This episode made me cry, as all the rest except for 07 and 01.

It was confusing, but I just needed a first watch to believe Yuuki is indeed dead. I was surprised most bloggers didn’t notice, and I do hope they are right and that Yuuki is alive, I loved his character so much. But I’m certain he is dead.

I want them to give a good reason for his death. I don’t think it’s fair, after surviving and all, I want them to give him a terminal disease that was there since her was born, because him dying from just extreme walking under the sun would make me MAD.

Yuuki. ;_;

*smiles* “What’s your intention?” -Chisato ignores him- *laughs, then worried face* “You are still ignoring me??”

Fuu looking tenderly at Chisato = spoilers from episode 10 = yay! I kind of like that.
I know Chisato is supposed to be the type that gets too attached and super nice and everything, but I think the Takeru thing was a bit too much. Sho looks so happy jumping the rope haha. Aww I like how Sho cares for Takeru and viceversa. Akira being so indirect but obvious was so cute. HAHA WTH, Chisato was freaked out by Sho for the first part of the episode and now she is like alone with him at night again? Smiling, and for no aparent reason? Same spot? Lol, they sure are close. So, now Chisato goes “you can’t go” again…and Sho runs after her, and when Satoru attempts to follow…Masaru stops him. Quite convenient for a ShoChisato scene. And there, shoulder grab yay~

OMG. I was thinking of dropping it, because I kind of lost interest after knowing there was no romance…I guess that many may have think the same, because YES. YES. IT HAPPENED, WHAT I WANTED.

Happenings, ah~
I wonder what will happen…I do think Chisato feels the same, the scene in which they are at the room when the light went off gave me that vibe because of her reactions. I feel like she doesn’t know how to react at all, kind of like Haruhi from Ouran. But omg, he is so smooth. Loved how he grabbed her like fuck it, full throttle, and bang, kiss. Waaah so romantic. ~

I love the chemistry between Sho and Chisato, but leaving that aside, another interesting episode. I like the fact things are going pretty fast in the good way, there is development and unresolved development, like Sho and Takeru didn’t make up completely yet. I like Takeru now, he was pretty funny in some parts and he is not annoying to me now. Masaru gets a little on my nerves…I wonder if Satoru fetched Sho’s kid…maybe he didn’t and that’s why the whole “Sho can’t take care of his boy” comes from? I was hoping Satoru and Sho’s kid bonded, and that that would make him come out of his dark world. Seems he is going to come out of the house next episode…

Sho and Chisato going spies was so funny. I reaaallly hope they get together in the end. I will get furious if my otp doesn’t become reality here.

Up to chapter 7, Volume 1, this is what I think of the characters.

Takemoto: A likable guy, yet I still don’t feel too attached to him.
Hagu: The design kind of freaks me out, but ignoring that fact…and while I like weird characters, and while I suppose there is a reason for her weird silent behaviour, still don’t feel attached either.
Morita: Hehe he is fun. And stupid. I like him!
Mayama: Same as Takemoto, the difference is that I don’t tend to feel much for characters like him, while I know I will like Takemoto a bit more.
Yamada: Ah, wanted to reach her! “He is an idiot and I don’t know why I like him”, and you know all his faults, I wonder WHO hasn’t been there. I bet there is people who hasn’t, and I think they are extremely lucky! I like a guy for who knows how much, but I am not as lucky as Yamada. At least her guy knows it and doesn’t give her hope. Mine is as stupid as Morita, and don’t even let me start with my confession. But we are friends, and he really likes me as a friend, even though sometimes it’s hard. So that’s why to this point Yamada is my favourite, yeah, just as she appears.

Shippings:
I know this won’t be a couple in the end -or maybe, I don’t really know- but I like the interaction Yamada and Morita have…I don’t think Yamada and Mayama will end up together, and I suppose Hagu will be in a triangle so it’s pretty out of the picture that Morita and Yamada end up being something. I can’t imagine what will happen. But if it comes to it, I prefer HaguTakemoto. Yet I have the feeling that won’t happen…but I can’t see Hagu with Morita, really. One is too weird, and the other…annoys me with her silences.

I love Horikita Maki. And the fact that she is surrounded by males who will probably try to win her, ~ah~!

So we have Fuu who seems to be the quiet type, the guy who also acted in HanaKimi who is pretty feminine, Takeru the delivery boy who seems to be either a dork or a hot-head, in the end I decided I’m calling him monkey boy, Satoru who talks through a tv, Akira the shouta, And Sho, the type I think will probably end with Maki’s character whose name has slipped from my mind. I think I found my shipping. ~ Ah, but I guess Fuu is also quite likable…since none of them are Ikuta Toma or Matsumoto Jun or such, I don’t really know who is more likely to get her. Well, obviously no the feminine boy, nor the shouta, nor the tv guy. Since Fuu wasn’t with the rest, he will most likely be involved greatly in some way or another, and since Sho is the prettiest and got more screentime than the rest…yeah, yeah. Ah yes, I’ve just reached the part where my girl meets with my boy. Good! Lol Inoue super maid! Poor Satoru, and yay more ShoChisato time! I’m really liking Sho, he is cool yet kind of…I can’t describe it properly. I’d say clumsy in a way but that’s not it exactly. But, I’ll take a guess. There must be a catch to what the millionaire wanted Chisato to do there, and Sho knows about it. That’s why he wants to help her, and then Fuu will appear and both Chisato and him will feel attracted to each other, BUT! Sho realizes he loves Chisato and makes up for it. How’s that? =D In the meanwhile Chisato will help the boys with their problems, as the milloinare wanted! Lol what’s with Satoru backing away when touching Chisato? Guess too much time without contact? Awww the ending, evil Sho! Yay! The fact he is 25, just a bit older to Chisato sums more points.

