Now this was back to the good stuff.
I really enjoyed the ups and downs of the episode for Sorata. There was plenty of fun with the romance side of it with the girls reacting in their own way to Sorata's interview dilemma.
Just loved Mashiro replacing the charm that apparently didn't get the job done. I'm not sure how effective one that says "easy childbirth" will be, but you never know
. Really was a case where the feelings were what really mattered. Twice Mashiro went out by herself to try and support Sorata (I assume the second charm came from a second trip). She had things coming up as well with her meeting regarding serialization, but it wasn't the only thing she was focusing on. Quite the effective scene with her jumping with the fireworks lighting up the sky.
Glad in the end Sorata was able to just keep on moving forward. Reacting like that just shows how much he cares and he just has to keep on trying.
