Kotarou put in quite the performance at the festival there and Akane loved seeing him in action like how he loved seeing her run in that track meet. Too bad that festival performance though was clouded a bit by Hira's confession to Akane, cause even though she rejected him, the fact that Kotarou saw them together again while he was really confused about the future with Akane already announcing her potential move to Chiba on top of that was a bit tough on him. While he was annoyed, he still had solid resolve that never wavered when it came to trying his best to study and prepare to apply to the same school as her no matter what, and Akane crying on him feeling relieved that he was still okay with her and didn't dump her shows how much she cared about him and vice versa. The kiss only sealed that in the end. Kotarou's not book-smart so he has a lot to do to try and get this to work out, especially when trying to convince his parents for him to go to Chiba for high school, not even college.

I love this series so much!

I'm not sure whether to hate Hira or not. I mean he's not trying to steal Akane away, he's just trying to confess his feelings rather than regret it. But what that led to... I understand Kotarou's feelings but at the same time I felt really frustrated at him for treating Akane that way when all Akane wanted was to just spend time with him during the festival. I guess I hate Hira for having put them in that situation.

Glad that it all turned out great in the end! I went full fanboy mode at the end when they made up. The hug, the kiss. Oh my goodness it was way too cute! I love this series so much. Even with drama like this they still leave me with such warm and fuzzy feelings seeing those two.

My only regret is that this only runs for 12 episodes...

Looking forward to what I assume will be a great ending ^^

Drama is too forced but nice episode nonetheless. I wish we could see Azumi's dance more but I bet the animators' backs would break doing that

I need to keep in mind they are in middle school, and there are multiple factors in play, but getting all pissy at your girl because another guy likes her is so childish I hated that part. I'm just glad it ended really quickly

God that was pretty hard to watch, but the ending was soooooo cute, went crazy when they kissed. Hira is a total ass, going for a girl who's in a relationship is always pathetic. I'm glad Akane just politely turned him down, and happy he's out of the way. I have a grudge against him since episode 1.

Indeed I was uneasy watching, but I m not blaming that kid entirely, he was friends with her, and just wanted to tell her, if I was in his position I would do the same, so I could move forward.

The ending really made the episode, was leaving me really nervous during the middle, which was probably the point of whoever directed it.

That was tense at times! Jerk move from Hira there, at an event that should have been a special occasion for Akane (& Kotarou!).

The seeds of the situation were sown when Akane (in Episode 9) let slip she could be moving to Hira, who then sees a chance thinking Akane's days with Kotarou may be numbered...

Hira then invites the track team to the festival, Chinatsu (in Akane-friend mode) then warns Akane after she responds enthusiastically, and this combined with Chinatsu's conversation with Hira on the train indicates she knows exactly what is going on.

The Paper/Rick/Scissors game to throw out the trash was odd, maybe deliberate by the team or likely just a plot device needed to send Hira and Akane off together, but everyone else other than Hira and Akane - like 5 or 6 people - showing the same thing was a bit weird.

Trap was set, Hira played on poor Akane's naivete and she fell right into the trap, notice how uncomfortable she got once Hira mentioned pre-confession she would not have Imokoi (Kotarou?) once she moved, immediately followed by the confession, but her response was perfect. Maybe Hira's play was longer term- "see you at the track meets" during graduation...

Should both Akane and Kotarou have handled their communications better after that, hell yes, but they are both inexperienced and while Kotarou was clearly immature in his defense one thing piled on top of another as in addition to the exertions of performing at the festival and having the news of Akane's move:
- Akane had said she was with the track team, although sometime earlier, but still would have been a surprise to see her alone with Hira, and having a clearly intimate conversation
- Imokoi is a favorite of both Akane and Kotarou, if I recall EP8 correctly, and then Akane declines because she's full and he knows she eaten Imokoi with Hira, having seen the warpper in her hand
- Although obvious Akane is not even thinking about the Hira situation when she runs to and meets Kotarou, and probably why she's not registering what may be behind his questioning and mood, it's ALL Kotarou is thinking about alongside her move. The answers are not evasive, Akane just has no idea on the importance Kotarou is placing on them, and each interaction is compunding Kotarou's frustration

In Hira's defense, he did keep Akane's move a secret - that getting to Kotarou via another route than from Akane directly, in particular finding out Akane had told Hira first, coulda ended REAL bad....and prior to EP9 train station he'd seemed a decent enough guy, and get he was also probably cut-up over Akane's move.

