The really messed up part is now he can confirm that that's one thing she DEFINITELY didn't have written in her diary. Must feel sad, Tatsuya.

I actually think it is pretty clear that what she says is actually written in the diary and she was trying to test his reaction.

Let's think about it for a second:

If she actually wrote it in her diary, then his reaction proves that he didn't read the diary. But if she *didn't* write it in her diary, then his reaction wouldn't prove anything. So if she was testing him with that line, then it means she must have actually written in her diary that she loves him.

Of course, that assumes she has a calculating enough mind to play a gambit like that, so who knows...

Great episode, and tease.
I know better than to expect romantic developments before episode 50

wow that was really fucked up. I was legitimately surprised that a confession could happen this early on, makes sense that it wasn't one.

Well, I already guessed it after reading the discription and having watched the first episode, but my theory:

- Minami loves Tatchan
- Katchan loves Minami, but he knows or at least assumes, that she loves his brother
- Tatchan gave up on Minami long ago and closed in his potential feelings, because he thinks she loves his brother and Katchan is better for her

I guess her main reason, why she doesnt confess and make things clear is a mix of losing the friendship with Katchan, destroying the brotherbond and imo the biggest reason, that she doesnt like his current slacker attitude, BECAUSE he has such potential and is just wasting it. Also she might even consider, that he might reject her because of his brother.

@ diary: She tested his reaction.

a) If he had looked at her diary and
I) she wasnt lying about being im love with him, he wouldnt have reacted surprised
II) she was lying, he would have acted surprised, but in another way, e.g. like "But you have written, that you love me."

b) If he didnt look at her diary,
it didnt matter if she lied or not, because he will take the confession at face value, because its the first time he hears about it.

What does matter, if she actually lied about the confession at all, but what Im thinking about this, is already mentioned above. ^^

Awesome episode btw.

I agree with what Pirate says Tatsuya closed his feeling and think more about others than himself in this case Minami and Kazuya, he is wasting his potential and also because everyone says that Minami should marry Kazuya he just gave up in Minami... Is sad this talk about a self sacrificing personality, we will see this causing more sadness or complicated moments in his life.

Minami is trying to make Tacchan get motivated about something I guess, since she doesn't like to see him like this, this was a good thing for her to do, if only he appreciated this, and didn't skip the practice... But well, he might still get fired up about it! And Kaori is a bit extreme, wanting to be hit by that ball so that Kacchan would be kind to her. lol But she is certainly serious about him.

And there was also the incident with the diary, I think that Minami was a bit mean testing Tacchan like that, and making him drop his lunch but I wonder if it was really a lie. It seems Kacchan isn't so sure that Minami likes him, as their parents, and Tacchan seem to think she does, he was worried about the two of them running together, and if she would've invited him for the concert if it wasn't a classical one, but good stuff!

I dunno if Minami is really that calculating, but it's a given that she has feelings for Tatsuya.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

What a bitch. Honestly Minami's one of the most annoying female characters I've seen in a while.

Rip Tatsuya's bento...never to be eaten...
So hold on if Minami confirmed it by saying she loved him..this is some psychological stuff right here. I bet she just tested his reaction but what she said must be true, right?

What's the deal with Kaori? She's pretty but her personality sucks. Will she even be relevant later on in the story?

Anyways, this was a 5/5 episode!

That was an effective way to know if Tatsuya read her diary or not simply by confessing her love. Too bad it's not really true, good one Minami. Finally figured out how to distinguish the twins by their bangs lol. It's a little hard to tell which one is which just by the appearance.
