Could this be the conclusion of Kurumi’s antagonistic ways?! The one episode to end this long-winded rumors arc (it ended a few episodes ago, but they just kept on coming back to it…).

The episode starts off with Kurumi and Sawako crying about Kazehaya. Though it wasn’t as deep as I put it out to be, a bit of humour in there to make it light. I really have stopped anticipating “heavy” drama out of this anime at this point. It seems like it just won’t happen.

“Everybody’s Sawako” wipes Kurumi’s tears away…

“That’s what she said…”

And Kurumi reciprocates…awww…

Kurumi goes “zetsuboushita!” at the thought of Sawako and Kazehaya being together and the two of them spend time talking about Kazehaya…

…and it escalates even further and further…

“…”

…until the unexpected climax of the scene… Kurumi stands up and looks in the distance, the shade of the tree above them encompasses the two… and Kurumi exclaims,

“KAZEHAYA THINKS I LIKE ARAI PIN!”

I actually really liked the thought narration that Sawako says throughout the episode. Thinking about what the two of them could possibly be if not friends. Finally, we get a flashback outlining why Kurumi likes Kazehaya, and why she relied on “making” him into “Everybody’s Kazehaya” until he would fall in love with her. Though, the flashback is still a bit fake. Really now, do Middle Schoolers in Japan really obsess that much over a guy?…And to the point that they would say, “Hey, we should get in her way if she starts liking somebody. She got in our way too, so it’s only fair.” Kurumi and Kazehaya have an encounter alone in the classroom that results in her crying as well as falling in love with him. I see where it’s coming from, she fell in love with him because he had been there for her at that moment. I wonder if it had been another guy like Ryuu that it would have been a different situation. Maybe Yoshida as the main character against Kurumi. o.o. I liked how generic Kazehaya looked back then, reminds me of Karasuma Oji from School Rumble.

Finally, back in present time, Kurumi encounters Kazehaya after school. Like every other male protagonist in an anime since 1963, he’s thickheaded and only realizes that Kurumi doesn’t like Pin-sensei after she yells it at him. I actually really admired and begun to like Kurumi at this point when, despite knowing that Kazehaya likes someone else, she confesses to him. Kazehaya actually looked cool for once in the whole series, apologizing. Then, Kurumi lightens the mood.

A slight transition of scene takes us to Sawako and Y&Y where she tells them her feelings for Kazehaya. They talk about how aggressive Kurumi was over Kazehaya and Yoshida shows us just how aggressive she could get too.

The next day, Kurumi comes to school in style, wearing sunglasses. Turns out she spent a lot of time crying. Really, I’d say it makes her look cooler, now the guys will notice her even more! Pin-sensei says something smart for once, making Kurumi feel better knowing that Kazehaya may be thinking about her. Kurumi goes on to confront Sawako and declares that the two of them are rivals. I really liked how the episode went back on Sawako’s thought narration and answered it in the end. \o/ +1 internets for Kurumi! This episode marked not only the (assumed) end of Kurumi’s antagonism, but also the end of the sports festival. : ( Sawako’s class lost though. They hold a party to celebrate the end of it all at a Karaoke hall and there’s a lovey-dovey moment between Kazehaya and a sleeping Sawako. Way to take advantage. Screenblock nao?

Alright! Chiesu-desu. Looks like notcliche is back up, but with that, we’ll need to do a rewrite of episode 14 of Kimi ni Todoke. So how about it now? I’ve made it a treat and have a full screen block for you as opposed to my awesome (?) MS Paint pictures.  You may be asking, “Chasu-sensei! Will you be re-writing the review exactly the same way as last time?”, well unfortunately the document that I had stashed the review in was taken by a sneaky little snark (might have been a boojum) and my memory has also been taken away so we’ll start it off fresh now.

The episode continues on from the cliffhanger(?) from the last episode. Notice the (?). You saw what I did there. It wasn’t really much of a cliffhanger to me, it’s more like something inevitable finally arriving. Sawako finally finds out that a bulk of the rumours had all been part of Kurumi’s ploy to get Kazehaya. Though it really didn’t do something in her favour now did it? After Kurumi confesses to the crime (just finished up reading my law textbook over) Yano and Yoshida abet Sawako to lay down the law (Alright enough of the law terms) on Kurumi. I actually found this part to be one of the most artificial parts to the series, it kept reminding me of turn-based battles… Nevertheless, Sawako cries and does little. Kind of shows how much she considered Kurumi a friend.

