Sawako can't smile anymore... Sawako T__T
Minnie: Thanksgiving weekend is coming up for all us Americans~ I won’t be having much of a break because I have a pile of work to do. Too much writing and reading T__T I mean I did ask for it when I signed up for three English classes in the same semester but still! At least, there’s some Sawako in Kimi ni Todoke to help me get by this weekend <3 
I love you Sawako and I hope everyone is still sticking to this show! Let’s move on!
Minnie’s Overall Rating for Episode: 9/10
Minnie’s Anticipation for Next Episode: 10/10
Thoughts: A pretty good episode to start off this arc in the manga. I’m starting to really warm up to the minor characters, other than Kazehaya and Sawako. I especially starting to love Yano <3 
I like how these characters are growing by the second. Oh, and Miss French Doll, stay away from Kazehaya. >___< Sigh. Love rivals =/
Fangirling:
I don’t know why but these two act ridiculously like real life, chatter girls… it’s so sort of weird to find these kinds of things realistic in an anime like this. And of course, our rival here is playing the innocent, cute, and shy girl of her class. I know how that is, but still, what the heck?
You know… I want to be able to smile and turn people to ice. There’s no need to feel bad about it, Sawako. It means you’re just that influential <3 Haha~
I love how these sort of common day things to us is soo new to Sawako. I mean, I naturally call most of my friends with nicknames and pet names and all that good stuff, but Sawako finds that she needs permission to do these things. Then again, she believes that she needs to ask people whether she’s friends with them or not to actually be friends. Oh Sawako~
At least… Kazehaya should be thankful that he’s not on the friend, non-man ladder… 
You know… though most of you guys probably don’t like Pin for this personality of his and how he states this… I have to agree with him =x It sounds logical to me. XD
Man, I love this scene because I’m a competitive person myself ^^ Hurray for being competitive~
Oh Sawako <3 What a good person you are. Then again, we all know that already~
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Kazehaya/Sawako kawaii moment for life!! Hurray~! ^_____________^ Can it be like Ichigo 100% Sawako is going to fall for Kazehaya by seeing him exercise? That’ll be so awesome. <3 I hope Sawako realize her feelings soon. ^^ And make my couple come true~
The rival with Aya Hirano’s voice (I’m guessing; not know for sure until I check) is actually not too horrible so far. She seems okay. I still believe that’s going to change soon enough. I mean, she has nothing against Sawako until maybe…
At the sight of Kazehaya like this and watching Sawako from afar with such a mesmerized expresson on his face…
Will our doll of a girl snap? Will she do something horrible to Sawako later in order to get rid of the competition? In all seriousness, I don’t like the look in her eyes and I sort of know where the story is going. Let’s hope that no matter what, Sawako will convert this girl into her minions <3
KAZEHAYA! Yay for you being awesome and giving Sawako a soccer ball to practice with! And showing her where she can practice. God, I love this couple and I especially love Sawako. I hope everything goes smoothly for them from now on. It’s not possible cause its SHOUJO and it follows a specific formula, but it’s okie. The wait is worth it <3
The title of the manga! Hurray! Anyways, this is one lousy review with little fangirling and short paragraphs and stuff, but this is the best I can do at around 4 in the morning. T__T And after a Black Friday too!! T__T But anyways, I won’t complain anymore. I hope next week is better for me. If there are any typos, please tell me. I can’t wait for more Kazehaya/Sawako in the future <3 ^^
Loved this Ep. I don’t think the rival is going to plain snap, she’s too smart for that. I hope she stays with her smart, silent attacks, one that make her look innocent. Personally, I actually like her, as she realizes that going right out and openly targeting the one that your crush has a crush on will backfire. that is something alot of shoujo antagonists do not realize.
I think the rival might go for the “I’m your best friend, trust me” scam.
The new (ar)rival will be a regular rival and not snap and turn into a backstabbing b**** like the rumor spreading ones earlier. Remember that she commented on them that Kazehaya would never fall for girls that do that kind of stuff so it’s very unlikely she’ll resort to the same kind of tactics.
In all honesty I even wonder if she really likes him or likes him because he is a very nice and popular to boot as I don’t get a real in-love-vibe from her. Whatever it may be it doesn’t matter as Kazehaya and Sawako becoming a couple is a foregone conclusion. She’ll still muddy the water though giving us something to wail, gnaw, yell, smile and cry at.
I wonder if she will become one of those reformed villains after a while. At first, she’ll cause problems that it will take everyone else a while to figure out is her. Then after those problems get resolved and she is found out, she’ll probably apologize (not really meaning it, claiming that it was an accident or not really her fault) then be accepted back in, then pull some stunt again and finally change to being a good girl when Sawako wins her over.
The manga (at least, the scanlated chapters of it) still hasn’t gotten to the point where we know for sure if the (ar)rival (love how you worded that by the way, WillTRiker, hahaha) is good deep down or just a big bitch. I’m betting on Serenity’s hypothesis that she’ll be won over by Sawako in the end–because we all know that Sawako doesn’t have it in her heart to hae someone, so even if she’s betrayed time and again she will want that person to be her friend. Which admittedly is a part of Sawako’s personality that I’m not too keen on and is why Yano’s my favourite girl in this series, ahaha.