But now that I think about it she may end up with nobody. I’m not sure about the genre.

Everyone keeps comparing this to Lucky Star, and I do understand why, but I really disliked Lucky Star’s first episode, thought it was too boring. Some say you need to get past episode 5…but I felt the show was not for me. The characters here do remind me of the LS cast, but not that much. I thought I would like Yui a lot more since I’m a bit like that, -but with a strong personality, anyway- but she acts too stupid. At the end she was like, watching the air…dunno. I do like her though, doesn’t annoy me. Ritsu is fun, and Tsumugi…ah, I almost always dislike this type of characters. She is no different, while I don’t disliiiike her, I don’t care either. What’s with the BIG eyebrows?? Mio, ah well, I’m sure she will be a favorite to most after the ending sequence. But she is also a great character, and I’m sure she’ll remain my face til the end. We’ll see.

I’m addicted to the K-On! ending. The animation is superb, but the music, I don’t know why I like the music so much! I haven’t seen the first episode yet but I’m following the songs either way.

New great manga, Arisa. Only 3 chappies out, but it’s been very interesting so far.

Bokura wa Itsumo (til chapter 5)
I love the art, and I love the characters. All of them are more than meets the eye, even Kyou surprised me, since I support Haruna/Nori, the rival is usually a bit dislikable in serious animanga, yet Kyou wasn’t actually mean, but just…silly, childish, and a bit of a coward IMO. Yet, he may still see Nori as just a friend, but be jealous and selfish without having romantic feelings for her. Typical in boys who have everything, to feel they are losing something and then noticing they are not actually god-like /has a dork friend like that, which she likes since forever hah…he makes me go crazy everytime he actually notices me, he toys me so much, ugh/ . I love the fact Haruna is younger, somehow. I related to Nori so much as well, I also feel like I’m not changing in a way and want to speed up. Saeka is also really likable, I am crossing my fingers for a Saeka/Kyou ending -’cause I think it’s obvious something is going to go horrible with the sempai…-and HarunaNori ending please, I won’t like it if it’s any other way. Also, let’s get rid of the annoying Haruna stalker.

Half and Half (oneshot)
Cuter than expected, I knew there was going to be a twist and while it may have been obvious to many people, I was still a bit surprised.

Love Luck
Quite generic main character, but I really really enjoy the plot. I love love/hate romantic couples, so I love Dan’s character.

Kimi no Iru Machi
Like Bokura wa Itsumo, this one is a favourite these days. I love the art, I love the characters. I really liked the fact Haruto didn’t like Eba’s presence at first, and didn’t drool her like crazy, typical of girl-goes-to-live-with-boy stories. I am all for Eba/Haruto, and can’t wait to see what happens next.

Kyou Koi wo Hajimemasu
I admit I kind of skip pages of the first 3 chapters, but then I got a bit enchanted by chapter 4. Another love/hate relationship, Kyota being really mean sometimes and Hibino being a bit annoying at first but then she grew on me! I want her to stop wearing braids though. Lol at how she dressed for the date…I loved the fact he got rid of that t-shirt haha. So clever and naughty. Again, I kind of…understand her uneasiness with Kyota. Stupid personal experience, I like such a stupid, popular and handsome boy who is my friend and when at parties he does this flirty stuff in a way and aaaah. I really enjoy the kiss scenes…hehe I also felt “something weird in my mouth” back then, I still think giving a kiss is awesome and extremely funny/weird.
I am way up ahead chapters now, and I love Hibino. She fought and yay! They make an awesome couple. And as she has my hair, she kind of reminds me of me…so yeah I totally love Hibino hehe. OMG, chapter 18, page 13 was hilarious. LOL! After chapter 19, I totally adore this series as well. Quite unexpected! But the kiss scenes are really hot, and I love how both characters developed into a great couple!

Episode 8 -New character, Ami, was introduced some episodes back. I must say I thought I’d hate her, but I don’t. I actually like all the cast, and I’m eager to see the girl council member who Taiga quarrels with. Her strictness is funny. Anyway, back to Ami, her “are you stupid” to Ryuuji in episode 8 was very well taken by me. Actually, her attitude when Taiga was drowning was surprising, I mean, it was obvious she would get worried but when rivals worry about each other when a second ago they were trying to make the other feel bad in some way…The raining scene was splendid. Poor Taiga. I didn’t get why, when telling Taiga he still wanted her to win, he kind of surprised himself by saying “win”. WOW. Just reached the Ryuuji gets hit and drowns scene, and god, Taiga is crying so hard! It’s amusing! It is such a great scene! Yelling someone is yours, wow.
Episode 9/10 -Ami seems to know a lot more than she shows. Then, lol at Yusaku’s manservice. Taiga seeing Ami naked was hilarious. Minori was a big surprise…I should have known Kitamura, Ami and Minori are really important to the story, duh, but developing such a weird character like Minori, and make that ghost dialogue credible in such ways. Last but not least, Taiga, ha, I love what’s happening, seriously, they are slowly progressing. And whoa at the answer Ryuuji gave Minori…so well put in the context. And Minori…was actually giving him a positive over there? Stupid firework.
Episode 11 -A more serious episode, while I may have been a bit sleepy myself because of my day, I liked the last scene. Poor Ryuuji.
