I know this is anime and anything can happen so they "staying together forever" might as well come true but I'm glad people are actually telling them reality doesn't work like that. Yes, they're in love but they're like what 15? And staying together forever is like 90% not a sure thing. But we'll see.

God you know you're getting old when you're worried about them going to the same school because of such a young relationship.

Good luck kid, I hope you make it through, your exams, and to marriage.

With the way how this anime keeps baiting our expectations that they solve literally every conflict at the exact same episode, i think that Koutarou literally doesn't make it, but koumei decides to accept him at the end. But i felt like that was a rather "weak?" ending just to create emotional tears from the audience (and a little bit cliche though I'm not sure about it)

Or i can see that Koutarou makes it but his family isn't moving to Chiba (Since its a 2 hour train and they only meet at school) or they can be referring to that.

But for me, it still feels like Koutarou won't pass seems like high time for me. I wonder how will this anime chooses.

They could make any ending work as long as there's a flash forward showing them living happily ever after >.>

Edit: I didn't view the sister's statement as a "Break-up flag" like other people have. If anything, she was solidifying just how strong her love is. I read it as the show trying to reinforce the idea that their relationship is stronger than normal middle school relationships.

Hmm will it go for the realistic route or the romance fantasy one? I'd be fine with both, depends on how they handle it. Based on what happened and the style I expect a separation but who knows.

90%? You're nice of everyone I've known, none of the relationships from middle school or even early high school were able to hold till adulthood. Late Highschool is very rare but not non-existant, only college onwards do you see the stats rise.

I'm fine with long distance relationship as long as they don't break up. Even if they are far apart they still have LINE and they can meet at the holiday. Studio feel please don't let's them break up pretty pleaseeeee.

Given how the series goes out , I am pretty sure that the last episode will be a happy one . Pulling out a bitter sweet or a sad ending just not fit by how the stories goes by far. And besides , sad ending just make the whole stories and development worthless . Well , lets just see how it ends .

IKR! this episode (though the focus is on parent-child relationship) made me say "guys you're still on middle school!!!" still, I keep cheering on them. But this feeling about they broke up is haunting me...i hope for the best...

the slice of life on this one is so strong. mom is a strongest person in the world.

their conversation on the phone getting awkward by each episode, not for them but for us reading it. lol
what happen if Kotarou did not make it, which is most likely or realistically to happen. akane's sister was right, going to school together just because of relationship, total bs but I respect the determination and final episode for the real answer, smh.
I'm more interest into what he is going to do for his light novel career.

Someone can tell me the soundtrack at final scene? sound familiar or rather nostalgic but I cannot guess the song.

Haven't said my thoughts but so far this series is really making me tempt to give it an 8, well when the series ends next week I need to process my thoughts.

Kinda funny how things or situations were going on getting resolved rather quickly, if you ask me. While I don't think it is bad its pretty nice to do it and all.

Also I really ship the main duo so much that having them go on a far-away distance or probably a break up would be a bad move for the series' end because I think it means it essentially built up the relationship and the character dynamic for nothing more than for cock teasing.

I hope even if it goes to that direction at least in some sense to have some way to where it doesn't feel like a blatant one. I guess. Hope its not the case but if it is I don't want it to become a blatant one in the end, more a bit vague if anything.

Really cute and tense episode. It was nice seeing Kotarou working hard and Akane supporting him.
Glad Kotarou also reached an understanding with his parents. They do a lot for us kids, and the simple thanks from Kotarou was very satisfying.

While short, the Christmas portion was really sweet and charming, seeing just how lovely their affection for each other is. I am scared however. The show has always come back to any foreshadowed or implied ideas and scenarios, and the warning from Akane's sister has yet to be addressed.

Please God of anime just let them have a happy ending, my frail heart can't take much more

I don't think it'd make sense that they broke up in the next episode. Why would they brake up? Even if Kotarou doesn't make it to the same high school, they should still try long distance relationship. Getting the development for them to suddenly brake up in one episode doesn't seem likely. I just hope it's not rushed.

You probably never tried long distance relationship, right? It's literally painful and almost never actually works.
I really hope that he will pass his exam. I can't imagine bad end in this anime.

This is the problem with original anime. After manga adaptation, you can always continue the manga (like Suzuka or Kimi no iru Machi), but here?

Hey did u read mstx or whatever four letter word it is the guy posted . If that shit happens i m gonna be depressed. What I get the feeling is it is a show with character design similar to true tears and 5 centi per sec. So to tell u the truth, I don't know what goes in an author's mind but they r screwed up person who will show us a bittersweet ending. So I hope for lamenting after watching ep 12. N this was the most realistic romance and a slice of life anime. This how real world works and I loved it, you can easily relate to it and it feels too damn real. I am not hyping to get a timeskip, just get together in highschool that would be more than enough.

Great episode there. It almost made me cry.

