the first full, intentional kiss so far that happens before the final arc episode, but it's also the first full, intentional kiss that we can actually see. Before, it's always been from a distance or from behind one of their heads to block part of the view.

I like.

You're right and we knew from previous episodes Ai was pretty flirty, but...

Spoiler for Ai - you go girl!:

she was very assertive in this episode. I think she intentionally wanted her day with Junichi to be a private date, which is why she did not bring her brother along. When she stood above him on the swing, she did it on purpose as well to tease him some more. I knew a kiss was coming when she sat on his lap, though, and figured she'd be the one to initiate it. I made a comment earlier about Junichi and Ai ending up in the pool together and it certainly happened. I'm glad he chased after Ai, and grabbed her before she climbed out. They looked really good together as he held her in his arms. Who knows what would have happened if he actually went back with Ai when she asked if he was free before they departed?