“Braiiins?”

“YOU CAN DO EEET!”

“Even Rob Schneider was there to encourage Sawako.”

One thing I’d like to make clear, I used to think of Yoshida as being someone there to provide some comedic relief, but this episode, she really shined when she had her own little spiel against Kurumi.

“Fleas are really problematic, huh?”

“So do I… except that would require a gender change.”

“-Insert Innuendo Here-”

Finally, Yano threatens to tell Kazehaya *GASP*. Kurumi appears unaffected by this, even going as far as saying, “See if I care.”

…Of course you don’t care… especially when we find out that she has been standing at that same spot after both a volleyball game and a soccer game (alternatively 8 minutes and 35 seconds through the episode since that scene).

Thought you wouldn’t see some MSpaint now did you? Muahaha.

“Everyone’s Sawako” manages to convince Yano not to tell Kazehaya and she later goes on to confess her feelings for Kazehaya to Kurumi. Makes sense. Couldn’t keep in a fanboy squeel at this point, but I still kind of thought it might be a painful thing for Kurumi to have it rubbed in her face. They have a cry together. Screenblock nao? Lol a bit insensitive but I’m not gonna dwell on it. All in all, I’ve felt that this episode was a bit too flawed for me. Though honorable mention to Pin who puts on a bishounen act for Yano, Yoshida and Kazehaya.

“Was rejected for the position of lead male character.”

“You have my sword. And my bow. And my axe!”

“*doki doki*”

We’ll make a bulk episode review release this weekend. A long weekend for me plus my birthday is on monday 8D. Really late on this one, but I’m a bit OCD you see, I’ve got to cover everything, no exceptions. (*-*)

We’ve dealt with a handful of episodes with Kurumi antagonizing poor Sawako, but this time around the misunderstandings are on her. I didn’t really quite like how obvious and unworthy her ploy of getting Kazehaya to give up on Sawako was in the beginning but let’s just pass that off as dramatic irony. “Let’s cheer them on from the shadows”? Really? Kurumi’s linguistic abilities only stretches so far. Reminds me of the whole idea of the shadow cabinet. Nonetheless, this was a story whose basis is simplicity and nothing more, simply love, so it’s excusable. Right from the get go, we get a *dramatic* scene (Not as dramatic as the dramatic prairie dog though) where Kazehaya runs to Sawako and Ryu, rick rolls them, and takes her away. Poor Kurumi is left yelling “Why?!”. Clearly, it’s because he doesn’t like you. I like how Ryu just walks away going, “Well, whatever…” At that point he probably acknowledged the idea that “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” and,

Yano reveals to “Everyone’s Yoshida” that Kurumi was the perpetrator of the rumours… Though Yoshida assumes that Kurumi liked Ryu though… so we can’t Yoshida hasn’t quite got  But it’s not just Yoshida who is plagued by obliviousness, Kazehaya thinks that Sawako likes Ryu. Sawako explains, and has an inner-soliloquy about how much she likes Kazehaya. I couldn’t suppress my fan-boy squeal when Sawako said “I’m madly in love with him.” I like how Kazehaya puts himself down and Sawako comforts him not knowing what he means… they seem to have a boyfriend-girlfriend moment…even before it happens.

We get back to Yano and Yoshida who’re continuing their discussion about Kurumi’s motives and Ryu happens to pass by. Back outside again, Kurumi is still outside the storage shed… she’s been there for like ten minutes… Pin wins the game when he rejects Kurumi…and in front of Kazehaya. There that ends the game… Actually, no, I’m not in any jurisdiction of power to end the game. So guess what… You just lost the game.

The episode concludes with Yano and Yoshida gathering evidence and confronting Kurumi… in a cheesy turn-based battle of sorts. Seriously? Is that how feisty girl fights get? I think not. This falls short completely of my expectations, and I think did the same for many of the viewers. All in all, it was a heavy plot-developing episode… it’s just that the plot isn’t coming off as strong as it should be. The basis of most conflicts in Kimi ni Todoke thus far has been misunderstandings, I’m starting to thirst for a bit more open conflict that can draw the viewers in more. Onwards, to episode 14!

Screen block nao? Nope. Here’s another MSPaint pic.

