| This anime definitely seems to have a theme of fate tying characters together, as with the case with Sakura and Yanagi this time. Episode is great with lighthearted energy and simple storytelling. They really captured Sawada's personality well imo, with her human emotions and feelings. Definitely an underrated character of this franchise. |

| Sakuraβs getting the proper attention and screen time this season which was mercilessly skimmed over last time around. Sheβs a caring girl as we know, but what everyone doesnβt know is that sheβs an enthusiastic manga reader as well.. of not your typical shoujo mangas, but a full-fledged shounen ninja manga lol. Liked when she coincidentally met Yanagi in the manga store, who had his first proper appearance this time around as well. They do share the same interests, and theyβre quite alike too so it does pain me recalling they never became an official couple back in the manga and were just left as it was:( Yuki imagining the swapped personalities was quite fun but hey she should realize soon she and Ishikawa go quite beyond their normal friends status at this point. Not a fan of Sawada honestly, because I mean her clingy personality is a bit too much, and it is that personality of hers which has basically pushed her to live quite lonely in her own class year, though there are people like Miyamura around her and then those of his friends, which if nothing atleast making her school life a bit more lively:).. to the point of misunderstandings lol. New ED tho... they took ninja stuff quite seriously lol. |

| Ah, so Sakura and Yanagi have finally crossed paths, huh? This time around, an unexpected shared passion for their favorite manga brought Sakura and Yanagi together as close friends. However, rumors began to circulate among their peers, suggesting a mismatched compatibility between them. Surprisingly, even Honoka, who had few same-grade friends, found herself caught in the web of gossip. Student life can be challenging, leading to days of uncertainty and bewilderment. Nice ED too. The classic "both interested in animanga" scenario never seems to lose its charm, and the way they've portrayed it here holds promising potential for their future as a couple. Sakura and Yanagi's chemistry is evident, and I'm eager to witness their further development together. I also resonated deeply with Sakura's initial situation. The weekly wait can indeed become a source of agonizing anticipation. Considering all the hardships Sakura has endured, she truly deserves a meaningful relationship, and I hope she finds that with Yanagi. |

| Special ED Ninja Version Great. Finally Underated Character Got Proper Screening Time.   |
| Well it seems like Sawada has trouble making contact with others tho that some of her classmates where bullying was sad to see. It seems like she made some contact now and it's clear her classmates have a better opinion of her hopefully good things will come from it. Sakura going around everywhere to find the manga was also nice to see even her embarrassment was nice to watch and she got what she was looking for. |
| 2:49 Eyy I see The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses up there! The other stuff should be real series too. I always wonder where do they store all the magazines if they buy them weekly? Recycle or something like that hopefully. Is this a new ship in the making? They didn't interact in the first season so this is a surprise. Nice. Yuki imagining all that stuff is precious. I love her faces lol. And a Yuki x Tooru moment! I've been waiting for this! Oh, Sawada! She hasn't appeared this season before right? She's so cute. LMAOOO THE ENDING I LOVE IT SO MUCH And the next episode will be about Nayagi! Excited! This season has been so good so far. tsubasalover said: lol~ There's also special site for the ninja anime https://horimiya-anime.com/konoha/ Lol it says "The trilogy will be released in summer 3300" |

| This was an nice an funny episode the scene with yanagi how she gets no friends because she chills with the twelve classe and yeah after she hang that poster on the black board, i hope she will find friends. |

| Really liked this episode Sakura and Yanagi are so cute together |
| More than anything prepping for exams is one of the core focuses for seniors. Having something to look forward to that would motivate you in your efforts is a godsend. Its always nice to have a fellow fan of the series as well and it was cute seeing Sakura and Yanagi bond over their shared passion. Miyamura's way of dealing with bullies sure was creative. But doubt they have the balls to oppose a senior. Really liked the expansion on Sawada though. Hopefully she's able to use this opportunity to make some friends her age in class. The unique ending theme that was sung by Sakura and Yanagi's seiyuu's was awesome. |

