Ano Natsu de Matteru

I have no idea what you are talking about. Kanna spent an unknown number of days hiding away, pretending to be sick because she was unable to do more than cry - and you talk about everybody simply smiling? Tetsuro is Tetsuro, and didn't end up doing anything else but kicking the fence and hurting his foot, but I hardly saw him smile away the emotional pain after his doomed-to-fail confession. It's true the bigger picture was pretty clear to all of them from the beginning, and that could have, to a degree, forced them to look like they had a mature stance, but that's it. Kanna's last useless confession came after Tetsuro's useless confession - and it was purely for her own peace of mind, signifying the same thing she told Tetsuro: That she can't forget Kaito. That's the opposite of casually accepting they can't have their loved one. Also, neglecting Tetsuro's feelings for her and Kaito and Ichika's for each other have got nothing to do with that. She can't magically start to love Tetsuro, and Ichika herself thinks it was due to Kanna that she got together with Kaito.

I hope you weren't looking for some bitchy polygon drama you find in stock shoujo or tv live action, with all the backstabbing and whatnot, that should result in everybody hating everybody enough to kill them instead of pairings based on love. I preferred this show's approach much more.

No, absolutely not, that´s not what the series went for from the beginning. However, I have a hard time accepting how this episode was about people caring more about their own personal peace than caring about their friends. I found it to be a totally nonsensical reaction when Kaito smiled towards Kanna, who was confessing to him. And while, of course, one cannot change the fact who he/she loves, going from listening to Tetsuro´s confession to happily confessing to Kaito, made Kanna appear like a, well, like a not so nice friend to have.

Basically, all their friendship is really fucked up at this point, and different to what I expected before, NOW would be the perfect time for generic drama and bitchfest to begin. Because there´s reasons for that all over the place.
