Impressions:

How ironic, I had been complaining about how subs for this show weren’t being released fast enough, and now I’m behind…Anyway, episode 7 was not as good as the last, mainly because it wasn’t funny and it didn’t have a good story. Last episode was much stronger in the latter part, and most the other episodes had some decent comedy. Although, the quality remained quite high and adult Kazuki sure looks better than her current self! Kazuki finally realises that she has some responsibility in her own life, as her sister, Hatsune, has been doing everything for her. The episode revolves around Kazuki and Katsune. Hatsune is also explored in more detail, and her ‘perfection’ is revealed: she’s smart, sporty, a good cook, popular and everything thing else…However, I think she’s far too motherly, which even continued when she somehow lost all ability to survive (by that I mean when she became clumsy). She’s basically your typical onee-sama, but with a slightly strange fetish with getting Kazuki nude…Right. Anyway, next episode – dunno what happens since I didn’t even look at the preview (it was getting late).

So after some good development between Kazuki and Yuuji, it’s time to get Kazuki and her sister a little closer together. I never like it when the story strays from the original plan, and by original I mean the outcome that’s meant to come from the story. Kazuki simply has to get with Yuuji. I refuse to accept anything else. I hate endings (in romance) where nothing comes about as a result of anything, and the couple-to-be stay as a couple-to-be. Basically, this episode saw no development between Kazuki and Yuuji, but their strong bond formed last episode seems to have made no room for more improvement in their relationship. Yuuji has returned to trying to grope Kazuki, which of course means that she is still annoyed at him for trying. However, we all know that their feelings toward each other (especially Kazuki) has drastically changed for the better. Anyway, so far we’ve had a Yuuji x Chihaya episode, Marie x Niina ep, Yuuji x Kazuki ep, Kazuki x Hatsune ep and various others. What’s left is some more interaction between Marie and the rest of the characters. Some more time should be spent time at school too, and by that I don’t mean on the bench by themselves, but actually communicating with some friends. They also need a group outing – that’s a must!
