Okay. Maybe not Sena but Kate.
"Meat" is Takao-level amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed when she put on her old school outfit. I don't know what's her problem. It's perfect. The nostalgia of wearing you're old clothes is too strong and that's why NagiAsu gets an award for best visual. She's the reason the budget goes up.

This episode was great. Frustrated with Chisaki still liking Hikari though, oh my god let's move on please. We're running out of time.
Just wanted to say it makes sense for her to still like him, this is just my own personal frustration lol. She is so stuck in the past it bothers me. That's the point though. |

On the matter I'm with Triple_r, unrequited loves are painful. And even if it could not affect other aspects of your life surely it affects completely one aspect at least. The love one. Because it cut off every possibility to love being loved. So ultimately any chance to be really happy. For this reason you have/had to move on. For grant you a chance. One chance on a million? Better than zero chances. And speaking of Chisaki, her reaction to her nurse outfit didn't sound right to me, she could care the less. If we compare it to her wearing her old school uniform to me it's clear that this situation is affecting her way to live her present. Even letting aside Tsumugu. So I still think (and hope) that one of the points of the show is let it go and grow up.

With that much character having unrequited love I wonder if Tsumugu will have his dose. |

I don't quite understand this notion that you can switch off your feelings like a light switch. "What's the point of loving someone if they don't love you back?" has to be one of the most off-point statements I've seen yet. In the first place, you love who you love. In the second place, very occasionally something happens to make the other person realize they do love you back (as happened with Manaka and Hikari). Third, and most relevant here, even if the love is hopeless you can't move on with your life by denying it exists - you have to accept it, embrace the pain, and then figure out what to do next. And that's what I see happening with Chisaki here.

There's a good chance of it happening if she doesn't get over Hikari soon.

Because if so, that's an absolutely horrible message to be sending, in my view. Personally, I think it's a much better and more healthy message to say that people should try to get over unrequited love, because if they don't, "doom" may await them (your own choice of words). Quote:

And I do feel like Chisaki is too focused on her past, and doesn't appreciate enough what she has in the here and now. I'm hoping that she changes in this regard, for her own sake.

Again, I'm mystified by the notion that we can simply stop loving someone because it's inconvenient. And it seems paired with what I see as an equally strange idea, that we have to stop loving one person before we can start loving someone else. I do think it's possible to come to love someone despite having lingering love for someone else - the point isn't to toss aside that love like a used tissue, but to understand it and to accept that it's not going to lead to a relationship. That said, it's equally unrealistic to think that Chisaki should now fall in love with Tsumugu because that is convenient. It seems to me that after living with him for five years - five hormonally-charged and emotionally fragile years - if that was going to happen it would have happened already. But if there is any chance of it, it wouldn't be until after Chisaki comes to terms with (not tosses aside) her feelings for Hikari. Lastly, I also find some of this criticism of Chisaki for clinging to the past kind of silly. It's not as if she's an old maid, some spinster living in a tiny apartment with newspapers stacked to the ceiling and 25 cats. She's still a teenager - she has plenty of time to fall in love again. It was impossible for her to move on with Hikari missing, condition unknown - now that he's back, she's slowly and painfully coming to terms with the sad reality of their situation. What in the world is wrong with that?
