She is no dummy any women would notice if you start talking about another girl so much even if she is just a friend. This just makes me believe even more that somehow someway that Hosino will instrumental in Mao and Kouichi getting together. Almost like a parting gift i can see her saying "If i cant be here for him at least i know there he is with someone who truly cares for him i can entrust Kouichi feelings to you Mao-sempai." Or something like that.

OMG I just worked how it could happen.... The tragic romance thing she has. Not only can she be selfless in her love for Kouichi by not tying his heart into a long distance relationship, but she can fulfil the role of the tragic heroine!

Oh thats good its like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. That mean in the end Hoshino would become like the female characters from the romance novels she is so found off. I think we are going to have a very nice ending with no real bitterness sadness yes but nothing like (The series that shall not be named

) ending.

Yes the series that should never be mentioned *cough*...

You know how businesslike Hiragi is, do you think that Mitsuki's rich parents would be pleasantly impressed by him and want him for their heir instead?

The official site has updated for 18 with a little summary and some pictures. Looks like you Kaz x Eriko x Asuka fans will get some movement this episode. Notice the shot of Mao soaked walking by a store and the shot of Kouichi looking in(probably at Mao) from the doorway..

I'm not to great with Japanese but theres something about Kai in the starting of the summary

I wouldnt be surprised if she went to Futami's house to speak with her. Apparently in anime its easier to get someones address than cellphone number. If that were the case that would knock another person out of the running and Sakino would be on the side lines with Kai. The scene of Futami was short but i felt she looked lonely, i dont believe she wanted to end the experiments with Kazuki and she actually regrets it. I mean summer is almost over that means she spent the entire summer alone thats just too sad as i stated before my belief is that Futami needs Kazuki and vice versa. Futami needs Kazuki so he can show her love is worth the risk and being alone does nothing for you but bring sorrow, only Kazuki can show her this but showing her his true feelings. He was so close until the incident with her Sakino make no mistake Kazuki was making progress even it was slow and steady

WELCOME BACK GRIMKILL7

It really is too bad that Sakino will indeed have to sacrifice her current feelings in order to rectify the situation with Kazuki and Futami however I dont believe this leaves her totally out of scope but Im hoping that there are no last minute plot twists concerning their relationship. I can almost predict the emotional outpour when Kazuki is finally able to communicate his feelings to Futami and hopefully, she to him however this is only speculation and something Id really like to see. Ah, the typical tsundere emotional relapse scenario, I love it.

I was thinking about that earlier (stop reading my mind lol) If Mitsuki's parents are the typical anime rich parents Hiragi could win them over with his over zealous like business sense. But is he better suited than the person she is already betrothed to? There is no one better suited for Mitsuki than Hiragi, not only would he treat her well but he will be very successful too. Lets hope they touch on them it would be a shame not to.

Deathkillz · 2008-02-07, 14:44

Doubt it, or they would have to sacrifice too much for the main characters. Not to mention it would be totally out of pacing with the series if the perspective suddenly shifted seen as we haven't seen anything concering those two being a pair.

A tragic theory for yumi...almost too tragic. I can't say for sure that she would let go of her first love that easily but that can be a possibility, but it would lessen the drama which is something I'm looking forward to

KM was nice enough to provide us with some insight since he was selected along with others to watch 18 and 19. Some interesting bits of news:

Actually an emotional outpour from Kazuki just might tip the scales and actually get through to Futami about how much he cares about her. Look at what happened when Sakino did it. Lets hope it doesnt get too messy.

I would not want something that woud take away from the story at hand. Screen time right really does need to be alloted to the current situations taking place. However a few min time slot here or there once all drama has been resolved would be nice, or maybe another character talking about it in passing.

lol, people are just getting this? Hoshino stepping down and breaking it up with Kouichi when she leaves is the only way to do it. If kouichi breaks it up, even for the right reason, he will be the bad guy. If Yuumi does it, then she actually comes out the good guy and nobody is the bad guy.

