Gawd damn the amount of detail they skipped in anime is just infuriating everything is making way much more sense now when I'm reading manga -_-

Yeah... The more I'm reading, the more I wish they just reproduced the first several chapters up to at least the proper start of the relationship into the episodes, and then from that point maybe grab some choice moments for the rest of the series, but there's just so much omitted (and even unnecessarily re-arranged, like how the segment about comparing hands and handholding happens before the argument and fight between Izumi and Tooru, so it can't have Izumi reflecting on what Tooru said while he's handling the DVDs and cases after the handholding and indirect confession incident) as it is in the anime.

The fact the 'second season' is also more of a supplementary season telling other stories that happened alongside the ones they told in the first season makes it feel even worse, in a way.

But still, I enjoyed it for what it was, and it made me want to look up the manga, so there's that...


Also, this entire chapter, pretty sure, was in the anime, at least. It was the first segment of Episode 4. But still, so many chapters before this seemed to get skipped. But at least a few of those bits got reproduced into the aforementioned supplementary season, the 'Missing Pieces' thing, like the Kyoto trip. Just... wish it was all chronological and no actual gaps. I don't care if it reached all the way to graduation or not, I just wish it covered what it could more coherently and completely.

Lel... Sengoku calls Hori a super-sadist... When in reality she's an M... To be fair, it's because she was kinda a bully to him, which was revealed the chapter after the confrontation in the hall, even though she thinks of him as just a childhood friend. I don't know if it's expanded upon later, but the anime made it quite clear that she has to help with student council activities to avoid Sengoku telling everyone how horrible she was to him in elementary and middle schools ... the anime (I think it was in the Missing Pieces season) also revealed that the senior Sengoku, the student council president's father, has a similar relationship with Hori's father, where the elder Hori was, and still is, a menacing presence to the elder Sengoku.

As for Sakura Kono... The anime makes it hard for me to root for her, since it felt like Tooru never really showed her interest, and if anything he seemed more likely to end up with Yuki... but maybe that's a more contentious love triangle in the manga?

While at first I thought it would be Toru x Yuki, it definitely might be Toru x Sakura... let the ship sail.
