Eh... I'm not loving how long it's taking for Shizuku to make a damn decision, it feels like it's dragging on, and it seemed kind of abrupt when Haru just asked Yamaken if he loved Shizuku... Just because he had one of her pencils... And then Yamaken actually said he loved her. I dunno, that scene just seemed a little unrealistic to me.
Okay, people are gonna kill me for this, but I don't really care about Natsume. I honestly felt nothing during that scene with her crying and I don't care about her past.
I still did like the episode overall though! I really like Yamaken. I'm interested in seeing what happens to their love triangle. Hopefully it picks up, I was really loving this series around episode 4-5.

At least this love triangle isn't annoying, unlike Sukitte, where the antagonizing character is just a complete bitch.

D'awwwwwww, Yamaken. Poor dude ain't got a chance. And am I seeing Natsume and Mi-chan? Isn't Mi-chan like 20-something? Why can't we have Natsume and Sasayan? They're always together.

Good episode, though i still wonder where they will stop this considering the amount of episodes, them introducing Yamaken but not giving enough episodes to completely give his development...well its been great so far so i'll remain optimistic that they will pace it just fine.

'Cause he had her pen, obviously. If someone drops a pen and you pick it up, it means you're hopelessly in love with them.

This was a good episode. The only thing that bothered me was those girls going to the same place as Natsume and openly talking about her when they were just feet away from her and she allowing it to happen.

I know some anime characters have these little "sob stories" even though 99 percent of the time it isn't sad at all, just pathetic, like Natsume's. So she hangs out with mostly boys and they are pretty much being bitches about it. She needs to stop being a weak willed and weak minded and confront her. I mean seriously and now it seems like she might like that guy with the sunglasses for whatever reason now.

Haru didn't know - which is why he asked him.

He thought that it was odd since that guy followed Shizuku to that spot just to give Haru her pen to give back to her. He then asked her how he got it in the first place and had a gut feeling.

That Yamaken cared to return the pen would have been a clue, he isn't exactly the type of character that would care enough to return something like that. Plus you are forgetting the previous episodes where Yamaken and Mitty were together, Haru has been paranoid about Yamaken for quite a while, much to Mitty's annoyance.

Haru is also the type of person who would blurt out something like that, even if there really wasn't a reason to think so. Haru is pretty much a two channel person, he doesn't have much in emotional shading going on, so various stages of like aren't available to him. He doesn't really think about other people (note that he has hit Mitty twice accidentally in his selfish rages), so he would automatically be suspicious of someone who can think of someone else (like returning a pen, could you honestly see Haru doing that for a friend, being clueless he would forget).

Haru also is in many ways an animal, and when it comes to Mitty (his one connection to humanity), he acts more like a dog than a human. So Mitty being friends with ANY male would attract his jealously.

I can see how you might explain it like that, but I still think it's uncharacteristic. That he would assume so much over a returned pen? I know people tend to be master detectives in anime, but that's no excuse.

Aw, I love Yamaken.
I'm starting to like this anime more and more. A couple episodes ago, I was hating it, but I feel like there is at least a BIT of progression!
I don't know how they're gonna do it in only 4 more episodes though...
can Shizuku finally get out of her studying addiction ._.
also, tbh, I don't hate Nastume and Mitsuyoshi?
I mean, clearly he's way older but idk they just ~work to me

I don't get just one thing!
Why every shoujo romance anime are so good?why can't a shounen anime be like that?(except clannad)
A great episode as always.
The one thing i noticed that shizuku is the most dumb one there.
haru may be a one way traffic but he is still pure.
9.5/10


She's not 'dumb', she's just never seen the option of balancing BOTH. It's pretty common actually. Some people with potential decide to only go after a career and never get into a relationship and so maybe one day, when they suddenly SEE it (for whatever reason) it hits them like a shock. Having something or not having it at all is very possible mindset that some people use when dealing with people and things in their life. Also, notice what she wants to do as a job. She also works at the store. For her, she's grown up around 'money or no money', 'sales or no sales', 'supplies or no supplies', 'buy it or don't' and etc. It was always one or the other. Even if she did balance money or something, it never hit her she could do the same thing with things in her life. She never had the time to try out the concept and therefore dismissed it as something that just wouldn't work out.


