I dont realy like Rui's hair long, it just doesnt suit him, and neither does this new bad boy attitude.

It was interesting to hear about france, especially sence i learned about the things that Rui talked about in my French class

Rui knows how to disturb the mood, but why at a time like this? He only confuses Makino, though I also think that her feelings might became more certaing for Domyouji after this. Loving the story plot so far~

In real life Rui will go and have sex with her [and dumb her], and Tsukasa will either have a go later on or loss interest altogether; either way she'ld have been out of the picture!

I'm thinking Rui couldn't forget about Tsukushi while he was in France and that has spurred on this pursuit of her. And I can't blame Tsukushi for being confused, especially when Tsukasa's assholiness stomps out any established feelings she has for him on a regular basis. I still find him more sincere than Rui, though. With Rui, I feel like this whole thing is just a game. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Considering half the characters in this series have the same face Sakurako must've been really hideous.

Great, Rui is back. - _ -;
(His hair looks like a fraggle btw, not much better than Domyoji. /and at least HIS straightens out when wet and looks nice.)

Btw, Tsukashi, the guy you like is kind of an asshole and the guy who likes you USED to be an asshole. Not too complicated, really.

Me when Tsukasa put his arm around Tsukushi with that cute little sassy look: "YES BOO BOO"

SERIOUSLY RUI?!?!? WHAT IS UP WITH YOUR TIMING. Just when Tsukushi is starting to like Tsukasa you come back from France asking her out. This anime will be the death of me, I swear. You "had your eye" on Tsukushi this whole time? That's why you left Tsukushi for Shizuka right? I'm sooo sure :/

He's such a fuckboy. Once he's was done with Shizuka he comes running back to Tsukushi to toy with her emotions yet again. Tsukushi has been through more than enough because of you and your mind games. Why couldn't he just stay in France...

And I'm sorry but that girl's voice that Rui was with had me in stitches "Ya know you're a very attractive maaan" haha😂

AND REALLY TSUKUSHI?!?! RUI DOESN'T REALLY LIKE YOU LIKE THAT. STOP STRESSING OVER THAT BORING, WET MOP OF A MAN. Jesus, I swear this chick never learns. Newsflash honey: He left you how many times to go with Shizuka Todo??? I can't with her...just choose a guy already! My eyes rolled so far in the back of my head when she said she didn't know if she should date Tsukasa anymore. This girl is a trip but I love every second of it.

But for real though, Tsukushi is way too nice for her own good sometimes (then again, maybe she's just extremely naive). I can't believe she had enough compassion and kindness to stand up for Sakurako. I know I wouldn't be able to.

And lastly, Tsukushi and Rui feel like brother and sister to me. I don't sense any real chemistry or sparks between them. Tsukushi and Tsukasa on the other hand...and is that really all Rui could contribute to the conversation? DOG POOP? Ugh he is so UNBELIEVABLY dull.

THANK YOU!!! THIS is what Tsukashi needs to learn. Rui never had, and never will in my opinion, have real feelings for her. He toys with her emotions and mind like it's a game and I hate it. So manipulative and cruel.

More interesting "quotes" from Domyouji.
Why are girls like Makino attracted to enigmas like Rui?
I wish that this drama could end by their parents hiring an expert therapist to sit them all down and make them each explain their honest feelings to the group.
They say there wouldn't be a story. I say no, there would be a different story. A story about characters growing into better people through proper communication!
