This episode went in a totally different direction than I was expecting. I expected Izumi to learn about Ryouma's goodbye kisses and for their relationship to take another dip as a result. I still expect that to happen sometime. I just thought it would happen this week.
Unlike last week, Ryouma gets an A+ for self-control this time around.

For some reason I also remember that editor being a bit more harsh in the manga. Now I need to re-read that part. |

I liked how they played the episode as if it was a behind the scenes documentary. It allowed them to add in some of the extra chapters. Like Rei's past as a thug, Rei and Shougo spoiling Izumi, and Izumi's and Ryouma's taxi ride back to Izumi's house.
Ryouma's always finding excuses to kiss Izumi. |

Yes, a good episode. I can understand why so few people are interested in this show, if only because it's shounen ai, but I'm enjoying most episodes, and the romance is working for me. Izumi is cute and Ryouma is strong, kind, and romantic. Nothing's very deeply drawn, but it's still enjoyable.

I was kind of hoping they'd thrown in some Back Stage! moments, but it doesn't look like they will. |

I may have read more than intended into an early scene from episode 1 or 2, but I got the feeling that Rei and Shougo had a sexual relationship some time in the past. I remember a scene where Shougo drapes himself around Rei and asks him something like "Want to give it another go?" Rei responds with a rather chilly "No." And of course, there's the implications of the ED where Rei and Shougo are always shown together. Between the two, I wasn't the least bit surprised when Rei expressed his support for Izumi.

I suspect if they're going to do Rei/Shougo they'd do that as a set of extras on the DVD/Bluray release or perhaps an OVA?
I wouldn't be surprised if the other otaku guy who went looking for Izumi turns out to be good at martial arts and comes to Izumi's rescue. |
