氷の城壁

Was gonna say something along the lines of "oh my sweet summer child" about miki but it seems like she's not that oblivious huh. You can see why Yota tried to hide his feelings as much as possible given the way she reacted to the idea of him being into her, but it was frankly inevitable it would blow up like this. Not to forget that we were blessed with multiple koyun facial expressions falling harder and harder for minato. She's at her absolute cutest when she's smiling, blushing, and shifting like a gremlin to secretly tell her dad about her crush.

another amazing episode, poor minato he was going through it quite a bit this episode, koyun telling her feelings to yota was nice to see, "we'll be twins," "no thanks" made me laugh miki finally realized that yota has feelings for her, and of course when you hear the outro music you know whats coming next.... all of this buildup for next episode, next episode will be generational, i live for koyun x minato

Kohyun and Yota now understand they feel the same about Minato and Miki but we have seen that only Minato feels that way back towards Kohyun. The dialogue made me feel like Miki saw the way Yota has acted all along as fake now and that he was only being so nice all this time because he had feelings for her. I really hope that I am misreading her reaction and that she isn’t feeling betrayed by Yota because that would be sad for her to see it that way and we know Yota wouldn’t be fake towards Miki. The boy was ready to supress his feelings forever to not make things akward between them so it would be terrible for her to realize and see it in the worst way possible.

I Hope miki talks to Koyun and that Koyun says the right thing to miki. but i do ultimately think that Yota's words to Miki at the end here will make a huge impact if she thinks long enough. "It's not because you're a woman, it's because you're miki" I think miki always wwants to be loved for her true self. that's why she stopped faking. I think she needs to figure out that yota loves miki genuinely and truly, and not in the way that other boys have loved miki. she really just needs time to sit with this realisation, chill with her friends, and actually think it out.

Best episode of the series and up there with the best the entire season for me! Miki's realization about Yota's feelings and how that completely changes their entire friend group was both exhilarating and saddening at the same time. Feels like she started to shut down, but it only made me more hyped to see how the season concludes and what happens after when I read the manga in a week. I have to give Koucha Agasawa props for how well written the characters are in both this and You and I are Polar Opposites. Both fall into the small category of high school romances where every character feels relatable in different ways. You feel the emotions the characters are going through and the personal nature of them make the shows much more enjoyable for me. I love realistic drama in romance, so I think this episode puts Ramparts of Ice ahead of Polar Opposites for me now (both are a 9 out of 10 for me). Praying that season 2 is this fall, so we can have a full year of peak high school romance every week.

I had a feeling that something was going to shake things up the moment Yota and Koyun both acknowledged they had no intention of acting on their feelings and protect the friend group. Something had to give. At the very least this might be the slow end to Miki thinking YotaxKoyun is the absolute ship because even if she doesn't have feelings for Yota or wants to get in the way of the feelings she thinks Koyun has for Yota, she now knows Yota doesn't feel that way about Koyun.

Poor Tsukiko. I mean, I am already frustratingly punching the air just watching from a different dimension, but this poor girl has to live it. But at least, when it comes to Yota we finally have some progress. At least Miki realized it. Not sure how good this will be for the relationship but it can only get better from here. Hopefully. As for Minato and Koyun, I mean, at this point, I am just waiting for another Momoka bomb to drop, because otherwise, I feel they will just dodge around the issue forever. For as much as I don't like her, at least, she can move these two immovable objects. On the more positive side, I thought the hair cuts looked nice. They should change them around more often. And everyone had their fun little moment during the sports festival as well. Miki winning the rope pulling (or something similar) by herself was definitely something I was hoping to see.

I don't think it's a positive how much she seems to viscerally react negatively to his feelings, but it's still probably better to have that out there than have Yota keep suffering in the friendzone while Miki is oblivious.

For as much as I don't like her, at least, she can move these two immovable objects. I think the fact that Koyun is clearly uncomfortable every time she sees Momoka and Minato together is telling that she at least on some level doesn't want to see him with someone else, even if she'd never admit it to herself. Whether she might do something about that is probably a different issue. On the more positive side, I thought the hair cuts looked nice. They should change them around more often.

I don't think it's a positive how much she seems to viscerally react negatively to his feelings, but it's still probably better to have that out there than have Yota keep suffering in the friendzone while Miki is oblivious. I really hope this is just the first reaction and she realizes later on that Yota is doing what she always wanted. Which is to have someone that loves her for herself and not who they think she is.

Whether she might do something about that is probably a different issue. Which is why I kind of hope that Momoka really goes into wanting to be with Minato. Like obviously, I don't want her to actually succeed but I feel, at this point, it's the best shot we have for Koyun to make up her mind.

This episode brought up that feelings from years ago. Watching Miki unravel Yota’s feeling for her made me remember a friend of mine who confessed to me. We were friends for many years and I didn’t realize that he developed a feeling for me. It made me feel sad because I thought he was my friend and that we are friends but idk I felt like I lost a friend. He was a good friend and then was he being a friend or was he good because he has feelings. I can’t put my feelings into words properly I don’t think it’s right to say I felt deceived or whatnot but up until now still can’t find the right words. Miki’s reaction as she discovers Yota’s feelings for her made me think that must be how I looked like (not too animated though).
