Well, it's quite obvious that Kouko found out about Banri's past with Linda but, she doesn't say anything because she trusts Banri.

Also, I feel sooooo bad for Banri, seeing him with so many doubts ..
I have this feeling that something really BAD will happen.

Oh, still rooting for Kouko x Banri, Lindafags are horrible people.

This far into it, I have no feeling whatsoever toward the boring MC, Koko, or Linda... I'm kind of disappointed in the character design, considering this is somewhat a successor to Toradora.

To be honest, the story didn't progress much with this episode. Although it wasn't a drag to watch (I was surprised how quick it ended), all that really happened is that Tada was his old self again for like 10 seconds (predictable), caught a fever, and a bit of character development. It all felt a bit stretched out, like the same events could've happened in 10 minutes instead of 20.

But oh well, we got 14 more episodes, so I'm not too worried about anything. It's really the episode itself that was a bit disappointing, but it wasn't all that bad.

Linda & Kaga differences:

-Linda = calm, laid-back, down-to-earth, caring

-Kaga = loud, bitchy, controlling... but willing to change

I've taken a liking to Linda so much that I want to emulate her. Maybe Kaga can learn a thing about being a good girlfriend from Linda.

I hope that Linda doesn't end up with the current Banri cuz she deserves better. The current Banri is just too indecisive on what he wants & pities himself. If his former self returns, then maybe I'd approve him.

so did Kouko really have a cold? it already seemed like she was just trying to avoid Banri for some reason then in this episode she shows up and looks fine but she apparently didn't tell Banri she was better

I'm excited for the beach episode now


I guess, Kouko found the photo of Banri with Linda. She use the excuse that she was sick to hide her feeling.

Of course he can't confess to Linda or vice versa because it would kill Kouko's character and end the anime.

This episode sure felt rather fast. It wasn't any good but any bad either, just average. I am not sure I like all that comedy that regularly destroys drama situation. But the rest of the episode, mainly the talk Kaga x Tada, was good.

And why do I have the feeling that their promise will be broken?

Such difficult choice. Linda vs Kouko
Both girls care about him a lot. Kouko is physically attracted to Banri, as show by their kissing and other physical closeness. Linda attraction to Banri is still uncertain. Girls tend to be not attracted to someone with less power than them, as why nice guy failed so much. She treated him like a little brother that need to be taken care of during Highschool. Also, When Banri asked her one more time for her answer to his confession, she did said no, but that could be possible lie to protect Banri's current relationship.

Physical beauty don't really matter as this is anime, and they pretty much just different hair and eye color. I personally like Linda design more as her character seem more down to earth. I don't really like girls that dress up too much.

Bonding. Banri and Linda have such a strong emotional bond. They support each through difficult time since little. Their friendship is even tried and tested through major misunderstanding. If my best friend talk about me like that to other classmate, I don't think he or she can be my best friend ever again. Overall, their bond is strong and reliable. However, Banri's bond with Kouko is still relatively new and is mostly build by Banri supporting Kouko, and she have yet done anything emotionally important for him yet. They need more time to build that bond and test it.

Other benefit. Kouko is rich... enough said.

Finally. I conclude my preference.
Logical choice will be Kouko because she already love Banri and is Rich.
Physically and Emotional choice will be Linda because of their strong emotional bond and my preference for Linda's design and personality.
Overall, fuk logic, (っ◕‿◕)っ♥ Linda♥

Can they really just take a character from one anime and put them in a completely unrelated anime. Same name and look, but a slightly different personality. It's strange.


Good episode though, lots of romance.

Am I the only one who feels that by going to the beach Kouko wants to get closer to Banri sexually? Because like in the other episode when Kouko said she thought Paris was the perfectly romantic place to do it....

In this episode she said, "It doesn't have to be Paris."
"Komugi, are you there?"

It was a perfect episode until Kouko made her appearace.. Psh.
The possession of ghost Banri didn't last, such a downer. I was hoping for ghost Banri to do some damage, but it seems like drama of that caliber is still too early for this series.

Banri X Linda moments are refreshing and it feels more like they are the real couple.
On the other hand, moments with Kouko feels fake and constrained for some reason.

