Emotionally and intellectually, Masuzu is exactly on his wavelength, he just strongly disagrees with shoving their anti-romance sentiment down somebody else's throat. He feels physical attraction towards Masuzu, and he is NOT staying merely due to blackmail, but because he is a caring person by nature and feels that he doesn't WANT to desert her. So, while he doesn't have any romantic inclinations towards Masuzu at this point, there is definitely a matching symmetry with her where more can be built upon. Chiwa on the other hand has pretty much maxed out her potential already, yet she is friendzoned. Which doesn't mean however that she won't try to do more |

I am having difficulty telling if you are supporting or contradicting my points, I'll take the former as benefit of the doubt.
I have a feeling that Chiwa was going it the wrong way to get his attention prior to this. Trying to be popular so he will get jealous? That certainly didn't work with Eita. Now that she's more open with her own feelings, perhaps she will actually go onto a direct offensive so that he will notice her more. They had a great history to begin with, if she managed to flip the attitude from him, from being a mere sister to actually potential girlfriend candidate, then she has a huge lead. It would be interesting to see where the story heads next. Will Chiwa finally go on a full assault? Will Masuzu still do the whole "pretending" bs to justify her actions? Hopefully with more characters in the fray next ep there will be something that interrupts the balance.

Having a matching symmetry doesn't leave much to build upon when the part that matches is them being mutually disinterested in each other.
You can make the argument that "Eita is the only one not slobbering over her", but I don't see how "I'm only talking to you because you're blackmailing me" is any better.

I can't believe this series didn't get its own sub-forums. I find it interesting. Eita probably would have a hard time by next episode although the study first before love would be still be intact unless her aunt's advice towards it would change everything.

About Chiwa, it looks like he only sees her as a little sister of sorts, without any romantic interest. Eita was pretty stupid for not letting the thugs go after he drove them away with his lunatic act. Anyway, during being beaten up, he said that "kanojo" was watching him. This was simply translated as "she", but often, it means "girlfriend", and I think that was the case here. That was probably the first time of him actually refering to Masuzu as his girlfriend. Masuzu was that surprised by this that she probably was too embarrassed to see him in school next day. When she had regained her composure, she apparently had finally decided to take Eita as her actual boyfriend, hence the kiss - and hence her turning up at his house the next morning

While they could say that she picked him out because he's the only one cold to her, I'd prefer something different—maybe she was really impressed by whoever wrote Burning Fighting Fighter's notebook, or something. Liking him because he doesn't like her just feels wrong.

Anyway, rule number one about subforums is don't discuss it.

Spoilers Spoiler for with reference to the anime website on the 3rd girl Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?And I beg to differ that he might be referring to Chiwa. If you slide back a few minutes earlier, he said to Masuzu "Don't look down or you will miss your boyfriend's hour of triumph". So I'd reckon that he was actually referring to Masuzu watching him. |

Fuck Masuzu. She's a vindictive bitch who takes pleasure in the suffering of others that she orchastrates. I don't give a shit if she has a checkered past. Your ability to rise above the shit that happens to you and develop a decent character in the face of those bad experiences is apart of the challenge of life and Masuzu has comprehensively failed that test.
Team Chiwa all the way and fuck do I feel dirty phrasing it like that. |

He himself said that he wasn't interested in love or girls, and I don't see why he would be lying to himself. He did not like her. Until she blackmailed him, she might as well have been dirt on the floor for all he cared about her.

I still think that she only thought of it as a game at first, solely meant for her entertainment, before she got seriously interested in him. Quote:
Yes, most likely he was indeed referring to Masuzu. I don't see why he should suddenly want to address Chiwa there... but hey, let the Chiwa shippers have their fun
