----------------------------------------
Hmm I'm glad to see some cameos from the other main female characters in particular Tsuneki.

Otherwise, I think the episode did a decent job at giving some other minor characters a spotlight. Kyouko's role didn't impress me much as I had hoped. Maybe she's just too straightforward. I do find her and Kamita's relationship/character chemistry to be cute still.

So there are some issues along to road to a Xmas date.
Well the love hotel part was funny but it seems neither of them is ready for that.
Still the sempai helping out it nice.
Hibiki isn't very helpful tho.

Hikari getting embarrassed when she saw the love hotel was amusing. Shouichi was unsuccessful asking Kyouko out. She asked Hikari for advised, but it didn't go well.

Nice episode.

Loving Kyouko even more, that cosplay was so good. <3
Kyouko and Shouichi had some good chemistry this episode, loved their interactions.

It was funny when Hikari got called out for cooking deer and when she got embarrassed on seeing the love hotel.

Shouichi's attempt to ask Kyouko out was unsuccessful. :(
I don't know how, but why did everyone assume that the Hikari's little facade at the end was reference to Shouichi. Well, I'm glad Kyouko didn't believe it completely.

Meanwhile, Ikuo got himself a girlfriend. xD

After each new episode Tsuneki's role keeps growing, i feel like she is the true mc =/ And i think comedy part this time was quite good, and Tsuneki was big part of it. I'm starting to like her more, interesting that it's happening when her arc is over.
Usually there is a dense for the romance part mc, but this time it is the other way, well not that bad, but Kyoko showing some signs.

Looks like Hikari overshadows Kyouko in her own arc!!!! Too bad her arc was limited to summer-camp only.

So Sho-chan went to check up on Kyoko fitting in her club suddenly after 3 months, and he seems quite friendly with her clubmates, but still awkward around other girls.

The part where Kyouko seeing Kamita confronting Ikuo through the window would probably play an important part in a different arc.

Misunderstanding crisis avoided! Kyouko, you're the best for seeing through that; she really understands Kamita but I guess that's to be expected since they've known each other for so long.

Definitely enjoying Kyouko's are the most, so I hope it continues that way for the last two episodes.

This episode was a bit slow, the chemistry between Shoichi and Kyoko didn't evolve much beyond typical confusion and childhood memories. Still, I'm glad to see the other members of the Home Ec get some spotlight. Also, Hikari returns to have a role in the new story arc, making me wonder about her overall role in the series. Maybe Tooru will have a part as well? Who knows.

I like Kyoko a lot more after this episode, especially how's she's started trying to grow up in some ways but occasionally some immature facets of her personality still can be seen briefly here and there. And if it wasn't apparent before, this episode makes it clear just how much of a faker Hikari actually is.

I'm prob the only person who noticed this, but Kyoko knits continental style. And the animators did a really excellent job showing her knitting, with the yarn tensioned well and all that. Ok, so nobody really cares, but just wanted to say I'm happy that they actually showed someone knitting relatively correctly. {Edit: Oops. I said that, and then I realized that she's moving stitches from right needle to left needle and holding yarn in front. So unless she's knitting backwards (like some people do to avoid purling), it's totally wrong.}

Seriously, though... where's the hidden Ikuo route?! After not one but two references to "play wrestling" and then a wall slam, I need to see an Ikuo route! 😝

Kyouko is just so adorable and caring to Shouchi. She's cute, cooks, cosplays and is just all around perfection. Forget about trying to date her, go straight for marriage! That comment about using character-themed underwear to make decorations for the kids and her senpai's suggestion about flashing her panties (and Kyouko's naive reaction) were quite amusing.

Looks like some speed bumps on the road to the Christmas date. Kyouko's comments about Shoichi being a coward seemed a bit harsh (I know she's only saying it out of jealousy and she doesn't really mean it). I wonder who the guy asking every girl out for pancakes really was? Also, what was she knitting with such determination at the end? All in good time I guess.

Hikari has had such a prominent role in the arcs after hers. Feels like they're trying to pour salt in the wound. Sanjo Ruise (committee chairman) feels like a reverse Ayatsuji from Amagami (she might actually be really sweet) but we probably won't find out until her arc (if that ever happens).

I also like the small references they make to the other arcs (for example the heater that Shoichi tripped over in Tooru's arc).

Still enjoying the show, but not liking this arc much at all. If it wasn't for the cameo's and the Home EC Club's banter, I'd for sure dropped it. I didn't really like Miyamae's arc either in the beginning, but that one grow on me quickly (aided by the formidable ED "Muteki no Megami"). Kyoko's just feels cringey to me. I guess it really is personal though, as I see so many here liking it the best so far, and disliking Tsuneki.

It's just another episode which establises Tsuneki as the absolute end-game boss.

It even looks more like people are requesting audiences with her during lunch.

Smudy said:

Why? She probably didn't know Kyoko had been asked out by Kamita, so her remark about a guy asking all the girls for pancake dates might not have been intended to cause harm.