Oh My God... these spoilers are a lot more detailed then I expected and they actually focus on the Kazuki front.

True, but if they decided to go this route it would be unexpected and shocking!

I wonder why did they even bother putting those two girls in the first intro....since they seem to have vanished.

km0120 · 2008-02-07, 18:45

Yuumi will not leave from Kibina city till the culture festival ends.
They are covering up the tragedy that awaits Yuumi...

Spoiler for the light novel:

Lego Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008	KM was nice enough to provide us with some insight since he was selected along with others to watch 18 and 19. Some interesting bits of news: Spoiler: 1.We know that Mao told Kai that she couldn't see him anymore in her current state, or in this way. In 18 from your spoilers and the next episode preview we know they talk to each other. Do they break up with each other forever as in a mutual breakup? A1. No. Kai cannot accept the breakup. Ugh, so they left the window open with Kai... 3.What does Mao say to Kouichi? Obviously we know she tells him about her feelings for him but does she say that she broke up with Kai and more importantly that she loves him? A3. Mao tells Kouichi that she has loved him since she was a child. At least thats good.. 19 4. 2.When you say relationship is strained, is this Mao x Kouichi's or Kouichi x Yuumi's? A2. I meant by Mao x Kouich's. Yeah I can see that.. 3.Did you get the feeling from this episode that Kouichi loves Mao back? A3. Yes. To be precise, he starts to get conscious of Mao as one woman. Theres your answer dragoon 5.Is Kouichi thinking about Mao even with Yuumi, for example he does what Mao did with Kouichi and Yuumi's kiss? A5. Yes, I feel he is. Quote: 6.With her feelings out in the open Mao is solely focused on Kouichi right? A6. Yes, but it seems Mao still loves Kai. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. dammit, thats the last thing we need is Mao still going back to or thinking of Kai even after she confessed to Kouichi

km0120 Member Join Date: Jan 2008	Spoiler for Spoilers from episode 19 to episode 22quoted from magazines: 19. After Kouichi knew Mao's feelings, he does not understand how he treats her. And he is falling between two stools. Meanwhile, Kazuki has helped Eriko's experiment: "Why do men love each other?" and he has been playing lovers with her; she suddenly said to him: " The experiment will not produce love; This is the counclusion..." 20. uncontrollable Mao cannot hold down her feelings. She is not able to concentrate on giving a performance with Kouichi in filming, but suprisingly Kai cheers up her. In contrast, Kazuki makes efforts to open Eriko's heart... 21.cutting memory Kazuki is very glad to hook up with Eriko again since he told her his own feelings. Meanwhile, Aska gets sad to see them that got back with each other, though she has had her fingers crossed for his love... 22. time goes by Asuka cannnot focus on club activities and preparation for the cultual festival; she has run over many mistakes. Eriko notices that Asuka is fretting over something while Kazuki is too dull to do. One day, Mao meets Eriko again in a school nurse's office because she has been tired from her moving. In the past, Mao said she did not know about her feelings, and Eriko said she knew everything about herself. Now, two positions is turning over...... Ahh... Where is Yuumi?

The one that interests me the most is 20 with Spoiler: its title being "Uncontrollable". How much I bet you that that is the kissing scene in the movie and Mao just can't do it because her own feelings are to vibrant. So they're keeping Kai in the show and he cheers Mao up.. So my Spoiler: mind is a little at east now seeing that Kouichi knows that Mao loves him but then they bring Kai back in where he cheers Mao up. .

Lego Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008	So if Yuumi Spoiler: doesn't leave until the culture festival ends, that doesn't bode well for Mao x Kouichi especially with Kai cheering Mao up. I'm more concerned about what you mentioned to me in the spoiler for 22 KM in that Spoiler: MAO IS MOVING?!, does it say where shes moving to or why? Could she possibly be going back to France? .
