I'm half kidding of course.

Not sure what you mean by "Dragon's own fault".

Poor Nanami. I had to give this episode a 6. It just wasn't that enjoyable to me.

Solutions are simple:

Sorata + Shiina + Aoyama.

Spoiler:

Three way.

In the case of Rita -- she said her peace. She can move on with her life. Mr Hikkimori doesn't deserve her.

Misaki?

Spoiler:

Date other people... for now.

Happy Valentine's Day.

As for me? Another year where I'm alone... (Being dense is not cool)

[tsunade666]

three way relationship? that won't happen in this kind of story.

valentines day is like an ordinary day for me. it held no special meaning to a haru in real life like me. 2D and 3D are different.

[Dauerlutscher]

I wonder how a three way relationship can be possible when both girls don't like to share and the guy only loves on girl...
Sounds like the dream relationship of every third wheel. Yeah, really.

About Valentine's day. My partner cares too much about it and I have to do something every year. I'm lucky that I have prepared something months ago for her.

[Haiprbim]

It was an amazing episode. :D
Cannot wait to see another one!

I won't argue against that but will ask " What might have been kind thing that Ryuunosuke could have done? How could he have acted in more gentlemanly fashion? " We should try to analyze things from multiple side, not just one side.

As I said before this is one of situation where 3 way solution won't work. Mashiro may put Plan C into action if that happens.

I don't think there's room for gentlemanly behavior here. Being gentlemanly would mean keeping to high social standards of proper behavior - but that is only possible in a relatively normal social context, with the other side keeping to at least the basic rules of socially acceptable behavior.

A gentleman would open the door for a knocking lady.
Should Dragon open the door, Rita would force her way inside against all protest.
A gentleman would politely ask a lady to leave his room if necessary.
Rita never gave a damn about what Dragon thought of her occupying his private space.

I think you can be kind under any circumstances, but there are contexts in which insistence on gentlemanly behavior seems like a farce.

I was referring to your previous statement:

No, Dragon never declined properly, which in itself is his own fault regardless of his personality.

and wondering if you still believed what you had said after having watched the episode.

I think it's pretty clear that I have already quite accurately analyzed the situation, but you seem to want me to say, "He should have politely opened the door to her and let her do whatever she wanted."

As much as I agree with you wholeheartedly, I fear there are some who will also disagree wholeheartedly and believe that the Dragon should have allowed Rita to invade his privacy, no matter what.

You make it sounds like your opinion is the correct one while the other is wrong.

But meh, late reply is late
