Episode 8
Kotoura down with a cold..
Manabe's perverted thoughts were LOL
Her mind reading ability was off and he totally used it.
No matter how much of a perv, he's still a great friend.
Kotoura & Manabe date was pretty awkward, but sweet.

Be sure to watch the after credits scene, as it seems to set up what will be the next 'arc'.

I was wondering if they were going to set it up like this. I couldn't imagine how they could have started so serious and dramedy like, then flitter into romcom and back into dramedy.
I don't know that I've become anymore invested in the characters than I would have had they stayed serious.

Episode 8
Of all the appropriate times to use the mistake-blushing-girl-for-being-ill gag, they decided *not* to invoke it when Manabe put his forehead against Kotoura's, much like how her mother did in the past. She was red hot! My world view has been shattered.

Nice date. The scene after the ending song was interesting. I wonder if that was her father that held up that whip.

Episode 8
I like how he tried to take advantage of her not being able to read his mind, but then realized that there was no fun, it surely was not worth him getting beaten up over. He does not want to do something against her will, and dirty thoughts are not illegal. At least the date was nice. And I totally expected what the photo would be.
Although at the end she presumably got her power back, and it looks like she just witnessed a murder. Poor Kotoura.

Really? Granted her power didn't serve her well when she was too young to be socially aware, but now that she is she has the chance to make it into something for herself. She could have a great career as a crime detective.
Other topic: her mom seemed like a nice an nurturing mom to start -- amazing how much she changed when everything unravelled for her. Or was it a change?

Episode 9
Serial attacker on the loose.
Manabe almost stayed Haruka's home.
"Luckily" Moritani saved her.
Everyone was kinda on edge about that attacker.
The appearance of Haruka's mom was a surprise.

Manabe sure can recover quickly from a fierce hit in the gut, can't he? I could think of less painful ways for Kotoura's mom to show that she has just a little bit of maternal connection in her, but I guess they had to go for what plays for laughs. Hmm, yes, laughs.

Episode 9
I thought that it was great when Manabe acted like a total sleeze to get the protective feeling in Kotoura's mother to show, yeah doing something to get hurt works as humour, but I also thought it worked well with his character. I also liked that Moritani got Kotoura to admit that Manabe might try something, but the physical abuse is not cool. It seems like it might be turning around for her as she is seen in front of a body with blood on her hands after the ED. Of course, it was Moritani all along, she already has a history of making men attack highschool students.

I don't think it was her. Moritani has shown no signs of losing conscious throughout the anime. Also she truly felt sorry for her deed so I doubt it was her. I know the ending made it seem like she did it, but it was most likely a false alarm for some unnecessary hype for next week's episode. I think in that situation Moritani was too late in trying to save the girl. The blood on her hands is probably from Moritani holding onto the girl's head.
It was nice to see that there is still some motherly instincts in Kotoura's mom.
