Damn shoujos always do this, but this one is getting pretty good.
She needs to beat the &$*@ out of that bitch and finally be happy.

Is Sawako about to kick some ass?

I hope the answer is yes, though there's really only one predictable storyline that can come from that.

I can imagine Ayane and Chizuru will come in and do some epic butt kicking, but thats a bit plain. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Shouta comes in and we get some funky repurcussions. Still love this anime though.

Incidentally I just finished reading volume 1 of the manga. It follows right up to episode 3 or so, but theres not a lot of differences between the two. Also a lot more tears, "Kazehaya-kuns" and a Sawako smile that rivals the anime version :3

I'm really enjoying this so far. It's been a while since I've watched a love/friendship orientated anime and it hasn't disappointed me so far. You can really sympathise with the characters.

Hopefully they will adjust the pacing for the next couple episodes. I tend to get distracted during long Sadako monologues.

Here is where all that time she spent reading The Complete Idiots Guide to Verbal Self Defense comes in handy:

"Did you bathe today? Because your manners stink."
"For a minute there, I realised I didn't know you, and that was the happiest moment of my life."

The cliffhanger ending freaking killed me. After 20 minutes of HHHHNNNNGGGG and tears, having a cliffhanger ending hurts so bad.

I would like resolution soon ;;_;; just so much MISUNDERSTANDING. I just started bawwww'in when she started crying
