BEST EPISODE!

I didn't expect what happened but I'm very satisfied. The chemistry between Enami and Eiko is great, she always likes to flirt with girls but loses very easily with the teacher. I totally support the Eiko x Enami now.

Hairpin Christmas tree! :D

Nice, Sensei! I guess that's a tie in the end, they both can equally play each other. :D

Can't beat Kamu, though. ^_^

She really is a good teacher in the end, though...

Drunk Sensei sure has problems... :D

Kamu might just have reason to get jealous here, Eiko's so good at seducing even their teacher... Or is it the other way around...? These two really are pretty similar, and affect each other in similar ways as well.

Wait... Did Eiko make that necklace? (later: And there we go, confirmed!)

Hana is quite sharp at times. And at other times overthinking things too much.

Hana sure gets a lot of hugs this episode.

That endcard, though...

Don't know why but to me I have a strong feeling that Eiko is actually older than she seems...I would ship her and the teacher together as I actually look at Eiko as being like Hana - for some reason she is behind in school.

that's just me though...probably.

As much as she may seem more mature than the others, she still has been Kamu's classmate before as well, though.

Seeing how these two were together in elementary before going to separate middle schools, it seems highly unlikely, though.

I wouldn't say she's a particularly good teacher - aside from the fact she doesn't like her job much, most of what she does after sobering up is really to save herself

Well, she and Eiko do have some interesting chemistry there and she certainly isn't as good at handling her as she'd like to be, but what made me say this was seeing her her talk with Hana.

That can be taken multiple ways really - it's hard to tell if Kiyose is happy that Hana made friends quickly, jealous or completely indifferent.

So they did adapted one of the special episodes about EnamixEiko. I really can't say I like it and I really hope they don't adapt the other one but we'll see.

I was thrown for a curve with the strong yuri vibe between Eiko and sensei. I now see Eiko as being on a different emotional level than the other girls. I was treating this show as a light comedy “cute girls doing cute stuff” show up to now. But I’m not complaining it’s all good. 4/5

Oh shit, does Eiko actually have legitimate hots for Kiyose? That would actually be a nice twist.

Possible too since Eiko's carefree flirty personality wins the hearts of all the girls too, but she always brushes it off whenever Tama jokes about it probably because she has no interest in them and it comes to her naturally.

But then she meets Kiyose, the one person who she can't conquer with her teasing, and always manages to lose at the last second even when she catches Kiyose off guard. So perhaps this is another case of the anime trope where X character couldnt make Y character fall for them so they genuine start to develop feelings.

Hairpins for days. Lots of Kiyose and Eiko messin around this episode, I feels like their trying to push a ship here... maybe... kind of... I DON'T CARE I'M DOWN WITH THAT. They have some nice interactions together, and I would love to see them together more. On that note, I just realized that Eiko is kind of developing her own harem with the main cast here, not just side characters.

Oh yes - she does her job. It just depends on whether Kiyose is just keeping to help to a minimum or not.

This episode pretty much killed the already platonic (bound to not happen) Eikamu and showed us that Eiko x Sensei is otp

The story does seem to have a bit of an edgy undertone, but I'd be surprised if something bad happened in this one.

At the moment, it could go either way :

Either Hana can tell her friends her secret before anyone else can and Eiko and co accept it without any problems.

Or

Eiko hears it from a very drunk Kiyose (either due to spite on Kyose behalf or Kyose thinking she's helping Hana) and no longer accepts Hana's friendship.

I'm heading towards the second option myself : Whilst Eiko obviously likes her teacher, it's hard to tell whether Kiyose feels the same or dislikes her.


I doubt it's the latter, coz Hana's "secret" is hardly even a secret, its too irrelevant and knowing how understanding the others are, Hana's secret would be generically understandable for them

It would all depend on how they find out really. If Eiko gets on Kiyose's nerves too much, I wouldn't be surprised in the latter retaliates.

Such a beautiful episode!
lolz Tokura has so many hair accessories just because its her bday!
Tokura was caught unguarded when Enami-sensei smelled her! it's like she didn't expect that...
So that necklace that Enami-sensei bought was the creation of Tokura, and it that sense she made a secret promise to Hana-chan not to tell anyone about that! Tokura was overjoyed because it's the first time that someone bought and liked her creation!
4/5.

Woah, I definitely did NOT expect the sudden yuri tones and Sensei/Eiko scenes ... but what can I say, I can actually get behind that?! Seems like she's the only one who can fluster Eiko so far, and it seems like Eiko's a little bit of a M to her S ... INTERESTING. Apart from that, Eiko making accessories is pretty cool too! I'd love to be able to do that :O Plus hopefully her telling Hana will give her a bit of courage into admitting her own secret as well. All aboard the ship I suppose ... lol :P

Beyond the strong yuri imprint of the narration, I have seen that the "genuine" character of the characters, especially of Hana, has been exalted even more. Like her friends, I would like to hold her tightly and not leave her. Excellent the quality of drawings and animations.

I am starting to think maybe Eiko already has control of everyone in her school, except the teacher. That might be why whenever someone gave her a present, she would automatically lower her head, knowing they all would give her barrettes. The thing about the teacher, Eiko just thinks of her as a challenge, and the more effort she has to use, the more she is falling in love with the teacher. After seeing that episode, it seems to me like Eiko and the teacher are going back and forth with the teasing to see who breaks first. Other than that, this episode was amazing.

I honestly like Eiko maybe the least.. With how she sometimes plays with others' feelings around.. So don't really care about scenes more centered on her, I guess.. Well, she likes teacher, because she's harder accessible or something, right?.. Well, it goes along with her playing around, I guess..
I like teacher, though.. But not interested in Eiko playing around with teacher, really.. I really dislike Eiko just playing around with everyone..
Sensei, you need to stop drinking really.. I'd not trust Eiko not to use information of her being tied up by adult, by teacher.. She can easily blackmail you really with this.. So I'd advice really to stop drinking..
Overall, more Eiko centered episode, so don't really care that much about it.. I don't like, how she's playing around.. Sometimes with Kamuri, sometimes with Enami, meets many other girls, according to her schedule, and scenes we saw her being seductive.. She's really a playboy character, just a girl.. Playgirl, something like that?.. Either way, I don't like her.. Even if maybe understand that she's just good at that, so she's trying to experience the most or something..

I would bet this episode being the best episode of this anime. Very good.

It gave me a boost to watch the anime until the end.

PS.: not the the other episodes were bad, they were fine, in general. With a few and good (yurish) moments.

The show is credited as made by A-1 but here it's listed as CloverWorks i.e. when they were still part of A-1. If it's really them, I'm now unsurprised on how well-done the fluid animation is. I also got hints of the art style and direction that would later be used in Bocchi the Rock (examples: Bocchi's awkwardness and Ryo eating weeds)
