He didn't believe her first confession in s1 and interpreted it as pity, and here he didn't get it (or he did, but ignoring it)

Maybe 3rd times the charm and he react more positively to it..

He didn't get it because it was a very clever word play.

Translated without the extra context, she said something that, in most normal situations, means "I love the service club,..... i really do"

What she did in her second "suki na no" was remove the object but you know she's saying "I love the service club. And i love you" due to context.

Well, she said it exactly because he did know it, or better, she said it exactly because that's what he thinks. Hate or love are not meant to be related to him, that's what he thinks.

eheheh that's made me realize how in the same episode Yukinon confessed her "hate" for him while Yui her love for him.


Speaking of Yui, well, if Haichiman saw through her and her intentions during the confession episode and confessed to Ebina also to stop her, he also should have got something here.
If he didn't see there, it's more plausible he didn't get it now.

At this point, since that's how these stories go, I'd be leaning toward him being oblivious of Yui intentions back to the Kyoto trip and so also misreading Yui's confession now. Fun since he is the master of reading between the lines.
But it would be better he do read between the lines, but just doesn't believe to it. That would fit better with him.
On the contrary I wonder how he interpreted Yukinon's hate declaration. Since they seem to share a higher level of understanding.

I think he do notice Yui's confession because it's actually so apparent, and he cannot react while having his mouth slowly opened It's just that he is so used to be in denial of others affection for him to keep his self image and protect himself, that he might somehow persuade himself that isn't a confession. Well, we'll need to wait and see unless go to read the novel.

Episode 5:

Spoiler:

I am glad to see Zaimokuza this episode since I missed his presence in this season. It looks like he is going to get involved in these school affairs as well. And on the topic of Yui, I also wonder what kind of school she would run. It raises a lot of questions because of her personality at times. As for strategy to win the election, I suppose a vote of confidence could play out as a factor. The part with the fake twitter accounts made me giggle a bit though.

A cute moment between her and Hachiman near the end there too this week. However, I feel like Yukino has that fake smile on herself again. Also kinda curious about Hachiman's true motive for getting involved in this and what he wanted to protect in the first place.

[Emballage]

Spoiler for Episode 5 impressions (with minor LN comparisons):

The scene with Hachiman and Komachi making up was nice.

Wasn't Taishi (Kawasaki's brother) supposed to be at the cafe scene as well?

Oh god that Hachiman pretending to be cutesy was just hilarious.

Iroha's rejection lines were a bit more rapid-fire than I had imagined.

Overall, definitely a less tense episode, especially when compared with the previous few. Maybe because of that, it kind of feels like there's a lack of a climax to the ending?

[LKK]

Thread closed for clean-out.

Edit: Cleaning done.

Thread open.

[eceso]

A lotta komachi points this episode

And although not necessarily important to the story, a lot of stuff was omitted i noticed

Liked that moment with Yui at the end

[dexecutioner]

Well, I guess it's safe to say that the director is a Yui fan. Lot of focus are always around her and the Iroha interactions were just either removed or rushed, which is kinda disappointing since it was one of the reasons why this volume was amusing.

Next episode/volume is gonna be the best one. I hope the director and the scriptwriter makes the right calls this time.

[IceHism]

This time in the OP, Yuigahama and Yukino are back in the service club room but 8man is gone.

I liked it but it felt a bit fast paced.

[nooneagain]

"And here I was sure you'd understand"
what does she mean?

[Tormenk]

Not exactly the strongest kind of conclusion to a story arc but since the confrontation of ideals was acted out last episode, the remainder of seeing just the results of that inevitably feels weaker. Hikki grasping Isshiki's psyche accurately to remove her hesitations one by one ending with the mention of Hayama as the trump card was definitely fun to watch though.

Probably just me but Komachi would definitely resemble Haruno if she loses the ahoge and grow her hair out. She's got it in her to emulate Haruno's act as well anyway.

Both Hikki and Yui held the view that the three of them shared a relationship that was bound by the premise of the Service Club. Yukino thought otherwise and was disappointed since neither of them understood that and was so headstrong in pursuing their own methods to prevent the inevitable breakup of the club, much less stop to think about this possibility.

Which I have to say Yukino was wrong in this regard. Their relationship couldn't have endured this and Yukino herself doesn't realize how important that point is yet. Sensei makes it a point in the novels to let Hikki knows how Yukino actually still goes to the clubroom everyday even during the voluntary period of this request.

So, was that supposed to be a poster of Keyser Soze ("SOSE" on the picture) in the back of the Student Council room?

It's Jose Mourinho.

There's a football (oh you Americans and Japanese calling it "soccer" or whatever) fan on staff!

[YumeNoMonogatari]

These episodes just get better and better. I just love the attention they've put in the body language, it a good way to replace some of Hachiman's monologues.

Spoiler for one of the cutest moment:

I want a little sister too! >_<

Spoiler:

[Salva]

I reaaaaaally liked this episode. Firt the scenes with Komachi were absolutely amazing. It was obvious they care a lot about each other and seeing them communicating and reconciling is great. This at least proves that not all hope is lost and maybe with time Hikigaya will start seeing how much he means to some people.

I loved scenes with Iroha this time, especially when he got rid of all the obstacles she had in mind and manipulated her into actually becoming proper president. Definitely Hachiman at his best.

Scene with Yukino though was really sad. I think she mant much much more by saying she hoped he'd understand. I don't want to speculate because I don't want to sound stupid but I have some suspicions as to what she meant. I wonder if we'll get to see it though.

I also didn't like scene with Yui, it was cute and all but I don't want them getting closer… I suspect he might actually fall for her with time and I really don't like it.

[~Yami~]

Komachi saves the day and giving cold water to this heated situation between volunteer club members
best imouto ever! Hikki also can make Komachi blushes

in the end, I don't see any contribution of Hikki's team clearly
Saki might be the one who handed out the candidate for fake twitter account
Saika... I don't know what he's doing there
Saimokusa handled the fake twitter accounts

It is funny how all the students didn't feel scammed at all.. probably because most of the student didn't really care.. since there is also no other opposing candidate beside Iroha
Hikki solved everything with a simple way.. and manage to push Iroha to accept the responsibility

The conclusion is cute but also become a mystery.. well I like the Hikki and Yui's moment, basically because they are on the same terms against this problem
For Yukino, at first I think that her statement leads to conclusion that the problem is still unfinished
however, Shiromeguri's statement made it little clear for me
I think that is what in Yukino's mind... and might be in her sister's mind too

If Yukino got elected, she might create a perfect setup like what Shiromeguri-senpai wished for.. and that is probably the best choice
I think Yukino just got disappointed to Hikki and Yui for underestimating their bond too much

anyway, Yukino.. she has to deal with it
That's what you get if every members still try to keep their own thinking, agenda, and wish and didn't share them at all

[Benigmatica]

Wow, I wonder if the student body are pissed that Hachiman duped them because he manipulated those Twitter accounts?

Still, it's great to see the Volunteer Club back instead of ruining it. Although having them as student council officers is good, I don't want OreGairu to become another Seitokai Yakuindomo minus the sexual jokes!

[blakstealth]

lmao. Did Hachiman really jack those Twitter accounts?

It's kinda weird not feeling anything conflicting after Hachiman solved yet another problem.
