I truly love the poetic part of this show, when the two main characters invest themselves into books and monologues with gorgeous backgrounds and soothing music. It's beautiful.

We know more about Kondou's background. This episode was much better than the previous one.
BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

He's really passionate about books, guess that's part of his appeal to Tachibana!

I love how Akira and Kondo are mirroring each other in this episode. The swallow's tale at the end blending both of their passions together and the regret they're harboring for not pursuing their passions. Akira was knocked down by her injuries and lost a lot of her will, and I can imagine something happened with Kondo to drive his writer's block home. Having someone you're that close to support you is so pivotal to your passions, and damn if it didn't warm my heart to see Kondo open up after Akira rooted him on!

I like metaphor about the swallow. First it was about Tachibana who had quit running, but still yearned for it. Then it was about the manager who had given up on writing, and also somewhat forgotten his passion for it.

I'm glad that she can still run (with a little work of course) and that he encouraged her to do it.

clap clap !! That tidbit about the shortest letter was interesting and it paved a path on which the two connected .Tencho giving up on his passion after unilaterally chasing it causing strife on his marriage .His self loathing probably arising due to that .He needed to hear the words of her to be set free ,as much as her .The swallow metaphor was brilliant.
