Everyone loves a good swimsuit episode, well I know I do but more so with this episode. Plenty of fanservice to keep the fans happy, but for me, the swimming pool arc is actually one of my favourite parts of the game. Although there are major differences in the game and the anime, it still shows us the underlying tension that is happening between Makoto and Sekai, however in the game at this point, it was more Sekai than Makoto. In this episode I’d say that they balanced it out quite well.

Wow, now that was rather intense between Makoto and Sekai.I was unsure if this show was going to deliver, but it hasn’t failed to disappoint me yet. Although we haven’t seen the meat of the sexual tension just yet, I can guess that we’ll be seeing something happen soon. It is a little surprising to see Sekai help Makoto out this far for “practice”, but deep down, we can see she is enjoying it. However I don’t feel too surprised that Sekai decided to go further ahead when Makoto forced her down. After such foreplay and the way she lead Makoto, we could see it happening.

So with Makoto and Kotonoha’s relationship getting off to a start, we finally see a sign that Makoto’s true feelings may start to swing the other way. Although it is only a small sign, I think we can almost see the reason why he said such a thing about being with Kotonoha. With the episode pace going a bit slow, we mainly have Makoto visiting Kotonoha and playing with her little sister Kokoro, and this could only be a small factor. I believe the main factor that made Makoto think this way is from Kotonoha’s uneasiness of their relationship.
