Okay - I must admit I giggled quite a bit with ep 7.

And you know, I kinda think the ED is kinda catchy - guess it's growing on me!

What grade is Atsushi in? There are times when I think he acts younger than his age like how he reacted to going to see the movie. I can't imagine the 2 boys in his class acting like that. On the other hand, it was darn cute to watch.

Fifth or six. However, I can actually imagine such kids sleeping at a movie like Titanic.

Fourth or fifth is what I was thinking.

Falling asleep at a romantic film, yes, I can see that too. I was more surprised by his twirling around chanting Movie! Movie! It seemed a more childish reaction than the average 5th grader would display.

He can't be a fourth grader since we know from episode 5 that he didn't get along that well with the fourth grade boys throwing all those beans.

He's 11, so that should be 5th.

This really should be full-length. It has a lot of potential that can never be tapped here.

Poor Sayo, if only she knew the truth about Atsushi...

Of course, Atsumi could have said "he's my little brother", but I guess that would ruin the potential for more Sayo screentime with Atsushi as her object of affection. Oh well, as long as they stop calling him a pervert or something like that whenever he walks with a girl shorter than him, it's fine.

And yes, this could probably benefit a lot more if it were a full-length show. Like Morita-san before it, they can't really do much in the small timeframe they have and I think a lot of jokes would've worked out better if the build-up time was longer.

Episode 7 was too cruel..... Hina should have invited at least another boy, so that Atsushi would seem less suspicious.

Just watched episode 8.

Why must Atsushi have such bad luck every episode XD At least it was funny to see Atsumi's reactions to the revealing clothes he wore

Curse you Hina's mother!

It looks like Atsushi is going to have a hard time gaining the trust of Hina's parents as well. Seriously, what would it take to finally get him to be with Hina?

Ten years so it won't look creepy?

I am starting to feel sad for Atsushi...

in every episode he always ends up branded as a Pervert... so sad...

LOL...



Also... by how he's age progressing... 10 years... Atsushi will probably start to grow white hair and long beards... LOL

And with how he'll look then...

I bet it'll be even tougher for Atsushi to get with Hina.



Think of it this way, would you want your 17 years old daughter to go out with a guy that looks like 40-50ish years old?... probably not... LOL

Ikr? Poor Atsushi ... well, when the years catch up to him some things should be easier. His older sister is really very sweet and loving of him, though. It is so nice to see Kugumiye Rie in a role like that - she can pull it off very nicely.

I don't understand his sister's action in this ep. She had a cake and doll waiting for Atsushi when he came home. That implies she expected his visit to go badly. Given Atsushi's history with adults, she probably guessed that something would go wrong with Hina's parents. She even alluded to her expectations at the end there. So why wasn't she proactive about the problem and either (1) ask Hina to say something to her parents? or (2) contact Hina's parents herself and explain the situation? Seems like she could have prevented Atsushi's disappointment if she'd acted beforehand rather than afterwards.

Except that if he keeps growing and the years never catch up with him... What if he ends up as a 7-foot tall adult? In Japan, that would be quite a social cross to bear.

Hmm ... I hadn't considered if he was going to keep growing.

All his growth hit him early, rather then over a lengthy period like most people. I had a classmate that was rather huge in the 6th grade IIRC and maintained the status quo over the years. He was a beast in basketball which Atsushi should pursue and put the recorder down...

This. I too am seriously disappointed by Atsumi not doing more to ensure her brother had a good time over at Hina's. She knows about his height issues, she knows he likes that girl and how hard the adults make it for him, so why isn't she helping him overcome his major hurdles more? Even if she didn't tell Hina's parents or have Hina herself do it, she could have escorted him there and explain the whole situation to Hina's parents herself. Or, in case that still would make people suspicious, have her parents (who never seem to be home) do it for her?

Instead, she welcomes her brother with a smile and cake when he returns home totally devastated, leaving Hina to wonder to Atsushi isn't coming. It's as if Atsumi planned it this way all along.
