| By all the discussion on the tension between Kukuru and Fuka I still want to mention, that again Kai seems to be really interested in Fuuka. For example: When Umi-yan talks about Fuukas background with Kukuru, it was Kai who stays with Fuuka. And there are other moments where it is clearly shown, that Kai has some interest in Fuuka. The pace is much slower as between Fuuka and Kukuru. But I think really, that in the end Fuuka will have a good friend in Kukura and to be in love with Kai. We are talking of an anime with 24 episodes. Therefore the slow pace between Kai and Fuuka can fit to be together in the end. |

If there is a hyped slash ship in the work, then people tend to forget about the existence of straight love interests or even outright deny them. Think of TodoMomo. On the other hand, as you said yourself, this is only the fourth episode, so I think things can change in either of two directions. |

| Oh snap, wasn't expecting that her mom would show up so early or that everyone learned Fuuka's idol identity, I feel like it was kinda rushed but I think it added more spice that will make things more interesting. Also what's up with Kukuru and that maternity book? Is she really pregnant? Considering that one of the main themes of this anime seems to be maternity... it makes me wonder, but she did said that she wasn't pregnant unless she was lying... either way, that adds a cool mystery on her and will test her relationship with Fuuka if true. |

Remember that the last episode had her having such flashback too, when she asked the vet (Or something like that) the source of those maternity books, so it is not of her but of her mother (Supposedly, maybe I missed something) |
| This episode got weird... The scene where Fuuka and Kukuru touched each other's faces was a little too much. I personally am not into Yuri by the way. I hope this is friendship only and nothing else. The ending got heavy ^^; I wasn't expecting to see a visit from Fuuka's mom so soon, and by the looks of it, she might be forced to go back to her hometown. I'm thinking the possibility that those 4 bragged they saw the former idol and that's why Fuuka's mom found out about her whereabouts. Yikes! >.>; |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Where the hell did that come from? Fuuka was trying so hard because she wanted to get to know Kukuru better? 1. Why did she all of a sudden take such an interest in Kukuru? 2. Why would she subconciously go about it in such a convoluted way? 3. How the hell would she even realize that is why she was doing all this? It feels like this all came out of nowhere and feels incredibly forced. Like grabbing Kukuru’s hand and putting it on her cheek while calling her by her first name?? All of this is so out of character for Fuuka who is depicted more reserved. Unfortunately, I don’t sense any meaning behind it either. One of my least favorite trends in current anime is hinting at homosexual fanservice to entice ships and fanfiction while never commiting to making the characters gay. This strategy is so cheap and manipulative that it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If they do end up in a relationship together, I still think that it should have been built up better. Also, Fuuka being so afraid of others knowing she was an idol doesn’t make sense to me. I get she is working at the aquarium because she is running away from facing her failure, but that reaction was way too extreme. |

| the drama was still predictable, but it felt like an improvement from last ep. hoping for some nice lesbianism to spice up this season but honestly I have no idea how it'll go |
 |
| I like this one. I feel bad that there's some creeps out there but the duo of kukuru and fuuka is one that I'm really enjoying and this is a top 2 of the season for me |
 |
| Fuuka continues to be down bad she can't catch a break but it was overdue seeing how big her group actually was that people took notice. |
 |
| cutest shit ever. i hope they get together |
 |
| This episode was mostly about Fuuka opening up a bit and strengthening the relationship between the two mains. Did get a bit stupid with the Yuri bait face touch scene, but it was good overall. |
| An OK episode. If anything, it was uneventful. I'll give them a pass since it's a 2 cour show, but not much to note from this episode. I guess they introduced a new character and put some clarity on Fuuka's celebrity. Obviously, PA Works animation continues to be great. |
| Another charming episode! I really like all the characters. They were all so kind to Fuuka & it’s so nice how they looked out for her. The boys are amazing too & Kuuya is just a phaaaaaat mood lolololllll. Umi was a nice addition as well, it was cute how popular he was with the kids, the kids love him! Hope his back strain/injury is just a gag & gets better. Every episode has actually made me tear up in a way or another so far, I find the situation Fuuka is in pretty relatable, of course not that I was an idol, but just her running away from her past, meeting new people, having to face her past, working hard & the story of new connections & experiences. It’s pretty moving seeing her on this adventure in the next phase of her life. I also really love the calming OST. And the kijimunaa that appears every now & then is really so cute & always makes me smile. Loved the development & now that the idol thing is out of the way, I’m looking forward to seeing how the story plays out from here, seeing how it’s going to be 24 episodes. Hopefully her mother is just concerned about her & isn’t going to be unpleasant but we’ll see...... The ED lyrics are also so fitting & tugs on the heartstrings. One day, the pain will be just another thing of the past♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
Lnaua said: The animation quality is SUPER! and the story has a really nice pace, u feel comfy watching it, but I have to praise the music and sound directing too, mainly in the most touchy scenes, this story has really profound insights.... And I don't know if it's yuri or not, but shipping Fuuka and Kukuro anyway <3 About Kuuya-san, he's a kind of character that i wouldn't like much, he's boring... He's just the pretty-boy-with-femnine-traits-that-has-a-cool-feature stereotype that every otaku would like him just bc he's a "pretty-boy-with-femnine-traits that has a indifferent feature"... He's too ikemen to be liked by otaku. Rather, it is a character for a female audience. |