No, I’m not referring to the Full Metal Alchemist 4th OP in the title, so to all you Asian Kung-Fu Generation or FMA fans (Calm down and take your seats [Just kidding]) I give my apologies. In other news, Crystaru to Chasu to is back in action. At least just Chasu. Crystaru’s new micro ATX motherboard, processor, and RAM came in; but it appears that her RAM was dead on arrival : (. But I’m home again to this comfy little blog.I didn’t end up getting a new case just yet, but I’ve been eying the NZXT Tempest Evo enthusiast for quite some time [Because 6 fans definitely isn't overkill]. I’ll give that a look after my birthday later this month (I’m getting older, but that won’t stop me from rewatching Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. Rest assured my brethren [To whom that's directed no idea, just wanted to add a geeky remark]). Now with all that boring news aside, it’s time for our rewrite. I’ll get onto blogging about some of 2010’s anime. Unfortunately, screenblocks will be on a hold until I can switch to a new ISP because they had to go and add a limit to my download and upload ( (-.-;) I got the letter after I finished up downloading Aion and a few things off nipponsei…).

So, animes I will be covering:

• Kimi ni Todoke continuing on from where we left off [Episode 12], a bit to write but at least exams are done.
• Durarara!! because it’s just that good
• So-Ra-No-Wo-To

I originally wanted to do coverage on Ladies vs. Butlers ~ Except we’re family friendly here… well sort of. Harem’s popularity has been really going down hasn’t it? But studios are still pulling some harem titles out of the concept hat.

Once again, there will be no screenblocks or screenshots D: I did think about doing some of my own visual representations of episodes on MSpaint…

Never again.

Well, once again, Chasu is back and he’s coming right back at you (Just like Kirby did)!

So strangely unfortunately, both my and Chasu’s computer broke. Mine due to my motherboard (since Jan 2005) and his to a bad hard drive. I dunno when I’ll be back to reviewing anime, but hopefully by Wednesday-Friday this week if the motherboard I ordered fits my computer case. When I do get back…I’ll probably do a ketchup post and put multiple episodes in each post. [ So bad right now since I took a break from review last Christmas week ] [Hey Chasu, whenever you get back get me some donuts you otaku...just kidding. ]

But the good thing is, I get a new processor, RAM, and a new motherboard. Hooray, more gaming to do. Oh and that new external drive for hording anime episodes. . .

~Crystaru

Update: Took the computer to the store for repairs. Will be done more or less than a week. Around Mon-Thursday if there’s no problems updating the motherboard drivers to my hard drive. Chasu is probably coming back this weekend, depending if he’s getting a new case on his compy or not.

Update: Got mah compy back earlier. Ready to post more posts ahead.

First mystery anime, first episode. Quite anxious to see how bloody it turns out. I’m not a fan for bloody stuff but I’m going to give Ookamikakushi a try.

Not much of a background history about Hidden God before a watched it. It’s basically a boy that moves with his small family to a village that has a special god. As Hiroshi is about to go into his new house, a girl named Isuzu glomps in out of nowhere [ talk about fashion sense ] and befriends him. After the family is settled down [ Dad, a writer-a happy cheery person, his sister Mana-observant? ] Hiroshi’s dad talk about a new story to write dealing with the local god. Mana points out the story won’t be interesting if the beginning isn’t interesting.

Rolling along to school, Mana almost trips over some stairs and Hiroshi grabs her just in time. Mana, irritated at the fact she was just doing fine, Isuzu glomps Hiroshi again. At school, everyone in Hiroshi’s classroom treats him kindly…kindly enough to make it strange. They suggest a welcome party, glomp him, and offer to sit with him at lunch. All but one person who seems introverted and not caring what happened in the classroom.

Another character, Kaname, greets Hiroshi. When the day is done, another student Ogasawara kun, forcefully grabs Hiroshi and with a grin tries to drag him along when our mysterious girl orders him to stop that. He immediately lets go of Hiroshi. Everyone looks to her, seeing she doesn’t talk much.

Along the way home, Isuzu and Kaname tell Hiroshi of the Great God that protects the town. They also tell him about New Town and Old Town. [ Or ghetto town ] Basically, New Town=good, Old Town=scary and bad.

Another thing strange about the town is its early curfew and shops closing early. [ I guess that's their safety program. ] When everyone has gone home, somewhere in the town Ogasawara is chased by girl with scythe=obviously the god. [ Or shinigami. ] She swings the blade and presumely Ogasawara kun is dead. [I think the god looks better without the mask. ]

The next day at school, Hiroshi wonders where Ogasawara kun has gone seeing no one knows of this person anymore. Nemuru tells him he moved away.

