| Himari throwing a fit. And neither characters reading the situation right but it seems they learned something new about each other and they are starting to realise their feelings. Tin is putting pressure on their relationship tho she doesn't realise this herself. Anyway it's nice seeing things going well again but the question is for how long since Himari and Yuu still have some things to work out and i also wonder how things will go with Rin. |
| Himari saw through the "food trap" but she showed up anyway. This seems like the most serious episode for Himari and Yuu. He even got slapped in the face when mentioned about Enomoto and model. But yeah, it just seems like Himari has that type of personality, not an easy person to deal with. The acting though, but I think she's a more sensitive person than she looks. |
 |
| okay, what's is meaning behind the purple tulip? The answer is royalty and elegance. It can also symbolize richness, glamor, charm, admiration, and adoration. |
真姫ちゃん！ 何が好き？ トマト よりも あ･な･た♡  |
| Himari threatened to go to Tokyo to make Yuu pay more attention to her and keep her as his exclusive model instead of Rin. Her motives—like the idea of a monthly “Himari Day” and the making flower accessories for her—were understandable, but what did she mean by kissing practice, is series with this one?! Still, as things stand, being in love with him while hiding her feelings won’t do her any favors. Can’t believe Shinji stepped in to help the troubled Yuu, pointing out what he’s lacking—especially considering Shinji was the one who caused most of this with what he said in the last episode. I really love Himari’s brother, Hibari—he’s the best side character, even better than the main ones. Bro even had to throw away his dignity and humiliate himself by licking Rin’s older sister for Himari’s sake. But when he found out Himari had a crush on Yuu, he said some truly deep words. He’s the best brother out there, if you ask me! Himari and Yuu made up, and it was a real surprise that Yuu chose her over Rin and was ready to leave school just to be with her. It’d be amazing if Himari could finally confess her feelings instead of clinging to the whole “If we’re still single at thirty” thing. But there’s always the risk of ruining the relationship if the other person doesn’t feel the same. So, among the many meanings of the purple tulip, Admiration, Elegance, and Enchantment hint at a shift in how Yuu sees Himari—these qualities reflect what he’s beginning to notice in her. Still, that doesn’t mean his feelings are fully romantic just yet. |

| That's some wise words coming from Himari's brother though it's too government-centric for the situations happening in my country atm lol. Just can't dislike Himari's possessive behaviour at all, I'm extremely rooting for her. |
| Yuu and Rion's collective plan to lure Himari in with snacks was as dumb as it was adorable lol Not big on flower symbolism so I Googled what purple flowers meant, and well, it sure checks out: These majestic blooms are also known to signify wealth, fortune, power, and abundance. They are an excellent choice when you are seeking to convey a feeling of grandeur and deep admiration and respect for someone. |
| Himari and Yuu got through a lot of different emotions this week, but in the end they decided that the other one is the most important thing to them (even more than their dream job in Yuu's case). They go back to being bffs, but at the same time, it feels like things have started to change between them at last and they're a bit closer than before: they're friends yes, but both are definitely more aware of their own feelings and of the ones of the other. It was cute, it was fun, it was heart-wrenching, it was frustrating, it was satisfying,... basically it was a very well-written and very good episode, even better than I was hoping for after last week cliffhanger. What I loved the most was that little moment when Himari thinks that her tears are crocodile tears but then she tears up a bit for real, and that's just such a touching and clever way to show how sincere and strong Himari's feelings really are. |
| i get how she feels and why she acts the way she does, but i still don't agree with her decisions. |
| Nice to see that Himari and Yuu are back being friends again but I don't really like Himari basically having a fit because things aren't going her way. |
| When is Himari gonna confess? We're back to square one -> more toxic bs from her guaranteed soon, even borderline abusive as she slapped him. I can't possibly root for her anytime soon if she doesn't stop being a dick. |
| Himari masterclass in emotional manipulation and gaslighting lmaoo. Just date at this point what’re we even wasting time for? Giving rings, promising to keep her as his number 1 and Yu took the bait and was willing to up and move to Tokyo for her. Clearly the titular question of “Cam a Boy-Girl Friendship survive”’s answer is no. Not with these anyway. There’s no rigamarole that anyone can offer me that would make Himari introducing Yu to Ennochi, suggesting he use her as a model, then getting upset about them getting closer make sense. If you wanted to stay the main and only girl, just gatekeep his abilities lmao. It’s the way she handled things too that annoys me. Being all passive aggressive and moody instead of just being open about how you were feeling, I’m glad they didn’t drag this out too long. Now the question is what happens with Ennochi since Yu’s basically said he chooses Himari. Does he just forget his first love or will there be more twists in the story 🤔 |

Nah I’m not getting spoiled |
|
| now both of their feelings are clear, they both love each other, but if the next 8-9 episodes are gonna be all about them hiding their feelings constantly i'm gonna lose it |

