I don't think it was her classroom friends. I think it was just some random girls.

An enjoyable episode. I really like it. They begin to feel something each other but at my perception they don't really know what is.

I really struggle watching romances without pausing.

Nothing really special, but no big flaws neither. Many characters for this kind of show yet much of them are memorable within two weeks, that's commendable

Can't quite put my finger on the animation, it feels like cgi although it could just be choppy frames. The bright lines on the character designs remind me of Sora Yori which is nice.

Two episodes in, really liking this series so far. The two main characters seem very sweet and the little situation with the toy was nice. Looking forward to how the story plays on moving forward. And the OP and ED are really good and fitting

Still boring. Male MC is lame. Female MC is not as pretty as usual anime girls. Both of the MCs blew it in the races.

Uhm... I can smell a love square in the distance... well, I guess it was to be expected. I just hope it to be handled in a decent way.

Other than that, it was a good episode, more eventful that the first one and the overall direction of the scenes was executed in a pleasant way as well.

The scene where they were messaging each other was also quite sweet and relatable as hell.

The after credit shorts were nice although I wasn't expecting so many of them in such short period of time. It felt a bit abrupt if I'm honest.

Akane is so cuteee and I love her because I wasn't expecting at the ending for her to actually smile and talk like that when the boy gave her "toy" back.

I love how realistic is portraying the growth of their relationship, really enjoyed that episode. I didn't agree with that Dazai quote where other people can't influence you which is definitely not true, I'm glad Azumi realized that as well.

I have to laugh at all the people saying this anime is unrealistic, do they even remember being a teenager? Because I do, and aside from the distinct lack of boys calling each other ginger gaylords and smoking behind the bike shed it's spot on. Even the adolescent banter and casual conversation feels natural, which is one of the hardest things to write unless you are still at that stage in life.

This is a school anime with all the things I hate about modern anime removed. No cringe worthy slapstick tsundere "humour", no gratuitous fanservice, just beautiful animation, considered character development and an excellent eye for detail. Yet half the comments on the first episode said it was "boring" with "No plot" because it wasn't shoved in their faces. Sad, sad times indeed.

Lovely follow up episode to the first one. From seeing how Akane and Kotarou text each other, to the whole sports festival itself where Kotarou was looking for Akane's plush which she lost and was nervous the entire time without it, to him finding it and giving it to her further making their friendship feel more comfortable and trustworthy around each other, the gradual slow-build development of their relationship is a joy to watch. Kotarou telling that Akane was fine the way she was, was a lovely message too given she embarrassed herself in the relay race without being comforted by her plush. Words indeed can help sometimes.

Loved the episode. This show's portrayal of adolescence is quite realistic. How Kotarou stares at Akane slightly awkwardly, including awkwardly looking at her body without the reactions being over the top or even nosebleeds. I found the last scene to be especially sweet, when they started talking on LINE. It really reminds me of middle school. That was definitely the kind of reaction I had when the girl I liked first talked to me on LINE. That really captured it well.

The post-ending scenes though! I ship the Sensei with Roman!

It's quite mixed with some drama elements but it's still cute and wholesome so far, sure that the sports festival can be though but it just feels realistic, Akane and Kotarou are really cute together

Kotarou totally checks Chinatsu out while she's holding his hand to look at the scratch.

Hira's acting kinda arrogant, easily winning his race against non track-team members...trying to make yourself look good at the expense of others can backfiire...

I really love how Akane comes alive when she's talking to Curly-kun. She perked up in an instant, along with how she was reunited with her potato thing :). I'm hoping they have this good of a dynamic throughout the series.

It would be a better episode if the first episode did not exist at all. Their interactions would be more natural.
