awwwww!!! hinako is fast becoming my favorite loli for this season...theres just nothing about her you can hate ^^
and for all loli lovers out there (including me) this was just a lolitastic treat
Spoiler:
well it may not have contributed to the overall story but it surely did contribute to my enjoyment of this series
everytime hinako shows up it just seems to end in with heartwarming heart filled moment and this was no different from the time she was crying over sana's shoulders.
quite the cute ep where hinako ends up moving into sana's place temporary due to her mother being busy with work (again). it was later that sana found out it was actually here birthday so i guess she just didnt want to be alone over such an important time even if she didnt actively want a party or any of that sorts.
Hinako is a really interesting character in my opinion. she is a girl who is trying to be a woman who ends up just doing the most ooc things for girls of her age. yet it is her being lonely aspect which causes her to realise that she is a person who do feel the need for others, so perhaps she isnt at all that mature.
this ep also had some great funny moments...with the return of the killer curry as well as aoi having another spazm fit seeing Sana on top of Hinako (for various reasons ^^).
but the highlight for me has to be seeing hinako offering sana to sleep with her (no, not in that way you perverts!! XD) for comfort...such a heartwarming little scene - i just cant find the word the describe how fluffy it all felt...all the way through that i was just "awwwww" looking at how happy hinako feels...ahh the simple things ^^
and the second highlight was the kiss of thanks...okey while it isnt a total confirmation that she will fall for sana (and with her lingering feelings for shuu), it is something at least
a very good ep nonetheless.
