That Kanzaki, despite looking meek, is such a bitch. She dumped Otani for another guy, and when that guy dumped her, she wants Otani for rebound, huh? Gtfo, slut. Irrespective of how he feels about Risa, he did the right thing by turning down Kanzaki and showing her that he's not her doormat at her beck and call. A guy gotta have his pride.
These last few episodes have been such a pain to watch. Seeing Risa moping around for the smallest of things just to have Ootani having to go out of his way in order to comfort her has become absurdly repetitive already. Seriously, sometimes I think he's being too considerate for someone who doesn't show any kind of trust in exchange.
Now regarding Kanzaki, she hasn't been giving me a good impression, honestly. If she will become a recurring character, she seriously needs more depth since so far, the only impression she gives is that of being an snake: she "fell in love" with Ootani, then dumped him because she suddenly "fell in love" with another guy and now that said guy dumped her, she goes back to her first option since she knows Ootani genuinely had feelings for her.
Wasn't too much into this episode but the final reveal redeemed it. Before, it wasn't amusing to have Nobu unable to list positive traits of Risa that do indeed exist, but it was also nice the italian dub rap version of Shouganeze (in this country it's used as the actual opening theme) by the two voice actors.
Once someone is dating someone and this one changes him for another and says that he fell in love with the new one, it is that he was not in love with you. On top of that they leave each other and she comes back to try again, eggs and a thousand times eggs xd
Mind you, Kanzaki is probably a super cool girl but...
When Koizumi is about to give up for the umpteenth time, Ootani comes to the rescue! I got emotional tears from that. Damn, is this show making me shed one in nearly every episode, or am I just emotionally vulnerable today? I think not. Haha
About what Ootani said in the end about not wanting to make Koizumi cry. I hope he's not just pitying her. But yeah, going back with an ex is almost always a bad idea anyways. That should never be an option.
I'm glad Ootani didn't try to get back together with his ex as a rebound from her breakup. He knows just how to make Risa feel good even in the most roundabout ways.
