"For some reason I feel like eating bear curry now."
"Darling, don't say anything."

XD LoveCom is able to keep the hilarity at the saddest point in the series :(
If the jokes hadn't been there then this episode would've felt weird...

Meh... I liked this series at first, but its starting to drag so much that its just ridiculous!

Seriously... This has taken WAY too many episodes and still NOTHING. Its honestly getting on my nerves at this point. I'm still watching this show because of the good flavor the first few episodes left me with. They were exaggerating Otani's dumbness a little too much (in the last few episodes) and its been taking up a lot of time. They repeat lines a lot I noticed... Its just lulling on and beating around the bush, whereas the first few episodes moved at a nice, steady pace.

I felt so bad for Risa, but at the same time I think that he knows he hurt her. I hope that they get together!!!

I totally understood the bear curry part! There have been times I've been so upset that all I could say was one word or phrase over and over, even if it made no sense. So I totally felt for Risa there.

Oh, and Otani seeing her so upset! I wonder what will happen ~

Another bad episode and it seems like it will keep being this way.
It's such a shame, I was really enjoying it until episode 6.
I guess I won't find another anime like Itazura na Kiss.

Otani fails at life. Seriously, I'd love it if this show threw in a new male character that is pretty much badass, and had Risa x Him go out and be happy. Then, Otani finally figures out he's a fucking moron and actually likes Risa, but she's not available anymore.

It would be so good if that happened.


This would be the best route.

Risa and her friends have every right to push Otani off a cliff for his stupidity and all the pain it caused. Still, I can't fault him for giving her an honest answer. Now I'll always shed a tear every time I whip up some bear curry. :-(

The bear curry comedic part matched so well with the sad fact of being rejected... comedy mixed with emo-ness XD

Otani was great in this episode. He was being all serious and mature about it and I don't get why people dislike him for his behaviour. He can't force himself to suddenly see her as his girlfriend or fall in love with her. And he was honest and kind while giving Risa his answer. During the scene at the airport I was honestly impressed with his straightforwardness and lack of anime-ish teenage embarrassment. He's taking her seriously and not rejecting her just because of her height, and he was really thinking about it. He's cool.

I really loved this episode, humour was great, drama too. Bear curry was such a great mixture between comedy and real emotion, I was laughing while having tears of compassion in my eyes. :) And I thought the emotions and interactions were much more believable than last episode. For me, Otani totally made up for all his stupidity and has become a really cool and interesting character.

This. :)

It's not because you truly like someone and get along very well with them that you can suddenly go from the Buddy relationship to a love one. It's obvious he doesn't want to hurt her and does take her seriously (I prefer that to him dating her and risking to wreck their friendship whereas he's not sure about his feelings).

I really like how this series is dealing with that issue so far.

I'm looking forwards to seeing the next episodes, even if tis suuuper sad and it's becoming harder and harder to not cry. :p

I love Otani though. His whole attitude and character about the situation was beautiful. If only there were more guys like that in real life.. :)

I started crying along with her when I saw Otani behind that corner, but then I started laughing when Nobuko said that thing about Risa being a spokesperson for bear curry, so at the end I wasn't sure if I was amused or depressed.

My thoughts exactly. I really liked how Otani responded. Even if he is secretly considering Risa as a potential girlfriend, based on the relationship they've had up until now, the whole prospect is surely nerve-wracking. I'm sure he doesn't want to wreck what they already have any more than Risa does. I also kinda got the impression Otani had more to say, but Risa cut him off with one of her usual, epic panic attacks.

I feel really bad for Risa (I know I would be upset too), but I'm sure it's not over yet. Otani looked pretty miserable about making her cry, and I'm sure that really drove home how serious she was.

I feel for the guy, really.

I can understand his situation. If you just never thought of a friend as a possible girlfriend, it's incredibly tough to suddenly look a that same person in a whole new light. And in a way, he actually shows just how much he cares for her by not lying about always loving her back, but honestly telling her he's somewhere in between. Then later, when he realises his feelings better, at least he's giving himself the best possible shot at making Risa a happy gazelle.

I dig this comedy, it's pretty rare to see almost every episode having a good deal to do with explicit confessions and relationship development. Most of these comedies seem to think development is a swearword...



Yea his reaction is normal. The same thing happened to me at a younger age. It's hard to have to see someone in a new light. In my situation it actually took a whole week before we spoke again ahah. And she's much taller than him too. Which really dosn't help the situation.

I don't really like romantic comedy usually but this one manage to be really fun and dosn't skip the hard parts.

Yeah, I guess that response was to be expected... I feel so bad now :(
But I was prepared to it, so the shock was amortized.

Damn, bear curry sound delicious... o.O
''What are you? The representative of bear curry?!?'', That line made me cracked up xD

All this episode felt so awkward. Poor her, she really can't go back now.

That might have been the single best depiction of a dream I've seen in any medium, ever. It's exactly how dreams work.
"Though mountains crack, and ice will thaw

Though walls will fall, to tooth and claw

Though stars will fade, and shadow spread

On the heights we stood, with iron red.


And as they died, they killed the dead.
