10 Second Anime - Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru Zoku - Episode 12


The Service Club holds a chocolate cooking class. Yukino's family shows concern for her future plans.


Meh.

Yui appears to be standing in front of a different version of herself.


Her image wasn't lined up correctly with the previous version.


Heh.

Hachiman is becoming another Hayato for Haruno. Sure, I'll just drop everything to meet an older woman at a cafe...
 
Lots of dark hints about Yukino using Hachiman as an excuse for something. The Yukinoshitas obviously know what all the history is between themselves and Yukino, but it's so mysterious from the outside.
 
Iroha was featured in the opening credits again. I guess it's a warning that the episode is going to make her important.
 
The Service Club is starting to fire on all cylinders by coming up in one solution to three problems. Yumiko wants to learn how to make homemade chocolate, even though Hayato won't accept them, Saki wants to teach her little sister how to make chocolate too, but she herself doesn't know how, and Iroha wants to give Hachiman chocolate for some reason. Well, I don't know if I'd call Iroha trying to figure out how sweet to make Hachiman's obligation chocolate a problem per se, but the cooking class event will definitely solve that too.


Why was Yumiko trying to out-tough former delinquent Saki?


Iroha is getting pretty clever as president. She snookered that other school into helping them by having them pay for the community center's facilities.


Kids say the darnedest things. Eel is usually cooked with a sweet sauce, right? Close enough, but she still learned how to cook with chocolate.


Never mind the jokes about Hachiman's younger sister complex. It's all about the doting Saki.


Respect the melting chocolate! Yui has experience with chocolate gone bad.


Lots of people were either surprised or concerned that Kaori might have given Hachiman chocolate in the past. I'm tickled that President Buzzword Bingo appeared to want more of Kaori's attention.


And the whole point of the chocolate cooking exercise was to give Hayato chocolate without actually giving him any. That didn't mean certain girls couldn't be competitive about it.


It's a chocolate trap!


Yui has mad bowl spinning skillz yo. I don't think it translates to cooking experience, but at least, she's not going to be knocking bowls all over the place.


Hmm.

Haruno was still playing games with Hachiman, implying greatly that Yukino is going to use him as some kind of pretense to derail the family's plans for her life. What that means, Hachiman doesn't know yet, but Yui suspects something, and it's something serious enough for Yukino's mother to pay her a visit. Haruno still had to put the little dig into Hachiman that Yukino might not be offering him something genuine. She also reminded everyone that Yukino and Hayato have a long history together.


Shizuka-sensei made a well-timed appearance. She was mainly there to make sure Hachiman appreciated the progress he and his would-be friends have made, and not to be disappointed by his own high expectations. I didn't see her eat any chocolate, though, so it was another one of those opportunistic plot developments to give Hachiman perspective.
 
We've got only one more episode to go, but it has a hopeful episode name with a pun on Yukinoshita's name. 雪の下 (yuki no shita), means "under the snow," which is where Spring's shoots always appear.