Interesting! I’m already looking forward to the next episode. How does Nemuru knows about that boy? The character and animation isn’t bad. Just a simple design, not overly complicated.

Seeing Sayaka at the nursery again, Kobato eyed a book on “part time jobs”. Kobato figured if she could get a job, she could help pay the nursery’s debts off. Kobato lists of a number of jobs, all criticized by Ioryogi as “Kobato, you’re too clumsy.” Then karma happened, and Ioryogi needed a stiching in his belly. Kobato goes to the landlady to fix him up and mentions getting a part time job.

The landlady introduces Kobato to Tirol-the bakery/cake shop. Kobato recognizes the guy from before as the umbrella guy [Ueda san ] and is delighted to work. Pretty uniform! On her first customer, she struggles to get all the orders in, but gets help from Yumi.

And more orders come in, including the girl from the luck clover episode. Kobato realizes she gave her the wrong cake and runs out the door and falls on her face.

Yumi san gets worried for Ueda and wonders what is he thinking about. Kobato asks for advice from Ioryogi, which is delighted to eat the take home food from Tirol. Cake is totally good.

Kobato asks Ueda the next day for Yumi. Ueda san assures Kobato that everything is alright. Sayaka san stops by for a cake and Ueda san asks if it’s for her husband. Kobato asks the suspicion behind this with Ioryogi, and he just chows down the cupcake. Then on a pun, he tells Kobato to investigate about Ueda’s worries and Kobato takes it seriously.

Yes, reading comics gives you knowledge! Kobato with her spyglass, ask random people on the street about any suspicious actions around Tirol Bakery. Kobato eventually meets Yumi, and both stalk behind the bushes. Kobato gives herself away by making too much noise. Yumi runs off after being discovered.

They discover it’s not a date, but a part timer so that Yumi could heal up her wounds. Yumi reveals she didn’t injure herself on the job, but on trying to make a cake so that she coukd help the bakery more. Ueda tries a bit of her cake and thinks it’s delicious. And because of the cake, Ioryogi san gives Kobato a full 100 points. Always give gifts to your boss.

Never mess with bears and their dough.

Such a yummy episode. The bit with Sayaka san was an important piece, since in the manga it led to another important event, but that’s later on. Kobato was able to find a job she could work at, Ioryogi san was delighted with treats, and another konpeito granted! Tasty episode.

Chiesu desu! I’m quite fully aware the actual title is Sora no (W)Oto but as the name is represented in the title as ソ・ラ・ノ・ヲ・ト it makes more sense. When Crystaru-chan and I were talking about this series a while before the Winter Season animes premiered, we both thought of K-ON!’s Hirasawa Yui as an equivalent to Sora no wo to’s Sorami Kanata. Coincidentally, as I write this and refer back to the So Ra No Wo To’s wikipe-tan, someone has gone and replaced each character with characters from K-ON! =-= Who the heck does that… It wasn’t me…

Brief Synopsis:

Sorami Kanata is a private second class army volunteer whose goal is to become a trumpeter as a result of a childhood encounter during the peak of a war in the nation. She is tasked to a post at Seize, “The city of glass and lakes” with four other girls and works in pursuit of her goal to be an army trumpeter.

Moving on, the episode starts off with what appears to be a flashback of a desolate child in a war-torn country crying. She meets a trumpeter from the army who wears a bell necklace. This won’t be the last time we see this bell. Though it’s from these flashbacks that we find out that Kanata’s decision to learn the bugle was most likely influenced by this army trumpeter.

“Who would have thought? I didn’t think it was the same person at all.”

Sorami Kanata is now a Private Second Class who volunteers in the army to become the trumpeter, or rather in her case a bugler (or whatever the bugle equivalent to a trumpeter is). As to where the sense in that is, I can’t quite pinpoint it myself, usually to become a musician you usually try to keep your life and learn… not endanger it… or does the army give free music lessons that I haven’t heard about? Though we find out later that the war has been at an armistice for over half a year. I wonder if they’re going to get any action on in this, but for me, I’ve been kind of yearning for a ’soft’ and ‘casual’ slice of life anime. During the opening song, the animation proceeds with scenes of Kanata on the train and transitions to a group of girls dressed in army uniform who appear to be doing some sort of lottery to decide something.

