Impressions:

Whoops, I kinda forgot about this show…it hasn’t really been able to keep my interest, not compared to some of the others anyway (Darker than BLACK, Claymore, Gurren Lagann etc). Anyway, this episode takes things along nicely when it comes to the relationship between Makoto and Sekai. I’m a Sekai fan, though I don’t really care what happens in the end since I can’t seem to find any aspect of either her or Kotonoha to really like. It isn’t even clear how far Sekai and Makoto progress to this episode, but I assume they go all the way (or hope, to further increase tension between the two the next time they come to be in such a situation).

I wouldn’t really call this show a romance-drama, as the relationships are just too shallow. Makoto seems to be indecisive about which girl he prefers (or he’s more likely just trying to answer his manly desires), while from Kotonoha’s point of view, the relationship can’t be too serious. As for Sekai, she probably just wants some of Makoto (I would say she definitely does if not for her momentary hesitation when Makoto starts groping her). You’d think that Makoto gets the hint from Sekai, since he doesn’t seem to be smart enough to keep it a secret for ‘more’ later if he really does know about Sekai’s desires…sigh, I guess you can’t help it if it’s a school-based romance.
