Oh, now I'm confused, like, seriously, Now everyone suddenly knows Yanagi and acts very friendly with him when they barely knew him, let alone whatever happened between him and Izumi, which, frankly I can't remember what happened between them.

Now Honoka suddenly gets shoved back into the story after being left forgotten for episodes and seems like her is trying to be more open to males (?????) Not just that, seems like she's partially interested in Iura, and on top of that, we also got backstory from Iura and his younger sister which is now suddenly showed here.

What is it with this anime way of introducing characters and characters arc like this? there is no sense of direction, things are happening randomly in disorder, one scene you have 2 characters, then you have other 2 characters there, then it switches back... excuse me but what the fuck is going on at Cloverworks?

Sawada was cute today, love how she still clings to Miyamura like a big brother.. at school no less.

Honestly didn't mind the sibling relationship being shown here, however... In no circumstance should a teacher laugh at your grades, especially when you put so much effort into it. That somehow pissed me off. Can't blame Iura for feeling the same way.

I do miss the Hori x Miyamura moments, they are only declining..

I feel like this episode was a total waste of my time. Whats happened to this show? Everything just felt trivial this week, also far to many male side characters being introduced with little distinction except hairstyles. It feels like the series will fade out at this point.

Shun is an example of a good brother to his sister, but it's funny that his sister doesn't know her brother's behavior outside the house hahaha.

Toru wanna know why Akane is casual with Yuki, jealous? lol

Tsundere blushing af Izumi thinking that Akane will steal his close friends is cute. lmao

So Sawada and Shu are the pairs, kinda total opposite but they might work. Shu's personality is really different when he's at school (extremely loud) and when he's at home (timid and cool). Nevertheless, he's a really good brother for cheering up her sister. Teachers shouldn't laugh because of their students' grades, that's so wrong in many levels.

I personally disliked episode 11. I thought the series as a whole was really great up till sometime within the past couple episodes as it began to fall off. Its great that they want to get into the different side characters, but its a little rough when we have this great story between Hori and Miyamura that I would like to see flushed out over 12 episodes, but then we have ten side characters that are all probably great, but we're trying to get in-depth over them.

That thought aside, I didn't like this episode because of its first half. I understand that they were trying to better establish Iura before going into the relationship with his sister, but I feel the episode's feel and pacing could've gone better. I haven't read the manga although I hope to one day, but the first half of this episode felt like a bunch of random shorts put together in a sequence just because they involved Iura. They felt random and were all separated by the snowflakes image, but it just didn't feel like a good episode flow. I still enjoyed the second half quite a bit though.

I think it was a nice episode, i like how Iura wasn’t sugarcoating his sister when she felt sad but he wasn’t giving up on her either. I like this anime, it’s like a breather from all my other anime that tend to stress me out 😅

The show was rising in quality in the last 3 episodes and it was almost sure for me to give an 8/10. But man, that was pretty mediocre. Please, don't ruin it now since it's almost in the end

This was weird episode... or should I say the part A was really weird, almost like done by completely different studio.
I didn't enjoy the forced comedy at all. Also, it felt kinda random.

The part B on the other hand was pretty good again and getting to know Yanagi's little sister was good thing. She won't be probably joining the cast though as they are all in third year already. But I still hope for her success, not for Higashi but for their school, let's hope Hori's tutoring works (kinda wonder why she hesitated a bit before she entered her own room though, did she wanted to have own nii-san too?)

Funny thing though, we are at volume 13 of the manga, already.

i am simply just puzzled by the direction as a anime only beating the same dead horse about the pacing but we legit time traveled in the span of 2 episodes that made the most of the episode such a mess to watch ,for starters i was like wait whose Shu oh you mean the loud dude that's been in the background this whole season why is the pretty boy way closer to everyone now? ,our girl Sakura is totally fine and genki which is great but we saw her in such a bad state only a week ago but it turns out by the snow image cuts we've gone from spring to winter?!

also Sawada exist if you forgot about her one time appearance

Jeez, the comedic timing during the first half was totally atrocious.

Second half was slightly better but seriously, Shuu was around since the beginning of the show and now they decide to introduce his character properly? Honestly, way too late for me to even care about him and his newfound little sister. Which is a real shame since their bond could have been handled way better if we knew they existed beforehand.

Honestly forgot about the green haired dude until this episode. Seems that he has no impact to the story so far, and he's supposed to be funny? Would've been better if they show it rather than tell.

