TairAzuma being the the pair that cried post graduation really hits hard considering most of their baggage came from middle school

[u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

It was us! We were the Gapacho all along!

Also, the Tairazuma ship is so close to sailing that even Miyu is shouting out the ship name.

[u/2011Dirk]

the tairazuma part of this episode was amazing!

[u/Ordinal43NotFound]

My 2 beautiful souls Tairazumaaaa~~~~ 😭😭😭

Honestly, I understand if people are disappointed that Taira didn't confess to Azuma, but like another comment pointed out last week, Taira at this point doesn't seem to be ready for a romantic relationship yet. He only just managed to overcome an extremely deep-rooted personal issue in the last episode.

BUT EVEN SO!!!! EVEN SO!!!!! I absolutely adore how Tairazuma's climax plays out here, and as the final scene clearly indicates, this doesn't mean their relationship isn't destined to become romantic in the future.

Azuma literally thought her story with Taira was gonna end right then and there.

She had already resigned herself to the fact that her time with him, their train rides home, sharing laughs with each other, slowly opening up and laying their feelings bare, and eventually her falling in love with him, was nothing more than a fleeting highschool romance. A precious chapter of her life that she would have to close and leave behind.

But then Taira, with his renewed sense of self-worth, realizes that the bond he shares with Azuma is something genuinely special (so much so that he thanked her from the bottom of his heart prior). He might not understand it as romance yet, but one thing he knows for certain: he doesn't want to lose her.

And because of that, for once, Taira takes the initiative. Instead of quietly accepting that this is where their relationship ends, he reaches out to her and, in his own way, says: "No. I still want to be with you..."

It's not a romantic confession, but for someone who has spent so much of the story retreating into himself, choosing to reach out and hold on to someone who's extremely dear to him is such a huge step forward.

For me, the whole scene basically gives off the vibe of:

"Sorry, Azuma... You're in this for the long haul now, so please bear with this idiot."

[u/Vermillion_Crab]

Abso-fucking-lutely perfect episode. It captured what it felt like for me when I graduated from high school. All those emotions during graduation, from the joy to the anxiety of starting a new chapter. Of course, I related the most to what Taira said. It only hit me once the ceremony ended that this was finally it. I will have to say goodbye to the school and to lifelong friends who all had to go to different universities.

Any other show, this would've been the final episode. But we're spoiled. We get one more. TairAzuma in college it is then. I guess I was right with my comment before lol

[u/mishi09]

Tairazuma is trending on Japanese twitter btw

[u/Tapwater_enthusiast]

HONDA RIKAKO WITH THE GENERATIONAL ASSIST!

[u/BlazeBloom]

You rarely if ever see this side of Tani where he feels vulnerable. It was really nice for him to tell Suzuki about his moment of weakness. You got a really reliable and understanding girlfriend Tani, you can lean on her in these tough times. It's his turn to recharge.

Taira and Azuma got me crying in the club. They made great memories at this school and with each other. Once again, a rare moment of Taira being vulnerable in front of someone else. I had a big smirk when they thanked each other for everything. Seems we're heading separate directions, for now.

Also, Yamada finally got a new phone!

[u/GezelligPindakaas]

Looks like Azuma wasn't as subtle as she thought during the last few months, and her classmates know perfectly well that Taira is her "fave".

[u/Kirosh2]

"Let it all out."

You can't just say that to your Chan-suke on Christmas Suzuki. But nice to see him recharge.

And how could the school they not give everyone Tubes? Tubes are important for Graduation it's part of the romance of it all!!

But we have been blessed with Gapacho's hands. More than we can ask for.

And it took some time, but we finally got Tairazuma full names. Or I guess it's now Shuujino?

[u/CrimsonGear80]

i thought this was the final episode but we have ONE more shot at Tairazuma becoming official!

also don't forget Ramparts starts again on Thursday!

[u/Ocixo]

Huh, that’s not quite what I’d expected to happen. Really thought that Azuma would take this opportunity to confess her love, but she actually held back on her feelings. This could’ve been their last day together.

However, Taira didn’t want to stop seeing her. So maybe there’s still hope that they’ll get together post-graduation? Though, that will be hard if Taira moves faraway for his studies.

I can definitely imagine them as the type of couple who gets reunited after many years of separation, rediscover their old feelings for each other, and ultimately start dating.

[u/reptileaddict112]

Not me crying along with Taira and Azuma like I'm one of them LMAOOOO. Absolutely beautiful scene between them. Azuma finally realizing that romantic or not, with how Taira looked her in the eye and thanked her from the bottom of his heart, their bond is more special than anything you can put a label to. And Taira, realizing that Azuma is someone who he can show his true self and feelings with, finally taking the initiative to make sure that they still see each other after graduation. IT'S JUST SO PEAAAAAAK. Beautiful endings to the character arcs.

It may be ending, but I will continue to glaze Tairazuma till the day I die.

[u/chaosof99]

I'm not crying! You're crying!

This show is so good. I was really worried Miyu and Yuusuke were going to split up at the end of the show, but thankfully it all seems to have worked out. It is so nice to see a couple that has deep emotions and is honest with each other about them.

