I could use words to sing praise to the show again but.. This image.
The moment the color of the brightening sky meets that of the darkening cheeks of a girl confessing her love, and you realize you are watching something truly great. A true work of art. That is all.

Another great episode. It's always nice to see things from other characters' perspectives (and makes it much easier to follow for a dense and slow person like me...).
To be honest, I find Natsume (like most of the characters, it has to be said, though part of what makes this show good is that none of them are perfect) a bit frustrating at times, so being able to see her thoughts in more detail makes her much more relatable and likable to me. And now that she has confessed to Mi-chan, I'm really rooting for her. As an aside, am I the only one who really likes Oshima? For all her shyness, I think she is very strong for being able to hold onto her love for Haru even in the face of near-certain heartbreak. I really think she deserves some love. Plus, I dig the glasses. Here's hoping for a good last episode. I have more faith than ever that they're going to be able to make it a good ending. Even if it isn't, this is one of my favorite series, and I'm going to be sad in a week when it's all over. At least there is still the manga... |

All we know is that Misawa was caught by surprise, but I don't really see any indications of romance in his demeanor. God, I'm going to miss this show. Why isn't this a two-cour? |

Having said that volume 11 hasn't been released yet (I think) so we'll have to wait a while before we see if the anime had an impact on it.

It seemed more like he was too busy trying to process what just happen to remember to move or make any response. The joys of a vocabulary spanning multiple languages and cultures.

I lol at "Banasonic". Is it just a translation mistake or is it really Banasonic?
I have been meaning to ask, exactly how old is Mi-chan? He doesn't look older than 30 to me. If only he changes his hairstyle a little and drop that glasses, I would totally fall for him. The first few seconds after a love confession is never easy. It feels like an eternity.

Mi-chan's precise age is "way, way too old for Natsume". Fortunately he's both too smart and too kind to be swayed by her shock confession. Falling in love with an unrealistic crush and getting hurt a little can be one of those "love that helps us grow up" things he was talking about.

I also see it as the best of both worlds for the anime as well. Their fake name is close enough to the real name that the viewer knows who they're talking about. But they don't have to worry about usage fees, getting legal permission, or any corporate limitations on how the product is depicted if they used the real name.

Sasayan & Natsume would make nice couple ^^
Shizuku promising Haru a picknick was kinda sweet. Well, at least he's easy to please.. The New Year out in the open was interesting. It was kinda fun as well ^^ This was totally a holiday episode.

Ohohohoho, Sasayan understanding Natsume to the nth degree, to the point of playing matchmaker for her? And Natsume admitting she can feel normal around Sasayan? This is probably the closest this show would come to an osananajimi-like relationship, so I hope Mi-chanXNatsume crash and burns to the ground.
TBQH, Oshima is the main reason why I'm still watching the show. HanaKana's characters tends to be of maiwaifu material for me. And of the three main contenders this season, Oshima beats the other two in terms of moe points BECAUSE it's hard not to feel sorry for her when even she knows her love for Yoshida is doomed. XD

Now that was interesting episode. I loved it! Yamaken, poor Yamaken... I can't express my love for the guy. I love how he's so cold and calm whenever someone else mentions Mitty yet he tries his best whenever she's around to catch her attention. It's lovely to see a guy acting like that. It's exactly what I always wanted the male lead to do. Not acting all shy and embarassed but approaching his crush with confidence and without wavering. He's impressive and I admire him a lot. Also he's not ideal and that makes him even better.
I'm surprised how the show can manage to switch the perspectives like that. It's very interesting and refreshing to see the whole situation through another set of eyes. First Yamaken, now Natsume. I still don't like her but I can't tell I don't admire her for what she did. Also I don't want Natsume and Sasayan together. They doesn't match well to me... Quote:

Now I'm quite scared what will happen in the next episode. I think it's the time to start reading manga.

I thought the Love Fortunes were hilarious. Were they the actual translations or did the subbers take some liberties?
Yamaken : Terrible - Right Next To You Haru : Excellent - Watch what you say Mitty: Terrible - Trouble Nearby Oshima : Terrible - Learn to suck it up
