For humor's sake, Haru makes a lovable character despite actually being violet and possessive. Though I think Yamaken is much better suited for Shizuku.

My favorite moment in the episode would be the part where Natsume said "Oshima-san is fine because she knows her place!". That made me lol hard.

Another hilarious episode.

I'm not impressed with Haru whatsoever. If this was real life any sane woman would dump his ass... he's almost like a stalker now. I feel bad for Yamaken.

Well it is nice that Shizuku finally said that to Haru at the end, but it looks like Yamaken is going to interfere whether he wants to or not.

Haru is totally impulsive, with about the same ability to think things through before acting as a four-year-old.

Yamaken is cold and manipulative. Don't forget how he and his "friends" were exploiting Haru when Mitty first met them.

There's a chance that Haru will grow up at some point, even though he may not be prime boyfriend material right now. Yamaken isn't going to change--psychopaths see no reason to do so since it works so well for them. If you want a nice, stable boyfriend in this show you'd go with Sasahara, who appears to have been totally friend-zoned by every female in a 100 klick radius.

Of course, Haru is as weird and possessive as ever. Shizuku had better get used to it, she's signed herself up for his crazy antics by confessing (albeit for a second time).

The dialogue of everyone during the Christmas party was hilarious xD god I love this shows humor.
Kinda hard to see where this show is going to end up. I feel like they go one step forward and one step back every episode, its kind of annoying. I cant really see this ending conclusively, especially since the manga's ongoing, but I guess it could happen. Wouldn't be surprised if there ends up being a second season.

I love this anime but i'm kind of getting tired of Haru and Shizuku's relationship. I'm more interested in the Mi-chan, Sasayan and Natsume thing going on. With only 3 episodes left I doubt they'll release one that revolves around those three though. :(

Pretty much this. Even the support characters do nothing. The show urgently needs story development after the flying start, else it gets boring rather quickly.

Haru is way too possessive... a borderline yandere?

This being a comedy I don't expect him to ever actually try to kill anyone, but he still got one seriously ugly trait.

The hell, that scene when Haru intended to push the blonde guy over the balcony was scary.

And damn, Natsume, my fav girl is just cute as always, all dat blushing scenes ... I believe sasahara showed some affection towards her cause he felt like he was lost against Misawa. And, what happened to the Xmas present? I hope it wasn't the cake and she gave it to Misawa. Gonna hope for that happens.

I think differently. This is one of many strong points about Tonari. The best point is that: all the characters are honest to themselves and to others(unlike many shoujo where you have the girl suffers/cries silently and the dude doesn't know until someone tells him). And not being serious makes it easier to blend in the comedy and romance developments, and it's refreshing to watch. I don't want Tonari turns into something dramatic. Sukitte is enough already. I'm a shoujo fan as well, my face when watching Tonari was like :), on the other hand, when seeing Sukitte my face is like :|, too much cliche that you couldn't feel the char's feelings at all.

This is so unrealistic... Haru is idiot, in the first place, thinking only about himself and not listening what others say. And Shizuku too for giving him a chance after what he is doing.
For a sec I was thinking she wants to tell him it's all over that would be logical result of this situation (he is getting annoying more and more). But it wasn't meant to happen. And when she already told of her love to him they should kiss, start dating each other or just someting.. This way it is getting more and more ridiculous (and I'm losing my interest in this anime faster and faster)

I don't like Yamaken really but he is at least thinking about what he can do. But shame for him - some girls are always getting those weird types. In a way, Haru is similiar to her father and girls usually prefer boys with same character or looks.

Haru has no idea of how to be in a relationship. Childish and possessive, he doesn't try to understand Shizuku's priorities Even though Yamaken does nothing for me as a character, he'd probably make better boyfriend material for Shizuku than Haru.

It was an okay episode during the beginning and middle but better at the end. I do agree with Marzan though, Haru really doesn't know how to be in a relationship but maybe he probably isn't really taking it seriously at all. He still comes off as a comic relief character to me based on his reaction to her still going to cram school. Even though Shizuku already told him that she loves him and doesn't have to worry he is still flipping a lid over nothing.

natsume's christmas party was hilarious, this show never fails to make me laugh but haru is kind of annoying me lately...
i thought that during the show we would have a moment where haru would start "fixing" himself, but i almost dont see any progress in his personality!!! it's a little frustrating since i want shizuku and haru to be together, but i think haru the way he is now would do more harm than good to her.

i like his character and all but when its about shizuku he's most of the time just annoying/creepy.

