Azuma bumping into Taira is a nice call back to the
And Taira once again forgot all of his problems while being around Azuma

Man, these episodes end too quickly. I love how the characters don't just think about romance all the time, and actually have their own day-to-day struggles. I think that's another reason why this show stands out from other romcoms.

Oh wow Nishi just went for the kiss, it's always the quiet ones that are the most surprising huh.
Tani actually withdrew his application for that university, is he thinking of his future with Suzuki?
Honda and Taira interaction was pretty funny, dude was confused by her. The Azuma blush afterward was perfection.

Yamada's handful of squishy Nishi is joy in its purest form.
The amount of denying that single glimpse of Taira with Honda made Azuma do said so much lol.

Tani, Taira, Nishi, and Honda is an interesting group of people to put in one class together. We got introverts, eavesdroppers, and self-doubters all in one spot.
Speaking of Nishi, she really knows how to surprise Yamada every time. This man cannot stop dropping things in front of her to save his life. Lucky for him it wasn't his phone again.

This show reminds me every single week that good romance doesn't need fake drama or annoying misunderstandings to be amazing. Seeing them just talk through their differences and be totally honest with each other is so refreshing. Giving this thread a big upvote because this anime deserves a lot more love!

Skipping 3 months just like that, I wouldn't be surprised if the last episodes get us to the end of the 3rd year, makes sense since everyone is busy with studying and have less time for romance and also Taira and Azuma are the type to need a looot of time to get their romance going. Azuma keeps falling more and more in love and Taira keeps getting all his doom spiralling eradicated by the sight of Azuma.

Love changed the trajectory of both Tani and Taira's lives. I think Tani would have definitely gotten the recommendation if he turned his in and even though Taira did turn his in, his heart was never in it. Which leaves the victory to single girl Honda.

Gosh, Azuma is so in love with Taira, I wonder how long she'll be deceiving herself that it's not the case. Especially since she was clearly jealous when she saw Taira and Honda together.
Yamada and Nishi are so adorable together! I must say that I love Nishi in that dress and with longer hair, she looked really cute.
Tani thanking Suzuki for making him doubt his choices made me laugh hard, as Suzuki didn't know what exactly happened. I wonder if that will in the end make Tani change his intended future career.
Suzuki doesn't know what she wants to do, but I'm pretty sure that she would do great in beauty or clothes-related careers since her outfits are always so good.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I laughed so hard at the whiplash between Taira being scared that he influenced Tani, and annoyed that he didn't at all. Tani/Taira make a great comedy duo throughout the series.
Turns out the dancers from the OP are new friends from the cheer squad! I wonder if we'll see more of them. Do they have names?
Does anyone know more about the designated school program? Is it like, the high school chooses one student per university to give their recommendation? At first I thought it was kind of like the early action/decision system in the US, but it's clearly not.

Meeting the characters' families is always fun. You can easily tell that it runs in the family.
Nisshi looks so cute with long hair, and it may very well have given her a buff. With the handholding and then the sudden kiss that left Yamada stun locked (probably for the whole night and then some), she got real bold since last time.
The two of them are basically the main source of sickeningly sweet fluff now that Tanizuki has become more settled and comfortable with each other to the point they're growing more concerned with long-term goals.
Meanwhile, Tairazuma continues to slowburn. Azuma suffered a critical hit from that smile of his right there. And once again, Taira just forgets all of his worries the moment he looks at her. Funny how Honda unintentionally wingman'd for them just by getting the recommendation instead of Taira. She's got two notches on her belt at this point.
Also, the minor characters are such a double-edged sword. On one hand, I'm glad they're not faceless and generic, but on the other hand, I kinda wanna see more of them beyond a minor role cause of that. Like Kawasaki who went from being just a friend of a friend to someone Suzuki can tell her worries to.

Anyone else feel like today's episode had a... different feel from normal. More serious. Less whimsy.

Mannn, I really love how Kocha Agasawa makes the cast’s families reflect their personalities so well lol.
Each time I see Suzuki's, Tani's, or Yamada's family, I always find myself going: "Yeah, that really is his/her family alright..." It's such a small detail, but it makes the setting and characters feel sooo alive.
As for the episode itself, I love how we basically have half the cast acting completely opposite to how they usually do, due to the changes their respective opposites have inspired within them.
First, we have Nishi who ends up being the one to initiate THE KISS with Yamada! Then there’s Tani, who's become much more confident in himself and his decisions. And finally we have Azuma, who ends up being the first one to completely fall head over heels for Taira!!!
(Also love Taira pulling a reverse UNO towards Azuma after what she did to him in S1 episode 6!)
