Art is really getting progressively shittier.

Kaede's story is probably the most individually compelling of all the ones till this.

I love how they handled the dating stuff, with people seemingly accepting Mai having a boyfriend. Their relationship is just too god, I wish more anime had couples like them.

Kaede slowly making an effort to go outside was both heartwarming and sad. I'm glad she could finally go outside, though I expected the process to be a bit slower (I guess it can't be helped, seeing how it's an adaptation that's probably much shorter than the LNs).
The memory stuff caught me by surprise, I didn't even of think of the possibility :( It all makes sense though, after what she has been through. Hopefully she can overcome it.

"kaade has no memories" that sentence was enough to make the episode finish instantly well executed once again

Kaede's arc finally. I'm really interested about her case. Also, it's interesting that it's widely known that in Japan, people die from overworking, doing long-ass shifts with no rest day you know stuff like that and then it's also in Japan where I first heard about neets/hikkikomoris. It kinda balances each other if you think about it.

I'm glad that the director and Mai's co-workers accept the fact that Mai has a boyfriend, well, even the person who took the picture censored Sakuta's face, so I guess that's that. Mai really handled the conference brilliantly to be honest, even when it's about her personal life.

For some reason, I thought that Kaede's goals seemed more like a bucket list rather than just an innocent list of goals. Especially now that her rash is visible once more to Sakuta.

Kaede has stepped outside for the first time, she cried joyfully, Sakuta teared up, and so did I...

Okay, so this is new. Kaede lost memories about anything related to her school. Not only does this make me feel quite sad, but who's the girls that bullied her I wonder.

Kaede's ED...

Strangely enough, I've been enjoying the show considerably more since the Nodoka arc. Probably cuz Sakuta's personality improved and the problems weren't about him anymore. Made it feel less like a harem. This arc might be the best one yet.

Right now, I'd say the show is 5/10.

This was a pretty cute episode, I especially like the beach scene toward the end.

Also, Mai looks really cute in that leather jacket.

I love this episode.

So the last episode's ending was bait, huh? I thought the Sakuta x Mai rumour thing was going to be something big, but turns out it was handled really well by Mai. Really liked how she handled it. Smooth as heck. Didn't deny the relationship, actually admitted and acknowledged it and asked for his privacy to be kept!

Kaede's entire journey is really heartwarming and emotional. She seems to really live around her brother though (the hilarious "with Big Brother" goals). The phone call part was slightly over the top, I think? Fainting? But I can forgive that, they wanted to show how hard that first step is.

But my favourite part has got to be the part where she tries to go outside. The steps were cute (it's important to take breaks often!). The look on her face when she had changed into the dress Mai gave her was serious, anxious, afraid, determined, all at the same time. And then when Sakuta came home, she was ready. The words she said about not wanting to be stagnant, wanting to not be like that forever really hit hard. And the rest of the scene was just powerful.

She clung so tightly to Sakuta and slowly they stepped out. I had a feeling Sakuta was going to "trick" her into going outside. When her confidence faltered, Sakuta left her and she was already outside. When she collapsed to the ground and cried, I was sort of confused what was happening. But then it became clear that she was crying because of joy and also probably because she realised that finally, after a long time of being unable to go out, she finally could. When Sakuta teared up too and they were just there crying, I teared up too. It was really heartwarming to see because Kaede was helped by Sakuta, not by their parents. It was the two of them, and finally after a long time she's starting to get better. And that was all because of Sakuta's care for her, as well as the help of Mai.

Also, how nice is Mai! She's very supportive of Kaede and really cares about her too. Definitely going to be a good wife to Sakuta and sister-in-law to Kaede. It was heartwarming to see that too! And their trips outside: Sakuta, Kaede, Mai, Nodoka. So sweet!

Wait, she lost her memories too? So that's what Futaba meant? Damn. I can't wait to watch the rest.

So the Shoko arc is going to the movies, not the series. Well, can't really complain, means the last two episodes are going to be about Kaede, and that means I have something to look forward to for this series' continuation!

Mai and Sakuta supporting Kaede makes me so happy! The scene of her finally stepping outside was extremely well done and emotional (especially when Sakuta teared up a bit). I'm loving Kaede so far and I can already tell her arc will be my favorite. I'm so proud of her T_T

i love kaede-chan with my entire heart. Ive never felt so close and related to a character this much ever.
I also dropped out in VERY early in school and going out/dealing with reality was extremely hard,just seeing her put on her uniform brought me to tears,it must’ve been so hard for her.

I hope the illness doesnt take the best over her all of a sudden now that her “classmate” approached her...also she doesn’t remember? That seems logical.
Most people block out these type of memories since well,they hurt.

