This series just keeps getting better and better. Right, whoever thought that Nanaka was a bitch better go eat their words or else i am going to chase them with a bloody knife! Little do i need to say this episode is a huge plus for me on Nanaka's personality! While it still doesnt justify why she was mad with Sana in the first place, just seeing her character change for the better is so amazing. Nanaka has changed about 90 degrees from her attitude towards Sana before this ep and wow...she is so much more loveable (not that i didnt love before but now she is just LOVE
).
I actually thought it might take a while longer for her to come out of her isolated shell but it is evident that Sana's remembrance of her tune has deeply touched her for such a drastic transformation. While Nanaka hasnt completely lost her tsun side she is communication more and showing where her feelings lie.
Sana made a huge mistake in this ep by accidentally crushing Nanaka's mirror but to my surprise she didnt go into a rage or show much dislike towards Sana. And the happy yaro manages to redeem himself by buying her a new mirror which she is treasuring right now (as this is a gift from the one she loves isnt it obvious?). However, the downside to all this is that asami is proving to be more of a competition than previously thought - but Nanaka has only herself to blame for this sudden rival
anyway asami was also brought the same type of mirror given to Nanaka so i guess this counts as being even. at the river scene she further showed her threat by gaining more points from Sana by bringing in a cake where Nanaka was ready to hand out some home baked cookies (which was her speciality and aimed to bring back some nostalgic feelings), too bad for nanaka, she was one step too slow and ended up putting her cookies away again.
but what i like about this ep is the fact that nanaka later got a chance to gain back some point when she actually told sana and aoi that she backed some cookies after hearing them talk about nothing other than cookies! i guess fate was on her side but then again it was nanaka's assertiveness which allowed her to express her feelings.
That is basically the main major point of this ep - to show that nanaka isnt a bitch (yea carry on eating your words
) and to show that asami is a real rival.
other funny bits that went on included aoi hooking her own dress while trying to fish and zomg nanaka wearing her school one piece to go to a water park XD (may be a turnoff for some but i found her more attractive that way
)
ah...back to the SD ref. I was actually quite surprised to see Sana react to seeing the blood on the knife so much. while we can speculate that this may have something to do with nanaka's past i think a higher possibility would be to link it with his family - just a gut feeling so the former may be correct in fact