Ah!ah!testing!0,1,2,3....
I think you totally misunderstood me! when i said dumb i meant dumb! i didn't mean for her life consisting of only two choices!
i meants was, shizuku doesn't want to interact with others!but when she talks to someone even coldly he or gets attracted to her!but she totally has no clue and completely oblivious to it! in this sense she dumber than haru who always a one way traffic!!!

Decent episode imo! Yamaken "is that a problem?" Too cute! Haru is such a cutie though, he's my fave but I can't help but feel bad for Yamaken. I really need a couple to start dating.. I feel like nothing has really happened since the beginning of the series. There are 4 episodes left. They need to hurry up! lol

A pretty good episode, in terms of development. Yamaken's revelation to Haru seemed a bit sudden, though. Even with their characters, Haru asking him then seemed odd.

But man...they must have really run out of their animation budget this episode. Seriously, Yamaken looked like he was melting all over the screen in some scenes.

Thanks. Will Shizuku have feelings for people other than Haru?

What about Natsume and the other guy she was having lunch with - huh, I think his name is Sasahara? Will they ever date or remain friends?

I don't like the fact that Haru is completely oblivious to things but some how knows Yamaken is in love with Shizuku just because he has her pen -_-. It's kind of annoying that sometimes Haru can be so intuitive, intelligent, and serious one second but then becomes a total ignoramus with a loose screw the next lol. He needs to man the fuk up D:

Jealousy, I guess?

Shizuku did lend it to that guy so that he could write down that stuff for her. Even if Haru didn't know that, he still knows that she trusted him enough to lend it to him. To add to things, that guy took the time to follow Shizuku to that place before giving it to Haru.

That could have been enough to raise suspicion for Haru.

To me it seems that Shizuku just need to sort her feelings out. Haru is very honest with his feelings and it is very clear that he loves Shizuku. Everytime someone get closes to Shizuku ( most often Yamaken ) Haru get's very protective, but that's not the same with Shizuku when Chizuru comes close to Haru.

Nevertheless I don't mind Yamaken ending up with Shizuku. In my ideal scenario Haru ends up with Natsume, they are my two favorite characters, but we all know that that will never happen. I think that the chances of Haru and Shizuku ending together are like 98 %. I don't think the writers have the gust to take such a huge risk, because the majority likes this couple.

Only 3 episodes left and they are at chapter 13 of the manga. Actually whole this episode was chapter 13. I love that the anime stays very close to the manga, but I'm sad that they left out some thingies.

Mi-chan and Asako would make a great couple. Mitsuyoshi is very manly, grown-up, self-confident I think he likes her. She even started to blush a litte:)

That aside, it is episode 9 already. Haru and Mitty are not moving forward!
The episode felt a bit like a filler to me.

Yamaken-kun is a great character. Isn't it a little too late for him to fall in love with Mizutani? Well, love doesn't choose the time or place or whatsoever.

poor Natsume, hope she will find someone she truly likes, maybe Mitsuyoshi? But still, despite being a supportive char, she's one of my fav char this season.

I just took a look at the manga, the anime char designs are more attractive and beautiful than the manga, and even the atmosphere is more comfortable.

I kinda hate to say this, but Shizuka looks better in her school uniform than being in regular clothes that makes her look like a grandma.

Btw, doesn't Haru know that Crayfishes hibernate during winter, so that's why he can't catch any?

This show does have a great direction. Maybe the best this season with Psycho-Pass.

Anyway, good character, great comedy, but mediocre romance at best, some relationships drag on for next to no reason (in 1 mont, Mitty hasn't thought about her relationship with Haru, how am I supposed to believe that). I don't really mind love triangles, but they are overused in this anime. I think it's still good, but it could have been way better.
