This was a great episode. I enjoying all of the couples progress, especially Kazuki's. Loved the continuation of the experiment. The staring was just hilarious. I'm really enjoying Futami's subtle changes. I thought this week's end would be pretty normal but then that face by Mao. I wanna see the next episode.

Yeah, I guess her conversation with Kai the other day left some marks. All other relationships are progressing nicely and I can't wait for Kazuki to crack Eriko's shell. She's my fave so far for some strange reason.

I couldn't have said it better. I wasn't expecting that look from her...

I dont think so... hope not, as i would like to see each of them in their own relationships.
I liked how Kazuki's ''relationship'' if you can call it that, is turning out, its weird and funny at the same time.
One thing i noticed, Futami did not give in a blank paper for the tests this time, she actually answered it, after she was asked from Kazuki what she was going to do!
Futami is nice, i wanna see progress there!
At least Kazuki is no longer taking everything half-heartily :P

EDIT: forgot to mention: why do you think Mao acted that way in the end? it was henna!!!

Isn't that obvious? All the relationships around her are progressing nicely and she -who's always asked to help with love problems- had a rather unpleasant conversation with Kai. It may not look like a big deal but in the beginning of a relationship all those little things matter. That's how I see it.

Its not such a big problem, Mao and Kai's relationship is going very good.
He might have been annoyed at that, but it's not something anyone sticks to in the end.
Their relationship is blooming, a few bumps always occur, but they are small!

Another decent episode. The only problem is that how come Mitsuki does't appear on the show that much. I think her screen time probably less than a minute for the past six episodes. I hope she will fit in one of the love-triangle to make this series more exciting.

I second that! I really do hope each main character has their own love relationship, cause i dont want Mao to end up with Kazuki. IIIIEEE! >_<
But anyway thats what i thought. Mao's face was because of what Kai said. I will not give up hope! Mao x Kai banzai!

Mao x Kouichi. No other relationships matter in this anime. Sorry.

Kai can die. I'm with Ishitori on that. Mao x Kai should never happen, they just need to drop it immediately.

I have to say that I really hope that it doesn't end up a love triangle between mao x kouchi x hoshino 'cause I really like the Houshino x Kouchi and the Mao x Kai releationships.
Else.. I think his was a decent episode too, but the frogs are kinda starting to annoy me a bit...
And I can't wait for what's going to happen between Kazuki x Futami :)

Err, this is contrary to alot of opinions but...will something please HAPPEN? I mean, really, the only relationship that's gotten far is between those friggin frogs. Kouchi x Hoshino are moving at a snail's pace. >_> I can't really imagine Futami returning Kazuki's feelings, and I think Kazuki is too occupied with Futami to notice Sakino (at least any time soon). And Kai x Mao...I mean seriously, she opts not to study with him because he doesn't really care about school, and he gets all offended. Laym.
That's not to say that Mao's jealous look at the end and Kazuki trying to talk more to Futami doesn't give me hope. And I still enjoy the series. It's just...by now, I've been expecting the relationships to develop more quickly.

dont know why i didnt start this series as it came out, but all the better, still have quite a few episodes to watch without annoying weeks of waiting xD
really liked this episode, but i concur with some of the above when it comes to mao x kouichi, i would't like that, because either mao or hoshino would end up sad and i like them both <.<

After the past few episodes my picture of Mao remains as the older sister. Unless it's giving advice, she needs to stay out of the whole Koichi x Hoshino affair. If the writers of the show want to bring contention into their relationship I just hope it doesn't involve Mao.

Kazuki's relationship I don't care much for because of his fixation on the character I've grown to dislike, Futami. It seems like an incredibly long shot but I'm rooting for Sakino to somehow win Kazuki over. I have my doubts but there's always a glimmer of hope I guess.

I can't say I have a glowing impression of Kei but unless they introduce someone new soon, he's the best bet for Mao.

Futami is probably my least favourite character in this series so far, she's way too cold.

I'm for a Koichi x Hoshino and Mao x Kei coupling. I wouldn't be too happy if Mao were to win Koichi over. While I like both characters, I just happen to like Hoshino more.

Futami and Kai are freaking stone walls, Kinda dislike Futami. I hoping for a Mao x Koichi ending, maybe Futami and Kai can hook up instead? (would be hilarious) not sure about Hoshino though, shes a good girl but watching Koichi and Hoshino constantly be blushing whenever they say hi to each other is getting old really fast, they'll be middle aged before they actually hook up =/

Loved the episode, but that last look of Mao really threw me, i thought everything was going so well!

Really hoping that it was upset over the 'conversation' with Kai, or sadness that everyone seems to be moving on and shes not as included as she wants to be, rather than jealousy, as I'm really liking Hoshino. :(

Mao and Kouichi? Well, yes, maybe, but something still feels off. I mean why did she help him have the courage to talk with Yuumi?
I actually like Yuumi. You can call her the typical anime girl, cute and considerate, kinda shy and not slacking off at school. But she and kouichi makes such a cute couple!
And Mao and Kai are good together, if only he would be more open with her.

Fantastic episode, and great ending to the first arc!

I for one didn't feel like Mao's look was of jealousy. To me it looked more like a "proud, big sister look".
Idk, maybe I'll go back and watch it again...

I am also on the KoichixHoshino train. I like MaoxKai.

I guess I'm the only one in saying I think Futami is great, she's one of my favorite characters.
I don't think she's cold, she's just outcast because she's a genius and doesn't cater her genius to commoners. I think KazukixFutmai is great, but I have to agree I wouldn't be too upset about KazukixSakino.

Loving this show! (And, I think the frog sisters are lol!!!)

Some slight development, seems the pace of the development slowed down by a lot... not sure what this will lead to but currently gives off a rather boring effect of it being so slow...

Although the relations are still getting stronger by the episode and it seems to go into a good direction for all of them! I wonder what's next! The ending was nice to see they got some decent grades although the look on Mao was rather interesting, could this lead to a love triangle?

From the previous episode , Love has variance . "Fated, Forbidden & Mistaken".
Looks like i'm starting to see the 'bright side' on this high-school romance .
When you put all your efforts and an uncalled event end it . How unfortunate ~ .
That's a pretty roundabout method indeed ~ . Though , Its different from others .
Great episode . And the expressions , I like ~ .

If I were Futami's subject, I'd give her a tachycardia she'll never forget! I became an expert kisser in just a few minutes of my first time doing it. I've seen plenty of porn, hentai, and romance stories by that time. Haha

I wish I have an IQ of 190. I took for granted studying both in high school and college, and I'm not even sure how I graduated. I think my IQ is around 80+ Haha

Futami is such a challenging girl. You always need to be in the offense to keep up with her.
