I glanced at some manga scans and I seriously wonder how this will end or if there will be a second season? Some people said this is crawling like a snail. |

Episode 10 was a really pivotal episode, and it was great. We finally got to hear Kasuga say more than a couple words at once, and he really used them all of them well. He laid himself bare, though unfortunately for both Saeki and Nakamura, there wasn't much to lay bare. He isn't Nakamura's partner in crime; he isn't the cool, mysterious guy that Saeki fell in love with--he's just a teenager filled with angst who has no idea where he fits in the world, and he just blindly wishes that it's somewhere better than as a nobody in a small, boring town.
I wonder what would've happened if Saeki never passed by--was the blush on Kasuga's cheeks when he saw Nakamura's soaked-through clothes just embarrassment, or did he really have a thing for her? I really am very excited for the next episode. Will who did the ransacking of the classroom come to the authority's light? Will it be because of Saeki? And if the police don't find out, what's next for the now self-aware Kasuga? I really hope the hotel I'm staying in next weekend has internet... |

Kasuga feels he can't live up to the expectations of either Saeki or Nakamura because he's not virtuous enough for Saeki or a deviant like Nakamura. He feels they are above his station. The unfortunate thing is that Saeki was willing to forgive and accept him despite all of his faults/sins.
I'm just going by what I've seen and I'm sure people who have read the manga have a better idea what is going on. |

That's why he says he can't love like a regular human being. I mean, if he wants to keep a perfect, idolized figure of a girl he loves, he can't expect to get intimate with anyone. |

Well, when the episode began and I realised they'd laid the credits over the episode and dispensed with the usual OP sequence I figured something had to be special about this one. I was not disappointed.
A confrontation on a quiet country road, this really very oppressive setting. In the dark, in the rain, on the road into night, as Kasuga is faced with a choice he can't make. He breaks down with a confession of a different order. He's read lots of stuff, but he doesn't really understand Baudelaire or the others. He just wanted to feel different, smarter, better than his peers, but he's just a shithead like everybody else. He can't choose one so faces losing both. Then the police arrive and drag the three of them back to town. Wow. That was intense character drama and I can hardly wait to see what happens next. |

Not having read the manga, I wonder how this all ends? Is it faithful to the manga so far? And will the remainder of the episodes allow it to be? I'm sort of assuming like some Anime it might leave things hanging unless the manga is short itself. |

About the episode itself it was excellently done, my favorite after episode 7 and Nakamura and Saeki had some good shots imo. I missed the OP but with the atmosphere that surrounded the whole episode it's a good decision not to put it.

I would have had no difficulty choosing Saeki over Nakamura. This anime is missing a second component to make it believable. Like Nakamura was willing to make sexy time with Kasuga and Saeki wasn't and that was making the decision difficult. The most popular, most beautiful girl in school but chaste vrs the plain, sexually active, deviant outcast. Like many things I have to chalk it up to "Well that's just Japan."

Yes, but Nakamura gets Kasuga's alienation, while Saeki doesn't. Nakamura wants to get out of that town, but Saeki doesn't. On the other hand Nakamura is filled with hatred and cynicism, embraces nihilism, while Kasuga still believes in various romantic notions, same as Saeki. For who Kasuga is, the choice is really a toss-up.
