| Main director of this series deserves a box of the beer. I'm really concerned about characters. Not mentioning about small nuances in the background which are keeping this series really natural. The tension is real. One of my favorites of this season despite that horrible 3DCG people.... |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| For some reason I think some people don't get how actually actual middle school romance works. No, Chinatsu is (and always) just being honest and headfront with everything. She is not trying to do anything evil, she knows that they are dating and she has no chance, but the way she handles it is VERY direct. Tell your friend that she also likes the same guy, just for the sake of being honest. Later, tell the guy (knowing that he will reject you anyway), get dumped, and move on. To her, she must be honest both to her feeling and people around her, and expecting everything is fine as long as everyone is honest. Super naive, yes, but that's kids. Of course, it might cause short term negative effect, but it's actually better than holding it and ended up becoming an unseen trouble for their relationship (or 4 arc of never ending romance drama if this is your typical adult romantic drama). She's simply at the age where she does not really know how people handle things differently, but it's not stemming from malice or desperation. Plus no, it won't cause breakup drama or NTR or anything like that lol. It's just kids handling romance with their own immature way. |
| tfw you get called by an editor and tell you to come here just to tell you that you suck at it |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| I don't know anymore, is Chinatsu cunning or retarded? |
 |
| This show has been a pleasant surprise so far and I'm really happy with how they're handling things. Now gotta wait a week for this cliffhanger lol |
| i was really surprised when i heard Sangatsu Kokonoka, i love this song its from the hit drama one liter of tears.. brought back a lot of good memories :") |
| Omg Azuma got his literature rejected nooooo grrrrr. Akane didn't win the race. Both of them still pursuing what they love. That ending omfg |
| Really enjoyed this episode. Was glad that Chinatsu wasn't intentionally trying to sabotage the relationship or anything, but even after the girls talked stuff out, she's obviously still a bit too clueless. She should know that giving a love confession to your friend's boyfriend is not okay. I can understand the desire for closure, but like, look. He already has someone he likes, isn't that closure enough? She only has two possible outcomes if she tells him: he rejects her and stays with Akane (what's going to happen obviously), or he decides "wait, I like you better, I'll dump Akane for you." Even if the second had a possibility of happening (which I don't think it does in this case), what good friend would DO THAT to their friend?? It doesn't matter if the possibility would exist that the guy might like you do given the chance. The chance doesn't exist. He's already going out with someone who IS YOUR FRIEND, CHINATSU. Lick your wounds and move on!! I guess this kind of cluelessness does fit what we've seen of her personality so far, though. So it's more that I'm annoyed with her personality, haha. But it feels realistic within the show. Meanwhile the continuing development of the main episode was very cute this ep. Love them meeting in the library and messaging that they miss each other late at night and supporting each other's ambitions through these temporary setbacks. Also, man, that editor was harsh. That's a really crappy thing to pull on a junior high kid. |
| Glad to see they handled the whole situation pretty well. Seems like she wants to confess her feelings for closure. Wonder how that's gonna end up. Also, quite the straightforward editor. Called him all the way over to the place just to tell he basically has no talent.... Lmao. |

zeroyuki92 said: That's my view of it too, frankly I think most people here are already aware that those are her true intentions, and that she really is just going to get shot down and move on, but because of all the stuff that's happened in other series we just kind of expect the worst, though I do admit a lot of those negative expectations are directly influenced by the way the show ends in such a dramatic fashion each and every episode.For some reason I think some people don't get how actually actual middle school romance works.

But yes I do agree, Chinatsu isn't trying to be cunning or evil, but there's no denying that in the process of her honest approach, she will be inviting potential drama, though with what the show has done recently I hold out high hopes that it's quickly and neatly resolved so we can continue with our Akane x Kotarou goodness. Nonetheless if there's one thing the dramatic cliffhangers are doing to me other than making me go bald, it's getting me excited and impatient for the continuation next week. Definitely one of my most enjoyed of the season atm also when is Akane going to shoot Hira down, just put the poor guy out of his misery Ryouko-sensei and Roman are cute af, Inaba's got a hard life ahead of him RIP |

| Good episode, it's seems like they are finally able to talk to each other casually, nice developement. Even though, from plot-perspective, it would be a lot better if one of them made it and the other one didn't.. Also, the ending was weird, you usually don't go confess to someone who is in relationship already, it only seemed as something to fuel further drama. But the rest of the episode was fine I guess and those aftercredits shorts were good as always. |
| Egh...I don't like Hira. Wouldn't be a good couple anyway in a long term with the way he acts. No consoling or cheer up at all. It's all sports for him. |
| The way how this episode went was pretty good and solid. I hope that the way how it ended it will go into good terms next episode. I hope Akane does not get a little 'iffy' on the track. I would want things to go into that kind of mode where things are resolved and talked. And we all be happy in the end. |
| Every single char in this series is a fking MVP. More guts than half the MCs of all anime. And the inserted songs are amazing. |
 |
| now i can say that all light novels are toliet towels for real based on what the editor said. becoming a novelist must have proficient writing skills well thats definitely tough but light novelist can just depict some erotic scenario in words with some nearly pornography and otaku will bite to it and be excited to death. |

