Y'know, I'm glad that there was some reconciliation and forgiveness between Kotoura and her mother at the end.

What everyone doesn't get is that forgive and forget is bullshit - you will never forget. But you can forgive, and eventually it stops hurting.

All in all it was a good series, and I like it.

Got around to watching those Kotoura specials (Haruka's Room1-6) out there, and it's really short but funny. My favorite were Daichi's segment, TWGOK reference for the win :p and Moritani's >
Moritani : you're calling me love-rival, so I still have a chance?
Kotoura : Nope no chance at all.. ... ( while smiling cutely as kotoura can )
Moritani : chikushooo !!!! ( starting to rampage, then emergency broadcast cut-off)
ahahah that had me lolling hard.

Haruka interviewing herself was fun too, because she kept changing seats and tired herself out at the end.

You do know that if Kotoura ever let it slip that she and her mom had a pillow fight Manabe would be picturing them in their lingerie fighting.

I'm not sure if Manabe would like the idea of seeing, let alone imagining Haruka's mother in her underwear...

Why not ?
She's obviously a very pretty lady, and seems still rather young.

With Manabe, nothing is out of bounds.

I would sure love to have a competition with him, if you know what I mean. :heh:

The soundtrack is just awsome. Nice music, for sure.

ANN reports that NIS America has licensed the series. [Source]

NIS did swiftly put in on their online store. But my issue is I seriously doubt NIS' business sense to license an 1-cour anime some two years after its premiere.

So this manga ended at 7 volumes, gonna have to search it.
