i'm really rooting for Eita x Ena now. and it makes me sad at the same time, because i've got a feeling this ship's not gonna sail.

for some reason i've been irritated with Mio since the eraser flashback scene, her crush seemed kinda stupid and far-fetched, and now she's giving the eraser back, which i suppose means she's ready to let her crush go. she's definitely starting to feel something for Eita, so when i see her watching him interact with Ena, i can't help but think "serves you right". i really wish this anime showed us that sometimes people just don't see what's under their noses and when they finally do - it's already too late. but hey, not gonna happen.

I can certainly agree that Mio doesn't really know what to do to be honest, despite me preferring her more than the other characters (I'm not a big fan of Komiya of course).

With Morikawa and Haruto perhaps sailing with their relationship, perhaps. Maybe that means this is going rather well to be fair.

I see everyone trying to figure out who likes whom, and I see why; but anyway guys, they're just teens. They do not know what they want, just as we did/do, that's where plot twists live in this series (and in every other love series).
Anyway, the long trumpet scene was a really good way to gain some momentum. The final scene hit me hard, I cannot wait to see how the Komiya and Izumi relationship will evolve.

I wonder why Mio's friend doesn't like Hazuki... Could it be that she likes Haruto too? And that's why she asked Mio if she really was in love with Haruto?

I hope Hazuki won't reject Haruto just because of Mio's feelings.

Wow. I actually enjoyed this episode.
So, at the start of the episode Izumi is shown to be what I think was preparing for Suizan University entrance exams, Suizan University being Mio's university of choice. This just strikes me as weird because I don't get what this would accomplish (If I'm even interpreting the scene correctly). He hasn't confessed to her yet, nor does he even know whether his feelings are reciprocated. Was he just planning to, like, hang around her?
Seems like Izumi's relationship with Ena's progressing nicely. She probably either has or will have developed feelings for him.
So, the eraser thing. I see Mio giving Souma that eraser as her letting go of her feelings for him because he obviously likes Morikawa, and maybe because she's subconsciously developed feelings for Izumi's emo ass for some ungodly reason. Thus, she leaves one love triangle and possibly enters another between Izumi, Ena, and herself.
Also, Ena 'backing off' from Izumi was pretty cute.
The Morikawa and Souma situation is just annoying at this point. She rejected him before, and had some pretty valid reasons for doing so, but now she's reconsidering. Bitch, what is there to reconsider? You're moving to whole different city. Of course it can't work out. She's just refusing to face reality, and is meanwhile leading the poor bastard on by giving him false hope. So I guess now they're just stuck in relationship limbo.
As for the last scene of the episode, it was frickin neat. I like how as Izumi and Ena seem to grow closer in front of Mio's eyes, she's forced to confront her feelings for him. For example, the looks she gives em, and of course the 'Why'. Obviously the 'Why' could mean many things. She could be under the misconception that Izumi and Ena are a couple, and given the fact that Morikawa just cucked her, she could be wondering 'why' she's the only one left alone. She obviously doesn't like Izumi and Ena acting close, so she could be wondering 'why am I feeling like this?'. Or, of course, she could just be wondering 'why' the hell he's carrying Ena on his back.
The point is, that ending scene could mean a lot of things, and that fact has got me hooked till the next episode.

The end gave the feeling that Natsume would after all like Izumi at least a bit coz she seemed to dislike seeing Izumi and Komiya together. I also feel like Komiya is starting to like Izumi and I hope to see them together in the end! After all Natsume was quite rude towards Izumis feelings so imo Izumi shouldn't care about Natsume and move on.

Muh boy souma managed to unjust himself, but then mio goes and takes his place.

I guess I'm in the minority of kind of rooting for eita and mio more than ena. Its delusion but im holding out the smallest bit of hope they actually will just keep ena a bro and not a love triangle participant just cause i genuinely hate love triangles.

I'm gonna be very dissapointed with this animes final episodes, because the opening kind of spoils everything about the realtionships, and I really would love IzumixEna, but opening almost says that it would end IzumixMio.
And that is kind of being visible, as if Mio stop caring about Souma's progress with Morikawa, and how she returned the eraser like pointing that it is over, and that is something I actually hate about some animes, when a character begin to feel interested in other character because their first love get into a relationship with anyone else, please I beg to be wrong and so Mio stay alone :v


Me too. At first i want to see Eita x Mio. But now, Komiya is the best girl and i really want to ship her with Eita.

it is a college exam but not to joei university where he got a recomendation at.
i assume after eita realize how bad he is on the self test on the begining of the episode and knowing that mio are going to the same university, he just want to avoid any future problem that might occur especially with mio

Eita getting Ena out of trouble seems like it will raise her flag a lot.

Haruto at least got straight told to not expect anything so if he gets his heart broken again that will be totally because of his own hype in which case he won't deserve any pity.

And welp, Mio continues being Mio, lost in limbo although the eraser scene did seem like she just closed off the Haruto route for good.

Overall it was a pretty good episode.

