Yes Shuko and more of Tanaka/Kou's back story! Finally, we get to learn more about them. I smell some oddball drama in the next episode though. The study session was alright, had a funny mood going on.

Aya is also an underrated character in this series. He was badass in the latest episode yo

What he do every night affects his grade and his brother, as his teacher, called him. She has make up on, and he said not suitable for her. He was in a special class in first year? He and is ex-classmates don't seem to be in a good term. That might be the reason? Kou was a kid who tries to be strong, but he is true to himself in front of his brother. They were so close that the teacher cares about Kou.

Trying to help out, they went to Kou's place for study meeting. She thought he's awake because of the snack, but actually he got jealous. That shy girl gets jealous, too, and tries to make some alone moments for herself. Definitely something just happened when the main girl went to check on them.

Love this episode! *.*

Aya is so precious <3

Kou looked so good in this scene and I like how he looked at Futaba and Aya getting close to each other
and get how he separated them and that "then teach me about it, sensei~" *.*
I can't... he is so perfect! <3

I love Kou's straightforwardness. I don't think anyone else could just wipe off a part of Futaba's lipstick on a whim.

Kominato has proven to be a very loyal friend. Those advanced class jerks ran off quickly, when he stood up to them.

Tanaka is a very caring person, Kou is also lucky for having him as a brother.

Had a few giggles at the their last text sentence. Cueball-sensei it is.

I was waiting for that kind of reaction from Kou, as soon as he put down his phone.

He can also be lured easily, the plan worked out.

I felt a strong sense of rejection near the end. I guess that lonely jagaimo-kun represented that.

That note exchange!
I slipped out an "omg" when Kou said it doesn't suit her.
Those advanced class ex-classmates! Seems like someone I know all too well too >.>
Wahh... young Kou only showing weakness to his older brother ^w^
That sudden trip to Kou's house to improve his grades! Kou's first thought being about the lock ^^
Perhaps Kou decided to wake up and sit there! And Yuuri bringing up the drinks to break that conversation.
Yuuri probably asked Kou about how he feels about Futaba!

I think Kou's voice suits him too. I have stuck in my head Air's Yukito (I think that was his name) character, that Kou's seiyuu also voiced, who was a false unengaged type who deep inside had a caring heart, exactly like Kou is, so I find his voice well-matched.

I love Kou's voice, it suits him perfectly.

He just swiped her makeup on a whim. What a straightforward guy, that's what makes the show good.
He's reaction to the study grou was funny.

And something clearly happened between Kou and Yuuri. I Wonder what it is.

Yes! I absolutely love Kou's voice. I think it fits him so well. It's sexy~

I'm actually pretty disappointed that this isn't 2-cour, but a second season seems likely.

I feel bad for Makita a little, since Kou probably doesn't reciprocate her feelings, but at the same time I'm kind of annoyed with her. Especially when she asked Kou to get the glasses just because she didn't like the way he and Futaba were flirting.

Of course, knowing Kou, he's not into those stuff but Makita's blushing made it look suspicious..


He's a straightforward guy, when he says they weren't doing anything chances are that's true. I'd guess Yuuri confessed and was turned down, considering her reaction to Futaba I'd say she had it "confirmed" that Kou was into her.

Kou does such embarrassing stuff that would be cringeworthy in real life. What guy would ever say makeup doesn't suit a girl in real life? Then proceed to wipe it off her lips with his finger? Was that jealousy earlier when he joined the group to study?

Nah. I think Kou just joined the group because he gave up.

The one that might get jealous might be Murao at Makita because she had a conversation with Kou's brother. Look at Murao's reaction towards Makita when Makita told Kou that his brother is concerned.


Kou was jealous when he saw Kominato and Futaba talking together that's why Kou joined them and he said '' move over a little Kominato'' and pushed him to Murao. and Makita was sad because she knew that Kou was being jealous over Futaba and Kominato.

It's not a good thing to do but that's not a reason to hate him. He has flaws but he will change for the better later on. He is just a jealous guy. He will have great character development.

A little bit of a cliffhanger here. Even though is probably Futaba that misunderstood and inside that room nothing happened. Or better, nothing happened between those two. On the other hand Yuuri did nothing to reassure the atmosphere at all. Maybe consciously.

I wonder if Kou just thinks she looks attractive with the make-up and doesn't want other guys noticing it... I feel like I've seen that kind of reaction before in anime.

I'm dying to know what happened between Kou and Yuuri. I feel like she got turned down and probably just didn't want to talk about it so she wouldn't get upset... I don't know. If anyone reads the manga, do you know what chapter addresses that, if it's from the manga? I'm feeling a little impatient... ^_^'

I'm still upset the kitten has no home...



Still, a good episode. I continue to look forward to this anime every week.

The 'teach me sensei' part had me dying.

I don't think anything happened between Yuuri & Kou, I feel like he told her he isn't in love or something... I don't know why she was blushing though. I hope Shuuko & Tanaka ends up together, I found the way she was mad at Kou for upsetting Tanaka so cute.

I felt that way too. Or he finds her prettier when she's all natural. It happens in so many romance anime.

I just realized this, but why was Kou's door unlocked to begin with? Is it normal in Japan to not lock your doors when you're sleeping?
And when was Yuuri blushing? She just looked depressed to me.
And is it just me, or did Kou turn on the faucet at the exact moment before Yuuri could finish her sentence? I always have the feeling that Kou is very aware of what people are thinking and feeling around him, and I feel like he might have possibly been trying to stop Yuuri from finishing her sentence at that moment.

AHH this Anime is driving me insane! I cant get enough of it and to leave us in such a cliffhanger. *Heart Attack*

I have a feeling that Kou kissed Makita int he room, after she walked out of the room she had a little this little happy grin on her face, and when walking out she was blushed. IF she had been friend zoned as I truly wish I dont think she would have had that reaction.
Hopefully all is revealed in next weeks episode. :-)

Yes in Japan, they like to unlock their doors so people can come inside and help them study. That's the only reason.

But Mabuchi, you should know that you can't wipe away lipstick like that. Finger magic? :D

And did Yuuri tell him she loves him or not? I actually loved that uneasy atmosphere when they were cleaning the glasses. I wonder what really happened down there as they were both in the same room.

She clearly looked left into second room, was shocked for some reason and only after that she turned to Mabuchi, who suddenly realized she saw what she shouldn't. Does he has Futaba photo in there by any chance? I bet Kou asked Yuuri to not tell her and gave her some explanation perhaps.

This is what I was thinking as well.

Man, even though this series kind of feels like a generic shoujo at this point, I clearly really enjoy generic shoujo because I loved this episode. It was so cute and lighthearted and... I dunno, it feels like nothing really happened, but sometimes nothing needs to happen.

Looking forward to the next episode!
