THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Whoa, I'm starting to really like the colorful culture presented in this show.

Looks like Akane is part of a love triangle but she politely declines the other guy as she currently has Koutarou as her boyfriend. I feel like their relationship is a lot more tense than before though especially from Koutarou's side.

That was a great episode. The animation quality is much better than some of the recent ones, Akane was put in a few different emotional situations, and nice try Hira.

Well, I just watched the raws for episode 10 and, even without being able to understand the Japanese, it looks to me like this episode might beat out episode 8 as the best episode yet.

Another amazing episode. Had the watch the raws cause I could not wait. Damn u Crunchyroll. Know its not their fault as this series has had obvious production problems. Hope the last couple of episodes turn out ok.

Another great episode . Even though I watched raw , I do kind of bit understand what they are saying and that last part really got me. Looks like akane are the one taking the side now. It makes me happy how loyal Akane and Kotarou are with each other . That hug and kiss though! Goodjob Akane!

Had also to watch the raws xD

The thing I got for sure was that Hira made his move, dunno if I should hate him or not. He's also in love and I can understand that, but on the other hand, to go for a girl in a relationship isn't cool at all. My fazit in the end is probably that Hira sucks, since he was responsible for the drama afterwards.

Felt bad for Akane, but she had to understand Kotarou too. Getting jealous/angry is normal in such a situation.

In any case I'm glad they made up with each other and in such a beautiful way, went into total fanboy mode when they kissed.

Awesome episode, at this point it's almost safe to say that this is gonna be AOTS, at least from the shows which will be over after this cour.

It's always a jerk-ass move to go after someone who's already in a relationship and, although I don't know what Hira said, I certainly didn't like his attitude.

On the other hand, having "google-translated" some of the text messages between Kotarou and Akane, Akane herself doesn't seem to come off all that rosie. After disposing of the recyclables, she lets herself get led away, spending time alone and enjoying the festival with another guy at the same time that she is supposed to be meeting up with her boyfriend. If that is, indeed, what transpired (we won't know definitively until it's properly translated), then Akane would come off as pretty stupid and Kotarou would be perfectly justified in getting pissed and letting her know it.

God that was pretty hard to watch, but the ending was soooooo cute, went crazy when they kissed. Hira is a total ass, going for a girl who's in a relationship is always pathetic. I'm glad Akane just politely turned him down, and happy he's out of the way. I have a grudge against him since episode 1.

Akane crying was the hardest to watch imo, but I think she understands Kotarou. Kotarou being angry was totally justified, she was supposed to be spending time with him, but instead she's alone with a guy she has a pretty good clue likes her. I guess she's too naive and doesn't even think about it that way. Also, she felt the same way about Chinatsu, so I think in the end she understands how Kotarou felt.

I'm not sure what that book in the end is about, since I haven't seen the translations, but them making up in the end was so amazing to watch, made the whole episode worth it. While watching her cry out of sadness during the festival was hard, watching her cry in the end was beautiful.

I'm expecting episode 11 to be a little dramatic, but I'm sure episode 12 will end up pretty happy.

EDIT: Watched it subbed now, god damnit it's even better. I'm happy that Kotarou is applying to Koumei as well, I hope he gets through.

Yeah, I'm with you on that, it's partly her own fault, but at the same time I'm thinking she definitely wasn't doing it with ill intentions. It was just a mistake due to her inexperience.

Having just watched the subbed version, it's confirmed: Akane's pretty stupid. Instead of hanging out with Hira (again), a guy she knows has the hots for her and might confess at any moment, she should have declined his offered, returned to where the rest of the track team was, and waited there until her boyfriend showed up who she knew was coming to meet her.

The art looked so beautiful. It made the festival so alive. Kotarou did good on his part for the festival. It was satisfying to see Hira get turned down. Kotarou got jealous when he saw him with Akane and decided not to talk to her. I'm glad things got resolved quickly. He even decided to go to the same school she's going to. Their kiss was cute.

But the thing is Hira is an important friend to her. She has made it clear her friends are important to her as well.

Other than that, the drama was handled quite nicely and the way in which it was resolved as well as everything about that finale scene was just 100/10

So, instead of spending time enjoying the festival with her boyfriend who only has a limited amount of time before he has to perform again, you think Akane should spend that time alone with some other guy who is just her friend. "Oh, my boyfriend is coming to meet me but screw him, I'll hang out with you instead." Yeah, sounds like the proper thing to do, right?

Argggggggg! The emotional rollercoaster had me going good. I was mad with Akane hanging out with jerk face Hira. Mad at Koutarou being mad at Akane. And I thought it was all gonna end bitterly this episode but low and behold, that epic reconciliation! Had me hooting and hollering, so glad I don't live in an apartment. Best episode yet.

P.S. Hira, GTFOH, and don't come back. No one likes a "but I've known you longer" and "I've loved you for a long time" sore looser. There's only room for Koutarou, move aside.

