Well, we finally get the story behind Chihiro’s condition this episode. I must admit that I just didn’t really feel all that surprised by the revelation. It’s not even really like Kei comes off as some sadistic person or something, I don’t know. I guess it’s not all that surprising because there weren’t really a lot of other “realistic” causes behind her condition. That probably didn’t really make any sense to you, but anyway…

We’re almost half way through the series and I still don’t know where this show’s really going given that there are multiple “arcs” at work here. I am most interested in Amamiya and Himura’s story, although I can’t decide if that’s only because we really know nothing about those two or not. I don’t think it’ll go down that path though. Kei and Kyosuke’s probably going to be tossed off to the sidelines since their story probably isn’t going to be very interesting or original. Renji and Chihiro’s is the the ideal candidate with an interesting story although I do like seeing Hirono and Miyako on screen more. Ah, which arc will the series focus on?

The ending for this episode was a little odd. I was contemplating over how Kei would magically fall for Kyosuke back in episode 3 and I can tell from that there’s going to be a lot of angst (and hand waving?) involved here.
