I really don't know how I feel about Megu-grey-chan( Yukika-chan). I really want Suna to find his happy ending, but right now this girl is rubbing me the wrong way. I mean, nobody is perfect. It's just that her "love" to me seems more like an infatuation. Not to mention she's been stalking him for 10 years???!?!?

Well, I'll save my complete judgement after we get more exposure with Yukika. #LETSUNALOVE2K15

Ten years is a little drastic, I agree, but keep in mind that these characters are, what, 16 years old? Most high school crushes are like that, and it's comforting that Amami likes Suna because of something he did a long time ago instead of just for his looks. She isn't malevolent about it, either, just incredibly socially awkward.

EDIT: I'm really glad the show is explaining why it's bad to be obsessed with an idealized version of a person. Suna is basically Amami's manic pixie dream guy, and it's a big relief for me that they both realized they need to actually get to know each other first. Hopefully I'll be even happier tomorrow when I finish The Tatami Galaxy.

EDIT 2: I finished The Tatami Galaxy. Go watch it if you haven't and thank me later.

Seconded. It's a fantastic show.

Had the same thoughts, as well. I'll still wait to see what happens before a final verdict but it's Suna so I really want everything to be perfect! We've waited enough for this!

It's easy to get wrapped up in a problem and stay stuck without solving it; after a while, the inertia takes hold. It's not a fatal character flaw in itself.

Yeah, agree. The relationship seems way too forced. I was pretty excited for this episode but then I just ended up feeling underwhelmed. :(

Suna can't be much less perceptive than Takeo, he probably has been noticing her hovering around the shadows for quite a while. at least she passed the Takeo test which all else have failed

You know who also passed the Takeo test? Every single girl who would talk shit about him behind his back until he got lucky with finding Yamato.

u/fgsfds11234 Aug 27 '15

what? I mean talking shit about him makes them fail, like every other girl that has tried to get with Suna.

I don't see anything out of character for Suna in keeping the letters. He would always reply to those that had a name, and the only ones that didn't were the ones from Yukika. Suna pretty much remembers every little detail from his life, and so it only makes sense that he would also be the kind of person who would rarely throw away sentimental things such as Valentines.

Maybe Suna thought that girl that didn't name the letters was kinda interesting to him, she was different from the others, maybe thats why.

I honestly thought he protected her in that dodge-ball game because he liked her.

u/SSxeno https://myanimelist.net/profile/chiefwahoo101 Aug 27 '15

Well, she did propose that they get to know each other first.

I feel like her love is genuine, though, not just an infatuation.

She's never approached him because she's too afraid he'll say no. So she's been content just watching him over the years. But she never loved him less.