Great episode.

Goddamn, if the drama hadn't been resolved this episode, I would've been heartbroken.
To be honest, I don't think Akane was at fault. I understand why Azumi was annoyed by what happened but he should've have really taken it out on Akane. Hira was the root cause of the problem, he should've at least told Kotarou out of respect or something before he confessed similar to how Chinatsu told Akane. Watching Akane cry at the festival was so heart wrenching. T.T

The finale was so beautiful and I'm so happy they got together again. :D
Glad that Kotarou is applying to Koumei as well, I hope they both get in.

Dude shes inexperienced and this is all very new to her.... You could see how happy she was when she was running to meet Kotaru, so it was obvious she meant no harm... She made a mistake no doubt, but lets not make it seem like shes some horrible person.

I disagree, as many some have pointed out Akane is rather inexperienced and naive, so she had no reason to see the confession coming. We can see throughout the various episodes that she had never seen Hira in a romantic way at all.

As for her going off with another guy, once again I have to give her the benefit of the doubt in not seeing Hira that way and that she was tempted by her favourite food and its not like she wasn't waiting for Kotarou the entire time, she was basically checking her cellphone for the entirety waiting for him to contact her. If she had been with literally anybody else no one would even bat an eyelash.

I may be one of the few people who side with Akane here and I rather think that she is mostly blameless aside from naivete. I argue that Kotarou should've been less a dick and confronted her instead if it bothered him so much. He could've asked about the conversation and stuff. I mean when Akane realized why he might've been mad she tried to make amends and told him about the confession, and his reaction was to blow her off and ruin what may be one of their last private moments together for awhile if the Koumei thing doesnt work out.

How many times does Hira get to lead Akane down the garden path before Akane realizes what he's up to? This was the second time that Hira maneuvered Akane away from everyone else so he could be alone with her and confess and she still has no clue what he's up to or how her boyfriend would react if he caught them in the same situation again? No, she meant no harm. No she's not some horrible person. She made the same mistake again. Hopefully she won't repeat this stupid mistake in the future.

This time he wasn't leading her anywhere they got the short stick and had to go throw the trash and then he asked if she wanted to go get the sweets that she said she wanted to eat, she had little reason to believe such an outcome was incoming considering her naivete. I get what you mean, I just dont think that she did anything particularly wrong. Also there won't be a third time but that's for a diffrent reason. XD

Man i really hate Hira. Confess to a girl while on a relationship? Pathetic. And he seems doesn't really accepted why in earth Akane choose Azumi? You got a problem with that?? At least he's accepted that he's lost. Yeah Azumi had the right to be jealous, seeing Akane makes me hurt so much. Can't possibly blame either of them, this is Hira's fault! Thankfully they make up with each other. When Akane kiss Azumi, I'm fanboying so loudly and i'm jumped in my sofa like a fucking 5 years old. It's as if like I just watched my national football team scored a goal. I'm glad Azumi applies to the same school as Akane, even willing to go for 2 hours from his home to the school. He still hasn't got a permission from his parents yet, I'm sure his dad will let him, I don't know about this mother though. Seriously I thought this is episode 11, but it's still 10 episodes. With two episodes left, please no more drama and let it be a happy ending. So far I still rated this anime 10/10. I'm disappointed that not a lot of people watch this anime, this anime is the most underrated anime ever. It deserves more recognition

This went from saying screw Azumi in my head to actually call him an alpha male. But in the end, it was all Akane. Great performance, great character.

Innocent love is always pretty nice to watch. How many episodes is this going to have?

God this show is so great. This is exactly what I've been missing for years now. A pure and beautiful romance. I really hope this ends happily for them
. They're so perfect for each other. Best episode yet. One of the best
that I can remember. Drama never really feels forced in this show...it's all natural and realistic. I love it. Knocked this up to a 9/10 overall score for me. A good ending could make this a 10/10 anime. edit:



Also, the insert song is a cover of "Fragile" by Every Little Thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP60Qqjfdhs, performed in the anime of course by Nao Touyama

edit: Hira is a jerk for doing that knowing she was in a relationship. There's no defending that, IMO. I'm really glad to see Akane is the type of person who just straight up tells people what needs to be said. I love her.


As for episode length, the plot seems to be heading for 12 or 13 episodes. The official website still doesn't even have a page for blu-ray/DVD so I can't really say for sure. Blu-ray/DVD listings are usually how I confirm show lengths lol.

Another great episode.
Koutarou was quite a shit for making Akane cry and i hate seeing her cry.
Anyway i don't think Hira is a jerk for confession why Akane is in relation because it is the last chance for him and this is a way for moving on.
The ending was amazing with that kiss and the insert song.

I dont really blame either Akane or Azumi for the conflicts that they have in this episode , because in a relationship there is always going to be a conflicts. But then , Akane's crying at the bridge proves that she really loves Azumi . This episode sets up how the ending would be and im pretty sure there will be a happy ending