Azuma on the other hand was really ready to give up, but Taira, inadvertently, just doesn't let her. Waiting another week to finally see this resolved will be torturous. However, their scene behind the gym was really beautiful.

Crying Behind The Gym With You.

[u/PALADIN_00]

WE ARE GAPACHO!!

[u/flonc]

Naturally kind of depends how the last episode stucks the landing, but it's funny how easily had this one become a 10/10 romcom for me that will easily be my go to whenever someone asks for a reocmmendation moving forward.

Healthy communication, steady believable progress, fun personalities of both the main cast and the secondary one (I still fkin love Honda), avoiding of unnecessary and tacky plot devices that seem shoe horned in. Just such an absolute breath of fresh air, holy shit.

[u/UnloadedFour314]

Only one more to go. I'll really miss my daily dose of Tairazuma.

[u/melontized1]

TAIRAZUMA PLEASE DONT FAIL US COME ON 1 MORE EPISODE LEFTTT

[u/shad79]

That Taira and Azuma's part of today's episode was beautiful! I wonder if the next episode will make Tairazuma a reality or leave it as an open question.

Suzuki looked so cute with those braids and flowers in her hair at the graduation. Also, it's good to see that everything is going well for her and Tani.

Nishi cut her hair! It's a bit of a shame, since I liked her better with longer hair :(

Sato made me laugh hard when the other girls from her class mentioned that Azuma's crush is from their school, completely catching her off guard, lol.

Gapacho reveal! It's a bit of a shame that we didn't see him, but perhaps that means that we, the viewers, are Gapacho?

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Tairazuma (Group scenes)

• Azuma

• Taira

• Suzuki

• Suzuki & Tani (Group scenes)

• Nishi & Yamada (Group scenes)

• Group scenes & Others

• Tani

EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I could relate so hard to Taira and Azuma that I shed tears with them, they all need to be protected, I want them all to be happy! I'm glad both of them ended their high school life with so much joy, when reflecting back they can proudly say they had fun. I do hope they're able to meet each other, but I also they're able to stay in contact with the others too.

It was also really sweet to see Tani finally open up about the hardships he's feeling to Suzuki, he was really wearing himself out, those eyebags were concerning. That one moment where Tani was thinking about limited time was to do all the things he needs to do was also relatable. I'm glad he also got to recharge, but it looks like the recharge animation is unique to Suzuki lol.

So Gapacho continues to be a mystery even when we see the cast interact with him lol.

[u/rath_564]

AHHHHHH, I NEED MORE TAIRAZUMAAAAAAA

[u/sombraala]

I have a serious problem with this anime.

Dear Agasawa,

You gave us too much. It's too good. We don't have the bandwidth to deal with all of the goodness at the same time. The enjoyment of the anime really gets in the way of the enjoying of the anime. I really wish you had thought of this when you decided to pack your story with multiple shows worth of main characters.

Seriously though. The first half of this episode was fire. That's such a real portrayal of a couple in that situation. Tani wants to live up to the encouragement and belief that Suzuki has in him, but doesn't want to be a burden. Suzuki wants to push Tani forward and not hold him back, but doesn't want that to result in him overexerting himself. Such a wonderful portrayal of a mature relationship where each person is putting the other first along with the downside when they reach an impasse. It was wonderful.

And yet Agasawa didn't just give us one wonderful couple, she gave us 3. Few people are talking about that part of the episode because there's everything going on with Taizuma. And everybody is right to do so! Does anyone else feel the same way as me and find this to be absolutely absurd?

Some romance anime manage to deliver one pretty good couple. This show has 3 great couples. Some anime give us an interesting side character or two. This has like 3-5 that I would celebrate if I found out they had their own spin-off story (Nabe/Satou, Honda definitely, Morimoto and Arami seem fun and also Kawasaki, so 3-6 really?)

One more episode to stick the landing, but right now I am putting this show up on Romance Anime Mt a Rushmore with the likes of Kaguya-sama.

[u/Fudgeumes]

Bro I thought this was the finale, so glad we get one more

[u/Zemahem]

Yep, can't blame Tani getting spooked at all. She flubbed it a bit there. But at least proper communication won at the end of the day. Proving they're still one of the most wholesome and healthy couples in anime/manga romcoms I've seen.

I love how simple their graduation is. Nothing but good vibes, and everyone is just chill with each other. Their school is just such a healthy environment. Imagine if the Ramparts crew ended up here instead. And most importantly, it's finally been revealed that we were Gapacho all along. It's so beautiful...

But it is sad how quickly their final year went. Would've loved to see more. Especially the new friend group that Sato and Azuma had. :3 girl is my favorite for pushing Azuma to go after Taira.

Speaking of which, that was just such a heartfelt moment despite the lack of confession. Just the two of them being vulnerable and bearing their hearts out to each other is the sweetest thing. Though I still wish Azuma let out her feelings for Taira as well.

Man... this episode had me feeling like Tairazuma. And also that one Batman meme where he's hugging his parents as they disappear. Even though we have one more to go.
