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.
