I really love romance, but there was a lot of pseudo romance here. The wedded couple just don't make much sense to me together -- or separately, for that matter. And it is really impossible to simply decide you're in love. We weren't given any emotional lead-up to Ohana's deciding to be in love. Much as I
want her to be in love with Kou, she didn't show it to me here. Maybe she will next week. To be honest, I wasn't very satisfied with Itou Kanae's acting this week. I like the sound of her voice, but I didn't get real feeling.
Minchi was the only one whose love seemed real. I actually did like the scene where Tooru finally realized that she loved him and reacted honestly and kindly. There is yet hope. And unlike others I loved Omigawa Chiaki's work here, at least in parts. When she was sobbing, there were some very real tones in there.
As for the cross-dressing, I don't much like this supposedly humorous version of it at the best of times, and this was not the best of times. I did enjoy the singer, on the other hand.
Despite all that, I enjoyed the episode a lot. Hard to explain.
I'm hoping that Tomoe and the chef will get together and ask for the Inn. Maybe Ohana will tell Kouchan she loves him, but he will already be taken, and it will be a real one-sided love. Not my preference, but it could happen.
