「 ヒトコト×ハ×ソノヒト」 (Hito Koto x wa x Sono Hito)
"The Word × is × That Person"
An episode like this one has to be pretty depressing for aspiring shounen mangaka...

「タウルスの心臓、光の槍」 (Taurusu no Shinzou, Hikari no Yari)

After last week's bombshell, this week's episode smacked us with another one -- albeit with slightly less emotion.

If there's one thing this show can do week-in and week-out, it's the way it manages to surprise me in the strangest of ways.

「九校戦編IV」 (Kyuukou Sen Hen IV)
"Nine Schools Competition Part IV"
There were multiple instances of characters working in what looked like Microsoft Excel. I believe that tells you everything you need to know about this show.

「潮わく谷」 (Shio Wakutani)
"Valley of Welling Tides"
I don't know what I can add to an episode like that, really. That's what anime perfection looks like.

「指向法《ブルー・ローズ》」 (Shikou-hou “Buruu Rouzu”)
"Blue Rose"
Mostly funny, mostly silly, this episode was roundly hilarious while still elaborating on character back stories and delivering us to the stage of Kuuhaku's biggest victory yet. Hopefully.
