| Natsume and Izumi are both coward. Komiya is too good for Izumi. And yet she is going to be the only one who will suffer at the end of this show. I hope people should stop using a good character to just bring main couple together. What is Komiya's role in this show? To make Natsume realize her love for Izumi right? Dafuq that's so cruel =.= |
Daniel_Naumov said: I am sorry but this is driving me mad, what is your definition of misunderstanding and where exactly is it in this particular series? The fact that Eita and Mio have feelings for each other,but still don't go for each other is enough to be interpreted as misunderstanding. |

| This episode made me like Komiya even more. She went to different shrines to get those amulets for Izumi. And the Komiya and Izumi scene was great. I can understand Morikawa, wanting to wait till things settle down for her. If Souma can wait for some months or even years, then it can work. If he can't, then the ship sinks. At least she made things clear. |
 |
| I don't see how there is much like for Mio at this point. She hasn't done much of anything to further her relationship with Haruto since middle school. Now all of a sudden she decides she likes Eita, while Komiya gets thrown under a rug. My enthusiasm for this show is quickly dying. Oh, not to mention using these exams as excuses to hold off on telling her feelings. For real? |

Natsume cries about a phone wallpaper. I wonder who the best girl is. Wow the way you put it... Have you even watched the episode correctly? Natsume clearly said: "I'm completely serious about him!" Yeah she lets a few tears drop but that doesn't mean that she's upset or depressed anything. She's reaffirmed her feelings for him there. And at the very end she says: "He doesn't even know how I feel, after all. I'll definitely pass the test. Then, I'll lay bare all my feelings". Now that's not just a crying girl who doesn't know what to do and has given up on Eita is it. |

Stark700 said: what did eita give komiya then? permission?THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Quite a melancholic episode as I would expect. Ena also gives Eita a piece of chocolate like a return gift. As for Haruto, at least he got an answer from Morikawa this time. I kinda like how this epsiode amplified the romance theme of the show with the chocolates. |

Now that's not just a crying girl who doesn't know what to do and has given up on Eita is it. This series is lacking any sort of proper development between them. She finally realized her obvious feelings for him at the end of the series, even though she's done nothing but act overly jealous for the rest of the anime. So far Ena has been the only girl who has interacted with Eita in any sort of way to be considered development for a romance. So you're saying that Mio doesn't even deserve to be a potential partner for Eita? That's harsh, Mio has tried to give chocolates to Eita in this episode, but failed after seeing the background pic. At least she tried. That's all that matters for me. Yeah, Komiya has done a lot more and deserves even more than a guy like Eita. But I just don't think Eita has been fully convinced by her feelings. Antanaru said: Someone remind me, isn't the guy applying to the school Natsume was originally aiming for but now changed her mind? Eita is applying to the uni which Mio's initially tried. But Mio is now applying to the uni where Eita got a recommendation for. Basically they're going to the opposite unis. Hope that misunderstanding gets solved. |

| What do people see in Natsume? She's a proper sadsack and has spent most of the series moping around. Koymiya is a much better character I like her alot, I'd be amazed if she wins though as anime is too predictable. |

But that doesn't mean that she's terrible. She has achieved some things at least. Her development has been slow and has took more than half the series for any decisive changes to be seen. At least we've seen that she's definite on what to do now. She even tried to give chocolates for Eita, but failed because of the background pic. Stupid reason but I can understand it to some extent. After all the courage she managed to build up... But have to admit Komiya was the MVP in this episode. |

| Komiya was so adorable, not to mention surprisingly thoughtful. However, unfolding events do not seem to be kind to the best girl. Morikawa's response to Souma made me feel exceedingly lukewarm. Really? At least there is hope for Souma, sometime in the future... Thumbs up for Komiya's club members, though. |
| Pretty good episode. Particularly because of Morikawa definitely has started liking Haruto and she knows Haruto will be waiting for her. It was pretty sweet rejection because it's just temporary. :) Meanwhile, Komiya was actually very sweet in this episode and somehow she realized she had done something terrible to Natsume so she actually removed the wallpaper. I was sure she wouldn't care because I wanted to see her going all out for her own love yet she still has some softness within her which makes me think will come to hurt her. I actually preferred the Komiya who asked Natsume and then still went on a date with Izumi despite of being not told to. Yet, I cannot bring myself but like her more for what she did in this episode. Gotta say Natsume is really in love with Izumi and her failure to control her emotion, becoming all teary and running away just seeing Komiya's picture on Izumi's phone says her love for Izumi is in a complete different level compared to what she felt for Haruto, nonchalantly accepting the fact that Haruto liked Morikawa. I am still rooting for Natsume though. And I noticed the change in the opening which makes me think Natsume will win in the end.  |

