Oh boy, one of the guys returns this episode. I remember him when he talked to Maki in one of the earlier episodes. I found their reunion to be rather awkward.

I can't help but laugh @ Maki's so called operations though, ahahaha. This show is hilarious.

Maki's attitude towards Yan is both hilarious and cute, poor guy, he has no idea what he's doing wrong.

It's a shame the series is almost over, I've had a good laugh every episode so far.

Riko and Satoshi's interactions were hilarious XD...Those two r really made for each other XD

Maki's sister seeing her notes and her reaction XD

Yan misunderstanding and calling Maki Natsuo and Maki's reaction was soooo cute <3
Saying he stole her first hahaha...poor Yan XD

Maki's Engrish...Goodbye pure girl memory XD

Evil Maki looked so cool! XD

Well I'm guessing we might have some drama soon since Riko will need to tell the truth soon :(

Another interaction between Riko and Satoshi, but with a love-hate argument. However I'm still rooting for them to be together. Maki took the spotlight in this episode showing her bizarre strategy on how to attract boy, as well as meeting Yan, though a misunderstanding in the end XD. Maki having that scary aura was funny.

Onward to the last episode.

This show has been good at changing the pace of the humor, this is why every episode seems so fresh. Someone last week said that they wished the entire series had been more episodic as the last episode was, that misses the point: last episodic nature last week was better because they haven't used it as a style before. This episode they used expected drama to good effect for humor.

From start through 11 every episode of this series has been a riot for this reason. They don't run a joke into the ground.

Maki being so sad at the fact the Jan mentioning her first name, and Jan not realising what he is doing wrong that guy is pretty inconsiderate he should have had a clue in someway.

The dad of Maki being surprised that her older sister was familiar with the real world was pretty much is own fault, he can try to protect them from the world but they will go find out for themselves if they really want to.
Being overprotective can have a negative effect.

I'm guessing Commie really screwed over that scene, because Maki was so inarticulate in her spastic state that the only thing Yan could hear was 'honorific' so he thought it was the honorific that bothered Maki. Commie erases any mention of honorifics so I can only imagine what sort of nightmare it was (for both them and the viewer) to follow the scenes regarding Maki being called by her first name.

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Maki is super creative as always, it was hilarious seeing her interact with Yan again. I wonder how much longer Riko can keep up her popularity ruse. Only two episodes left, crossing my fingers for season 2 :x. Personally I want to see how Enomoto interacts with boys, I have a feeling that would be a hoot too.

Same here.

This series simply has its best moments, when the focus is on Riko and Maki especially when they interact with eachother. Don't know why but I'm not really feeling any of the other girl characters.

Damn, Satoshi x Riko scenes, and their fight! Now that's what I call an OTP! Riko getting jealous xD

Maki's sister read her plan xD XD XD

"Fish near the school" XD XD Good for her, but her prince xD

Yes, Jan x Maki! I loooove this anime so much xD

"Goodbye, pure girl memory." OMG XD XD XD

When all of them imitated Enoshima, and later that poor Huggy xD That photo, and Sayo's reactions were so... LOL

Such a cliffhanger... This show is drawing me insane every week, it's so hilarious! Probably the funniest ever.

I really want Riko to clear the misunderstading by the end. As interesting as it is, it is going a little too overboard. She should stop lying already, they will accept her right away coz all of them are her true friends.

This series gets twice as good/comedic when they have the guys in it, I must say so myself. It's still a really good series otherwise, but I just cannot forget those great scenes with Yan (I feel sorry for the guy/victim) xD

Agreed with both of you. Anyways, the show would've much better with just Riko and Maki and possibly more screen time from Yan and Nagi.

Maki losing it when confronted with her nemesis in the cram school is gold humor !! And it is great to see Maki's elder sister (who would not appear with her face shown until much later in manga) !! The interaction between her and her father about Maki's romance imagination run wild is another highlight of the episode.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Lol at Maki's sister and father.

Hooray, Yan and Nagi are back! (^_^)
No, Yan, don't make weird misunderstandings!
No, Nagi, don't fall for Maki!

Favorite quotes from this episode:
"Yan-san stole another one of my firsts."
"Princess Fuji is so beautiful, she even controls natural phenomenon."
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

Maki's by far the funniest of the characters in this show. Keep the spotlight on her the Wild Kid and their interactions with the boys, that's when this anime is at it's best.

Lol. Just start dating each other already.

Flying cows and houses but she only cares about the lack of honorific? Yup, sounds like Maki.

Poor dad, you should have introduced your daughter to the wonders of Mahjong if you wanted her to stay pure.

A subpar episode, but Riko, Sayo and Natsuo's dad salvaged what they could 3/5.

This series is at its best when they are talking about renai methods like this, good episode (those where they were dealing with other council things were not so good). The best scenes are those where they get their interactions with boys like at cram school this time.

I wonder whether Riko tells others that she was lying all the way from the start cause it would be really big deal.
