Short Summary:
Now that I’ve already seen the final episode I’m not very motivated to write a long summary, so let’s do it short:
Makoto screws a lot of girls, Sekai discoveres she’s pregnant and tells Makoto about it in front of all their classmates. makoto can’t understand why all girls seem to drop him afterwards and Katsura goes totally crazy, talking to her switched off cell phone the entire episode.
In the end Makoto and Kotonoha meet and he sees what he’s done to Katsura he loves her. It seems she returns to being normal after this confession.

My opinion:
This episode tops everything that has been there so far. Makoto is a male whore and sleeps with every girl, one time even with three girls at once. And now Sekai is pregnant and Katsura out of her mind.
I guess we are all waiting for a bloody end!

Short Summary:
Katsura sleeps with Taisuke / is raped by Taisuke while Makoto and Sekai are outside and dance happily together.
The next day on the train Makoto apologizes to Kotonoha for not coming to her at the reception of her classes haunted house the other day. Katsura is happy, but not as much as Taisuke at school (guess why!). He looks for Katsura to tell her he was so excited yestserday he could not sleep and that he’s got special tickets for a christmas dinner, he wants to spend with her. Kotonoha behaves very cold, tells him she’s got no feelings for him, but is Makoto’s girlfriend, and that he should forget about yesterday, too. She leaves and the disappointed and suprised Taisuke drops the tickets. He runs to Makoto to aks what’s going on and wether he’s two-timing Saionji, but Itou confirms he’s not going out with Katsura anymore. When he goes outside to dump some garbage bags he meets Setsuna, who once more wants him to promise to her he will look for Sekai, when she’s gone. Sekai still does not know Setsuna is going to leave the country.
Suddenly Kotonoha turns up and asks wether Makoto is free the next afternoon, but Makoto turns her down and makes clear it’s better if they don’t see each other anymore. Setsuna trys to meddle again, but Katsura threatens her to tell Makoto and Sekai she kissed him during the school festival. Setsuna reacts with kissing Makoto and telling Kotonoha they are lovers now. Katsura can’t belive what she sees and slumps down. Finally Makoto directly tells Katsura he does not love her anymore.
Later Sekai looks for Makoto, but can’t find him, so Setsuna offers to look for him. Actually she does find him, having intercourse with Kato once again, who makes wuite clear she’s okay with a sex only relationship.
Afterwards Setsuna comes to Makoto’s apartement to speak with him. She wants him to break up with Kato, too, so he’s only Sekai’s boyfriend. In return she offers him her body. In the meantime Sekai attends a party of the basketball club. She did not know it was not going to be a real party but the presentation of a vidoe taken by a hidden camrea in “the lounge”. Sekai’s friend starts to cry and breaks down, while Makoto has to face the truth: On the video Makoto is doing it with Kato!
Sekai starts tu run and tries to call Makoto who’s not answering his phone. In the end Sekai meets Katsura on a bridge. Kotonoha is carrying a big bag which makes strange jingling sounds and asks for Makoto and Setsuna. When the two girls’ eyes meet you can see Katsura’s look is empty.
Setsuna is at the airport to leave the country, but makoto comes running after her.

My opinion:
I never thought it could get THAT worse! What an awesome episode, I’m late with blogging about it, so I won’t say too much. There was a lot of developement for all the characters this time and some cruel hints were given this could end really bad.
Actually it started really bad with Taisuke and Katsura having sex. When I watched I wasn’t too sure about that, but after reading the comments over there at Random Curiosity it took a closer look and there’s no doubt those two had intercourse. Look at the last photo, what are those milky white stains on the floor? But wether Taisuke raped her or not, I can’t tell. I would say she was in a state of shock and just let him do it, but perhaps we will see in the next two episodes. Go Katsura and kill him!!!

Short Summary:
Kotonoha asks Setsuna why she kissed mAkoto and gets to know it all has nothing to do with herself but with Setsuna and Sekai, so she leaves. The next day is the last day of the school festival, setsuna leaves the work to the others and leaves to watch a play about someone who touched the forbidden rose, because he wanted to do it and nobody was there. But he did not think that he would hurt the world (jap = sekai) but simply doing it, no matter wether somebody knew or not. Setsuna is very touched by this and stays hidden for the rest of the day.
As it is tradition to stroll around the festival with the one you like and dance later on with that person the fight for Makoto begins. Katsura is sitting at the reception of her classe’s hounted house and is waiting paitently for Makoto to come to her by his own will and gets teased by her classmates. Sekai feels like his real girlfriend now and than another girl from Katsura’s class – she likes Makoto since middle school – enters the ring and asks him to go around with her. He’s having fun, while Katsura is desperatly waiting for him and Sekai doing cakes for her class. She looks so happy with her feeling to be his girlfriend. But that other girl – Kato – confesses to Itou and offers him her body…you can guess Makoto can’t resist and sleeps with her. Afterwards he abandons her very fast and dances with Sekai at the festival, till she asks him, wether she’s his girlfriend now. Makoto seems shocked by the question. Katsura was still waiting for Makoto, till his friend Taisuke tells her he’s already gone with Sekai. And while Katsura cries for Makoto Taisuke confesses his love to her. At the end of the episode you can see a ribon falling into water and Kotonoha whispers Makoto’s name.