| Great insert song. The series really set up its atmosphere properly. Characters are great. I love everything about it. While it don't get me hooked for more every week, it definitely is very well written. The end of this episode is rather different since I am rather curious on what will happen. I'm also rather confused on the intentions of Akane's friend... She said she knew that they were together(which is rather obvious) but also told her that she had a crush on him. Isn't it obvious that one should give up? So I guess they got that settled by Akane confronting her about it. Yet the whole confession for closure is rather umm idk slipper slope. I can get where she is coming from but.... Just doesn't seem quite right. Well I do assume she'll get rejected even if I didn't know Akane was the female lead. Logically, that would be the right and obvious move and based on his personality, he may be shy but he is fairly honest and direct when he needs to be. So here shouldn't be any problems there. I wonder if Akane will warn him first or what... or will she even agree to letting her friend confess. She probably will although upset... As for light novels not being serious literature. They aren't. They are kind of like Novella in the west. By no means that they can't be good but generally speaking full-blown novels are generally more mature in content and better written. Generally higher standard of quality. |

| As someone who ran track, I appreciate the attention to detail here. They're doing a good job capturing it. Especially in the little things like the runners waiting for their heat practicing timing with the gun from the heat ahead of them. The shorts at the end are great, too. XD |
| Those Miu x Inaba shorts though. He's the real man for putting up with his gf's crap x3 And I'm really interested with the sensei and colored haired guy's relationship :> |
| I got so exited hearing Sangatsu Kokonoka even though I could only remember Remioromen and not the song title initially. I get chills every time I hear this song. Reminds me of good times singing it at karaoke in addition to 1 Litre of Tears. |
| Damn too much sweetness to this show!! I already want a live-action premier! |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| at some point i don't trust chinatsu lol |

FredFriendly said: Frankly, I think Ayane gave her little sister some pretty good advice. What kind of best friend confesses to their best friend's boyfriend? Isn't that one of the bitchiest things a girl can do to her best friend? Personally, I think Chinatsu believes she's on a roll, having undermined Akane's confidence by sending her that text, causing Akane to lose to her on the track field, and now Chinatsu is all pumped up and thinks that she can steal Akane's boyfriend away from her. Ayane was right: ditch the #@%$!. You definitely don't need friends like that. During that last scene in the library I was fully expecting Akane to break up with Kotarou the way she was talking. And I wouldn't be surprised if, in the next episode, she tells Kotarou it's okay if he breaks up with her if he wants to go out with Chinatsu, or worse, just breaks up with him to give her "best friend" a chance. Chinatsu started out as a really great character, but she's turned into the worst character of the series. Hopefully, Akane will be able regain her composure on the track field and beat her so-called best friend at every single race going forward. As for Kotarou's "failure," certainly there's a myriad of extremely successful authors who's first works were rejected. A quick Internet search tells me, for instance, that "John Grisham’s first novel was rejected 25 times" so I don't think Kotarou should give up his dream. After all, that was only one publishing company. Someone else might have actually have had a different opinion. ibraheem234 said: tbh this is all what i want to saywell nest friend problems can be quite troublesome...why does she want to confess that is so not cool |
still life: pink roses |
| "Can I confess to him?"...I'm sorry BAKA says what!? Are you serious right now! What kinda question is that? Look I'm all for the ChinatsuXAzumi ship but c'mon you can't just ask the gf like that so plain! Altogether good episode can't wait to see what happens next episode. |
| I shall rule over the realms of anime and manga! Mwahhahahahaha!!! |
| Well that's a proper way to say that 'I give up' like I said the previous episode that the only problem child here will be Hira. I wouldn't be surprised if Inaba and Miu breaks up too lmao. Homura Sakura's fantasy was funny too. |
 |
| I won't say I can't understand Chinatsu, as a kid and even teenager, I was the kind of guy who just could say what he thought without thinking about the feelings of others (feelings? what is that?) So in the end I came out sometimes as extremely rude, not because I was a nasty kid (I didn't enjoy hurting people) but just because I was stupid or just wasn't thinking very far ahead. Other topic : I'd like to understand why Kotarou was surprised as he read the card of the publishing company guy. Does he have a famous name or something? I liked a comment I've read on reddit saying the guy was an asshole because Kotarou's writing is actually good but he wanted to manipulate him into writing light-novel because it sells better maybe. I am still bothered with our main couple "speaking skills". To be honest, I think the seyuus and the script writers are forcing it quite a bit too much. On the other hand 3 words a minute, it's a friendly tempo when you learn Japanese. abecyo said: insert song Sangatsu Kokonoka (March 9) - Remioromen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uglcY1aNdo4 it was released in 2004 and popular graduation song in japan lyrics translation http://www.animelyrics.com/jpop/remioromen/sangatsukokon.htm Thank you! Great song, I can understand why it became popular and 2 clicks away I came on "One more time, one more chance" these 2 stayed with me the whole evening. |
HeroVladimir93 said: Is it wrong for me to think Kotaro and Akane's relationship is the weakest part in the show? I can't fault the voice actors for delivering their lines as shyly and awkwardly as possible, but after 5 episodes, it kinda feels worn out. Sometimes I feel the supporting characters bring more life to show than the protagonists do. Anyway, the episode delivers some nasty defeats to both Kotaro and Akane, what with Kotaro getting turned down for a publishing award and Akane missing the chance to go to prefecturals. Those parts felt more organic and added more to the narrative than their so-called romance. Once again, the post-credit scenes are great. They should make a show based on them. I so agree with this! At first, I don't want to acknowledge it but the last blow is this Chinatsu girl telling Akane that she will confess! *sigh* i just hope this will not turn into too much drama. And yes, I am honestly enjoying the shorts more compared to the main story. Spin off please! hehe. |
| That Nishio is really pushing it! What closure? It's ok that she told Akane and it's nice to see that they will remain friends, as they should, but it should've been over with that. Akane likes Azumi and he likes her too and Nishio could see that from the beginning, so she should stay out of it. You don't mess with your good friend's relationship. |
| See? Chinatsu isn't much a threat ;) She just wanted to be officially rejected so she can call it 'finished'. Takumi on the other hand is very dangerous because he doesn't know anything about Akane's on-going relationship. T.T Akane's household seems to be more cheerful compared to Kotarou's... Well, being a lone boy child in a family really has its burden, yeah? Miu is definitely an embodiment of girls nowadays... thot? XD |

