Sometimes, smiles can be eerie. I should take note of that.

Summary: Seat Change
While walking on a rainy day, Sawako finds an abandon dog or puppy. She decided to leave her umbrella there even though the dog didn't really like her. As a result, she arrives at school wet. As usual, Sawako tries to befriend people but is still being feared. Going to her classroom, coincidentally, Kazehaya was also drench as she was. He notices her being drench like her without bringing extra clothes so he asks Chizuru to lend her some of her extra clothes, and gives her a towel for her to dry. While Sawako was taking time to dry and change clothes, Kazehaya had a talk with one of his friends. While they were talking, Kazehaya realizes that she really respected him. Later in the day, Kazehaya, Chizuru, and Ayane find drinks on their desk from Sawako as thanks for their help.
As Kazehaya is talking with Sawako, they find that both of them had seen the abandoned dog so as they went home, they visit it together. Kazehaya told her honestly that she was drenched while playing with the dog. The dog seems to like Kazehaya so he decides to keep the dog. For her, it's the opposite; the dog dislikes her. Despite that, Kazehaya suggests that the dog would come to like her if the dog sees that her owner is going along with his friend.
This motivates her because she is really hoping to get along with everyone as well as he does, feeling that there's no wall between them. The next day, Sawako still tries to clear up some of her classmates's misconceptions about her but they don't stick around to listen to her; believing the rumors. That day so happens to be when the entire class switches seats. Knowing the results, no one would try to sit near Sawako. However, Kazehaya makes it a point to take the sit next to her. Although surprisingly, Ayane and Chizuru take the ones in front of her; even the seat behind her is sat by a guy by the name Sanada Ryuu. Sawako ends up feeling quite happy, sharing the cookies she baked with all of them. After school, Kazehaya saw Sawako walking lonely so he catches her on the way home. His smile makes her realize that she's developing feelings towards him greater than admiration and respect: love.

Preview: After School
Impression:
It's been bothering me a lot on why I am seemingly familiar with this anime. After watching this episode, I found out that the two people: Kazehaya Shouta and Kuronuma Sawako, are somehow related to an experience of mine. The girl that was said was kind of related to the girl that I met but she was worse than the girl in the anime. Hopefully, she still has the same hopes with Sawako: to be friends with everyone.
I noticed that the first episode started out with lots of series of events most likely because it's the Prologue. The second episode focuses out on the seating changes so then, it explains the turning out of events after the changes of seats.
In this episode, I can't complain no more. It only filled me with happiness as much as people are given when they smile to each other. It's pretty good that it points out moral lessons about friendship and love.
Like I said, I can't complain including the characters. The changes of the character was impressive although Sawako was right that it wouldn't change fast. I kind of found it "cool" and somewhat sad at the same time about Kazehaya being carried out the burden to make Sawako happy although there's nothing wrong with it, though; instead, a great person that can change a person's life.
Overall, this is better than any other anime which teaches other people moral lessons through actions in animes or so. Most likely, this is because you can easier interact or compare this with your life.