I much prefer Eita with Komiya because their chemistry is so much better. And I'd rather see Haruto with Natsume, because Morikawa kinda pisses me off, she doesn't know what she wants and now she's becoming something of a dog in the manger. Eita x Natsume is something that I'd rather not see though, thank you very much. It'd look much like she fell back to her backup option because of being a bitch since her first choice didn't work out, Eita is much better off with Komiya in such a scenario.

Six episodes in and sadly I still don't feel for the characters in this show. Should we really feel bad for Izumi, Natsume, Haruto and Morikawa? I don't see why we should. Natsume didn't even try to make her feelings clear to Haruto all these years, so why should I sympathize with her? And on top of that, her feelings are obviously nothing more than a crush. Izumi is doing the same thing. He liked Natsume all these years but again he never made his feelings clear. Haruto got rejected but now Morikawa is giving him hope that she MIGHT answer his feelings someday.

Honestly, it feels like Natsume doesn't even know what she wants but of course the show will make it that she has been interested in Izumi all along without realizing it. Big deal. Nothing new. And now she's starting to show some jealousy of Komiya. Komiya is the most interesting character in the show but obviously she's a plot device to bring Izumi and Natsume together. Yes, it's the obvious, predictable lame sh*t again. I would like to be proven wrong but I highly doubt.


^This! I'm having the same problem. For me it just feels flat, even though I know they are going into cliche route, the execution is not that good either to make me care about the characters. :/

I'm actually kind of worried about Eita's practice... 45/100?! Will he be able to improve his results in time (there's still so many things happening) so that his university doesn't retract his recommendation >-> It would suck if he had to end up in a shitty university

Idk I just feel that there's too many things happening for a grp of students who r abt to take university entrance exams

That’s not how the recommendation system works. If a school is good enough it has some recommendations to specific universities that it can hand out. Once they are given you’re in and you don’t need to sit exams. What Eita is doing is practicing the test for a different university, the one Natsume is going to. He posted an application, so if he does well in the exam he could chose between his recommendation and his exam.

Haruto realizes his ship with Hazuki has not yet been sunk after all. Those damage control parties doing a good job putting out fires and keeping the listing ship afloat. Still, gotta be careful - he's still not yet clear of the rocks yet.

Just as Mio seemingly lets go of her own emotional baggage from her first love, it seems her own ship with Eita is already taking on water without even having left port. I'm still not quite sure how emotionally involved Ena is in the equation now though. Next episode could be interesting for their side.

Yes, the characters are just so plain and boring. Obviously we're supposed to feel for them but I don't and I don't think I ever will. The drama is overly exaggerated. And of course it's going the cliche route. What I hate the most is when the girl doesn't show any interest in the protagonist but the moment she sees him with another girl, she gets all jealous and realizes that he might be the one she likes after all.

I really don't like Mio, she was often rude or cold in the first episodes and she doesn't know what she wants. For now she just brings drama to the anime by complicating things between Haruto and Hazuki then Eita and Ena. And judging by the trailers and opening, she'll most likely end up with Eita. I hope they'll make her likeable or else It's gonna be a frustrating ending...

Unfortunately Komiya is going to get rejected by the end of this, I'd bet my paycheck on it. I've seen her charecter arc before in several other romance anime. She's going to be the one to build Eita up and break him out of his moody shell only for him to take that newfound confidence and run to Natsume. Which is really ashame because her charecter is much more interesting than Natsume's. By the end I expect her to save the photography club like she wanted to do from the beginning and that'll be her victory in this story. Calling it now.

Are Japanese somehow fixated ond erasers or something? I see this trope in every other anime.

Anyway, what a great episode. I really like how most things happens in the same way as it could have happened in the real life too (maybe only Haruto's little bit overreacting at time but that's totally fine for anime). It's way too often that the girl rejects the boy several times before she opens up and succumbs to his charms. I still wonder whether she backs off because of Natsume though.. but that would be terrible choice.

It's also really nice how naturally and fluently the relationship between Komiya and Eita builds, in fact, it's mostly those active and daring girls like those that have the biggest chance to win guy over rather than quiet, shy types that don't get their message over. Someone would be jelly here and soon. It would be great if Mio would be the only odd one in the end as she is very undecisive and honestly doesn't even know what she wants just yet.

This show quickly becomes my favourite this season, it gives us pretty great slice-of-life romance actually.

Anyone craving for more romance can just watch latest two short movies Zutto Mae kara Suki Deshita and Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan o meanwhile, those are pretty good romance choices too (with upcoming anime series Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 Centi Datta at that) but I dare to say that Just Because series has a potentional to be even better than Tsuki ga Kirei in the end.

One thing I like about this anime so far is that it has a consistent tone throughout. It's not too happy, too dramatic or too sad. But somehow I feel like there's gonna be some drama that's about to happen soon, hopefully it's handled well or else this anime overall is gonna get a 6/10 from me.

The OP might as well give a hint at who's gonna end up with who. Except Komiya because fuck characters that are interesting from the start, right?

Anywho, I'm interested in the smartphones they have. Though their designs are mostly made up imma just slip in and say.
Izumi > Looks like the LG G6 with its dual camera position
Natsume > Looks like an iPhone to me but the OS looks like an android