1idd0kun said: scruffykiwi said: Eita shouldn’t be doing anything. As far as he knows Mio still has a crush on Haruto and nothing he has seen has changed that view. In fact events early on confirmed to him that Mio still had a thing for him. Haruto’s crush is going nowhere so hes still in the picture as far as Eita is concerned. Its all up to Mio to change the story. She’s the one dithering and doing nothing. This is bullshit. Eita isn't stupid. He should have realized Mio's feelings at this point. She's not even subtle about it. The reason he doesn't do anything is that he's coward. This is nothing new. He has always known he doesn't have the balls to confess. That's why he admires Ena, who has the courage to openly pursue a guy she knows likes someone else. Mio already did a lot. She moved on from Haruto and stopped trying to follow on her sister's footsteps. Now the ball is in Eita's court, specially after his fuckup with the wallpaper. Eita’s “stupidity” if you want to call it that is perfectly understandable. Picture this; Eita and Mio in middle school get along and Eita begins to develop feelings for her. Being a normal teenager he starts to wonder if she has feelings for him and watches for those clues. Sometimes he thinks that yes perhaps she does like him. THEN one day he realizes, she doesnt like him, she likes his best friend!! That calls into question their whole friendship. Was she just getting along with him so she cold get close to his friend? He’s crushed and decided to never trust his instincts again. Fast foward a few years and he’s back. From his early interactions with Mio it’s apparent she still likes Haruto. He is not going to allow any ‘cues’ to trick him this time! Now, the ironic thing is that Mio probably did like him back then and the cues he was picking up were correct, but Mio was stuck in a crush with someone she didn’t really know and so didn’t recognise what she had. Finally, its a bit off to kick Eita for not knowing that Mio now likes him where he has liked her for years unwavering and yet she never realized. |

| Hazuki what the fuck? You don't just crush a guys' heart then uncrush it saying that you will what, date him after years of college if he still likes you? That's insane. Too bad Haruto is the exact kind of guy who would wait then it will turn out that Hazuki got a boyfriend already in those years... So yeah, being in the "after college" zone is definitely not a win lol, poor guy. Of course the "good guys finish last" could also apply and Haruto wins in the end. Maybe it's a foreshadowing to a second season with more drama? I wouldn't mind that. This show doesn't deserve Ena yet she is still pushing forward knowing that she will lose, if anything her club will be intact at least by the end of this. Damn, I haven't read any spoilers but I already feel the ending. Eita will probably fail, ends up going to the place where he got a recommendation, Mio will succeed hence ending up in the same school and both will be confused as fuck as to what's going on and a confession happens xD. |
| The side romance, though. She said yes in a way. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| That was one big example of rejection... or not. I would make her confession bit less dramatic but it wasn't so bad. Seems like Haruto x Hazuki are pretty much settled now, even though I don't understand why she is so opposed to start dating him now when both of them have feelings for each other... or maybe it's long-distance relationship that she fears more? Yeah, it can be hard but they have phones, internets and so... I'm just saying that the way they are now it would be even more painful to not embrace each other right now but that's her choice I guess. So, about Ena and Eita - does people here still think they doesn't have the right chemistry? ;) She actually pursues her goal, make him notice her - and IRL that's what makes the other actually fall for you. They can talk naturally about almost anything, they can smile around each other (the most important thing!) And the boy who doesn't care about you don't goes to meet you everytime you write him, that's for sure. Compared to that, Natsume is still indecisive, broken, still delaying her attempts further and further - in her mind only. She still doesn't know what she really wants. Before she notice, her life will move on and her chance goes away. I'm sorry but I can't really root for her, I simply can't. Every conversation she has with Eita is awkward at best and brings them only more pain and even when liking each other in some way people are often not very comfortable to pursue such situations, they will probably avoid each other even more now. And that's not how you start good relationship. The best she can do now is probably to let go, stop looking to the past, turn the leaf and step forward to the promising future. That's honestly the ending I would like to see for her (although it's very possible she'll change her school again now that she saw his phone background with Komiya). |
| LOL kek! who person would ever put the picture of a rival girl on their smartphone wallpaper and forget to change it and the girl who like you saw it! bam! epic fail! as for Morikawa & Haruto, I wouldn't count on waiting for the girl to finish college and then if the guy still likes her and they go out?!? what the heck is that? not even long distance relationship!? what if the girl accidentally fall in-love with someone? all hopes crushed! BAM!!! Komiya Ena still remains as best girl! 4/5. |
 |
| Why some people sympathize with Natsume?! Seriously, she used to love another guy for so long up till recently, but after releasing that she had no chance she moved to another one in instance! Komiya even started loving Eita before Natsume! Edit:/Considering how Natsume so simply stopped loving her long crash and now cry for another guy who she just started loving, its really annoying and seems like she is fine with any guy confuses to her. |

