Very nice episode
I especially liked the animation at the point Mikoto realized her senpai had a girlfriend.

How nice, anyway Harima was funny.

Plus it was a nice bit of animation when Mikoto found out.

...yet nothing is resolved regarding Harima...Tenma's relationship status hasn't moved at all. I have been liking the character building stuff though.

I wonder if Mikoto's tutor will come back into play later on?
At any rate, funny stuff with Harima, as expected. Wonder if he'll be able to break into the manga industry this time? =]

I doubt it since they didn't even show the guy's eyes.

Also super predictability with the girlfriend thing.
I still love this show though.

Hey, Hanai looks really good without his glasses! And yeah, it was pretty predictable that Kouzu had a girlfriend... Poor Mikoto. :\ And poor Harima for always landing up in misunderstandings!

I like all the character building... but it's taking me a while to like Eri... Maybe just 'cause I can't relate to her that much. DX Does Tenma get any character building? I don't want to think that she's just the stupidly happy-go-lucky one... (Though she does make everyone feel better... There must be more to her, no? Bahh.)

Same deal with Eri, she's not really my type... Definitely felt bad for Mikoto though, loving this character development!

Still, Yakumo <3
Don't forget.
Always, somewhere,
someone is fighting for you.
As long as you remember her,
you are not alone.

I'm beginning to think everything around Harima and Tenma is all about misunderstandings :D

I'm glad Eri and Mikoto get/fix up together.
There is like 2 weeks delay in my recent reading list
I randomly bought discount/second hand manga with cute/mysterious cover.

So many misunderstandings around Harima, even when he tries to explain.
Please don't feed the trolls!

Harima and Hanai: Passionate idiots.

The Mikoto scene is really good in retrospect (the animation) and seeing the issue cleared up is nice. No need to drag it out.

Ohhhh Eri, you're so immature... Or insecure. Probably both.
Oh well, frienship → saved. Misunderstanding → still hanging. In fact, it look like it get worse next episode :D

The end of Mikoto love story was pretty sad. But too predictable. The senpai that suddenly go to university and reunite years later? Yeah, that's having a bit too much delusions.

Loved Harima reaction when he saw Eri : ''Shit, she want my drawings... RUNN!!!''. You're so retarded xD

More misunderstandings! Poor Harima.

I knew that Suou's tutor was going to have a girlfriend. I was just waiting for it to happen and bam! It happens. Poor Suou. Glad Eri was ther to comfort her. Looks like they're friends again. Cool.

Harima and Hanai forgot why they were fighting. lol

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

As I thought, Mikoto's love interest didn't really get a big role. Which means she's free now to search for someone new, wonder who it will be? Hanai? The "D-cup" guy? xD

My favorite part of the anime was the last line from Hanai + Harima, reflecting both their fight and Eri + Sou's fight.

It was really nice to get some of Eri and Mikoto's backstory. I like the school uniform from her freshman year at a different highschool. The fireworks were very pretty. Next episode looks especially entertaining.

Harima is easily the most consistently funny character, even when he doesn't play a particularly major part in an episode like this one. I'm glad Eri and Mikoto's friendship has been saved, but man I felt bad for Mikoto. D;

jesus christ, Hanai... don't you trust Mikoto's fighting skills, did you really need to jump to that extreme conclusion?

"He's coming back". Yes. It happened later than expected, honestly. Didn't remember, instead, how their first social moments were messy. Oh, well, whatever, it was a doomed situation to begin with, and by the way, Mikoto is so much more attractive than his new gf. But... come on, every business / building etc. etc. is called Yagami in this city? Does Light exist in the same universe and took over the world giving everything his last name?

Ok, at least they made up. Unlike Hanai and Harima... they're still fighting? In that far place from where their rumble began?

The constant events of misunderstanding are so hilarious! One thing led to another, and eventually, Hanai & Hirama randomly fought! Haha
I was wrong. Mikoto's college boy does exist.
I wonder why Mikoto and Eri wanted to talk to Hirama. Hopefully, it will lead to an interesting turn of events.
I want to lick Eri's sweaty armpits!

God it's kind of a slow progession for both Tenma and Harima to develop as characters but the main thing is we get to see some development with Mikoto and Eri and we got to see that the former had a tutor that she personally fancied but she ultimately found out the hard way that her tutor in question already have a girlfriend. Poor Mikoto, there was some nice animation when she found out this revelation at the restaurant. Glad to see that both Mikoto and Eri buried the hatchet as it were and managed to the fireworks with Tenma and the others. Also got treated to Harima fighting with Hanai but then they forgot why they were fighting at the end. XD
