It was a nice episode but why do I get the feeling things will just return back to normal until maybe the end of the series...

Harima's such an awesome character. His action scenes and touching scenes are both wonderful. :')

It does seem like things are just going to go back to way they were, though. Probably because of Tenma's naivete.

It was serious episode indeed But i liked it just for that . Harima is awesome guy. Taking that dish was bit of mistake however he didn't know that.

I bet that everything will come back to Harima ending up with another misfortunes on him trying get Tanma but she will be too dense or something like that .. i hate it !! let us have better ending!!! :D
I hope im wrong!! :P

This episode is pure gold..
Also the BGM played when Harima hug Tenma from behind.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

They've been developing the relationships a whole lot more than they were in season one... especially with Eri, Tenma, Harima, and Yakumo. Season two feels like it has much more romance and a lot less comedy in comparison to season one. Season one just used the romance as a means to create comedy, season two separates the romance from the comedy.

I hope they bring some form of closure at the end. I didn't really care much about the romance at the end of the first season because it was never really taken very seriously, but with how things are going in the second season, if they end it like they did the first season I'll feel a little disappointed.
Some parts of this post may be exaggerated.

for some reason I just wanted to punch tenma when she said " you can't come into our house, what are you doing here" and started calling Harima a liar.
Harima may be all cool n all, but he really needs to change his taste in women ( eri or yakumo)

Tenma's reaction was pretty good, kept things a bit less of a strain.

Harima riding the large bowl was absolutely awesome. When those fish torpedoes came after him it was like an episode of TTGL I couldn't stop laughing. That hug was a really unexpected and sweet moment. That's the closest his feelings have gotten to Tenma, I wonder if he'll actually get through by the end. Solid episode overall.

Loved Harima and Tenma, obviously, but I really liked Yakumo too. They always manage to get her personality and actions across without her really even saying anything. She's such a subtle character. But anyway, I'm surprised Tenma didn't completely freak out on Harima about the dish. Her reaction was very mature. It was nice.

NO! The people on the boat! Are they dead!?

It was quite shocking to see Tenma lash at Harima. Very different from her happy attitude.

It seems or what it looks like Tenma now knows that Harima likes her.

That part with the fish missles and Harima dodging them was hilarious!

That part where Tenma gives Karasuma his present while trying to hide herslf crying was hard to watch. I couldn't help bad for her.

At least Harima knew he fucked up. Fuck up big time!

That was a cute hug from Harima to Tenma. Harima must've been terrified right there. Unknown if he should've done that or how she will react to him. You can see him shaking.

I wonder if it will be TenmaXHarima. It can still go that way. Although I prefer Harima to end up with Eri.

Wow, what an episode. It was touching, serious and there was progress.

That is really a great ED.

Oh, the people on the boat are alright. Cool.

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

An episode like this makes me wish Harima would just take the L and have more interactions with Eri or Yakumo.

Never liked the romance between Harima and Tenma, and this episode just reaffirm that. I would be really disappointed if he end up with her over Eri or Yakumo

Tenma would be the last person that I ever want Harima to end up with, goddamn does she not give a shit about Harima. Harima's love is as foolish as he is, and I feel immensely bad for the guy. He's generally a good character but damn you need to find some new love interest man.

I doubt anybody will care but the song that played when Harima hug Tenma from behind was a tribute to 'Love Story wa Totsuzen ni' wich is a very popular song in Japan.

Ok I can totally see how this anime helped inspire kaguya sama the guitar riff was just in point it felt like watching again something which I was already familiar with.

Apart from that I also loved the scene where Yakumo explained why Kenji likes Tenma

Significant progress in Tenma x Harima ship. That hug in the end was so sweet! So, is Tenma fully aware now that Harima has a thing for her, or is she dense as usual? Friend-zoned? Haha

"nothing to lose at this point". You sure? Finally, this arc is over. The hug, shaking hands... aware they won't go beyond. i know how Harima feels, some people are just bound to lose, lose, lose until a breaking point.