Sorry, I was really meaning 'female otakus' (female audience, as u said) when I texted 'otaku' here No problem. I do not agree with your opinion about him, but this is already a matter of tastes. |

| Can't a girl do a new job without being haunted by her past, smh my head people. Very sweet of the gang to protect Fuuka there, but with the arrival of her mother it seems her fun time is not gonna last |

I think Kai Just speechless cause well Fuuka is an idol and didn't realize it just like everyone else so he is trying to keep it cool in episode 4. Parts tell me he is there cause hoping Fuuka isn't going to use Kukuru and just leave without telling her. i think he is just suspicious and hope Kukuru doesn't get hurt. Who knows where this will go which yeah i agree 24 episodes. Right now i am loving Kai in the show! He is making the two girls get more closer and understand each other. Happy that it is working! If viewers think this is yuri bait, then KAI is a great love matchmaker and he would support them 100% People talked about the possibility of pairing them even earlier when they discussed Kukuru's past. But this is only the fourth episode, so I don't think I can "correctly" interpret any posible ship tease. |
|
| This anime is so wholesome. I'm glad we are going for a 24 episodes series on this original. |
 |
| so she just keeps those origami in her overalls? |
 |
| The relationship between Fuuka and Kukuru are cute. |
 |
| This episode was so enjoyable. They all worked together to prepare for the touching pool event with some funny moments. How they all left leaving Kai and Fuuka alone like that...that awkwardness was so relatable XD Umi-yan's entry was indeed creepy XD but he's such a nice and funny guy. That one moment just turned into those typical short 1 volume romance manga that I had to cringe a little but it was cute XD I don't understand those two maternity notebook thing. Most of you are saying they could be long lost sisters but to me they don't look alike at all. They're the same age so that's most probably not the case. It's more believable if they turned out to be cousins. Still no explanation about that little creature that shows up so randomly. |
| Fuuka's past finally catching up to her. Her mom's finally arrived. I wonder how they'll solve it. I forgot to comment last episode, but those pregnancy guidebooks... probably Kukuru's mom was pregnant when she died huh... |

He's probably not sure what they could talk about. Good thing the tv was there to save him. :p on Umi-yan... yeah, a large guy coming from a dark room, and he chases after her. I guess that's terrifying. xp |
| I don't understand you folks, yuri, not yuri, bait, not bait. What I see is a heart-warming anime with great characters <3 |
| Dat idol gal should embrace her new wagie and somehow and surely incorporate some idol stuff into the aquarium. No shame in dat. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Well now they all know she was a singer before, but it's sad that she has been recognized :/ I remember touching animals at the aquarium with the same activity, it's nice to see in the anime |
 |
| COME ON GIVE ME THE YURI |
| Well I'm shipping it, although obviously nothing will come of it. |
| Respect to Fuuka for putting in a lot of effort. Seems like her idol past still haunts her and by the looks of it her mother will too next episode. |
 |
| I'm clearly not that interested on this series if I only got exciting when the Mom showed up. The maternity pamphlet surprised me, like why is there, is some melodrama around the corner? |
| "You might understand better if you touch me." |
| Couldn't help but got annoyed about Miyazawa's helplessness-defendlessness and weak-toned like she made a small mistake or something. 「ちょっと」、「でも」、「ぎめんさい」、「すみません」。。。 |
 |
| Fuuka's mother looks pretty mad, and why wouldn't she be? Fuuka said she would be coming back home, but instead went to Okinawa and started working a live-in job. Then she lied to her mother by saying she was staying over at her friend Ruka's place. Only to then be told that she lied to her and is actually in Okinawa. That's a pretty valid reason to be mad, if you ask me. |
