This was a rather
boring episode. Although I really like the pairing Chizuru x Masaki, I'm
definitely not up for an episode focusing on Masaki becoming friends with
Yuki's junior in his manga club. Despite this uninteresting episode, I'm glad
that Kimi to Boku's typical comedy wasn't
taken away.
The opening scene of
this episode partially reminded me of the opening scene of the first season.
It's spring season and Shun-chan and the rest are finally 3rd years! Their new
classes weren't so new since Kaname and Shun-chan just exchanged places but I
guess that doesn't entirely mean that nothing change because the 3 funniest
people are together in one class: Yuki, Chizuru and Shun! :3
This episode
particularly highlights the school's sports festival with Masaki and Matsushita
Ryunosuke (Aoi Shouta)
as the committee officers. The best thing about the event was the volleyball
match of class 3-4 and 3-3. In other words, it's a volleyball match between
Kaname and Yuta against Yuki, Chizuru and Shun. It's funny that Masaki even
placed flowers in class 3-3's name in the volleyball match because of Shun and
even wishing for their class to win while writing it. HAHA. Now going to the
actual volleyball match, I was honestly not surprised that Kaname also had
those volleyball skills. AND for some reasons, Chizuru never even had the
chance to go show some skills. Oh well. What's really cute about their match
was Yuki and Yuta :3 When Yuki was all bored and stuff, Yuta suddenly attacked
with a pretty strong spike. As for Yuki who was awakened by the sudden attack
of his brother, he fight back as expected of Yuki. He always just need some
push. BUT this episode could have been better if they just played basketball
instead of volleyball. That way, Yuki will look a lot cooler. XD
In an overall look
on this episode. In does resemble the typical Kimi
to Boku. with minimal romance and some snapshots of pretty unrelated
stuffs (Takahashi scenes). The supposedly moving part of the story was pretty
unnoticeable although I was pretty glad to see Yuta being the one to see Masaki
becoming friends with Matsushita. Anyway, with 2 more episodes to go before the
series ends, I guess I'm already feeling a pang of disappointment. The preview
suggests we'll see more of Okamoto Akihiro (Sugiyama Noriaki)
and his girlfriend. He'll be college that's for sure but I don't really care
about him. OR is it going to be a Kaname episode? Now I just have that pretty
bad feeling of not seeing a Yuta x Takahashi episode. x_x
