Rio, hurray! Rio, in my opinion, is more fitting in becoming a bunny girl. Why? I mean, just look at her. Also, seems to be this episode is focused on her

The bottomline is that Futaba is lonely and inhibited.

Her dad is an academic, but we can safely assume that he's a top one, which probably explains how she is a genius. Her mother is a top businesswoman, which probably explains her big house.

On top of her sexy body and her wealth, most people would think she's happy but not. Her parents don't have time for her, and she doesn't relate well to most people, except when she met Sakuta and the other bloke.

Also, when she learned to oet go of her inhibitions did she reconciled with ther other disassociated part.

It's not an Earth-shattering problem, but at least it's relatable.

>mc talks to Futaba as she takes a bath once more. He says he enjoys talking to naked girls behind the walls. They talk about the reason why there are 2 Futabas. The cause is the contradiction in Futaba's feelings, while one side is "the Futaba that wants attention", the other side is "the Futaba that can't accept the means to do so".

>Mai says her manager prohibited them having dates. mc accepts his faith and calls it a tactical retreat.

>mc talks to Futaba with her hair up. when he says he'd be happier if Futaba kept showing her photos only to him, but Futaba says he gets further by that goal everyday.

>Futaba w tied hair gets a message from a stranger trying to make out with her with blackmailing. mc takes the phone and types "I'm calling the cops". Futaba wtiedhair gets uneasy and mc decides to walk home with her. When mc is about to leave, Futaba asks him to stay over and they have a talk about Futaba's parents. Her father and mother are both abroad and they seem to be important people. mc says it's drama movie shii and Futaba replies "it happens a lot".

>mc becomes a bath gatekeeper

>Futaba talks about her uneasiness before they sleep, how she is afraid of growing apart from her friends. mc grabs her phone and calls Kunimi. They meet with Kunimi and Futaba talks further about her fear as she cries. Kunimi tells mc to get some juice for Futaba and Kunimi himself. Funny because no one gets juice in the end, Futaba gets coffee and Kunimi gets soda. He also buys fireworks, they go to the beach and fire the fireworks.

>Futaba ends up deleting her social media account

>Cats walk on mc as he sleeps

>Futaba in the mc's home leaves after seeing the wallpaper of her phone, her otherself, Kunimi and Mc smiling. She leaves her phone behind, mc gets worried and goes looking for her on bike, in a hurry. He finds Futaba in the classroom. Mc invites her to watch the fireworks in a festival, but Futaba rejects saying she'll disappear from their sight. The truth is, Futaba got irritated from the wallpaper she had seen and she thinks her otherself is better than herself, thinks she is useless. After she says all that, mc says "dumbass. you think we choose your otherself to you? anyways, come to festival with us."

>He falls asleep while leaving the classroom, wakes up in hospital. Mai was there and she told that Futaba with untied hair called and informed her. After, mc talks with Futaba. She says after seeing him collapsed, she couldn't just leave him alone. Futaba tries to say something, mc cuts her and says if it's about her uselessness, he doesn't want to hear it. It's okay if she hates herself, he also accepts the events as they are. Futaba says mc is a unique guy by considering his sight of occurences.

>She says she would like to join them watching the fireworks, but mc rejects, saying that he isn't the one she should ask, and he points the phone booths. Futaba goes there, calls someone and asks if it's okay joining them. Suddenly, she disappears. Figures, the one on the other side of the phone was her otherself. She asking her otherself was a sign of self-acceptance and facing with who she really is. "the Futaba that can't accept the means to do so" finally faces who she really is, and becomes one as she was. Quite inspiring, liked it.

>Also she finally has the guts to tell Kunimi her true feelings, not as the one trying to steal a girls boyfriend but as the one just wanted him to know, even she knew the answer before telling. She even tells Kunimi to make up with his gf, considering the posibility that herself or mc is the reason. That's what I call a chracter development.

>Words I've learnt this episode are mondai(problem), hitorija(alone, hitori itself means one person), kirai(to hate), doushite(why)

Futaba sure has some great friends, who would drop everything to go and comfort her at a moments notice! I'm glad she now knows this herself.

Futaba is blessed to have such a good friend, kunimi went "flying" in the middle of night after hearing something happened and sakuta literally cycling in the middle of typhoon just to look for futaba. Seeing all 3 of them in yukata makes me wanna see mai-san in yukata as well, Futaba def would look like a bombshell of waifu in mai-san's bunny outfit tho

What was the point of giving the basketball guy a girlfriend?

It would have been nice to see him and the glasses girl dating

Nice mini-arc. And those melons of the glasses girl

Really good finale to this arc, it’s kinda weird saying that when it’s just the second episode of it but that’s what happens when it’s a shorter arc lol. Only downsides it has for me is one that I already said, being that it’s shorter than the first two, and the other is that it doesn’t really have a big climax moment like Mai and Tomoe’s did, I guess really that would have been the scene in the classroom during the typhoon but imo it didn’t have the same impact as Sakuta yelling at the school or when he forced Tomoe’s feelings out, but even still I think the arc is up there with the first two despite those problems, it feels just as important as the previous two even if it’s shorter.

And man it really leaves you feeling happy for Futaba, of course it is bittersweet because she can’t be with Kunimi but I really love that she’s feeling better about life and herself now, along with her place in the friendship she has with Sakuta and Kunimi, they may be an odd trio but they go together so well. And ngl, even if it was because Futaba’s situation was solved, it still must’ve been weird af seeing her vanish from thin air and return to her other self lol, I wonder what that means too, like was the “original” the one that changed her look up, or were they both original? I like the latter option more and I think that’s the truth, I’m guessing it’s just because they had to become one somehow so that’s why it happened the way it did.

But that’s the end of Futaba’s arc, I would have liked it even more if it was a little longer but I still think it’s a great arc, it really makes me like Futaba a lot more too. And if the end of the episode was any teller, it’s time for Nodoka now, it’ll be a good time seeing her again, but it’ll be anything but normal lol.

The Sakuta-Futaba-Kunimi trio is such a unique group of friends given their respective social standings and personalities. Sakuta and Futaba especially have something special for a boy-girl friendship that's purely platonic, and it's sweet how they realize that.

Did Mai just wake up and become a Super Saiyan at the end there?

I was really hoping Futaba and Kunimi would end up together but it looks like that's not happening. I had a feeling it would end this way but it's really nice that they're still friends.

I was in a similar situation in high school, except in my case it ended with me and a close friend growing apart until we just eventually stopped talking altogether.

Ahhh seems good one Futaba Arc, and that simple story lead to the simple ending. Another girl incoming, even that Shoko still mysterious.