I wonder who the real pancake culprit is though, I'm guessing it's Nanasaki after he got turned down. It would explain why Kamita seemed to be scolding him.

I do hope so, and I also do hope she does not turn out to be really sweet. It would be interesting to see Kamita try to date a pure hard-boiled woman (>.<)

It was a nice episode. Learnt a lot about the various characters.


  • Tsuneki is a compulsive liar. I hope it comes back to bite her.
  • Ruise has to deal with shit like the Home EC every day, no wonder why she's so uptight.
  • Shiori was not a good president
  • Neither are the clone girls at their jobs. Also half-assing requests from other clubs.
  • No-one knows anything about romance
  • Moe-nee's advice from the last episode is the best advice given so far
  • Kyouko still feels like a child, getting flustered with Love Hotels, as is Tsuneki.
  • Kyouko will have to go through a lot more trouble fixing up Shouchi's broken heart, thanks Tsuneki!
  • Shouchi manning up, too bad Kyouko didn't expect his internet browsing history to pop up.
  • Ikuo ditching Shouchi and Inago Mask for his crush. Expected, but didn't have to say that spending time with a girl is more enjoyable.

Now that you mentioned it, I did rewatch Amagami a couple of times to see the references connect and what I've summed up is that Amagami is better put together than Seiren convincingly hands down. So far it's not even close.

I kinda like the similarities between the Seiren and Amagami childhood friend arc... tea ceremony club.. home econ club.. always 3 girls.. damn.. even the sempais look the same.. both take advantage of the heroine.. heroine does cooking and gets the MC to try it her food.. wears the same kimono.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Even girls I didn't particularly like had arcs that were enjoyable to watch. And Juinchi is a much better protag. Kyouko's arc is the only one so far that is even comparable to Amagami (in my opinion). The pacing of Seiren sucks and the romance is very poorly developed. I don't really have high hopes for the rest of the arcs but I'll watch them anyway because that girl from the elite school interests me.

Interesting episode


Hmm so Shouichi and his sister used to spend Christmas with Kyouko and her family eh.
Wow she has to train for five years before she can bake a cake eh. I hope that Kyouko is able to fit in the club though. Lol Hikari words about venison being nice being used against her. Well Hikari has no shortage of fans that will do the hard work for her lol.
Hmm Christmas eve eh. Seems Christmas eve is a day that's pretty popular here. Hmm so Shoichi's friend's been in love with the same girl since grade school eh and was fortunate to meet her again in cram school. I guess we all have to grow up eventually. Things that may have been fun when you were little aren't so anymore. This is just one of many steps that one goes through as they grow up. Its nice that Shoichi realizes this and supports his friend. So each of these stories in the anime are self contained ones then eh.

Seems that the Public morals committee is being pretty hard on the Home EC club then.
Seems the head of the PMC is pretty strung upon on rules eh. Isn't that like blackmail though as using that will cause Shiori to get a bad report. Hmm so that Kyoko that was asleep on the sofa eh. Really didn't recognize her lol. Its nice seeing them both blush when Kyoko is having Shoichi taste her food though. Hmm so while the seniors do the decorating the first years do the baking eh. Sound fair enough. Asking Hikari to recommend a Christmas eve date plan eh. I guess love is still beyond him eh. Hikari's reaction on realizing what Shoichi was asking though was funny. Well i guess that search was surprising for both of them lol. Wow that Christmas decoration design though. That would explain the reaction of the PC chair. Lol Kyoko's idea of using underwear though.
Kyoko looks cute when she's pouting though. Pj's are made to look baggy lol. Hmm an only child though can get lonely at times though and i can why Kyoko is so envious of Shoichi who has Tomoe. Its nice that Shoichi realizes this and in the end gives her something that belongs to his but no longer fits. Lol Kyoko's reaction on seeing that hotel ad though. Kyouko seems reluctant to progress on though. Kyouko still isn't clear on how she sees Shouichi then eh. Kyokou's reaction on realizing that her seniors saw all that was pretty cute. I think even the seniors did not expect the level of questions that Kyouko could ask when she gets serious. Hmm so the adviser that they had in mind was Hikari eh. Hikari sure knows a lot about deer lol. Hmm they really have the wrong idea about Shouichi eh. But still i think Kyoko is pretty clear about her feelings for Shouichi now.

Tsuneki's really been quite the main character despite not being her arc. Oh Tsuneki, her advice ended up causing a mess xD
She looks so pretty when she's blushing and I also prefer her ponytail over her hair down.

Kyoko is very fun to watch. Her expressions, her personality, indeed she's the Rihoko of this show.
Them girls should know better than to leave stuff on, Sanjo is just looking out for the students. That Christmas tree picture was hilarious. Kyouko mentioning panties xD
This arc by far is the most enjoyable.
So now it's Kyouko who has to go after Kamita and make up. Both seem honest with each other's feelings. It'll be a fun next episode.

Kamita savage when he told Kyouko he didn't want his Locust Mask PJ's drenched in Kyouko's pee xD