UTMAN said: @Marinate1016 You are not spoiled. Yuu promised that Himari will be the number one model for him, and he shows that 'passionate eye' to her only. He went back on that promise by wanting to ditch Himari as main model without a second thought. Himari was okay with Enomoto being a Model, however she did not agree with him basically kicking her out of the whole thing. She was absolutely right about getting mad. She was 1000 percent not right to react the way she did. She could’ve acted like a normal human and had a convo instead of throwing a fit, acting out etc. just say what upset you. Again if this was even remotely a concern she shouldn’t have introduced him to another model. It’s clear she’s possessive. You can like her idc but don’t act like she handled this well lmao |
|
| I had been eagerly waiting for this episode… but it was a huge disappointment. Honestly, it was a bad episode in every sense. I was about to explode with frustration when Yuu said he was going to leave school. I paused the episode because I thought he was quitting out of pity or something—but turns out it was for Himari. Still, that moment completely threw me off. The animation is now unbearable; it really ruins the whole anime. And Himari, who was once a cheerful and helpful girl, has become intolerable with her ridiculous and illogical actions. The story feels weak, and the dialogue is poorly written. Her brother’s "advice" sounded like something only my grandpa would understand. I honestly didn’t get what he was trying to say—it was just nonsense about being a government worker or whatever. I don’t like to criticize, especially when it’s a show I cared about and had high hopes for. I was just hoping for something with at least a bit of logic… not something that feels so childish.  |

| Oh great. Two episodes of crisis and hissy fits, and what do we get? Character development? Hardly. Romance progress? Almost undetectable. Basically nothing more than a reset to the previous status quo and Himari showing us a load of unethical, destructive, and self destructive behavior. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| Just like a rat, Himari knows exactly how to get on my nerves grrr—arghhh!!! I’m gonna start calling her Himarats, that’s it huff, I'm very much hate her! Poor my Rion… she deserves better<3 |
 me and who? |
| What a manipulative... Not really digging this episode. She acted in bad faith, had zero reflection on what she was losing nor her feelings, yet somehow the wimp was ready to throw his life out the window for her. Maybe is because their relationship started fully developed but there's nothing that compells me to hope them to have the happy ending. Enomoto at least is taking him seriously. |

And honestly, after watching it, I feel like she’s been completely tossed aside and forgotten… She was in the episode we saw her social media posts about the date, but yea this focused on Hikari toxic ass 🤢 hopefully we see more of Enocchi next week and Himari can redeem herself. |

| We resolved the conflict pretty fast. i thought this would drag for few eps. Himari's hiding his feelings under the guise of "best friend"... again |
 |
| 4 episodes in and it still remains annoying. One girl can't be honest with herself, she loves her best friend, but because she never tells him, yet teases him constantly, which is torturing for the guy, this ends up straining their friendship and hurting her best friend. One girl can't express herself, but is honest with her feelings and caring, she has no intention of getting in the way of their friendship, she just wants to be with him, but she causes the friend to become jealous, and will probably be hurt in the crossfire. The guy is too unconfident and shy to do anything serious, who is also not honest about his feelings, he is not selfish, but his straight "can't read between the lines" character, causes him to hurt his own best friend, and most likely, unintentionally hurt his former crush that likes him. Then there is the creepy sleaze-ball best friend who is actually mature when he wants to be and can give good advice, but he screws up all his own relationships. I really don't understand why anime "romance" has to be so dramatic and full of lack of communication, hurt, pain, and tears. Why can't someone write an actual love story, where two people honestly get to know each other and fall in love over time? It doesn't have to be boring if written creatively. It just would be a nice change of pace. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |
| "How to turn a waifu into trash within 4 EPs." Could have apologized smh. |
| Animation quality improved in this episode. Good to see. After thinking about it, how come Yu forgot that he made a promise to make Himari his main model? Even if he did forget the specific promise, how come he thought it was a good idea to casually replace the same model he had for years? Guy didn't read the room. So he's at least partially at fault for what happened in the last episode. Finally, Himari got the bashing she deserved from her brother. He was completely right. She was blackmailing Yu and thought she could get away with it. Bruh. I hope she'll stop it with these manipulations. But that probably won't happen. Yu broke the necklace he had made for her. That's a shame. It looked good. But at least now he gave her a ring. I guess even he's starting to accept his feelings for her. If that's the case then Enomoto will get sidelined which is a shame. Either way, it looks like the status quo was restored. Except Yu and Himari probably feel more strongly about each other now. Like dude was even ready to drop out of school just for her lmao. Wonder who that character at the end was. |
| Nahhh the emotional blackmail failed badly for Himari this episode, and Yuu was being pretty stupid as well. Episode felt "childish" It was good to see Himari being able to express her true feelings to her brother, but I feel like it was only a sliver... I'm just happy to see the blue haired gremlin again this week, if I'm being honest. |

It just would be a nice change of pace. There are plenty of anime like that. From the last couple of seasons, I remember I Have a Crush at Work and 365 Days to Wedding. Albeit the former focuses on an already established couple. Tomo-chan is a Girl from 2023 is also good (really thought this was more recent). I haven't watched these ones yet, but I've heard high praise about them: The Dangers in My Heart and Skip and Loafer. |

| @UTMAN So "it is all the guy's fault", that is actually not entirely true. Following the context of what was happening in the anime, the girl "best friend" practically pushed Yuu into that position with everything she was saying and doing. Yuu kept trying to talk to her about how strange she was acting, but she would avoid it, not being honest with herself of him, and not communicating anything in a straight forward fashion, plus teasing and torturing Yuu all the time, seemed to really put a strain on and a kind of distance in their friendship. The guy best friend picked up on this when Yuu talked to him, so he purposely pushed the buttons further, knowing it would force the girl best friend to finally snap, making her unable tot keep her true self hidden inside. Yes, I understand that Yuu broke a promise that he made years ago, but understandably he had to remember making that promise, yet she acted like it was made yesterday. over reacting, instead of being honest and communicating with Yuu. I mean come on, lying about going to Tokyo, really? Blaming only the guy, when the girl is obviously at fault too, is not fair in the slightest. |