I'm super anxious to see how finale will turn out. Stuff have been so good up until now that I can't help but worry since it's all the more reason to deliver a bittersweet ending.
And if Koutarou doesn't passes the exam after finally getting support from his parents, no doubt the relationship isn't going to work out after all that foreshadowing done this episode. I'll be heartbroken if it delivers a sad ending.

I totally agree with you. Breaking they up will makes all those progression during the whole series a total waste. Besides if they break up, people will be furious and makes some people won't watch any series from studio Feel anymore. They even wish to be together forever. I be super furious if this series doesn't give us a happy ending

Exactly. With so much development of interactions and emotions that Akane and Kotarou has shown , breaking them up at the last minute is just a total turn off. Though the possibility of a long distance relationships is available , but then going for that direction doesnt seem like a good choice for studio Feel to choose. Sad ending just doesnt fit right with how the stories goes and well , lets just hope we get a good ending and I will miss this series a whole lot .

Not to mention they also have social media like LINE or Twitta and many more, they should be fine with the long distance relationship, with two hour trip they can meet in holiday too.

This really takes me back...
The struggle to get accepted into a school that you want to go to... arguing with the parents... and finally seeing that your parents give their unconditional support at the end...

I really hope this won't end on a bad note. Would really kill the whole story for me.

Seeing that they do still have some issues to be resolved (such as Koutaro's aspiration to become a writer), perhaps there'd be another season for this? Not really holding my breath here, but it'd be good if they have a continuation for this.

Realistically, Kotarou going to the same high school that takes two hours to get to (and two hours to return home) every day just to be with his girlfriend would probably end up very disappointing on the being together end.

To begin with, they probably wouldn't have much, if any, time to meet in the morning after Kotaru's long commute. They will more than likely not be in the same homeroom. They probably won't have any of the same classes. They might not even have lunch at the same time so they might not even be able to share lunch together. So how much time would they get to spend together during the schoolday? Probably none.

And after school, well, Akane will have club so they won't be able to spend any leisurely time after school, either. If Kotarou hangs around for her, he could spend a few minutes with her before they each head home for the night.

Travel time every day: four hours. Time spent with girlfriend every day: a few minutes, or more likely, none.

Well, i've the bad feeling that he will not pass in first try. His exams notes showed us he struggles. Notes are not that bad, but neither good to be 100% sure he will pass.


For ep12 as example:
first part of ep. 12 he will fail.
some drama appears.
in the end of ep. 12 he gets 2nd chance and pass then. The end of show both go to private highschool together.

And hopefully the preview text ep. 12 is just big joke (on page 1).

Watched this last night then went to bed so I didn't get to be apart of the discussion yesterday.

Anyways, I enjoyed this episode. The Christmas gift giving scene was adorable! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Kota to pass that fucking entrance exam... I really hope there isn't some bullshit melodrama that gets randomly thrown at us next episode.... just a week to wait....

Also, it's worth mentioning. Why do you think the two don't tell their parents about their relationship? Like, I'm sure Kota's parents would understand him applying to an out of city school if he just said his girlfriend for, what seems to be almost the past year, is going there. He would've just eliminated the nagging from his mother, but oh well, gotta fill up that 22 minute run time somehow!!!!

Seeing this episode, so many flags we're raised that I was trying to push to the back of my mind. Didn't like Azumi's mock exams scores one bit despite his constant studying, the sister's flag raising and overall how well the anime have been bringing this couple up the past 11 episodes. Just feels to me like they'd want to do a tragic story just to hit that Shinkai or 5cm/s feel.

I really hope that this anime doesn't end tragically, I've become so emotionally invested in these characters that it'll literally hurt me if the ending ends up sad as shit.

Like many people here, I also want a second season about their high school life.

Maybe they'll break up like Akane's sister said. Then probably one of them or both of them will meet someone else and start dating. And the whole point of the season would be "are they going to get back together at the end???" And of course they will because up until now they have overcome every crisis.

I know right!!! I cried from when his Dad told him that his mom fought for his decision to apply to a private school, to the end lol.

There's a point in every kid's life when it's uncool to love your parents, but we would be dead without them.

^^
Rene Liu's "Hou Lai" (Afterwards) is a much newer Chinese remake of Kiroro's "Mirai e" (to the Future) - released in 1996, which is likely what Touyama Nao's version is based on.

I have a feeling Kiroro's version was probably a remake of yet another older song since it has a much older feel to it (maybe even from the 70's or 80's), but I can't find any reference to it.

This series just continues to hit it out of the park with the insert songs. Just beautiful..

Unfortunately, original anime like these rarely ever get a second season. It's all about popularity and sales and from what I've heard from different people Tsuki ga Kirei is just sub decently popular in Japan. Don't think studio feel will make a OVAs or second seasons of animes they know wont sell that well.

Of course, I could be wrong, in fact, I'd love to be proven wrong. I feel like multiple OVAs would fit better rather than a full season though.
