Spoiler for ep22:

Of course, as a Kiri supporter it's easy for me to say that. We see that Hiroki and Kiri really are together now. It's a Kiri ending. But the way Erisu's feelings come out and change is done so well. And I do expect that Erisu will be in the painting Hiroki will definitely do.

Huge kudos to Nazuka Kaori (Erisu), and especially to the (now it can be said) great Takahashi Mikako (Tomoko).

And note the rather simple but well-drawn eyecatches: according to the end credits, the one of Erisu was done by Nazuka Kaori (the seiyuu who plays her), and the one of Kiri by Nabatame Hitomi (ditto).

I found this episode to be a little pointless. It was material that I thought was already dealt with in episode 10-12.

It was good to see Hiroki comfort Kiri, without him needing to know more details, though. And Tomoko's part was interesting too, highlighting the friendships between the characters.
