This episode is such a good portrayal of a mothers love and friendship. Where no matter what, they'll always got your back and it's so loveable to watch it. This episode brings warmth to me, and the studio did such a good job

Seeing Rintaro's strange behavior lately, his three friends were convinced something was wrong with him. Following Shouhei's decision, they tailed Rintaro after school—like a bunch of stalkers. Long story short, it seems the three of them managed to make up with Rintaro.

Anyway, one thing that really disappointed me this time was that we weren't shown Ayato fighting the thugs. Ayato, despite his unflattering looks, seems to be incredibly strong. Yes, indeed, this ain't an anime with an action genre. But what's the harm in adding a little action spice?

Coolest guy Ever might have to be one of the greatest episodes of anime I have ever watched and one of my favourites :}

This was such an amazing episode off the bat and I'm glad the boys were able to make amends and tell each other how much trust they have for each other.
I personally felt a resonance to this episode and how me and my boys act and behave, so seeing this animated was so nice to see, i had a smirk the entire episode :}

But, goddman Rintaro is just the coolest guy ever.

I Like seeing positive male relationships like this where they’re not afraid to be vulnerable.

It was a wonderful episode, it's getting better and better in the end, that's a very good thing
because at the beginning I was quite ambivalent

Rintarou, you're very lucky to have friends like that.

It is a shame that they didn't animate Ayato fight, it is kinda crazy that he beat 6 guys alone without or without much help from other two? I would love to see some of the animation for this or at least is there anything about this fight in manga?

The talking with girls and the boys tailing and listening to their conversation was great idea from author ;]

Then the sports festival.. great talk I almost can't believe young boys can have such friendship and talking they did?

Really great episode! Maybe best?

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

This scene amongst the boys at the famires might be sappy, but the emotions were conveyed excellently. Nice execution in this episode!

Didn't know Ayato had that dog in him, beat all of these guys asses without a single bruise lmao, I love the friendship between the guys it reminds me of my irl group, no matter what we trust each other and always got each others backs, who could ask for more? Very fun episode and I really am glad things got settled between Rintaro and his friends in the end.

Cuando empecé el manga y lo deje porque me entere que salía el anime. Este capitulo era el ultimo que me vi en el manga. Ahora voy a seguir con el anime. Pero tengo unas ganas de comprarme el manga para coleccionarlo.

After last episode I wanted something similar to happen with Rintaro's friends that we saw with Kaoruko and Subaru, and this episode more than gave me what I wanted to see.

AWWW HIS FRIEND TAILING HIM IS CREEPY BUT I RINTA REACHING OUT TO KAO AND SUBARU FOR ADVICE IS SO PURE. I'm glad they were there to hear now Rinta feels even if that was weird asf LMAO.

I love Ayato wtf. That was such a sweet moment and was SO satisfying. I'm so glad his friends were there.

That was such a wholesome episode. I have no words, normally I have so much to say but that was just a really good episode and I loved the outcome of it! They're back on great terms!!! :D

Rintarou's friends are the most real anime friends i have ever witnessed, giving your friend the benefit of the doubt cause you trust them and not judging them by the situations their in as well, can these guys get any cooler i think the true title of the episode was "Coolest friends ever"
Uhhhhh...I like anime so deal with it. Anyways whatever you just read...I really meant it (✿◠‿◠)

Right, done with this anime.

Like I said before, you can REALLY tell this shit is written by a woman by how terrible the male cast is written. She just wrote female cast and gave them dicks.

Men don't act this way, nor do they have meetings with women on how to approach their friend group with emotional declarations. Most men say what's on their mind without complicating this shit, unlike women.

I'm sorry but this anime is beyond terrible with garbage, cliched writing (and the English dub has terrible voice acting for the female lead, sounds like an older woman trying too hard to sound "cute").

1/10, moving on.

The way Saku ignored that delinquent was so badass
And a gang like this, Yorita is more than enough
also Rintarou scored a home run while being in a slump