It’s up to Mio to let Eita know her feelings have changed because SHE knows that Eita was aware of her crush. We as audience know that Mio Gave up on Haruto But Euta Still Thinks That She Likes Haruto And I Guess We all know that Mio will be with Eita at the end |

Edit:/Considering how Natsume so simply stopped loving her long crash and now cry for another guy who she just started loving, its really annoying and seems like she is fine with any guy confuses to her. +1 What made me don't like Natsume the most was probably her attitude. Like, when she cried over the photo she made an angry face. Nah she has no right to get angry about this, at least try to draw a sad face for her. Or when she glared at Komiya on the train etc. The way this anime is portraying Natsume right now makes her feelings for Haruto for a long time looks really cheap to me. She easily let it go without doing anything because the guy had someone he loved. It's a good sign that when she moved to Izumi, she tried to give him her chocolates. But just because a screen wall she cried and got angry and ran away?? At least ask Izumi did he love Komiya or anything ok? The guy even tried to explain you know. But well, I guess since the very begin I didn't like Natsume, I can't sympathize her and can't bring myself to like her after all these stuff happened. I remembered someone explained that because Natsume was the main heroine so people didn't want to root for her. Really? I'm usually on the side of side heroines because they always tried f*ckin' harder than the main heroine but always had a sad ending. Try to portray a main heroine that is great as Katou Megumi then I won't have any complain. |

| As always Komiya is Best Girl. The one nice thing is that really she can do better than this bs so I don't care much. She'll be just fine and will find much better people who actually support her. Izumi is a sullen little shit, as is Natsume. I really don't see them being happy together, but at least if they get involved then they'll spare others from getting burned. Morikawa is stringing Soma along. I feel bad for him because he thinks this will actually work out. |
| #TeamNatsume Gambateh!!! |
| Natsume really needs to chill with being Captain Passive. She's barely spoken to Izumi ever since the festival, leaving him to think she's still in love with Haruto. When she does realise her feelings she just runs away crying, and now she's planning on waiting even longer to say something after they're in the same college. Meanwhile Ena's talking to him, going on dates, giving him gifts and supporting him. If this wasn't an anime it would be clear who the right pick would be. |
 |
| Goddamnit, episode after episode, I hate Natsume so much. She's so egoistic yet so indecisive. She is seriously going to ruin all three Komiya, Izumi and herself's relationships with that shitty behaviour. Or we will have the usual shitty ending where the first two characters of the show get together anyway. Why Pine Jam, why? You're making an original, don't let the two MC get together, it's predictable and lame... |
| bruh |
| Ena is sooo much better than Mio. I mean as a person. She is nice, funny and really cares for Eita. While Mio didn't actually do anything. I understand that she has to study but no one studies all the time, that's just an excuse. Ena is also doing her club activities, always taking photos and stuff and still find the time to be with Eita. She supports him while Mio just ran away crying, didn't even listen to Eita, and moreover now that she realized she loves Eita, and she nows perfectly well how Eita feels, she just decided to wait until the time will be right for HER. Again she only thinks of herself. I really hope Ena will win at the end, she should win! |

| I was even angry when she told Komiya not to ask him on a date before that, like she had some right! I think this was the moment I started to hate her character. she instead should have at that moment started competing with Komiya fairly sekuhara said: The way this anime is portraying Natsume right now makes her feelings for Haruto for a long time looks really cheap to me. Seriously, it also make us wonder if her love for Eita is true or just another self satisfying of her. I think she is kind of selfish. |
| Just a question not to bash anyone but, why do some of you guys support Natsume at all? I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but....really what is there to like? I'm just not seeing it. Not bashing anyone of course. Just enlighten me what I'm missing out on. To me the only positive thing about her she's done was reassure Morikawa....in which Morikawa still kind of rejected Haruto but not really in this episode...soooo what was the point of that? Actually Morikawa was very irritating here. Last episode she acts all bummed out that Haruto didn't comment on her hair, and so she rewards him by rejecting him. Don't get me wrong, rejecting him makes sense given her personality but it doesn't make sense given how she was written last episode. This is just being overly wishy-washy and you kinda just feel bad for Haruto, like he's having his feelings played around with. Also she really shouldn't have given him the after college response, that was just plain cruel. |
