I've already read ahead, and I'm just glad they're doing the story great justice in how the emotional scenes are portrayed. I, for one, like how the show is not keeping Takezo & Hiro a mere "second-string" couple to the inherent/latent geniuses.

The romance/ships episode I would say. A bit of a lax after the events of the competition that is aptly needed.

But first, Takminami-sensei giving them the push to a smaller goal but to the next. Which shows his change of heart. And Tetsuki as study advisor. Wow the X and Y feels, although Mathematics is complicated. But deep down, Tetsuki is grateful for Kurata for saving Chika's life and turning his world upside down into a life of purpose. What a friend he has in solace.

More trouble for Hiro (even though it was momentary), but Takezo took it with his stride to protect like he did before. Same for Hozuki too, with flustering feelings for Chika.

So...could it be? Hiro X Kurata and Hozuki X Chika??? If by any standards, this was a nice addition to characterization.

Another nice episode, taking more shape now.

This was a surprisingly boring episode. It had too much focus on romance between characters who haven't been properly fleshed out yet.


Not properly fleshed out? did you even watched season 1? the sexual tension between the main couples are there since the beginning and is reaching the roof lol

Sexual tension does not mean a character has been fleshed out. The characters don't feel like proper humans yet, and the anime is trying to focus too much on romance before making them feel like proper humans that we can care about.

I know some people just like romance no matter what, but I need to care about a character first before I care about their love lives or goals in life. However, I don't know simple things about these characters like their hobbies, their favourite foods, their least favourite food, their guilty pleasures, their least favourite activities, the genres they enjoy, the clothes they prefer to wear, the colours they like, their childish fears, etc. Maybe we will learn about these things in the future, but we don't know them yet. So, it's still too early for a romance arc.

Ahhh so many ships, my heart can't take it


Let's hope that this will not become a Pearl Harbor in few episodes because of some dumb shitty plot twist.


One of the best episode so far including S1.

Ahhhh !, my heart was about to break out in this episode. I was really touched by the scene when Takezo defended Hiro from his despicable ex-boyfriend and ex-best friend, Takezo has my respects and I take my hat off, every time he becomes stronger and braver. It was also a beautiful scene when Chika accidentally kisses Hozuki ❤. I can't believe it, the love between those two couples has been growing little by little that they can't hide it anymore, the only one who doesn't realize is Chika, hahaha.
Professor Suzuka behaves like a true Koto Club advisor, it was about time! Now I like him much better. I was surprised by the intelligence of Tetsuki, he has a very peculiar way of teaching Chika and his friends, hahaha, ... he is a great friend.
In short, I loved this episode 😁.

It was an okay episode. The focus was more on romance and that’s a good thing, so I enjoyed it.

Too much romantic stuff, it seemed that I was watching a different anime. It seems that people were right in a topic here to focus so more on ships since Koto almost disappeared for one episode. Still quite enjoyable, but a bit cliché (cute, but somewhat forced, but not every series can have a slow and natural pace like Chihayafuru). People should definitely cry less, especially Kurata (not so respectable senpai "sonkei sareru beki senpai"). Otherwise, I still like Kurusu and her laughable "dark past" brought all the time by more whining people.

But, but, but, the maths scene was absolutely hilarious; guess I should teach like this in the future!

"You see these homology groups, they are hidden behind your topological space, and this is up to you guys to discover them as brilliant gems lost in a dark cave!"

" Discovering the uncharted territories of mathematics will make you the modern Columbus, but the salary and the safety conditions will be waaay much better."

I beg to differ. I think introducing their favourite foods, their least favourite food, their guilty pleasures, their least favourite activities, the genres they enjoy, the clothes they prefer to wear, the colours they like, their childish fears, etc will just waste time in an anime. That part should really be put the extra. If you are really curious, the manga did introduce them. Besides, I think those things doesn't really matter for starting a romance.

Holy crap ships has been sailed in this episode. HiroxKurata is so cute and Kurata seemed to improve a lot like when he defended Hiro and gave the 'stare'. Also, it's the first time I've seen Chika became flustered with Hozuki which is cool

Cute asf, but annoying asf at the same time haha. Definitely more of a fan of Kurata x Kurusu right now, a "bad girl" like her falling for this timid guy is a troupe I quite enjoy xD

Suzuka's taking his club advisor duties seriously and looking out for them, he even picks Sane to play the 17-string instead of Satowa which means he actually acknowledges each and every one of them...and the guys finally appreciate where he's coming from.

Apparently Tetsuki's actually smarter than all the four idiots combined, he has a funny but very effective motivational technique for them, and he even manages to feed them too!

...and apparently it's shipping season again, I though it never really ends but it seems to be beginning all over again. LOL

Damn, it's been a long time since everyone in the Koto club ate a fun meal together at that restaurant where you cook your own food.

Also, LEZZGO, Kurusu is falling in love for Kurata! Kurata is such an amazing person. He protected Kurusu from being emotionally damaged by those two people who emotionally damaged her from before. COME ON YOU TWO, BECOME COUPLES

Oh no, they are going all in with the romance. I really wish it wouldn't be about this. I can only hope that the reason Houzuki and Kurusu don't want to fall in love is that it will break the friendship in the club which would be an interesting development.

That being said, the way Takezou defended Kurusu was so good. Nonetheless, a good episode. And of course we have a school festival, wouldn't expect otherwise.

I have this fear that season 2 will end with the preliminaries for Nationals and end on a cliffhanger just like in season 1. I really hope that I'm wrong, lol.