Poor Yamaken. I kind of feel bad for him. He's up against someone who is kind of naive and oblivious, yet he has no chance.
I kind of feel bad for Oshima too. However, it was pretty epic when Natsume said that she knows her place!

I loved when Haru blurted out Yamaken likes Shizuku. Facial expression win. He's lucky Shizuku is as oblivious as Haru when it comes to love because he's doing a pretty bad job of hiding it =D

Aside from Micchan blushing, Natsume was pretty awesome this week. There's something not quite right about how the show has shown Natsume's feelings.

A great episode overall!

I mean WTF? Haru's jealous, controlling, violent. What about that is cute? That's just sick. What's wrong with people? I guess it's those women that say "but he did it because he loves me" after they've been beaten up by their boyfriends.


Yeah its pretty damn sick. He's basically a control freak. If they was married she would run away from him. Haru would injure anybody male if they tried to flirt with her.


Exactly! Also, @UtsukushiiYume I understand your point about Haru's personality, and you're 100% correct but what we've all been waiting for- at least by this episode- is that Haru would try to change his violent attitude and ways. He even KNOWS he should change, and needs to change especially if he wants to win over Shizuku because Shizuku herself has stated on multiple occasions that she doesn't like it when he's violent. Why is he clearly ignoring her wishes and feelings? If he really cared about her, and if he were really growing up alongside Shizuku who has decided to recognize the feelings she has for him (emotions which even her brain doesn't understand), he'd try to be less violent and more understanding. Although he has no 'real experience' with friends and relationships, it's been 10 episodes. He has SOME experience and a lot of people to rely on by now and therefore there's no excuse for most his childish behavior. It's not cute.

haru looks so scary. *scared*. and he's also an idiot. "then you won't go to prep school right?" *quote* but somehow, for the past 10 episode, i can't shake the feeling that i'm starting to like haru and his crazy behaviour. *it's really weird* . And, shizuku is really cute this episode, especially at the christmast party *when she was eating* and she was conffesing to haru *before haru said something stupid that is. lol*. natsume-chan is really cute also this episode. the way she sulk, blush, and scold was drawn perfectely. The jokes is the same as always, refreshing *no argument there right?*. The only set back is that the story is finally become interesting but there were only 3 ep left *what's with that!?*. There's still a few thing that I didn't say but in conclusion, I think this is a great episode.

Finally! Shizuku finally makes up her mind! But Haru hasn't evolved one bit! Heck, we were even hinted that he might have thrown Yamaken off the stairs for liking Shizuku. What is up with the random violence?! Even Yamaken was violent, but towards Natsume which is really going to lather up some hate for his character. I don't understand why the producers are using violence to show that both boys like the girl and etc. It's not cute at all. It just makes me feel disturbed. The only good guy here was Sasayan, he casually just realizes what he feels but doesn't go stabbing or revealing it to Mitsuyoshi. Instead, he just acknowledges his feelings and walks away. They should have a boys' talk or something with Sasayan lecturing Haru on how to act like a real man for the woman he loves instead of just caging her in =.= And what's up with Natsume and Mitsuyoshi now? Why are we adding in another love triangle here? Why does everyone have to fall in love?

Haru's really ridiculous now. I don't see any progress in the relationship, there was no moment of understanding or even a random epiphany, all there was were a bunch of love triangles, some random gang guys, touchy feely Oshima and Natsume, and freaky violent Yamaken and Haru. I don't understand how they're going to wrap this up with three more episodes. What is this 'pause point' they've established in the manga? Where is the character growth? It's been about 6 or so months in the anime, why are they still stuck that way? When are Haru and Shizuku going to have a REAL talk where they discuss what their relationship is and what it's about and how they'll treat each other and etc? Why is it just Shizuku saying "yeah I love you" and Haru glad and then that's it? I'd rather they just do nothing and go back to normal everyday hang out routines than Haru going all controlling boyfriend on her >.<

simple. because haru is an idiot.

Indeed. Absolutely zero character growth on Haru's part. He's such a fucking lunatic that even Yamaken seems like a gentleman in comparison. But hey! Its all good! Shizuku loves Haru so we should too.....right?

Everyone in this series is just too cute. Ah, but noooo! >.< I didn't like Yamaken this much in the manga! I really love him in the anime, but I don't want to because Haru x Shizuku is still my OTP and I don't want to feel bad for Yamaken. And... I actually started feeling bad for him. Haru's possessiveness annoyed me a bit in this episode. I think part of it was his voice though (I still don't particularly like the pick for his VA).

Also, needs more Sasayan and Natsume. Shoot, I'd watch a whole anime centered on Natsume. She's my baby.
