Nah, he already has a huge crush on Himeji. It may even run deeper than that. He's just too unable to accept that she would feel the same way about him, which of course, everyone in the whole world knows she does aside from Yoshii himself. I'd say he knows what love is despite that.

The secret is to not try to pick up girls... Just by being the densest object in the room and they'll gravitate towards you naturally.

I'd say "disinterested" is a more appropriate term. Someone can't be dense unless others already find them attractive and are trying to make the target of affection aware of that.

I'm pretty sure it's because "girls like what they can't have".

[Hell_ping]

Minami was brought up in Germany. Mizuki's the only osananajimi. Akihisa and Yuuji can't believe that Mizuki and Shouko would love them respectively, thinking that they're unworthy. Minami's real backstory comes in Vol. 7.5, which leads to the doll incident, and bla bla bla...

Yeah, something like that

Akihisa is an idiot plain and simple, but Yuuji has to be in some serious denial

Minami... The way you said it makes me think there's ALOT more to this tale than meets the eye

[AzureWrath]

I can't imagine Yuuji not getting the message. It even comes in taser form sometimes! I wonder why the FFF lets that one slide too. Maybe they feel sympathy for him even though he has a girl xD

[Anh_Minh]

That, or they know what Shouko'd do to them if they came between her and her beloved.

[Belgaesh]

Funny anime as always, and also quite baka. All the characters are funny, mainly Akihisa, and the girls are lovely, even if most of the are yandere.

My favorite characters are Voyeur and Hideoshi, I absolutely think them both as hilariating.

[longshot]

akihisa gets the girls easily(and some guys) he's just too stupid to notice the hearts flying around. Although to be fair those hearts also come in dangerous packages

minami(Bone-breaking moves)
Himeji(her cooking-dear god the cooking)
Hideyoshi(He's a guy Aki, oh forget it its like the 30th time its been said)
Hazuki(Shimada,her parents, the police, the FFF, the school, Himeji, Yuuji will kill you if you do anything romantic with her Aki and we mean anything. Also he only thinks of her like a little sister.)
Kubo(Sorry he doesn't swing that way unless its Hideyoshi)

Spoiler for Animated before anyway:

"Yo, you kept me waiting for quite a while."

"...Yuuji."

Standing in front of a hotel in Kisaragi Highlands, Shouko finally exits the passageway as she keeps her head down.

"Okay, time to go back."

I help Shouko carry the large bag that she took back from the fake foreigner as we walk slowly towards the train station.

"..."

Shouko doesn't say anything at all as she silently follows me.

We silently walk down the path to the train station in this sunset.

I don't know how long we walked, but while we're walking that's pretty empty, Shouko finally asks softly,

"...Yuuji."

"...What is it?"

"...Is my dream..weird?"

She must be bothered by the idiotic couple's mockery.

Shouko stopped, and though her head's lowered to prevent me from seeing her face, I can tell what her expression is.

"This, well, maybe it isn't ordinary."

I chose my words carefully before making this reply.

"..."

Shouko again remains silent.

The reason why I answered like this is because in these not-so-short 7 years; she always harbored this one unshakeable dream as she stuck onto me. But now that her dream got mocked and denied in front of so many people, I can't even imagine how she feels.

But even so, I don't intend to lie just to comfort her.

"I'll use this chance to state this clearly, your feelings towards me are just derived from that past guilt you had."

The event that happened 7 years ago was the key reason why Shouko thinks that she fell for me. Up till now, I'm still regretful of that incident. If I had handled it a little better, maybe it wouldn't have ended up like this.

Because of that, that person wasted her time on this useless bum here.

Thus, I have a need to tell her directly 'you're mistaken'—in order to prevent her from wasting time on such a thing.

"...Yuuji..."

Shouko gasped. Maybe this is a blow to her when I said this.

"But—"

But I have no need to hurt her. What's wrong is how this person here understands her feelings, but being able to harbor such feelings for just one person for this long is something she should be proud of.

So I have to tell her this. She isn't completely wrong, she just made a mistake in her target. However, her dream isn't wrong, and it's not strange at all.

"—But then, I won't laugh at your dream. Your dream is amazing, it won't lose to anyone, so you have to be confident of yourself."

I put the thing that I picked up at the hall on Shouko, who has her head down.

"However, you cannot mistake who you're going for."

To have a wedding experience, it shouldn't be bad to have a memory like this, right?

"...This is...the headdress from...just now..."

Shouko reaches her hands out and receives the pure white headdress of the wedding gown as she lifts head head and stares at me in shock.

Seeing her so shocked, I suddenly feel somewhat awkward as I turn my head away.

Ah, now that I mentioned it, I have something else I have to tell her no matter what.

"Also, Shouko—"

I stare at the fading sunset and say softly—

"—The bento was delicious."

I put the already lighter bag onto Shouko's hands.

"...Ah...my bento. Yuuji, you...noticed...?"

