I'm with all of you on the animation. It caught me off guard O.o but hey appreciated nonetheless. I feel like this anime has def lost its appeal for me :/ Maybe the actual confrontation will bring it all together.

Strange bout of multiple confessions.
It goes from serious to comedic pretty fast.

A lot of amazingly good character reaction and action sakuga. Running outside to relieve tension -- just reminds me of Oreshura lol Love how the show chooses to end the series by going back to the starting point, as well as the most important issue hanging between Riko and Maki, which is how Riko lied to Maki about her love history and dug herself deeper and deeper into a hole. The reactions by all the different characters from Yan down to Sayo about this issue are interesting to see too. Look forward to see how it unwinds in the final episode next week!
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.

the bad thing about lying Riko, is that eventually it all comes back to haunt you. Luckily for you Maki is an incredibly sweet girl and will probably forgive you.

I think Yan is a lot more interesting than the guy who's Riko's love interest.

I think Maki heard her. But I'm thinking more of who will really suit for Maki and Riko.. Yan and Riko looks cute together. Nagi and Roki too looks cute together. XD

To be honest though, Riko is so much like your average harem protagonist that gets stringed along by the whims of another girl. Even the misunderstandings and her attitude are so similar to a typical male harem MC, she should totally just give in and give us the yuri.


this one XD

So good! That lovely animation comes back again, the boys make another appearance and there's more focus on Riko and Maki's relationship. Loved this ep.

Glorious episode.
Someday I will slap someone with a paper fan when I meet them in the hall way. xD
One more episode eh, I'm going to miss this show.
As others have pointed out, Maki is more afraid of the fact that Riko might only be pretending to be her friend as well as putting on an act.

It's not over yet, and Riko isn't off the hook yet. If I have read the tea leaves properly, be prepared for one big plot twist at the end. The stars, in this case characters, are all aligned: combination of wanting to believe, some redemption, some not willing to hurt, intense feelings from the public, and the fact all along that Riko hasn't technically been lying, she just thinks she has.....

Yeah it's obvious that Maki knows. She's a smart-ass after all...she just likes to act like that. But well, we'll see what happens next week.

The animation in this episode was way better than usual. It's really hard to believe that this episode was 22 minutes long. It actually felt like 5 minutes.

What started out as a small little lie, has gotten me so close to the screen, like I inch up to the screen, right to the screen where I can almost LICK it, whenever she's about to spill the truth. But then she doesn't.

The scenes with the boys are always refreshing.

Didn't notice the animation since I don't pay attention to these stuff so I went back to check and it was pretty fluid indeed. Though I noticed in the last scene Maki's hair magically grew longer due to my attention to the animation LOL

About time Maki found out...

What a waste that it's not yuri...the chemistry between Riko and Natsuo...so much potential down the drain.

Bit too much melodrama for my taste (for Heaven's sake just come clean already Riko, you are one of the best girls these season but I seriously want you to be slapped with a harisen), but there were funny bits. 4/5.

Goddamnit, why can't Riko and Maki be gay for each other? This could have been the most perfect yuri. ;_;

Really good episode though, minus the bits where the mood would whiplash from humorous to serious and back again. Tone shifts need to be treated delicately.

I know that this was going to happen but oh well, I think that it will be resolved quickly ( I hope so ) and we will have a happy ending ^^

I don't feel like finishing this Anime today, I'll just finish this later, for now time to sleep :3

She obviously heard that. Sigh, this is why I sorta dislike Riko, even though I like her boyish personality.

I ship Maki and Nagi more than Maki and Jan/Yan. :)

Everyone is misunderstanding Yan, lol. Maki doesn't know how to react to boys. She gets all flustered. It's really cute. Riko told her the truth but then backed down! SHe defititly heard her in the end. Good episode.

5/5

A little obvious narrative in the 2nd part, the better the 1st instead.
Characters in a certain way and also Maki, are fairly consistent and not stereotypical is this makes you appreciate the anime.
The plot deals with a major problem, Yay.
Drawings and dialogues are well managed in this episode.
Ah, now missing a single episode, what a pity to finish so soon this anime.

This was a really good episode! I do love the bond that Riko and Maki have shared over the time that Riko first joined the student council and created the Love Lab report with Suzu, Eno, and Sayo so far. I do feel really sorry for Riko as
It could end either way on a good or bad note so I'm definitely looking forward to see how this will all end in the last episode!

I really can say I have enjoyed this series a lot with the awesome comedy as well as the drama too. The characters are very enjoyable and every moment with them makes me put a smile on my face as it has been an interesting ride.

The way they keep changing topic in between the comedic into drama thing in this show really smooth. I can't help but feel bad to Riko. After long fuckin run, she still can't talk the truth. Poor for her relationship. I just can't understand, the guy here was fucking hilarious, and can't even read the situations. And that Miko in the end, damn, blessed the last episode.

Genres contribution so far :

comedy: 30%
schooler drama: 45%
romance (minor): 10%
SoL (sadly, major cons) : 15%

Its sad. The storyline get stucked. It seems the last story resolving Riko and Maki relationship. Not gonna end up some good romance between both of them or pairing into others two guys. And the rest? Just randomly souring their daily as a mid schooler. A bit dissapointed. But, Idk. The last scenes must do something more catchy and a heart-warming session as a closing. Or else, this show can't go far more than 7. Thats it.