My opinion:
I guess this has been my favourite episode so far. There’s no way I could hate Makoto more than I do know, the only, really the ONLY thing he cares about is his own libido and he satisfies his needs whith any girl around. It’s fantastic but also terrible to watch how many people around him get hurt by his careless actions. It was presented dramatically perfect in this episode. Like I mentioned in the summary you can see Katsura close to tears and always waiting for him and Sekai so happy now she’s certain he is her boyfriend, while he gallivants around with another girl, and WTF he’s having intercourse with her, just because she’s there, she’s cute and offers herself. He does not think of anyone’s feelings, not even a SECOND! This is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. This show should be called “school hell” or something like this. Die, Makoto, die!

Short Summary:
After Kotonoha has slapped Sekai she begs her to keep away from Makoto. The next day Sekai is absent from school and Katsura asks Itou to go home together, but Setsuna tells her he’s got school festival committee work to do and forces Itou to come with her. When they are alone she asks for his feelings. Makoto admits he first liked Katsura, but feels more safe and calm with Sekai now. Setsuna is content with that answer and tells him to go to Sekai’s apartement. When he is there Sekai reacts a bit reserved, but he’s kissing her rudley and they kind of make up. Sekai comes to school again and acts like everything is okay, but she can’t forget Katsura begged her to keep her hands off Makoto. Finally it’s time for the school festival and everything turns into a weired something with lots of little sisters and zombies *no comment* In the end Makoto ends up cleaning with Setsuna, who breaks the fact to Makoto she’s going to move to France after the festival and she wants him to take care of Sekai. Then she remebers a scene from the past, when Makoto “saved” her from some rude pupils (he actually only talked to her, when she cried and promised to look after her, but she refuses and wants to do everything on her own). Later on the work is finished and Itou sleeps in the classroom. Setsuna wants to make a memory for herself before she leaves to France and kisses the sleeping Makoto. That moment Kotonoha enters the classroom and stares at the two. She can’t believe what she sees, now that she has more or less offered Makoto her body when they met in the train a day ago.
My opinion:
Okaaayyy…this episode hasn’t been the best so far. After the drama that stupid little siters/zombie scene was out of place and I could not laugh, but felt nerved instead of enjoing the sudden humour. Also Makoto was shown from another side, or at least I felt like they wanted him to look a bit better again. They gave a plausible explenation why Setsuna would like him, still she knows he cheated on his girlfriend. Something like this scars a man in my eyes. I had not expected another girl to enter the ring. Above all I thought Setsuna would have feelings for Sekai.
I wonder how Katsura is going to react to this event. I already can’t believe she offered her body to Makoto, what is this girl doing only to keep that idiot??? It’s obvious he’s only lusting after her. Oh I could slap him *arghmpfgrml*

Short Summary:
I watched this episode raw and quite some time ago, so only a very brief summary…
Kotonoha sees Makoto and Sekai together on the roof…she definitley knows there’s something going on between those two. Still she sees herself as his girlfriend and tries nothing to stop the forbidden relationship. Meanwhile more and more people think Kotonoha and Itou broke up and Makoto’s friend even asks Katsura out for the upcoming festival.
To cut a long story short Katsura looses her self-confidence towards the other girls, but she’s brave enough to go to Makoto’s home. Of course she arrives when Sekai is there, but as Makoto keeps her out, she doesn’t know at first. He pretends to feel sick and makes her go away, but before she leaves she recognizes Sekai’s shoes.
Sekai cries, because she’s feeling sad about the whole situation and also leaves the apartement. On the street she meets Katsura, who slaps her.
My opinion:
Drama, ladies and gentlemen, drama. At the moment I don’t like any of the characters. They are all to be blamed for the situation. Still watching this show is gorgeous. It’s not about wether I like the characters and their actions, it’s just damn exciting to see how the drama evolves.
Makoto acted in an unexpected way towards Kotonoha this time (I could have slapped him for his thoughts about Katsura’s breasts when her blouse was wet), although he is bored by her attitude and tries to avoid her a spark of interest glowed the second he was forbidden to have contact with her. I wonder if there either is a bit of brain and heart in that bastard Makoto and he likes her at least a bit or if he’s only attracted by the forbidden fruits again, now that his relationship with Sekai gets more official in a way.

