What a fascinating first episode. The world of self-imposed fashion disasters in recluse comes crashing down from none other than a beautiful cross dressing man.
I am most impressed with Hanazawa's work, shuffling from introverted recluse to panicky psychosis to jellyfish scholar in a matter of seconds. This might be her best work yet.
Not really comedic personally but I find the setting and the possibilities thereafter to be extremely interesting. I don't even think that Tsukimi's ugly per se, I think she's quite normal. Interestingly, like Sawako in KnT, I think some adjustments in her look and style and she could look very attractive. I guess that's where Koibuchi comes in?
As for the jellyfish itself, it means more than being a simple obsession for Tsukimi, but I'll get to that when I have time to blog this next week.
