What I love most about this anime is that it's kinda realistic...in quite many points.
It presents that part of life... i'm actually considering myself lucky to watch this :)

and come on Joe, at least she's a milf, not a 70 yr old man or that old hag, lol

5/5

I feel im starting to lose interes in this anime, which is sad

knew Setsuko would end moving on from Mario, she was just "interested" in him because he looked like Sakuragi, so it wasn't fair being with him, yet she sleeps with him, okay, whatever, they both moved on so nice.

Baremoto throws his dignity away and decides to lose his virginity with a random girl, okay.

and Joe prefeers to keep being used by people, nice.

It's better that Setsuko left, because she whould have always seen An-chan in Mario.
Joe is used again, at least this woman is not too old.
Baremoto almost got raped by that old woman lol, he got a younger one in the end.

The boys are getting laid left and right now. Some of them not in the best of circumstances. Poor Joe.

Oh holy shyt thought that was the orphanage owner at the beginning but whew. Nice wingman Nomoto has there...

Dam Mario and Setsuko... glad both of them moved forward and it ended in a good way for both of them.

Feel bad for Jou... seriously he has enough and needs to get that silly logic out of his mind...

With a friend like Turtle, I guess that Uncovered doesn't need any enemies. lol But well, he did give him money so that he could sleep with the woman he chose, so it's fine. But letting their silly endeavor apart, this episode was really somber, and infuriating too.

Setsuko never forgot Sakuragi, she still loves him even now, so she can't be with Mario, it wouldn't be fair to him. Since the guy she is going to marry is nice to her, she is going to marry him, not out of love or out of her own need, but because her father pressured her into accepting it, she wanted to help her family, and it makes no difference to her. But she still gave in to temptation, and spent a night with Mario, maybe because he reminds her of Sakuragi nowadays, maybe she wasn't able to love him because of this too, but this is no more than a speculation. I'm just happy Mario did the right, and mature thing by respecting her decision, and saying goodbye with a smile. Nice to see the stage changing to Tokyo too.

But now to Joe's side of things, I thought he was working with nice people, but they were treating him as nothing more than a lowly servant, all the while looking down on him, and dying of envy too no doubt. As soon as they knew he shone on a stage in a way they could never hope to, they beat him up, and threatened him so that he would stop singing. And for good or for worse, thanks to the chance he took to be on that stage, he was approached by a perverted lady who wanted to get her way with him in exchange for making him a star. I just hope she is a 'real deal' in this industry, and he will be able to go really far with this "deal". But it's so sad, Joe and Meg are too attractive for their own good. They also don't look japanese, and Joe is talented too, he is an agglomeration of everything that people around him can hate, and there is also the stigma of being a former prisoner. Life isn't going to be easy for them, but if he can get famous, and rich with his voice, then everything could be alright, they wouldn't have to give in to the dirty desires of others just for the sake of having a chance at life, they would be able to be free, and fortunately Joe isn't alone with his friends, I can only hope things will work out for him, and his sister. I loved to see him singing though.

at least the lady seducing Joe isn't uberuggo.

sad feels about Setsuko. :'( I have a hard time accepting her story ending here. Feels painfully melancholy.

So much suffering for in this episode, especially for Joe and Mario.

Nomoto almost having sex with that hag comes close, tho and he seriously came just from looking at an ass? Back when you weren't jaded by porn..

idk in my opinion showing this short setsuko mario romance was kinda unnecessary. i mean maybe it makes sense within a big picture, for the whole plot and such, but it felt pretty shallow and came out of the blue kinda. before sakuragi died i never got any flirt vibes from mario anyway. they just appeared suddenly and then it was all "i love you" ?? weird. but i guess it doesn't matter anymore since they're seperate again. this whole pregnancy theory makes a lot of sense tho.

poor joe :(((( when that dude put the thermometer in his mouth i really freaked out. i can only hope that someday those 6 boys will finally be left alone in peace...

So Setsuko's a fucking whore. How will she know if the kid that's going to get born is Mario's or her husband's? You know since the marriage is the next day that they had sex

I feel like that Mario's actions with Setsuko should've gone with either one of two ways. Either convince Setsuko to annul the engagement that she's bound to, or respect the engagement by not screwing a woman who's going to be married to a different man the next day. It seems remarkably unethical to peruse this adulterous one night stand for two characters that I extensively liked up to this point. I guess the question remains: Who exactly is being cucked harder in this scenario? Mario for just letting the love of his life be married to a different man that Setsuko obviously doesn't seem as infatuated with, or Setsuko's now husband who had his wife screwed by a different man without his knowledge?

I’m disappointed in Setsuko’s behaviour regarding sleeping with Mario and peacing out the next day, but I guess she had no choice but to marry that guy for her family. It’s so sad that Jou’s going down that route again. I hope he realizes that that woman is most likely making empty promises. I wish he’d rely on his friends for help when he needs it instead of just surviving. That Lemon band is going to ruin him once they find out he’s still singing and he’s going to need help.
