so etoile finally made her move
semi rape-ers are usually former semi rape-ees
so that flashback during the scene kinda makes some sense.

also. lol @ amane being called a prince.

Well this was an entertaining episode. I thought it was cute during the fireworks and then what everyone is referring to as the rape scene was very interesting, makes me wonder how they are going to turn out.

So I just finished this episode. Very interesting. I was happy to see Etoile made a move at last. And I wouldn't really call it a rape scene because honestly Nagisa wasn't really resisting at all.

Finally. The first kiss and an 'almost rape' scene... well didn't expect the 2nd one, not this soon at least.
I guess the girl was a lover of Shizuma and probably left her/died.
I felt sorry for Tamao, I kind of ship her and Nagisa more than ShizumaxNagisa. Let's see what comes next, maybe it will change.

Awesome episode! Beautiful first kiss (FINALLY, geez) IN the pool out of all places. Awesome. I wonder who that (probably) dead girl was.

And poor girls, their summer vacation is only a month long? :(

YES YES OH GOD YES! THEY FINALLY KISSED!! my heart is pounding! It was in a pool but a kiss is a kiss damn. That girl is someone who Etoile/ Shizuma must've been in love with.. I don't think that she wants to repeat the same mistake by having Nagisa leave her. Which is understandable.

Nagisa, you should've just let Shizuma finish what she started. we all know you want her just as much as she wants you.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised - I figured there'd be at least another 2-3 eps of teasing before we got that, including at least one more where they hardly saw each-other.

...But then again, I have this suspicion that Shizuma will be keeping to herself the next little while out of guilt/fear. OTOH, there's like a month's worth of timeskip between this ep and the next so that may just end up as part of the setup for the next. Hard to say.

...Wasn't that Miyuki? I swear I remember there being something about the two of them having been an item at one point, especially since they've been roomies all this time. And if it was, I have this feeling that Miyuki boned things up (or at least feels like she did) by pushing Shizuma away at the wrong time, and has since realized she made a huge mistake...but if it wasn't her, then it's also possible that she got stolen away by circumstance (like Miyuki's about to be) or even had a fatal accident.

Uncertainty and worry coming out of the piano...not a good look for you, Shizuma. Poor thing's prob'ly missing what she used to have so badly that, now that she sees another chance at it, there's no such thing as even moving fast enough, let alone too fast. But slow down, sweetheart; you're dealing with someone who's still new to the idea and I think seems to be suffering a form of culture-shock. Stupid Victorian-era social *trails off grumbling*...

Nagisa, you should've just let Shizuma finish what she started. we all know you want her just as much as she wants you.
LOL! I had kind of a forlorn hope they'd be showering together~

...Can I ship Tamao/Miyuki? I mean, is that okay? >.> <.<

Shizuma has experience, already going for the good stuff. So from the flashback scene I assume Shizuma ended in bad terms with that person which is why she held back afterward. And, of all the places to kiss, Shizuma chose a pool. Well I guess Nagisa can say her kiss was a wet one lol

I'm hoping Tamao gets shipped with Nagisa. I feel bad for Tamao, she's like the forgotten one in the show.

Finally Shizuma kissed Nagisa in the pool. So cute~

My mom was like "isn't that kind of like paedophilia? I was like, she's only 2 years older and my moms like "sooo, it is" - I dunno. I don't consider it to be, never really thought about it.

Then Shizuma was all over Nagisa and remembered some other girl saying her name, a previous lover I presume who possibly died or left.

Birds in cages, huh.. I wonder, if indeed majority of girls are like this, or Amane just met those that are.. I mean, girls from LeRim academy seem pretty easy-going.. ;p
Hm, so Shizuma and Miyuki live together in one room since first grade?.. I thought we were being teased with that one bed room as Shizuma's room previously.. Hm.. Whose room could it be then..
Out of all places they chose their first kiss to be under water.. Excuse me, what?.. It was freaking dangerous.. ;p And felt a bit silly, to be honest.. Like, how this dangerous situation could be romantic, and why the hell is melodic piano playing?.. Well, I guess, really hard to feel into situation.. But it was romantic for them, it appears..
So.. How do I feel about this bed scene.. I mean.. They both already spent more time together, and even missed each other, it's not like it would be at the beginning where it felt only rapey.. Now, I think, it would be alright really.. As they are close now.. But Shizuma has some past trauma, doing this with past girls it seems.. And Nagisa, I think, is in first love emotions.. Especially as she saw that Shizuma is hurt for some reason.. And Nagisa is just not sure, what she's doing, as it's love between girls.. So yeah.. First love with everything for Nagisa.. Will they decide for themselves they want to be with each other?.. Or will it be any other thing?.. It can develop in any way, really.. So far, it's more understandable than the very beginning it was.. Waiting for more feels or where it will take us..

I think Shizuma has been in love with the girl in the flashback, or at least I think...

Finally they kissed.

Shizuma remembered some other girl during that "rape" scene... Yeah, something sad happened with her.

I like Shizuma, but damn she needs to work on her problems. I like how much of a slow burn it's been because with a lot of romance anime they go super hard in the first 3 episodes then nothing happens for the next 9, but this one is nearly halfway, and it's set everything up so well that I can see a lot of drama unfolding in nonconfusing and natural ways.