I wasn’t expecting this show to be THIS good

It feels that Makinohara Shouko might be the main mystery of the anime.. At least I'm quite interested, what is the deal with her..
Hm.. It seems that Kaede tries her best, but in the end collapses?.. Hm.. And also marks appear, temperature..
Hm.. Interesting view on life Shouko has.. Or had.. Live every day to become kinder, hm.. Quite admirable goal and direction in life, I think.. It can fulfill with meaning lots of her time and activities, maybe even all of them, who knows.. Make life meaningful and more easy at the same time.. If you know, that if anything, all you do - is to reach to become more kind..
Hm.. Honestly, when Sakuta and Mai stay at teasing level all the time.. It becomes a bit stale, maybe.. Well, as long as they enjoy each other, I guess, but I myself am getting a bit bored by their constant "let me do lewd things" by Sakuta and "you'll be fine without that" by Mai..
Is this the first time we see Sakuta teary eyes?.. When Kaede is happy that she managed to step outside.. I think that maybe it is..
Em.. Is it really a big point, though, that Kaede lost her memory?.. I mean, would really remembering certain people or something - would it be that important?..

Rascal Sakuta strikes again, this time tricking his cute siscon imouto Kaede into thinking she's still in the hallway while she's actually outside, what a bastard of an oniichan. Kaede really should have planned some more breaks here, as punishment free oniichan power refuel for Kaede!

The dating rumor got addressed publicly now and hope nothing goes too far from that

So we got Kaede's (cute little panda bean) problem now and I hope only positive things go on from here, She got outside finally and makes it to the beach

So Kaede met Kotomi but she didn't have a clue but all the reason for that was she forgot her memories seeing what the next episode gives us really makes me curious what's up ahead.

Good episode and I have to say, a massive stepup from the Nodoka arc. Particularly since Kaede's a character that was built up well with some deep rooted issues due to cyberbullying that scarred her mentally for so long, so seeing her even take the steps to change herself by going outside and answering calls was really satisfying to watch, especially since I'm someone who's had his large share of mental issues myself for different reasons. The end though with her and her memories regarding her former classmate when they met at the beach is worrisome, and hopefully the next 2 episodes can continue to do this arc setup justice.

Why of course people are not like that to post pictures of other people on the Internet without their consent. How ironic.

This episode was one of favourite episodes so far. It was very emotional and moving to see Kaede stepping out of the house after a long time. Poor Kaede it's sad how she had to endure all that bullying.


She seems to have forgotten her former classmate, wonder what's all that about.

Damn havent had this good of an episode for a while, really enjoyed it. Poor Kaede, I still wish we got to see their backstory and Shouko now that she exists! That letter somehow gave me chills, lol. So Kaede has no memories of that event, ouch. Also go away, random girl, you're just making everything worse.

I knew we were about to touch on the Kaede Question, right before the end. But the last trauma to dig through would probably be Sakuta's himself - after he's been bailing everyone else out, I can totally picture this trauma being so deep that nobody else would be able to help him in return.

This episode was so wholesome that even Sakuta cried that rascal sister loving Mai loving MC but the memory loss from Kaede was a huge reveal in my opinion... And this episode was too heartwarming for my heart to handle... Kaede really is the most precious girl in this series.

So much has happened in this episode:

1. Mae was able to go public with her relationship to Sakuta.

2. Mae was understanding of Sakuta when he was invited to meet his first crush.

3. So little Makinohara is different to Makinohara-san. Who are they exactly?

4. Kaeda's quest is a series of goals culminating in going outside to the beach.

5. The episode ends with the shocker that she has amnesia. It's her puberty syndrome, and her mark is probably related to it.

Man, this episode was kinda beautiful. Not only has it been set up for quite a while now, but losing your memories and the irrational fear of stepping out do feel a bit more relatable compared to what we have seen so far.

Also, love how all that paparazzi drama was solved so fast. Mai is truly one of the best a boy could ask for.

Teenage girl gets a boyfriend and it's as if the Prime Minister stabbed someone in the diet. The Japanese entertainment industry might be as disgusting as Hollywood. And I wish I could say that this episode is just an exaggeration, but it's not. Adults who are obsessed with famous teenage girls really do get bothered at the idea of them dating to the point where it is contractually forbidden. Repulsive...

The way Mai successfully maneuvered past that relationship controversy was awesome. I'm glad she seems to have defused that powder keg with her pure love as Sakuta said.

Shouko continues to be a mystery, but with Kaede's issues on the brink. It's one Sakuta cannot spare the time to look into! That message he left for her if he did show up was pretty cheeky.

I was always sympathizing with Kaede after hearing how awful her puberty syndrome was, but this episode really showed how bad the situation still is for her. She pushed herself to dangerous levels of exhaustion from simply answering the phone. She also has amnesia too??? Poor girl.

Mai really is the best girl, her reaction when sakuta bring up the makinohara shoko message is so mature, she's really a top tier waifu tho I burst into laughter when sakuta start to scream "mai-san sKIDAAAAA!!!" lol. Kaede going outside with her oni-chan was intense, when she broke into tear and sakuta was also on the verge of crying kinda made me tear up as well. Kaede has no memory caught me off guard (;o;)
