same here, I initially planned to write summary for all the episodes before the subs released, but I am not sure if I can do that for episode 6. Episode 5 was still plain pain as we knew the situation, but this one was slow burning pain for 1 hour, something that hits you right where it hurts the most.
I expect that they're finally meet but than we have to wait another week. This is too much to handle :(
Exactly my thoughts, I was so pumped up about ep 6 and the whole separation and misery just made me extremely sad. This drama is too good,which is why it's too much to handle and I really hope he finds her soon and not like at the end of episode 7 or something.
It's not her fault though. She is very kind and good as a person but often somewhere someone else will always cause trouble to such people who seem to be too good ,out of their own insecurities.
She is just apprehensive about Kuroiwa again finding out about Hijiri. From a mother's perspective she is very…
I know.... it's getting a bit too much, especially in the next episode preview where apparently it seems his mother meets Hijiri again. I wonder if its just accidental or deliberate i understand her hatred, you can't really expect her to give a green light to her son to go and pursue a 25 year old woman when he is just 15. But at 18 at least she shouldn't oppose to it vehemently realising that now he is an adult and that is what he really wants. And why bother Hijiri again(if she deliberately meets her in next episode) ,to be fair Hijiri was honest and removed herself from the town altogether, so she shouldn't be blamed anymore for anything now.
you guys i feel so bad for shotaro. he really does the most. i can't imagine how gutted he was that it's a "mere"…
To add, they didn't plan to do anything after the kiss. Kuroiwa is happy that he was able to treat her gently and that is enough for him. Hijiri also wouldn't have allowed anything more than that. She just accepts his feelings and her own. Love is often a process where you get to know each other, come to trust,enjoy the little things. They are like two people in love who want to spend as much time together as possible because they want to know each other.
To be honest, even though this is my first teacher student drama, I don't find it problematic. While the drama shows and everyone knows it's a wrong relationship, their personal struggle that is shown is realistic and heart wrenching which is why it became so relatable to the audience. I think this drama mainly aims to show a scenario rather than imposing on the society what is right and what is wrong. Isn't that how it should be? Everything that appears out of norm is not necessarily completely wrong. If that was the case , nothing other than heterosexuality would have been acceptable in the society. Again, i am not saying this should be acceptable, but it just shows how genuine innocent love is clouded by norms of the society and how badly it can affect the ones involved. Hence, her leaving everything behind in ep5 , although the most painful of all experiences,it is still the right thing to do given how the whole situation became a mess.
what did he say when that doll-liked girl walked to him and asked him something that I catch some ‘seina’…
I believe you are talking about the scene where all the middle school classmates meet up and that girl asks Kuroiwa about Suenaga sensei and hecompletely shruggs off 'who is Suenaga'. But as expected, as you go through the episode , you will find that he is not over her,just trying his best to get over the past and move on with life dispassionately.
Just watched it raw. I hope someone can recap it soon. My Japanese is not so good, soooooo what's up with Akira's…
She is just apprehensive about Kuroiwa again finding out about Hijiri. From a mother's perspective she is very angry with Hijiri as a teacher. Come to think about it, being a parent her hatred is obvious. Her perspective is how can she be allowed to become a teacher again. Things between her and Kuroiwa are still very sore even after 3 years as it is apparent in this episode.
Whoa...the episode was painful... I can't bear to see them apart anymore....removed from each other's lives and picking up broken pieces of their shattered hearts to just pass through the rest of their lives. They both have become miserable.
Episode 7 offers hope against all odds. You can always trust Kuroiwa to chase and find her even deep in the mines!
Wahhhh...finally,its airing....this drama is just doing crazy things to me. And going by the snippets on twitter it just seems that this drama can't do one thing wrong. The chemistry between Arimura Kasumi and Okada Kenshi is just fire. Just the way he got all vulnerable with the feeling that she is around and looked for her is absolutely electric.
you guys i feel so bad for shotaro. he really does the most. i can't imagine how gutted he was that it's a "mere"…
I actually have a different opinion about all the factors that you mentioned.
First, I think all the characters are flawed in some or the other way. Shotaro and Hijiri''s relationship lacked communication which is important in any relationship. They are like two good people but not really meant for each other. Hijiri is just not ready for a marriage, she is just doing it because that feels like the right thing to do and not necessarily what she wants it. Being passive by nature,the whole confusion begins in her mind, she is slowly figuring out what she really wants to do in life. They both try their best in this situation although sometimes its forced on both ends. which is precisely why it doesn't work out. I think at the end Hijiri just strongly believes that she has wronged Shotaro and it is unfair to him if she stays with him. In that she realizes that there is no going back, she won't be able to love Shotaro , the way she started loving Kuroiwa (like really falling in love despite all all odds and circumstances).
Personally, she did the right thing about breaking up. Trust me Shotaro wouldn't have been happy although he is ready to accept her. He is just too broken-hearted to see these things clearly at that point but when he comes around accepting this fact later, they both will be miserable with the thing that they stuck together. On Hijiri's part, there's no point in staying and hurting a person when you can't honestly love them and can't be honest with yourself or with them.
Kuroiwa is a 15 year old and experiencing all these things that he can't even make out. He does try unsuccessfully to get over her, but his feelings are too strong for him to handle. And I believe that is how you tend to feel things when you are in your teens. So that is portrayed flawlessly. He just doesn't know or understand at that point that everything would go to that extent as he himself writes in his letters.
just had a chance to read it and wow hijiri got quite a mom
Her mom actually asks her if that is the way she wants to proceed with the situation since it's not like it can't be done. Hijiri says no to it. So then her mom tells her that she should be thankful to Shotaro for accepting her and if she gives her best she will be able to get over her student.
Sorry, I think the way i put it in the recap kind of changes the meaning a bit. Let me modify that in the recap.
For people who want to watch something similar to Chugaksei Nikki, I recommend The garden of words. It's a 45…
Yup, that's a student teacher romance done well. I am huge fan of Makoto Shinkai,all his works are beyond stunning. My personal favourite is '5 cms per second' out of all his works. The realistic depiction of changing life will pick at your heartstrings.
Episode 7 offers hope against all odds. You can always trust Kuroiwa to chase and find her even deep in the mines!
