Many of us who collect Japanese anime-and-related goods are currently salivating at the revelation that there'll be a Limited Special Edition of the Blu-Ray for this show that will come with Kantoku-illustrated bedsheets for the characters. Of course, each volume is about 9800 yen each MSRP (about ~$100 USD), collect all 6! (Granted, it's 3000 yen extra just for the bedsheet, and you can buy a version of the Special Edition without them...)
Anyway, that aside, I really enjoyed the first episode, and particularly the interactions with Azusa. The way she starts flubbing her words when embarrassed and inserting "nya"s into everything is seriously going to do me in. But Tsukiko is no less competition in the cute department either (but holy cow is her full name a tongue-twister -- Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko -- try saying that ten times fast!). The one small thing I actually wasn't too sure how to interpret at first was Tsukiko's kicking the bed after Azusa leaves the infirmary. But after thinking about it, I guess it's that she's angry/frustrated, but because of her condition she's not able to show emotions on her face/in her voice. So instead she starts kicking the bed like some sort of a twitch, which gets the point across. That's because her specific wish was that her true feelings should not show on her face. And hence the frustration: she has feelings, but she's completely prevented from showing it the way she normally would. In that sense, it's not so different from Azusa's "condition" where she's not able to show her true feelings in public if it would hurt her pride as an upper-class lady. Hence, our protagonist's clever exploitation of embarrassing her further in public, and playing right into the words she used to turn down the last guy. In the literal sense, he's meeting absolutely everyone of the requirements she laid down, and he's shown himself willing to be her slave. How is a high-class lady to refuse such an offer of unbridled devotion and loyalty? Her "happy like a curled-up cheetah" was awesome, though. (Points also for the sarcastic "yay... two girls are fighting over me... it's like a dream..." delivery. ) Anyway, I'm looking forward to next week.

That aside, information about the Blu-Ray I mentioned earlier has been posted, and it includes the aforementioned bedsheet (pretty NSFW). Sold!
