| Ooh, this cultural festival turned into excitement. Not only was it a celebration of school spirit and culture, but it allowed everyone to gather together and make some memories. It was great to see majority of the cast here. Mitsumi looked like a nerd and out of place at the fesival though lol |
 |
| How should I put this episode... a collection of episodes for an ensemble cast? At least, the show succeeded in conveying subtle nuances, compared to the source material. |
| Well it's nice to see that things are going well so far but with that cliffhanger we could be in for a ride next episode. Seeing Mitusmi down because she didn't know anyone in the region from outside the school was sad but at least she handles it was, it's a situation i experienced myself and can be hard i at times. And the class helping out with the little brother was also nice to see. |
| KEIRI IS SO PRECIOUS MAN MY HEART Poor Kanechika. And I'm guessing he won't have a chance to talk to Shima now that this happened. NOOO NOT RIRIKA Only one episode left of this masterpiece. Really hoping for a season 2 someday but I'll hop into the manga when this ends. |

| shima's little step brother is so cute it's great to see everyone having fun at the school festival |
| The cultural festival was a nice and relaxing day. The play they performed was really good. Mitsumi, who doesn't have many friends in Tokyo besides her new school, feels even lonelier. But she has Yuzuki, who showcased her artwork and reminded everyone not to judge artists based on their appearance. Makoto bought them churros, and Mitsumi's friends outside of school feel nervous around Yuzuki because she's popular. But Yuzuki is just like everyone else, dealing with her own problems. Shima's little brother was adorable. He got lost briefly while watching some girls dancing, so he still needs someone to watch over him. Thankfully, he remembered the class code. On the other hand, Ririka seems very suspicious. |
| Get the toxic outta here! Or what I would've really liked if they did that, but guess since she's already here in a getup and with motives which scream nothing but trouble, I'm kind of looking forward how they'll conclude this next week, because that ending gives an idea even Shima's mother has a history with her. |
 |
| OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the drama lets go |
| Ririka arriving and then dark clouds appear at the end. Looks like trouble's brewing. |
| Oh damn that ending, drama coming? Just one more episode left too. That said Shima's brother is cute. Also I was really hoping that Mitsumi's friends would show up, would be so sweet. |
 |
| It's so cute how the girls are becoming such close friends now, Makoto buying them churros and Mika running to get churros! That's quite the friendship! Sousuke and his little brother are so cute! Then there's that girl... sure hope a fight won't break out |
 |
| It was all going so well, but it looks like things might hit the fan in the next episode judging by how Shima mom and whatsherface reacted to seeing each other. Something happened between the two, I know it! Really hope things work out for Shima though, this was such a sweet and wholesome episode! ;_; |
 |
| Skip to loafer Tuesday.. only one more left 😩 Really good episode as usual. The sound of music play ripoff went well and the cultural festival was a success. Got to see Shima’s little brother and mom which was cool. But of course that bitch Ririka is here. She’s so annoying and toxic. Hopefully his mom calls her out, but even she looked shocked with that cliffhanger. Not ready for this to end next week |
 |
| I really loved seeing the Family Singers play out. Some things really standout more in anime than manga so hopefully next episode will too. I also wanted Sousuke and Keiri to just have a stare off for the rest of the episode. |

| 10 hours of studying to get on to the council really was impressive. Its must hurt though for Takamine not being the prez after putting in so much work. Its nice that the class play went off without a hitch. Pretty catchy song too. Poor Yuzu though being hit on that much by people who completly ignored her hard work. Makoto stepping up to help Yuzu though was a nice gesture. Hard to believe half a year has passed already though. Shima's younger bro sure had a cute intro into the narrative. The play put up by the drama club though was pretty unique for a high school production anyway. Looks like Keiri kept it together until Shima made it bless him. While it looks like the Shima family is rather complicated looks like that's gonna change. Though looks like storm clouds are brewing in the horizon. |