“Ah. Sucks for you, you got the one with the red mark, so you’ll have to clean the toilets this time.”

With the help of a commanding officer and his awesome motocycle drifting skills, Kanata arrives just in time to her post at Seize to participate in a festival. The festival celebrates the fire maidens (depicted as each of the characters in the artwork…) of the town whom once protected the town from a beast who spread fire with the help of a golden horn (I guess the musical aspect to this anime will play a big role) and a giant spider (at this point it depicts a tank in a warehouse… foreshadowing much?) . After getting soaked in dye from the festival (which reminded me more of the La Tomatina in Spain) she gets taken in by fellow soldier, Kazumiya Rio (Mio much?) and takes a bath at what appears to be the town repair shop. A brief musical moment happens when Kanata displays her ability of absolute pitch in identifying the note of the bell of which Mio appears to now possess. Apparently, this bell had been given to Mio from her father which might suggest that Mio is linked to the blonde whom Kanata meets at the beginning. The bell gets taken away by an owl and Kanata spends the day looking for the bell.

“She’s drowning and she still has the decency to wave hello or is that help?”

A la fin, we find that Kanata is actually quite terrible at the bugle… though that’s exactly how I sound like on the trumpet D:

I really like how it all connects and flows. I actually found myself thinking through about this episode, which in my opinion is one of the best things, as opposed to idly watching something like, say for example… Chu bra -.-. Although it’s being referred to as a K-ON! rip, in my opinion, that may be the case to some extent as this is a big change in animation from A-1 Pictures’ Birdy and Fairy Tail. But, I also feel that A-1 Pictures did an amazing job with the animation in this one, making it almost movie worthy. The animation is crisp and the backgrounds are detailed much to the extent that I found myself thinking that I was watching an anime movie. Though I feel my expectations were a bit let down, mainly because I had been anticipating a parallel to K-ON, the anime redeems itself with its brilliant animation and story.

Besides the opening and ending songs, there was a beautiful French song reflecting that the story itself is set in a fictional French town (though it was probably obvious enough with the name of the town and the writing on the caramels).

Opening: This most likely won’t be the opening animation for the next episode, but the song itself, is a beautiful and quite vocal song as typical of Kalafina. It has a rustic country-side feel to it which is very much appropriate to the beautiful scenery throughout the episode.

Ending: An upbeat contrast to our rustic opening. This one’s performed by somewhat new seiyuu, Haruka Tomatsu. A really catchy tune with a seemingly perfect and cute ending animation to accompany it. I for one can’t keep myself from sneaking a peak at the screen I got which features the beginning of the ED song…

Conclusion/Verdict: Although quite slow; and I know a lot of others will say the same, the anime holds a lot of potential both story-wise and animation-wise. I can only hope that this one turns out well. I don’t want to watch another episode of Chu Bra…

Whoo, holidays are over, and I’m back to reviewing. More episodes of Bantorra were reviewed meaning I get to review during the winter season, yaaaaay. This winter season seems average. I plan to pick up Ookamikakushi if it’s not too bloody/scary. If it is, I’ll probably pick up Sora no woto and watch that as my 3rd anime reviewing for this season. Happy New Year, and let’s see a whole new year of animes come!

The majority of this episode is a flashback to how Matt and Director met before Director was the Director. A shock really.

Our flashback begins from when Matt was a rough and rowdy guy. [ What a player. ] The pub gets busted by Ireia san [ Granny ] and she confronts Matt, one of the librarians in training. Matt disagrees with her on the subject of being a librarian, being picked only for talent and this world is “irrational”. Ireia punches Matt to the ground and leaves the scene. Matt and another man try to quickly escape towards the door. Until he sees this big chested seamstress which will become the future Director of Bantorra. They exchange names and both escape before the cops can catch them.

No wonder he picked this chick up. On the way, Hamyuts proposes a little battle. Several rock shots and bullets later, both crash into a barn ending the duel. You can guess what else happened from the second screenshot. What a couple.

Matt takes her to enroll in librarian training. She one shots a training person and all are amazed by her talent. Later, Hamyuts remarks that she can defeat Matt and the previous director Photona within a few months time.

Photona gets concerned about Hamyuts and tells Matt before the next battle to eliminate her. He also recalls that she said she must be the world’s destruction as well during the duel.  Hamyuts tells Matt one night that she does not want to be killed by him [ though she is willing to be killed by anyone else ]. During the battle, Matt chases Hamyuts after she gets this urge to kill. [ Unstoppable girl. ] Matt almost follows Photona’s advice to kill her, but stops before that.

