I love this anime. The blushing in this episode cracked me up even as I felt for Ritsu in all his confusion. ♥ Takano was so cool when he declared that he'd take responsibility if Ritsu failed to make the deadline. Friday's have certainly become even better with this show on. I'm sad that next week seems to shift focus away from Ritsu.

As for the manga, after some determined digging I found raws of chapter 11 and Takano chapter 1, as well as Chinese scans of chapter 10 and a rather crappy translation/summary. Chapter 11 was PURE AWESOME. Chapter 10 was cool and super pivotal, but I think the impact was lessened because I couldn't read read it. Takano chapter 1 was enlightening. I am sooo glad Yokozawa got straightened out. As I had complained before, I was getting tired of him being so down on Ritsu. I felt a bit sorry for him, but only a tiny bit, because he really had his hopes that he'd get his chance with Takano again some day. The drowned out confession was very groan-inducing, but the sheltering under the rain bit was so cute.

What I liked about chapter 11 (besides the "it's like a honeymoon" comments and the deliberate stealing of the covers) was how amazingly awkward they were in trying to make a real relationship and acting like middle school students, and how they knew they suck at it but were so happy that they are stumbling towards something now.

The Takano chapter was adorable because there is something adorable about seeing someone so resigned finding himself falling in love. That "dokidoki" moment while looking at Ritsu dorking out was perfect. And that last bit with adult Takano thinking how Ritsu was his first love, even if Ritsu doesn't know it, made me smile. But back to the serious stuff. Wow, Takano had some major issues. But then, his family's fail is pretty epic. I suppose it'd make you get past bitter and angry to something cold and sad. He really blew hot and cold towards Ritsu and makes Ritsu's (over?)reaction more understandable. I'm looking forward to seeing Takano chapter 2.




And for something completely unrelated, I saw these boxes at the grocery store and had to take a pic. Imagine a wall of about 10x8 thumbs up yetis. XD;

Ah, crap, deleted the comment. -_-;

I loved Ritsu falling asleep on Takano's shoulder. So adorable!

Chapter 10 could totally be the end of the anime...I hope they decide to go with it, it'd be such a lovely end.
