Another excellent episode. First, Minorin and Kitamura turn the tables on the Toradora team in scaring them back (dragging poor Ami along as well). Then we have Ami discussing her feelings between hers and Minorin's relationship with Ryuji, Finally, the "ghost" analogy is given its conclusion with Minorin pledging to seek out her "ghosts".
Ami's development is certainly just as interesting as Minorin's, if not any more or less.
Taiga naturally takes a backseat in these two episodes, but she'll return to reclaim centre stage next week with your good ol' school festival coming up.
PS Upon seeing the characters get off at Obashi (大橋) Station, I can't believe I actually spent some time looking up the JR East railway map and googling to see if there's such a station, but found nothing, unsurprisingly.
