| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Series is almost over... I wonder how things will turn out. |
| Aww the sweaterrrr <33 ....and she appears... what's going to happen!? |
  |
| i think the co-worker reacted like any other person would who was just an outsider and didn't know anything more.... Think thats what the show does so brilliantly, its showing that its just pure love they have for each other, and they ache when there apart its so sad :( but compelling all the same! The last bit was certainly a cliffhanger...... |
| Chidori would be one badass friend to have. |
| Oh snap! |

Velveteen said: The confrontation between Koshiro and Chidori was intense. I loved that scene, but I can't help but disagree with everyone on the fact that she is right and badass and all that. Them two seem to be pretty close friends, going out drinking and her sleeping over and stuff (she might even have some attraction?) but honestly friends should always be there when you're down. If I had a friend going through what Koshiro was going through now, I wouldn't look down on him because of the taboo, I would be there for him and try to help him out any way I can, but yeah that's just my thoughts. That aside, great scene and overall great episode. Sinonis said: Close friends,childhood friends,... they will always see you down for things like this.. Stupid koshiro react so seriously Regardless of how close you are, if you consider yourself someone's friend, you need to be able to criticize them when they need it. A bad friend would accept Koshiro's fascination with his sister and encourage him to go after her. A good friend would tell him how wrong it is (like Chidori, except not as extreme), and then help him deal with the problem and turn himself around. So Chidori was somewhere between those two. |

The last bit was certainly a cliffhanger...... I definitely think they got Chidori's reaction spot on. I imagine the average person would have said the same things or even broken off ties or condemned Koshiro for it. I also think this series really does a great job at conveying how despite taboos, people are going to follow their hearts (although that's not to say allow anything that's done in the name of love). |

| This episode was soo great, yet it was so painful to watch |
| Dat ending <3 really wonderful development and man the part where they got all serious was pretty interesting too, I do think her role has finished in this story so let's see what happens next! |
 |
| 1. kaname was able to figure out the sis perversion without koshiro saying a word. clever. 2. i thought he fapped in his bed even more when the tissue paper was shown in the garbage. |

| Very strong post by Ichigo, I agree with nearly everything. This is a heart wrenching episode, which excels in its realistic portrayal and conveying the raw emotion felt by the protagonists and the "villain". Note that i'm a fan of Chidori's Seiyu, who does wonderful work as Nami from One Piece. Imo Chidori does a good job connecting the dots, and ofcourse Toshiro's denials and silences did more to affirm her speculation than outright admitting to her banter, which perhaps she would just shrug off as a joke. While her words and actions were harsh, they were not overtly malicious and they were meant as directional input, if done crudely. Based on the final scenes back at the office we see that she is not trying to smear his character to oblivion and ruin his life. Imo she is a friend at this point in their acquaintanceship, although she is his direct superior i believe. Could she have done a better job with giving him direction? Sure, absolutely. Is her attack unrealistic and shallow? No, she does a reasonable job due to the abruptness of the confrontation and the emotions racing wildly in the atmosphere. Is she Manami 2.0 from OreImo, with all the evilness that title implies? Absolutely not. Barring some catastrophic drop of quality in the final episodes, this is Better than OreImo by a hefty margin in terms of the sibling relationship and psychological/emotional impact, and i gave OreImo as a whole a 10.. In short this is nothing short of a masterpiece, with its only "flaw" being outdated and low tier graphics/art. However even that is not a gripe of mine since its reminiscent of the Strongest of Anime, namely NHK, both in art style and an accurate portrayal of societal pressure and loneliness. |

| I actually liked that epiosde. It shows how confused and anti-social the main protagonist truely is. Being sexually attracted to little kids (in this case a little girl) aka pedophilia is a mental sickness found mostly by anti-social and lonely person. There are many reasons pedophila can occur. Often it comes also because of unpleasend relationships with partner of the same age, which occured to the main protagonist. But normally being rejected by an attracted person is ment by unpleasend relationships, so a normal relationship, how it is described the main protagonist had in his past, would be a very unrealistic cause for his pedophilic sickness. I didnt like how the show represented their pedophilic main protagonist as a normal guy with a normal relationship in his past, since it supports the idea that pedophiles are just normal people.. you cant be more away from truth. But like i said this particular went a little bit into his sickness, even though the show itself focuses more around the incest instead of the pedophilia, since they excuse it with her being 15 even though through her avarage body height, her behaviour and her overall looks she very much resembles a girl under the age of 12. The incest was in my opinion not the problem, since they didnt grew up together the Werstermark-effect(the effect that desribes that siblings that grew up together in a household wont find each other attractive later on, which is past down in mankind to prevent too much incest from happening, since incest isnt really beneficial to sociaty) cant come into account. |
| Nice episode, didn't really expect Chidori to actually deduce it's so easily. Somehow I really felt she was right talking him down, which is not something i usually feel. |
 |
| that coworker was pretty harsh, but it was very realistic. it's not like she's going to approve. and they finally meet again... |
| Chidori's outburst was spot on, probably the most realistic reaction I could imagine from confident, mature woman learning that her co-worker is attracted (and possibly did something bad) to his little sister. The best and harshest episode yet, and there are still two more left, ugh! |
  |
| Finally, Koushirou's brain melts. |
 |
| They met up again! Im excited to see what happens between them now |
 |
| I think Chidori (co worker) got a natural reaction as a human. And the words she said are the words that a lot of us will think if this will happen in reality so I don't blame her. |
  ★━━─ 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵? 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘥𝘢𝘺? |
| Koushiro is already plenty self-loathing and in a poor state of mind when Chidori lambasts him for his thoughts, like a wild dog finding a wildebeest stuck in the mud. She first grabs his collar to catch him off guard after a seemingly calm observation, followed up with a quick barrage of insults and appeals to normality to put him down even further. I think she perceived that he wouldn't argue back or verbally spar with her, so he was easy pickings. A decidedly ruthless, methodical approach to breaking down his emotional stability in that moment. It's likely that Koushiro didn't expect it since her previous appearances have had her use his relationship with Nanoka for harmless raillery. I think Koi Kaze provides a lesson here, in that you should never preclude the possibility of your friends turning on you when you diverge from what they approve of. "Preparedness" seems like the key word here. |