| Finally more Sawada! |

| I really want to see Sakura more often since she doesn't get much screentime, she deserves the entire world. Her being an avid manga reader makes her even better, she's one of my favorite characters in Horimiya. HOW THICK IS THAT MANGA THOUGH Sakura saying "Konoha, suzuki!" (I'm probably wrong on the translation) while she's walking to the bookstore and her interactions with Yanagi are adorable. Glad we got some time with these two due to their mutual interest in manga and that their names are also known trees haha. Yuki thinking about everyone switching bodies is fun to see, what silly little mischief is she committing. I'm happy to see Sawada appear again, they did a good job representing issues that are present in schools like bullying as well as her personality. I like her dynamic with Hori's group, I thought it makes things a little more vibrant. Really good episode, and that Konoha ED is honestly a banger. Got me dancing like a little man. Can't wait for the next episode, I wish I picked up more of the manga though on my runs. For the 3rd and last time today, have a calm Saturday everyone :D |

| My fave episode of the pieces spin off for sure. Sakura themed first segment was awesome, been waiting on best girl to get a segment for a while now and I loved she and Yanagi bonding over their love of manga. Itβs funny how the stuff that you think might make you lame or weird is actually endearing to those who care about you. We really need more Sakura moments in this. I feel like everyone else gets a lot of screen time besides her. Also really liked the Sawada segment of the episode. Miyamura scaring the girls off who were bullying her without even saying a word was awesome lol. Theyβre just jealous because she has older cooler friends π Solid episode |
 |
| Yet another very good episode, glad to see Sawada back again, she was one of my favourites from the main series. I really don't remember the main series being so well animated and funny, more and more I think I might like Missing Pieces more than the original. New ED was awesome, they took Konoha to the next level. |
| what a episodeππ |

| You know this is a good series when every other episode is one of my favorite episodes lol, this was such a good one. Starting off with a Sakura bit immediately made it a banger, it was nice to find out sheβs really into manga, it was cute how excited she was to read the weekly chapter lol. And she found a manga buddy in Yanagi, those two weirdly clicked really well and itβs a shame itβs in this spin-off that we find that out, hope it isnβt the last we see of this pairing! And Iβm ngl Iβve been Yoshikawa starved, I really loved her bit in this one, her body swap imaginations were hilarious lol, and her interaction with Yanagi led to a funny bit with Ishikawa, my jaw dropped when she said that Yanagi doesnβt touch her that way lmao. And the Sawada bits to end off the episode were spectacular, another character I was really wanting more of, Miyamura knew just what to say to those girls without actually saying it lol, and Sawada learning the greatness of weirdness was very heartwarming. And that final part where she helped out the art club was also very nice, I need more of Sawada and her steed Sengoku lol. And wow a unique ED, it was definitely a nice jam with some cool visuals, looks like Sakura and Yanagi have good taste. |
| I SHIP YANAGI X SAKURA <333 |

| Its really nice to have more Sawada - aka Miyamura's lil sister - , even at the end some mentioned them being related. Also good to see more Sakura |
| I loved the special ending, such a nice touch. |
| That special ED was brilliant, on top of an already great episode. |
| didn't really care about the sakura bit much ngl but her special ed was cool. yuki had some cute and hilarious moments, some sawada problems. honestly, forgot she existed but she had some nice momnts too. |
 |
| This episode was such a blast. I get to see Sakura & Akane, and their actual selves behind the scenes. Yuki is so cute. She felt guilty touching someone's hands other than her loved one. Sawada is so adorable, I hope she can have more friends she can talk to. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Sakuraaaa why do you have to be so relatableee ~ This episode nailed it, she's definitely one of my faves. Glad to see Sawada again, I didn't realize how excited I would be to see her! She's a great character and I love her banter with Miyamura. Great duo. |
| Skull Ninja Konoha sure looks interesting enough to have its own manga. I loved that ED! |

| Yanagi and Sakura look good together. That Ninja Konoha manga brought them closer. Yoshikawa's imagination is running wild with that body swap thought lol. It seems Sawada is making friends in her year, that's a nice development for her. |
 |
| That was one cool ED |
 |
| Lmao the Konoha manga even got its special ED |
 |
| Finally Miyamura's sister gets her own arc. Sawada is too precious for the world so Sengoku raids notice boards for her. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
