Another episode focused on Satoru huh?

I like how it focuses more on Kendo and without Haru following him around at school. Kengo is serious business! Being Satoru is tough..

LOL, i'm like watching Kuroko with kagami (seiyuu same / their height, too). Satoru was so cute being dragged around by Captain.

I really like this ep on Satoru's development. Watched twice!

I also think it was nice to see Satoru coming out of his shell a little more. It seems moving to the shrine and switching schools is working out the best for him.

So now Seishirou knows that Hiwako will be at the Purification Ceremony, yet he is afraid of shrines since his traumatic childhood experience. I laughed at that part.

The captain is a really nice, down-to-earth kind of guy.

Very nice SOL episode, very understated as all good SOL are. "You look pale, are you eating enough?" "Of course I am, now." That "now" of course saying a lot without saying a lot.

Looking forward to the next episode, hope they cover a purification ritual, love when they show something like this in detail. Paper wands and hopefully a kagura.

Can always count on Sugita to voice all the loopy characters.

I can almost see what's going to happen on the last two episodes.

12: the ceremony

A pity this series is ending though. Hope there's a season 2.

I have ever heard that very young children sometimes can see spirits that adults cannot see. It's likely that they were really young and happened to see a Tengu (crow) herald.

The only way to know if the heralds could be seen by those two would be to see if they could see the Fox spirits.

SATORU. He is my best male character for this Fall.

His face expression is priceless imo. Straight , confused , eyes looking up , annoyed , everything.

Great episode that focused on Satoru , 5/5.

Satoru's made a friend. I like Taisuke!
I was cracking up when Taisuke and the President were talking about how they got chased around by a bird monster wearing a kimono when they were kids. Turns out it was a herald. I wonder if they'll be able to see Gin and Haru when they visit the shrine for the summer purification festival.
I want to be Tatsuo's next wife!

Dang, now I can't point out that guys can be friends without sex mucking things up; just like the 4 girls are friends without yuri overtones...

Well, without too many yuri overtones... which exist only in my imagination...

Oh never mind then! ;-)
It's a very good series! I had high hopes and they've been exceeded!

Yes, both these last two episodes were focused on my favorite characters ^^ Nice character development once again for Satoru, it's great that Kinu-chan is such a nice and fun senpai so that they became friends. Not only that, but Satoru also learned that he can be selfish and do both things he wants to do, and that it's okay for kendo to be second. Another nice and relaxing episode.

Also, I never noticed how short Satoru was until this episode when they kept emphasizing it and then when he stood next to his senpai. How cute. I love how the girls nicknamed him ouji and Satoru was completely oblivious to it. Next episode looks like a lot fun!

A prince and The Kendo Captain. I loved their interactions, another character development for Satoru. Man, He's really that popular among the girls.


The preview for ep 11 looks interesting. I hope ep 12 will be about that firework scene on the OP.. It'd be great for a final episode.

Shh, you. There I was, thinking that for the whole episode Kinu is hitting hard on Satoru. Yes, you can cast stones at me now. The yaoi fangirl in me didn't want to shut up about it.

Satoru is starting to melt
Taisuke aka Kinu chan is such an awesome bro
his posture reminded me of Sakamichi no Apollon

It surprised me his other friend is Seishiru the student council president
I did like him saying being the king when all the girls refer Saturo being the prince

A date with my senpai?!?!?! Kyaaaaaaaaaa~
Damn, Satoru is popular with the ladies, just like me oh yeahh.
Satoru looks like Rin, just put some fangs, elf ears, and make his hair messy then tada......blue flames also.
Ahhh, this episode made me think of my future too. What do I want to do in the future???? Of course still watching ANIME ahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kinu is such a cool guy, and he has a precious family.
Satoru aka Ouji has some friends now, good for him. I was going to say "because I am the king" but Kirishima said it for me.
This episode, for some reason, feels different to me. It feels like a normal slice of life Anime episode, but that's just me, probably because I had to pause the video and go out to buy something.

But what a great episode this time.
The plot leads to characterize a little more the protagonists, focusing more on Satoru that to tell the truth, it is also the best one.
But is not limited to this.
Drawings and animations good.

A Satoru heavy episode. His senpai's right to urge him to continue kendo. Makoto has thoughts of her future in this one too...looks like there'll be more on that next.

Really great episode! Loved the focus on Satoru and his newfound friend the kendo captain :D Not to mention how he knows the Student President ;P Glad that he was convinced to keep doing kendo. Plus another bonus = less Haru! Thought we'd get a whole episode without her but unfortunately not :(
I can relate to Makoto's worries about the future and seems like next episode will be about that. Even now I still have no idea what I'm doing ... >_<
Animation seemed really good this episode for some reason ... better than usual :O Maybe I'm just going crazy lol XD