I think they shot themselves on the foot here, they introduced so many characters that there's no room for character interactions, only character development. And they're both important because you don't care about character development if you don't see them interacting with another character.

Honestly feel it would've been better if they just removed some of the side characters.

Are they going to return to Sawada subplot before the anime ends? It could be used in this episode with the brother-sister relationship but they forgot. What a waste of content lol.

Now this is the kind of episode that justifies the high rating I mean they showed all the characters and also gave good screen time to hori and miyamura even though not as a couple but their individual interactions were very heart warming. Loved to see sawada back and imo lura and lil sisters story is the best out of all the side characters.
When he said that he would beat the shit out of the teacher was a pretty powerful scene to be honest and we've got hori back in top form the way she talked to Lura's sister made me remember that she's the best older sister a person can have and not a masochistic overly protective rage monster(not insulting Hori is fire)

Yanagin ♡__________♡

I love the trio when they are together, Tooru, Miyamura & Sengoku!!!! It’s a pity they didn’t animate their weird dreams trolllolol I have given up hope waiting for that.

I think they adapted Shuu’s & his sister’s chapters really well. What a good brother who cares so much for her♡ I love how he is so different towards her.

I was hoping they would adapt the school festival/sports arc but seeing as how far ahead they are....hmmm. I wonder what else they are going to include & how exactly are they going to end the anime.

This was probably the worst episode of the season so far.

It felt like they were really trying to stretch out the content of this episode by having unnaturally long pauses during and after dialouge, as well as inserting a couple seconds of snow imagery between scenes.

I don’t hate that we got an episode focusing on Shuu and his sister instead of Hori & Miyamura. However, it feels out of place this far into the season for a character that hardly had any screentime so far.
I definitely disagree I think one thing this anime does that most other romance animes don't is expanding upon the stories of the side characters. This show in my opinion has one of the best showings of all of the supporting cast and the show itself is about Miyamura and Hori's relationship but it differentiates itself from other romances by going so far in depth into these side characters. If you are looking for another romance that is only about the single relationship between the main two characters then this show is not for you.

I actually do enjoy the side characters in this series, my issue isn’t that this anime gives them their own stories. My issue is that this anime bounces around too much and doesn’t maintain a main core. Getting all of this side character development would be much better if they occurred around the Hori and Miyamura relationship, instead of getting a bunch of Hori & Miyamura episodes to start and then pumping out episodes focusing on side characters.

This makes the anime feel like it lacks a sense of direction and does a disservice to the side characters that had an episode the previous week, because their problems and revelations are forgotten in the next episode.

For example, after Yuki’s big episode last week she isn’t even seen in this episode and instead we get an episode about a side character that has barely had any lines when the season is almost completed. It would have been better if the side character’s stories came naturally as we follow Hori & Miyamura’s relationship.

This would require more than 13 episodes, but the side character’s stories would be more compelling because we would be more familiar with them and they could get their chances to shine instead of just getting a highlight reel episode.

Yeah i can understand that they should push the stories of Miyamura and Hori within these backstories and development of the supporting cast. And also revisit all of the other characters and not just instantly forget about them.

At this point, it just feels like this show is mindless nonsense. I mean is there even a plot? Or a story? Or anything at all? Like, last week we had an episode about Toru and Yuki's relationship and this week we have story about a side character that nobody remembers? Also, what happened to that guy who was Miyamura's enemy but then became his friend? For the future, I suggest people just watch the first 4 episodes cause after that this show is a mess.

Frick yes, another anime that does the little sister RIGHT. And by “right” I basically mean not overly annoying lol. If you want an example just look back at the beginning of the episode to see what hori’s expectation was of shuu’s sister and there you have it. Basic imouto. Only other anime that immediately comes to mind is kaguya sama

Ah Motoko-chan is finally here. She's been here for only one episode but if anyone displeases her I'll punch em. PROTECC her.

The Iura siblings had their own way of expressing familial love. Hope they get more scenes. Especially the Motoko-chan's friend arc.

This was a really cute episode, I rlly liked it. I just think the writers or whatever are trying to mush everything into 13 episodes instead of letting things flow. The way things are going with that is making me think that there might not be a second season which I’m very disappointed about because I rlly wanted a season 2. I also, would like to see more of hori and miyamura. Like this show is about them and u see very little of them together now that we’re getting closer to the end of the season.
