Cmon, really? You gotta be kidding me. I hate the "misunderstandigns trope" with passion ffs

  Misunderstanding can be fun if you don't do it for drama reasons, in special if not as dumb as this one. Just another proof that many romcom writers doesn't know how to write romances, sadly.
TerumiTenjou 2y
Be honest with your girlfriend but don't tell her that her little sister tried to impersonate her in order to steal his boyfriend. I guess...

If dumb misunderstandings like this keep happening I will just stop after the anime. The superior Romcom is coming soon anyways.
- DeadlyTracer 2y
  Im interested hahah, what's the superior romcom?

  Alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian. The effect of not having a wimp protag makes wonders.

Skipping this episode. All there is to it.

  Update: Decided to watch the last 5-6 minutes of the episode since I have read they reconcile at the end. That part was good and I'm so glad they kept this conflict to just 1 episode. However, just reading what happens in this episode with Maria pisses me off so much.

Are the japanese allergic to clear communication? My dumbass really thought this dude would push her away, leave, then go and tell his girlfriend but instead he waits around so he looks more and more guilty? I actually had some hope but fuck me I guess.

I'm amazed that it took so much time to clear that since they are somewhere like 1 month in relationship and just lost 2 weeks. What the hell?!
I can understand their point of view, at least a little, but...

He messaged her for 2 weeks and got no answer. He tried. I would be discourged a lot more than he was. I somewhat can relate to his fear of pressing that bell, but damn. He really tried.

She stayed without phone for 2 weeks. Didn't even try to contact him because of fear. That's like stupid. Her biggest fear should be 2 month relationship point. I try to understand, but to need 2 weeks to think about it? Does she even like him? She was in so many relatioship she should now by know. She could tell from his face what could happen and now she didn't give him a chance to talk and cut out contant for 2 weeks.

I loved how story has started, I loved their feeling and all, I could even stand main hero internal doubts and problems, but this...
And now they will live like nothing happened? Really? How much time would they need to pause their relation if something serious happen?

In the end... Yeah... Sorry for this rant, needed that and got no one to talk about this one.

  Oh I feel your pain. The amount of frustration I felt from this episode and rest of the story is staggering. It should've just stuck with being a fluffy wholesome story without forced drama
  Yamarin 2y
  Would truly loved that.
- CleanUpNick 2y
  okay but like... you realize what happened with him is exactly what was going on with her right?
  
  i mean look at it from her view, there are rumors of being cheated on with her sister while she's nearing the 2 month point and she goes and stumbles across them talking about how Kurose was the girl he liked back then, that would scare the shit out of anyone, she was too scared to make the confirmation just like he was too scared to start the talk, she's been through this before with who knows HOW many boyfriends and the ONE guy that she's actually starting to like (emphasis on starting, remember she doesn't really know if she likes him yet but she's definitely getting there) and who's been nice to her might be cheating on her... that would be devastating
  Yamarin 2y
  I didn't catch it's the same situation, I'm afraid.
  
  I get you point. Good point. Situation was scary for her, I didn't think about it from her perspective enough.
  Yet I still think 2 weeks is too long. It's hard for me to imagine that it takes so long to find the courage.
  
  But... maybe it can be like that. It's just hard to accept it for me, but I'm not him nor her.
  Maybe I should rewatch that episode with your points in mind.
  
  Thanks. It's possible you saved this show for me for now :)
  
  Edit: Rewatch the scene. Yep, you were right, I kinda feel it. Fear. She was scared.
  It's just if I had to pick what would she do, I would say that she would listen to him instead running. Maybe I'm actually sad about being wrong here?
  Yet again - it's posibble I think. Not that strange and your point is 100% right I think.
  
  And.. maybe... I just wish she wouldn't done that and just tried to listen to him, that way they would just get along a lot faster. And that way I could watch them more instead of our little villain, who stole like half of episode :(
  
  Thanks once again, CleanUpNick!
  CleanUpNick 2y
  yeah i wish she had stayed as well but fear is an ass, if you have no confidence in yourself from stuff that's happened in the past and a situation like this us playing out honestly 2 weeks is a pretty short time to be locking yourself away because the longer you take the worse you feel and irl most of the time this just leads to them never actually resolving things and just breaking up
Chrispl 2y
Fortunately misunderstanding got cleared up and they're back to being wholesome together ^^

They're the most wholesome couple this season for sure <3

Keep watching FOR HER.
BlessedBaka 2y
50% of his dialogue consists of "Uhh huh" and stammering "Sh sh shirakawa san". The whole plot of the episode could have been avoided if he opened his mouth and came out with one coherent sentence. It's just infuriating.

Why do I keep watching this...
- CleanUpNick 2y
  i mean... nobody could do better, it went by too fast, with the rumors spreading and then being caught in that specific moment only to accidentally say sorry which raises the misunderstanding will send literally everybody in that situation into a panic as they try and think of what to say, then you add Kurose walking out only adding to that panic and misunderstanding and Runa running away, there was literally no time to say anything, hell no time to even think of WHAT to say in the first place, most romcoms have a situation like this where it feels stupid because he has plenty of chances but here there was no time to say anything
  BlessedBaka 2y
  I know what you mean and yes of course tropes like this are used all over the place but as someone who watches a fair share of romcom/slice of life I feel like they REALLY push it to the limit here.
  
  The good ol' "wait let me explain!" while she runs away and OF COURSE he doesn't go after her, yep I have not seen that one a million times. And it didn't even play out in a interesting way, you could call from the start this would happen. That's just extremely lazy storywritting in my opinion. Literally most of all "conflicts" that have been there in the show so far could have been easily avoided if the MC just said ANYTHING except his usual "Uhhh..".
  
  Yes of course its supposed to show us how he will grow up in the coming episodes (well maybe) but the way its done is just so bad...
  
  The show had an interesting premise to me which was completely destroyed by the way the story is written and adapted. I expected a kind of more mature oriented story but in the end everything is absolutely predictable and the writing mainly consists of overused tropes we have seen hundreds of times before. Its not even clever with it.
  
  If you enjoy the show that's totally fine I don't want to hate, I also enjoy a fair amount of shows which objectively are bad in some way or another. But saying "nobody could do better" just send me into a little typing rage you could have literally made coffee in the time the MC stammered sweet nothings and let Runa run away.
  
  I think I might just really hate the MC.
  CleanUpNick 2y
  you realize that scene lasted a total of 30 seconds, form the moment Runa showed up to the moment she darted off, in world that would've been like 20, again there was literally no time to even think of what to say and before he could even try and run after her he got bitch slapped lol
  
  the point is that everybody in this situation would panic and try to find the right words and things would always play out the exact same, especially as every single point in that scene only made things worse, from the rumors, then to getting caught, Kurose running off, him instinctively saying sorry at the start of it, every time he could've said something another thing happens that makes the situation worse, while the whole thing is cliche the way it was done was pretty smart since it progressively got worse in a way where the MC would need to stop to think about what to say before things just got worse again
ItzKejuan 2y
Feels like i got slapped with a filler episode smh
VermillionAsh 2y
ngl this episode actually made me like Kurose more. like by no means is she a good person but if you look at the situation from her shoes it isn't too farfetched. I got the feeling that the anime is going to take that route where it's basically the same episode over and over, but I could easily be wrong. I hope so, but we shall see.
AimiTerakawa 2y
I laughed so hard when this line came out but don't know what to feel lmao

Why people assume things without asking the other how things went? It's so frustrating.
