I was a bit shocked at Kokoro an Kippei's actions on the stairs. I hope Kippei finds Yuzuyu fast.

I was surprised too, but it was way too sweet. I hope Yuzuyu figures out that Kokoro and her can both share Kippei. There is enough of him to go around, at least to those two.

Poor Yuzuyu. I hope he finds her soon!

ii knew things would get complicated after last episode

"I am the bone of my sword,
Steel is my body and Fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to Death,
Nor known to Life,
Have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet, those hands will never hold anything,
So as I pray, unlimited blade works"

Show is getting pretty silly. Making out and groping on the floor in the middle of a staircase? Classy. Sigh I hope things stop being so derp soon. It was nice and sweet up until last episode.

For real? In the stairs? And the school, she escaped again.. how much of common sense can this anime lack..

Would you let your kid go to a school like that?
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant.

idk, when I watched it I didn't understand it either. I just chalked it up to cultural differences. I even googled Japanese views on sexuality and didn't really find any answers other than it seems like they are not as up tight about sex as the western world.

The stairway action did seem to push this more in the direction of josei rather than shoujo genre, but I think it probably reflects how teenagers actually relate to each other in high school. They're both above the age of consent, so I wouldn't doubt that at some point they'll end up in Kokoro's apartment (saving money on a love hotel). By grade 11 the majority of North American students are sexually active (can't remember the citation for the studies I've seen, but as a former high school teacher it tallies with my observations), so the major difference may be the social attitudes. I think Kokoro's friends' reactions probably reflect what the reality is (inappropriate location where others can see you). Would it have been as much a shock if it was in the gym equipment room, the school stage, or an empty music room (the traditional locations for a high school tryst)?
Please don't feed the trolls!

The stairway action definitely did NOT put this in the direction of josei... If you are under the assumption that references to sex and the like are not common of Shoujo than you clearly haven't seen enough shoujo. Its alot more common for things like that to come up in shoujo than in shounen which is why people then think the boundaries for Josei are similar to that of Seinen however that is wrong. Sorry for the long rant but thinking that shoujo cannot have things like this is actually very wrong. Aside from that I hope that Kokoro and Kippei will be able to work something out that won't upset Yuzu.

I thought it was pretty funny to be honest. Especially because Kokoro just looked so out of it when her friends stepped in and was fixing her clothes. LOL

I was rolling my eyes at the stairway scene, not because I disapproved of what they were doing (I don't), but where they were.

Then I was laughing my ass off at the way Yazuyu and Kokoro were sizing each other up at the playground. And then my jaw hit the floor at Kokoro's answer to Yuzuyu's very to the point question.

I figured Yazuyu might try to leave by herself. It's easy to bitch at the daycare/school, but when two adults are trying to keep track of 25 kids and people are coming and going and the phone is ringing and...it's actually not hard for a kid that really want's to slip away to do so.

First off the background music is killing me.

Second, the stairwell scene was uncomfortable. I felt like the show I was watching was turning into something else with the close up of their bodies during their make out session. I am cool with stuff like that when it makes sense. Ugh, when he says are you lonely at night I wanted to puke!

Well it's a lame line. One that sounded like he has used it before. I wish he wasn't such a horn-dog.

Weird too when Kokoro asked him if he loved Yuzuyu... had a strange vibe to it.

Almost success for Kippei =p some direct action, well I actually like the current development between those two, although she did mentioned that she didn't love him or was that just to suit Yuzuyu? Either way she's gone to home alone, I hope Kippei can find her fast!

That stairway scene felt so out of place. Not to mention the location was pretty out in the open LOL. I thought this was suppose to be pg 13 lel.

Were they really planning to go all the way on the stairs? I feel a bit bad for Kokoro since it seems like Kippei is still stuck in playboy mode and I don't think it's really registered to him that she's different and wants him to just focus on her.

Well as tensions and jealousy arise, Marika continues to remain my favorite.

I don't like this episode very much, that's the one where Yuzuyu ran away.
Numbuh 3, you've got to get off the couch, you cannot sit in that tree house, girl you like Rainbow Monkeys so grab your little shit and then swing!

Hand tracks be tracking me to different doorways. In a maze, and I don't know what to do. Guaranteed though, Ima find the emeralds.

I was like, YES! Kippei actually said sorry

"when I'm with you my worries disappear" ~ Kokoro
So, she's using him as a relief pill!! Alrighty, Kippei just got a taste of his own medicine.

So... she needs stupidity???
"This sorta thing seems stupid, but its stupidity relieves me." as a response to Kippei sticking his hand under her shirt. Making out and groping on the floor already? WEW!

The next episode seems much more promising in the preview. It's drama heavy!

Ah, that stairway scene. It was funny to watch although I must agree with the rest. There are things that you should only do together at home.
Poor Yuzuyu. I hope nothing bad is going to happen with her. She REALLY shouldn't go back home by herself. :c

Come on, really, the staircase?

Ugh, here it comes one of the "tropes" that I hate the most: when a main characters get lost. I get too anxious if they at not found fast.

lol people all "teenagers making out at school blasphemy" but this is not uncommon, I guess anime has brainwashed y'all. Maybe they should've picked a more secluded area but maybe those stairs are usually empty during lunch. Also found Kokoro not being super embarrassed or taking tit touching seriously actually subversive of all fucking things, cause it's not a huge deal.

Also I know it's justified but I'm getting tired of Yuzuyu and Kippei having misunderstandings, they're more of a shoujo couple then anything.

Well, that place seems to be near the top, so I guess people don't walk around there much. Well, just like those girls said, Kippei is really pushy, just started dating yet he's pushing it that far, already. Would've been a nonsensical scene but considering it's Kippei, it does make sense. Well, of course Yuzu is sad now, she's a child. What Kokoro said to Yuzu made sense though, it was solely to make her feel better.