"Okay, let's hurry up and head back. We'll be misunderstood if we stay out for far too long."

"...Yuuji."

"Especially my mom, no matter how I explain it—"

"Yuuji!"

It's been a while since I heard her speak so loudly, and I inadvertenly stop.

"What is it?"

I replied her call with my usual calm attitude.

Just as I tilt my head to face her, in the orange sunset, I see someone raising the headdress—"


"I didn't make a mistake after all!"


I see—my childhood friend smiling brightly at me.

Spoiler for What was in the love letter (again, first season, just not shown).:

Hello Yoshii Akihisa-kun:


I'm sorry to write this letter to you so suddenly, but I have something that I really want to tell Yoshii-kun, so this is why I started to write this letter.


Does Yoshii-kun still remember me? We were in the same class during third grade, you know. From that moment, I always felt that Yoshii-kun's a really interesting person, and is always the one that cheers others up. No matter what happens, you'll always stand up to encourage everyone. When I was class rep once, you helped me out a lot. I really think that Yoshii-kun's really amazing. Though I didn't join you and play around, my heart always felt warm whenever I see Yoshii-kun, whether it's the classroom or the field.


When we were in Middle school, although we didn't manage to be in the same class, I continued to hear rumors of you. When we occasionally met each other, my heart would beat really fast. Isn't that strange? Why is it so? I often asked myself.

Maybe it's a coincidence, but when I heard that you entered the same High school as me, I was really happy.

During the summoning exam, you stepped up to protect me immediately. At that moment, I couldn't fool myself anymore—I think, maybe I love you...until now, I finally realized my feelings for you.


I love you.

Right now, it took me all of my courage just to express my feelings to you. Will it be good to let Yoshii-kun understand my feelings and slowly bond ourselves together?

This letter's basically my own feelings for you, so I'm really sorry. If you have someone you're dating or like, then I'm really sorry about it.

But then. But then, I really love you. I love you the most.

Also, the girl who said to the FFF that she loves her Aki-chan, Yuuko, Akira...I can go on and on...

Possibly my single most favorite scene in season 1, seeing Yuuji's monologue here makes it even better I've sort of heard bits and pieces about what Yuuji did for Shouko when they were young... So rather than denial, I guess this is... no self esteem?

[judasmartel]

Spoiler for During the second grade...:

Shouko: Say, Yuuji, when did the Taika Reforms happen?
Yuuji: It was in the year 625. 6-2-5. Got it?
Shouko: Are you sure?
Yuuji: Yeah, I'm sure. Don't forget it, okay?
Shouko: Okay, I won't forget.

Sometime later, Shouko finds that 625 is a wrong answer. (It's actually 645.)

Is this good enough reason for Shouko to hold something on Yuuji?

Real story's in the last unadapted story in volume 6.5. I suppose they will animate it this season. Title is: Yuuji and Shouko and all the Childhood Memories

Hmm? Episodes 1 and 2 are fully streamed on their site.

And sucks the scantalated manga stops around here. I want to know more!

[longshot]

hey ping could you provide us any more spoilerific tidbits considering the anime is sometimes condensing certain stories leaves a bit to be desired.

[larethian]

I thought he's already working on 6.5. you just need to wait.

[ZeKeR]

say who was that teacher (?) that wore a traditional dress? I think I saw her somewhere in v4-7

its not that its more of...oh nevermind will wait translations will probably reach up to that point someday and everything will be cleared.

[larethian]

yeah, I'll be working v4 bit by bit as a breather, but I need more motivation. well, at least, it's easy to translate.

[Hell_ping]

I'm doing 7, not 6.5, but once I get time, there'll be dual-translations and triple-translations. Anyone familiar with German History, please check through this.

Kuroi's doing vol 6.

Spoiler for One last tidbit:

Girl's name Sugawa confessed to is Tamano Miki. That will become important later

EDIT: As for teacher, I haven't watched the first 2 episodes yet...

[DragoonKain3]

ROFL. THIS is the bakatest I know and love. First part was just frigging hilarious, while second part has some of the more outrageous moments.

But really now, bakatest being a gag anime, there really isn't anything to talk about. With very few character developments and the plot going nowhere (or at least at a snail's pace), I am not at all too surprised there's little to no discussion when vast majority of episodes are 'filler' in other series' standards.

I thought this was already established in the first season? Or at least I remember 'correcting' people that thought Minami was the osananajimi when there's zero indication she knew Aki from the past, and all evidence pointed towards Mizuki.

Ping... she has "Aoi" in her name... and I'm sure that she's quite a flirt (?!) since I saw her take off her traditional kimono to reveal a leotard.

also, it will be quite lulzy to add a teacher (*cough* Akira should be in Fumizuki to add even more lulz *cough*) thats also gunning for Akihisa since she will have a new b(t)oy to teach... A LOT (*cough* as if Akira suggesting WINcest isnt enough *cough*)
