Makoto conveniently forgets about his promise not to pressure Kotonoha, and makes her feel bad about not letting him grope her. Kotonoha then foolishly tells Sekai about the situation, hoping to get some advice. At this point it is pretty clear that Makoto is not at all interested in Kotonoha if she isn’t giving it up, but doesn’t feel the need to dump her yet. He also doesn’t find it at all weird that Sekai knows everything about his life.
Sekai sees her chance, but she is also new at love. Interestingly enough, Sekai is uncomfortable telling Makoto what she wants, unless she cloaks it under the pretense of “practice.” Makoto gets to fondle Sekai quite a bit, before he quickly loses control and tries to force himself on her. All this time, Kotonoha is trying to apologize to Makoto and even ends up inviting him to go to the pool with her (while a wistful Sekai looks on).
This is probably the episode where everyone starts hating on Makoto. All three of the main characters are totally new at love, but they all try to forge ahead in different ways. Kotonoha’s approach seems to be pretty normal, as she’s working her way up to kissing, and even inviting Makoto to a pool for some service. Sekai seems like the direct type of girlfriend that Makoto desires, but unfortunately she can only really take charge while standing in as a replacement for Kotonoha. I feel bad for her, because Sekai can’t be honest with herself when she’s just as scared as Kotonoha inside. Finally Makoto does not at all care about romance, and just wants to get some. While he wouldn’t be the first horny guy, his complete apathy towards romance is a bit jarring.
Makoto reminds me of an animal. The only time he cares about the girl’s feelings is if he is afraid of retribution. Not once does he think about Kotonoha, and he’s just using Sekai (of course she is using him as well). The most cringe-worthy part was definitely when he tried to force himself on Sekai. And this was after he disparaged her breasts in comparison to Kotonoha’s! Sometimes I marvel that he is ever able to leave his pr0n and tissues behind, and venture out into the real world. Still, I don’t hate him yet; Makoto is a total ass, and a horrible boyfriend, but he never tries to hide it. It is absolutely not his fault that the girls all love him, because really he does everything possible to drive them all off.

Have Kotonoha and Sekai already scissored?
Scissored?
They probably haven’t, unless Kotonoha has a secret girlfriend that Sekai can pretend to be. Sekai is like a Kanoko wannabe.
Also, perhaps a trip to Urban Dictionary is warranted O__o …
I went to the Urban Dictionary and the def. was not what I think Chris means. Oh well…
It’s like jan ken pon, just without the paper and the rock.
The really sad thing is that I think that the definition is what Chris means. So much for assuming the best about people. I mean, no matter what, either he or I was thinking it.
Chris has no meaning. That’s just my nick.
Chris made it sound like “scissoring” was something that Sekai and Kotonoha would do together in private – w/o Makoto. Well, who knows, they may have let him watch.
lol @ the comments! You know, Flopstall is right, WE SHOULD NEVER SCISSOR ALONE! CMON EVERYONE LETS SCISSOR TOGETHER!!!
Jesus: OUCH!
Kabitzin: Whats wrong? Am I scissoring too hard?
Jesus: No, I just got a paper cut! *BA DUM CHING*
Everyone: *silence*
…*ahem* anyways, Makoto sure is a pimp! He has friends with benefits… wish my friends were beneficial. It was pretty funny (and obvious) how his hand conveniently landed on her BAZOINKERS when the train stopped! Those are some fast reflexes. Am I the only one who thought naughty things when Kotonoha said “horses”…YOU CAN’T BLAME ME!!! Seeing those pop ups when I was a child was really dramatizing!
Oh yea, maybe I need to go to the Urban Dictionary also, but I don’t understand what porn and tissues mean. If I am correct and the tissues are used to “clean up after yourself”, wouldn’t you just use Bounty Paper! I use it all the time to clean up my mess! Tissues can’t handle the job! (I don’t mean to brag, but I usually leave a big STICKY mess when I’m done taking care of business! OH YEAH!!!)
(now that I think about it, guys scissoring would REALLY hurt! lmao!… we’re all guys here right? I mean, what kind of girl would watch this series?) (no offence to girls who watch this show)
Tissues, bounty paper? I thought that’s what condoms are for??
Well, It wouldn’t be convenient to use a condom every time you wanked by yourself. It’s not like you can make yourself pregnant! lol! I think you meant to use a condom with your significant other, but I’m talking about having fun with the inanimate object called