| Holy shit! Keiri handled situation like a total pro by not panicking and going to target destination, which he knew for a fact is safe and that his mother will end up there eventually. Wise beyond his years! Attaboy! |
 |
| The cultural festival is in full swing, but the student council has to be accountable for people like President Kazakami while Secretary Takamine runs everything behind the scenes. Shima and Mitsumi's class performing The Sound of Music The Family Singers and other plays like it, it enamors the audience. Even peeps like Mika's old friends and others having friends from middle school, Mitsumi is a rare case. Yuzukbeing popular in her art that has guys hitting on her instead of appreciating her art, she's definitely placing priority in the right place, where Makoto is free to tell of her friends, after learning from the former about speaking up. It doesn't feel long, just 6 months long, but the girls have developed quite the friendship clique. But there is one about to foil the plans: Ririka, on the school's 2nd and final day. Kanechika thinking that he can fool Shima with his 70s discotheque cosplay, and while he didn't, at least he convinces the latter somewhat. Shima's 3-year-old lil' bro Keiri comes towards Mitsumi's class, and everyone is in an uproar to find his mother quick. And while Kanechika proves his worth somewhat, Keiri is priority, and none other than Mukai understands his situation the most. His mother however, chances upon Takamine-senpai and Mitsumi finding Keiri, and he's safe and sound within her class. Finding the older brother though, Keiri bawls in front of Shima, nevertheless being different from how he is in class, and everyone gets to see his familial side. The problem though...is Shima's mother and Ririka's coincidental meet, and this feud is going to get ugly for the finale next week. |
 |
| Shima's kun little brother is so cute, I really didn't expect that Okay so on the next episode looks like things are gonna get a bit hairy |
| lil bro was adorable Ririka and mom catfight incoming? |
| Not that red haired girl. |
 |
| Mitsumi helping with the festival. Mitsumi feeling out of place since her friends are not in Tokyo, hang in there girl. Shima and the others doing their play which was great to see, they did well. Damn i feel bad for Yuzuki since that's the 5th guy that hit on her, but no one acknowledges her painting that she created. Makoto on the other hand appreciates the artwork with her friends from middle school. That dumb red haired beach Ririka is coming to the festival. The mother and little brother of Shima are attending the festival. Narumi did his part of the play and actually nailed it. The little brother got lost but he wandered by himself to the classroom, he's cute. Wholesome moment between the little brother and Shima. The mother is relieved to meet up with her son but when she is finally up the stairs, she comes across Ririka. Ririka better not touch Mitsumi, I swear.  |
  |
| Makoto tried to better than her past self, great. I was really anticipating this encounter. Aahh, the finale can't come soon enough. I'm sure it will be something else. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I admire Yuzuki's passion for making a painting that nice looking, although I can't blame her for feeling frustrated that she keeps getting hit on by people who're more interested in her than the painting that she made. Still, seeing Makoto going out of her way to show her middle school friends the paintings and praising Yuzuki's talents did make her smile, which was a really sweet moment. =) We also get to see Shima's little stepbrother, Keiri, who was here alongside his mother before he wandered off and got lost. You have to admire him for keeping his emotions in full control while surrounded by people that he doesn't know and when he's reunited with his older brother, he finally unleashes the waterworks, bless him. It was a nice bonding moment between the two of them, which I really liked. However, the episode did have to end on a tense cliffhanger as Mitsumi, who was guiding Shima's mother, encountered Ririka in the hallway. With only one episode left, I can only hope that Ririka doesn't stoke up too much drama and mellows out if she sees the class play that Mitsumi's class is doing. |
| The cultural festival is here, and it was a very fun and a wonderful place to make some good memories and show off some talents. I loved Yuzuki's scene in the art room, where we get to see more wonderful nuanced characterization with her and Makoto. Many people want attention, but some people don't realize that she wanted genuine feedback on her art piece, and not on her as a person or her looks combined with some superficial comment about them, which got her disappointed. Then, Makoto steps in, with churros, and some of her old friends. Makoto and Yuzuki's dynamic together as friends has been a joy to watch, as both sides genuinely want to be friends, but they come from completely different walks of life. Nice to see them bridging the gap in such a fulfilling way. Meanwhile, Sousuke is still a bit down, but he still did a nice job on the play, and also watched Kanechika's drama as well. At this point, he just seems so disconnected from everyone else, but the more pressing issue at hand was his little brother Keiri was lost, and his mom was trying to find him. From all that though, we get to learn a bit more about Sousuke, and his family issues, along with how he coped with the whole scandal with Ririka, and that was, to drown himself in the world of academia. That's certainly one way to escape your problems, and some people definitely do that in the real world. In the end, Ririka and Sousuke's mother cross paths, and as I expected, they're shocked to see each other. I do hope we get some closure on the whole situation, and get some more clarity on Ririka's character. Should be a very interesting finale. |
| Ahha Shima's brother is cute, he was so relived when he saw him :3 That end though... it's gonna be tough with Ririka |
 |
| Yeah the look that Sousuke's mom gave to Ririka (like what the heck are you doing here?!) gives a negative vibe. I think we'll get to the bottom of what happened in the finale but regarding the mom I think it probably ended Sousuke's acting career and that was one thing that had made her happy. Besides that the festival went on pretty smoothly and while Mitsumi feels alone at times she still has some good friends, and she also keeps herself busy. |
| Such a nice school festival we have here, the play looks like it’s going smoothly so far, of course there’s the issue of Shima’s mom and that red haired she-devil but it’s been chill up to this point lol. And Shima’s brother was honestly adorable lol, kinda reminded me of Seita from Kubo-San which airs this same day, he was Tuesday chilling until Shima showed up and then the waterworks started lol, but I was really happy to see our boy pick him up after that, that was really sweet. I also loved that bit in the art club, seeing Murashige and Kurume’s friendship is just so damn nice, the way Kurume kinda gassed Murashige up for her friends was great lol. And I’m so sad we have one episode left, it’s been a damn good show, damn good. |
| Problematic girl is here again. I kinda wish she didn't have airtime in the last episode but she'll have some. |
| Aw man, it seems we'll have a big drama next week. Just one more episode, I'll miss this anime so much. :( |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
| It was nice watching these kids just enjoy themselves at the school festival. We also got a bit more characterization for a couple of the side characters. Anyways, looks like this finale is gonna have some THICK drama. |
| Finally the Bunkasai episode we waiting for. Ririka is just a bad vibes, i swear. That cliffhanger though, dramatic finale incoming... |
 |
| nice smooth episode right before and episode i assume will have lots of intense emotions, both good and bad. keiri was precious, and seeing the gears turn in shima's head when he realized him and his brother are alike was cute. was actually worried his mom would be awful to his classmates though, so im relieved she wasn't. really don't like the feeling i got seeing ririka bump into mitsumi and shima's mom in the hallway. i just feel like so much shit is going to go down next episode involving her now. i really hate her. can't believe next week is the last episode. ill be hoping for a season 2, but will definitely have to pick up the manga when this season ends |
My 2023 candies:      |
| They make a good job with this Ririka, I mean, we all hate her and still means something good for the show. |

| I also want this kind of friends group where friendship isn't for selfies reasons or just to use other freind. |
| kieri really was a chatterbox, full 180 when shima turned up lmao. poor mitsumi, who had to do all that running. this ririka chick is annoying to even look at but it seems there's beef between her and shima's mom. |