Omfg I love Kouko x Banri so much. That "It doesn't have to be Paris" took my breath. And I'm actually happy because I know they're gonna end up together. Linda was cute as fuck this episode, I'm impressed on how much she can hide her real feelings. I've changed my perspective about her. Can't wait for the next episode!

Beginning to like Kouko a lot more. The only thing is how she acts when she's with others, it's entirely different from how she is when she's alone with Banri. The former is indeed fun to watch however it just makes her seem annoying. Hoping that this aspect of her personality can change later on in the series, which would definitely make me ship for Kouko x Banri.

That's what I was implying in my post. In fact I assumed that I was the only one who DIDN'T understand that implication upon first viewing. The real question is whether she's doing it because she has outgrown her silly fantasies and feels like they're ready to take the relationship to the next level, or if she's just doing it as a desperate attempt to win Banri over from Linda. The whole story with the photo on the shelf seems to strongly imply the latter, but I can see how some people would interpret it as the former.

Linda is perfect <3 That bit with her taking care of Banri felt so real, they just match.

"There's no way Tada-kun would cheat on me. Tada-kun, you totally love me." Also with how Koko thanked Linda saying "as his girlfriend," you can really tell she's insecure, especially with Linda. No doubt about it, she found that picture. She knows.

I feel like that too. I can't really see Kouko the way Banri sees her. She doesn't seem to love him at all.

Good episode. For a second I honestly thought the old Banri was basically taking over with his feelings. I'm rooting for Linda, but I would've been a bit disappointed if he was in total control. Really glad he just realizes his feelings for Linda though AND Kouko.. This is going to be great. Can't wait for next week!

The "It doesn't have to be Paris" was actually very subtle if they refer it for making love. I had to go here to see if everyone was thinking the same thing and yet very few people thought about it...

I have a feeling the promise will be broken or cancelled somehow,thus, more drama.

This episode made me dropped the rating from a 10 to an 8.

Most people in the forum are saying this is Ghost Banri, but I assumed that the old Banri came back after falling and hurting his chin. He kept asking, "What just happened?" afterwards and even said that Ghost Banri was there, causing him to think about Linda. So was it him?

Also, Kokou annoyed the hell outta me. First line: "You're cheating," and what's the deal with her and Mitsuo hating each other when she's supposed to be over him? I just don't get it.

I'm not sure if you are referring "old" Banri as the one we've seen since episode 1. If so then yes, his memories are lost again but the feelings remains.

Oh boy the drama is coming, I can feel it with my soap opera detector....ok I don't have one, but that would be funny... I want more! Every episode I can't help but want to know what happens next! Ughg! I should have waited until this show ended the anticipation is killing me. I want to know the route he's going to take, this doesn't seem like your typical run of the mill anime so I'm not sure he's going to go with the person you think he is.

I was laughing towards the end because I came up with a theory. What if they decide to share him! When ghost banri comes linda gets him, when amnesia banri is there it's kokous turn! What an awkward relationship that would be.

Can't wait to see more. What do you guys think is going to happen??

I like her straight forwardness. In fact I enjoy it. I feel like it's completely realistic. If another woman was taking care of my boyfriend you damn right I'd be jealous, not only that she admitted it to him. With Linda in his highschool days he pretty much had to guess what she was thinking, or "read between the lines" I am one to encourage communication. By the way when Mitsuo walked in with 2d kun and they had that bouquet and were arguing who was going to get married next I was dying. That shit was funny. I don't think that Mitsuo and Kokou hate each other, I think they act almost like brother and sister. They have known each other since they were young and sometimes people have conflicting personalities. They hang out with the same group, they are going to see each other.

You got a point. I'd be jealous, too. I feel like she's trying her best to avoid expressing any hate or jealousy towards Linda like when she repeatedly said "I, your girlfriend" in her face. I guess that's a mature move to be friendly towards her. I'm still confused as to why she was crazy about Mitsuo for years and immediately went for his best friend. It's odd to switch to a bro-and-sis relationship. However, maybe this anime is about Kouko maturing or something. I'll look at it that way from now on.
