| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yuzuyu's mum had a lot of nerve to come back like that but at the same time I think Kippei should have kept it to himself what he did was unfair to Yuzuyu. |

| What a pathetic woman. I wouldn't let her have Yuzuyu. She doesn't deserve her. |
| I think she's a good mother, if she doesn't have the strength to man up and take care of Yuzu it's better to leave her with relatives. Having her "trying" to take care of Yuzu would be a lot worse. |
| In light of her comments about worrying if she would harm Yuzuyu, I think she is totally doing the right thing. She also said she was saving money to be able to take care of Yuzuyu in the future. It isn't that she wanted to give up Yuzuyu to her family, she just couldn't think of anything else to do to take care of her child. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Heartwarming episode. |
 |
| Feel bad for the Mom, I mean she made the right choice in giving up Yuzu until she can get back on her feet but she does love Yuzu so that probably was an extremely painful choice. And to know that it would make Yuzu sad in doing so must have made it just that much harder for her. |

 |
| Painful to watch, to be sure. I already assumed Yuzuyu's mother ran away because she was scared she would not be able to take care of Yuzuyy from the earlier letter. It seems she had emotional issues already and then when her husband died she went into a deep depression. I've been in that hole several times in my life - I know what it's like trying to climb out. How Kippei handled himself in his conversation with her was fascinating - he is a contradictory mess of spoiled selfishness and aged wisdom. Interesting move on his part gambling he might catch her leaving on a train and she might catch sight of Yuzuyu. |
 |
| I can understand the mother having issues and feeling like she can't take care of her daughter. I definitely do not want to see a child stay in an abusive household just to remain with the parent. What bothers me is that she doesn't ask for help. I am sure her family would take her in and she would get help and still be able to be with her child. I don't see how being alone will help her. She needs medication and support from loved ones. Kippei is a contradiction. I like him when he is taking care of Yuzuyu, I do not like him at school. |

| I didn't get what she meant by ready. Does she mean emotionally ready or financially ready? I don't know if Yuzuyu saw her mother. It looked like she did in the slow motion, but it doesn't look like it after you see her reaction. |

Animatronix said: She is to wrecked from losing her husband and has trouble taking care of herself, never mind a small child. Also, in an earlier episode she admitted to 'hitting' Yuzu, so she's probably afraid of really hurting her.I didn't get what she meant by ready. |
|
| Oh yeah. I forgot about that part. Thank you for the reminder. I remember Kippei's mom calling her a crybaby. |
| |
| Damn what a great episode, this sure was some interesting development! The mom of Yuzuyu just visiting to see how she's doing, and then just leaving without a word... Well perhaps she just means it all right in the end, I really wonder what's next! |
 |
| In contrast to the heartwarming episode last time, this one really left a hole in the heart. I won't judge whether or not Miyako is a good mother, but the longer she takes to get her act together, the more painful she's going to make this entire situation. Parting with Kippei aside, Yuzuyu is indeed growing bit by bit. If her mom waits too long, Yuzuyu will really grow up and pass her by. |
 |
| an interesting episode i didn't think i would sympathize with her mother but i do a bit |
| I almost hated this episode, I don't get it, the mom was crazy...-_- |
| Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing! Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds. |
pinkarray said: I almost hated this episode, I don't get it, the mom was crazy...-_- Yea this episode was an all time low. The mother's motivation to completely and abruptly disappear from her daughter's life because "she was scared" that she hit her daughter ONCE. So, I mean if she admits she's mentally ill then yea, I guess I could believe it, but this reason seems so [bold]weak[/bold]. Not to mention she's trying to make "money" and it never said how except that it showed Kippei's sister in an earlier episode acting surprised when reading that letter. Vague and weak, dialogue for supporting characters such as Kokoro were also stiff and choppy. Weak: 3/5 |

I don't think the mother is at fault here at all :/ But Kippei seriously man wtf ? You take Yuzuyu and dash towards the train for what ? Let Yuzuyu see her mom or make the mom more sad by making her see Yuzuyu ? The former seems to not be the case as Yuzuyu was startled and confused by Kippei's actions and I can just see the mom crying again ;-; No ... once an adult makes up their mind you are not supposed to do that :/ Also the point of the mother making money seemed weak in my opinion, if money was the case they should have decided by doing a family meeting, well fair enough if the mom does not want to depend on anyone >.> |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| People being harsh on Yuzuyu mom are being ridiculous. It takes a lot to take care of a child and if she's too emotionally unstable and who knows what happened when her husband died, she said she was saving up too. So it probably means after her husband passed they were financially unstable as well. If she thought having Yuzuyu with relatives was a better option then that was the adult way but abandoning her and not telling anyone what was going on was childish. But I can understand it all. Anyways good plot momentum at the least. And small note that I'm glad Kokoro isn't dumb and doesn't get jealous over girls just talking to Kippei. He's obviously not even interested in it anymore. |