tohsakaa said: Well, now we know that Kadokawa is the main villain of the series. That guy basically said: "your writing is pretty shit so you should write light novels". It could be that that guy was just testing him though if he'd give up on his dreams |
I think that strangers are just friends you haven't met.  |
| I can't get over the Miu x Inaba shorts because they are just so funny... poor guy. Where can we watch the previews for next weeks episode? |

| This episode was waaay better than last week for me. They really are so cute together but it's obvious their relationship is definitely affecting the way they normally lead their lives which is PERFECTLY NORMAL so I hope the show doesn't make a big deal of that. Why is Curly kun's mom such a crab tho??? |
| It was a tough outing for both Azumi and Akane... It's cute how forgiving Akane is to Chinatsu, but I sure hope it doesn't come bite her in the back as the series progresses. The montage sequences was used well again in this episode. |

Must be a rough season, as far as production is concerned. FredFriendly said: Frankly, I think Ayane gave her little sister some pretty good advice.

Hopefully, Akane will be able regain her composure on the track field and beat her so-called best friend at every single race going forward. Yeah. All of this. Chinatsu was a bro the first couple of episodes. Now she's coming off as completely selfish. What happened? I'd like to say she's just acting like a kid at that age, but at the same time I'm worried they just had her do this to force a love triangle. If so, this is the first time Tsuki ga Kirei hasn't felt natural. We'll see where this leads. If nothing comes from this, it'll be okay. Anyway, point is, you've got two options here when you catch feelings for your friend's boyfriend/girlfriend: step away and come to terms with your own feelings, or end the friendship. You don't confess. They're already dating! Case closed. Those shorts are always good, btw. Miu and Inaba...well, moral of the story: girls are scary. And what's up with Roman and sensei? Is sensei into Roman? Are we getting into forbidden love territory here? Persona 5? Scum's Wish? :P |
| why Chinatsu wants confess to Azumi? it's obvious that he will turn her down and there is no point for that. she only makes situations more complicated and it cause put her in deep sadness. |

| This episode was a bit lesser good ep. LOL the sister of Akane almost break her secret to their parents about having a bf...lolz looks like Azumi isn't cut out for serious literature but instead go for LN type! Akane also didn't do went and couldn't make it to perfecturals. Looks like problems would start on Azumi's parents and doesn't want him to be a writer. Akane was a bit surprised that Chinatsu want to cunfess to Azumi for a proper closure. 4/5. |
 |
| Does that girl after the credits look like Homura from Madoka or what, lmao. Oh man this show is too cute. I hope we get a happy ending, it would break my heart otherwise. |
 |
| I like how the two protagonists are proactive despite their vicissitudes. Also nice is the relationship between Akane and Chinatsu, which does not so easily burst. This time, the twist, I got caught off guard. The final sketches, fun again. |