Akane could have been with Azume in 10-ish minutes if she'd gone to meet him on the way after receiving his text, instead he had to walk almost half an hour after performing (each way, on a 1hr break...).

And she was not just hanging out with a guy she knows, this was time with a level of emotional intimacy (body language, this show is very good at that - she turns to face Takumi with direct eye contact during the confession FFS) spent with Takumi INSTEAD of her actual boyfriend - at a special event, and eating delicacies they both like.

Not because she set out to do that necessarily, more that she did not follow through on what was most important to her and take the opportunity to seek Azume out so they could spend the maximum amount of time together at the festival, and eat Imokoi together. That's what Akane's proactive run after Azume signified at the end.

Earlier episodes show she's not averse to a relationship with Hira either, he just never made a move, even when she gives him a chance in an earlier episode (5)

Akane's flaws just make her a more believable character, same as the other main characters in this show - none of them are nasty, they all do good things as well as make mistakes.

Akane and Azume both realize they effed-up in a way that threatened the viability their relationship, particularly with distance as a factor - and moved on from it in a better place than before. This is good.

Found myself hurting a bit for hira. He just wanted to get his feelings out there instead of bottling them up inside. Man needs a hug

Thought our mc was being quite the ignorant dick but I guess he just really really loves his girl. It’s good of course that he said sorry, but what I don’t like is how akane says that she’s sorry too... sorry for what? She turned hira down like a total girl-chad and stayed 100% loyal to her mans and he just makes her cry... w/e at least they made up in the end

Hot dam didn’t expect to get this invested in this sheet

what? its the opposite,feel bad for the mc because hira is ignorant dick,he already know she is taken,mc already call him out before and make it clear that "she is my gf,fuck off",and what hira said in this episode? "i love u first akane,im BETER THAN HIM,BREAK UP with him and date me instead because im better right akane?" now tell me who is the ignorant dick here?

1.your GF with another guy that confessed to her while u already told him IN FRONT OF YOUR GF before that she is yours and that guy need to fuck off,yeah theres no way you wouldnt act like kotarou if you are in his position.

2.childish,excuse me? u forgot that they are MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS? a kids that act like childish? isnt that called NORMAL? u probably watch too many "adult" romance that u forgot that this one is about romance between naive middle school kid couple.

Azume is pissed because Akane spends time with Hira INSTEAD of going to find him, and when Azume finds them they are up close and staring into each others eyes (literally, watch the scene...), then Akane is not entirely up-front about her time with Hira...

Azume had to walk 25mins to get to where Akane was, and the same back, on only an hour break - Akane shoulda headed off and met him halfway (she's quick...) in 10mins or so as soon as she'd gotten his text about having a break.

Sure, Azume got a bit jealous and did not handle it well, but he's just busted his ass to get to see her in between his performances - which the episode makes clear are exhausting. Azume has done everything he can to spend even a little time with Akane at the festival, Akane has not, and that's why she proactively ran and apologized at the end.

Oh man I'm so happy that Akane resolved this quickly. Things like that have to be resolved quickly otherwise it becomes a bigger deal than it should be. Either way, if Akane didn't do anything, Azumi wouldve. He just wanted to bring up good news in regards to Koumei when he apologized.

First love is very nice, but you feel like you're sinking when it's the first argument/anger.

I got too happy in this scene
