Ahh This is the part I like about animating a manga you really like. It brings more.
I like how the arc focuses on Chihiro's depression, because that's how she really is. A person who fails at life, someone who is burning in shining lights. Kind of reminded me of myself these days. And Keima being the support to her already winning her heart.
BTW I really like the hug scene, always wanted a short haired girl to hug me like that.