Short Summary:
Makoto and Sekai use every possibilty to kiss and have sex. Still Sekai femore and more uneasy with the situation. She biulds up an illusion they are still doing “training” but she knows its far beyond that and that Kotonoha (= Katsura) has to know about them. One day Katsura actually sees Makoto kissing Sekai (that careless idiots), but it’s only a second on the train andso she tries to think she got it wrong. But it’s obvious there’s something wrong. makoto rarely speaks to Katsura and makes up lies, so he doesn’t have to spend time with her. Instead he uses every minute to silence Sekai with his kisses.
As the culture festival is near, the classes decide on what to do. In Sekai and Itou’s class it’s a cafe, in 1-4 – Katsura’s class – there’s only one suggestion for a haunted house. Kotonha as the representative tries to find voluntears for the task, but nobody is listening and the girls around Otomo start to bully her like so often before. They accuse her of giving perverted glances on the boys, especially on Makoto, whom Otome seems to like since middle school. When the talk comes to Itou Katsura speaks up to them and tells the befuddled Otome she already is Makoto’s girlfriend. Afterwards she has to do some school related work and sends Itou a message she can’t eat lunch together with him on the roof. Makoto forwards this mail to Sekai and takes her with him to the roof at lunch time. There they kiss and confess their love to each other directly. It’s just that moment when Katsura made it to the door of the roof and so she hears she got betrayed.
My opinion:
The episode title already suggested Katsura would find out, but the did it in a dramatic perfect way.
I feel so sorry for Kotonoha…okay, she slow with sexual things, but I really feel like she’s doing her best and she seems to love Makoto more and more and even so much she stands up to her classmates for the first time, when she tells them she’s his girlfriend. She’s proud of that and realizes herself she found a boy she loves. The moment she finds out couldn’t have been more awful.
Although Sekai plays her part in the relationship with Makoto I also feel sorry for her. She also loves him and can’t overcome the temptation to be close to him in any way she can. Still it’s depressing and she wants to tell Katsura as she knows all of this is not okay.
Then there we have Makoto. While I mamanged to sympathize with him at least a bit so far I really hate him know. He mistakes sex with love, hurts all the people around him and he already found out what pressure he can exert on Sekai through…well,…”sexual power”? It’s disgusting!

Short Summary:
Katsura, Makoto and a big bunch of their friends go to the pool together. There Katsura tries hard again and hugs Itou tightly, but he only seems to be bored. Instead he talks a lot with Sekai and even grabs her ass. She tries to make clear her training was really only a training and has nothing to do with love. It’s exactly that what makes Makoto realize he wants Sekai and only Sekai, so after saying goodbye to Katsura he runs back to Sekais place and finally sleeps with her.
My opinion:
WAHHH!!!??? What’s ahppening here? This anime starts of so innocent and now we already have the first sex, between a couple that’s not a couple.
What really annoys me is the fact the want to make it look like Makoto actually likes Sekai, but I don’t belive that. She’s the one who gives in, that’s all. Biggest problem is Katsura seems to fall in love with this stupid moron more and more. I’m anxious to wether Katsura finds out or not. Will Itou end his relationship with her?

Short Summary:
Katsura starts to read romance novels and again reacts even shy when her little sister Kokora-chan asks her wether she’s already kissed Makoto or not. It seems all this makes her think and she really tries to give her best, at lunch time she and Makoto kiss passionatly on the roof of the school, but when it comes to him touching her chest she again reacts prude and more or less runs away. Makoto gets more and more frustrated and treats Katsura abrasively the next morning. She’s got two tickets for the pool, but after Itous cool reaction she doesn’t dare to ask him out.
Again its Sekai who meddles with both. She asks Katsura in what situation she would be ready to have sex with Itou and gets to know Katsura is really the naive, romantic type of girl. On the other hand she offers Makoto to help with a “special-training” so het gets to understand a girl’s feelings. Actually things get out of hand and Makoto wants to sleep with Sekai, but his cell phone interferes and Saionji comes back to her senses. She refuses to do another “trainig” with him. In the end Katsura finds the courage to ask Makoto out for the pool. Sekai is standing in the dark and looks really sad.

My opinion:
Wow, what kind of developement. I was supreised by several scenes, first when Katsura actually kissed Makoto. She’s really trying harder then I expected. Then of course all the “training” with Sekai…I was prepaired for a kiss, but not for what actually happened, or not happened. He’s an idiot to accept her offer and she really should not do it, but I’m seeing it from the romantic side, Sekai’s simply in love with Makoto, so she can’t control herself.
BUT I ask myself, WHY does she like him? It’s obvious he would seize every chance to sleep with a girl, be it Katsura, Saionji or whoever. She should be more proud and not let all of this happen!!!