And it flips back to the present time, both remembering their pasts.

This episode was kinda a shocker since Director was really just a girl at a bar being picked up. [ and somehow having god like powers/ and top of that, a shy glasses girl...sterotype anyone? ] What other interesting things to come out of this series must be…

Chiesu-desu! It looks like we’re back from our little holiday stupor, being dragged around by family, going shopping, sleeping in and keeping warm beneath the covers. But on to the episode! We’ve got a new title screen 8D featuring Sawako wearing something warm and a ginkgo leaf background (Fun fact: These trees are native to China but are also found cultivated in areas in North America, mainly the decidious forests of Southern Ontario. Actually, I have a neighbour who has one. Pretty beautiful yellow leaves. I believe the name Ginkgo is for its silver fruit).

Just when we thought Kurumi was becoming less and less antagonizing towards Sawako, she comes up with a ploy to get Sawako and Sanada together (-cringes- NO! Chizu x Ryuu -regains composure). Sawako’s naivety and impenetrable obliviousness gets the better of Kurumi who reveals that she had been watching him since middle school… That’s only slightly creepy.

“Kazehaya too appears to be oblivious… or maybe he just doesn’t like Kurumi.”

“And whenever there was a chance, I’d go and talk to him, and I always worked hard to make sure he didn’t find a girlfriend”… Dude, just let him like who he wants to like. Kurumi didn’t even properly tell him her feelings, and having experience in animeology (I’ve also got a 4-year degree in Otaku lifestyle) like every other male character he’s oblivious to others feelings unless they’re presented on a silver platter with bay leaf and lemon peel to garnish. Kurumi gets worried that Sawako has found out her secret of preventing girls going near him, but Sawako’s still winded over the idea that Kurumi braved rain, wind, and a blizzard to be the stalker she is today. /o\ -face palm-

Sawako still hasn’t come to terms with her feelings for him, and so she takes Kurumi’s advice on talking to Sanada…to ask Sanada what her feelings towards Kazehaya may be. I kind of find that I can identify with Sawako in that way because it was pretty recent when I first fell in love and I didn’t quite know what the feeling was until it hit me. Yay for youth (?) Continuing on, the boys cleared baseball with a win mostly due to Kazehaya somehow striking every single person on the opposing team out. Looking over this now, I’m kind of wondering why Kazehaya’s wearing a blue shirt and everyone else has to wear white. Next time I play on a sports team I’ll just get out the ol’ screen tee that says “I’m with stupid” and stand by the umpire. Good times, good times.

Kazehaya approaches Sanada and asks him whether he has feelings for Kuronuma or not. Clearly it’s bugging him, and he shows his jealous side saying he wishes he was the one to save her… Really what difference does it make. Would it have been better if Sawako was hit? The characters are each proving to be highly immature in this way, though with Ryu I can’t tell, looks like he, being the cool silent type, holds the most logic and maturity among the characters.

Humorous scene with Pin and Kurumi who gets her shine on.

“Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows,
Everything that’s digusting is what Pin feels when Kurumi’s around”

It shows a bit of what Kurumi is plotting, and just how much Pin dislikes cute and cheerful things. But that’s wait there’s more, afterwards there’s a bit of a psychological girl fight between Kurumi and Yano. Kinda an anti-climactic end to it but nevertheless a girlfight is always awesome. I wonder, do girlfights irl get as psychological as this?

Volleyball team won, but it was kinda disappointing not being able to see the game, Yoshida probably spiked it into all the other players faces at least once before winning. Epic. The episode concludes with Sawako thanking Ryu for saving her life and a little confession by him saying, “I… only love Chizuru”. Looks like my prediction from episodes previous about Ryuu’s feelings towards Chizuru were right. \o/ I’m finally right. But, Kazehaya misunderstands their rendezvous from the distance and gets jealous… Err… Ryuu already said he had no feelings for Sawako, and is it such a crime for Sawako to smile with another guy? Though I’m kind of a hypocrit like that because if I was in his position, I’d probably get jealous seeing the girl I like with another guy. Immature yet real, the character development in this one is a lot deeper than most of the Fall-Winter season animes.

Screenblock nao?

“Talk to the hand.”
