This guy is usually calm and cool, but he's holding back a lot. Slamming that cup spoke volumes. Tsugumu doesn't want to be a scumbag. If he was, he would have taken advantage of Chisaki's state during these past 5 years. Instead, he's a researcher who wants to know what happen to his friends and I would say a chunk of that reason is to make Chisaki happy. He's a good guy and he couldn't stand hearing her cry when she first moved in after losing everyone she knew. He got his resolve once he saw how hysterical she got over his gramp's condition. He explained his plans on the next scene. Quote:
Chisaki has to understand that there's always been a rock/red belly sea slug right beside her. As for Hikari, I feel for him. It's like somebody waking up from a coma for x amount of years and has to readjust to his/her new surroundings. He held back his frustration/pain from his family since he wanted to act strong, but vented his problems to his boy. Pretty accurate stuff. Miuna helped him in her own way by raising her own flag. Kancho = Butterflies

I think they meant to show that contrast between Tsumugu and Hikari. Hikari has always been the active type, can't sit still without doing something for somebody even when everybody else feels helpless. Tsumugu, on the other hand, does things by way of silent gestures. He made a pond for the sea kids at the beginning of the story. He offered advise when asked. He does things quietly. Tsumugu's the type who gives others' space, doesn't invade others' space, and will react more when sought out, as opposed to Hikari who doesn't have qualms taking the initiative. And one of the times that Tsumugu did take the initiative and offered to be Chisaki's red-bellied sea slug again, it backfired on him, and Chisaki left upset.
Doesn't mean that Tsumugu's way of caring/comforting is less than Hikari's. Well, to each his own. I do think that Tsumugu, is like Chisaki in a way. He's being cautious/wary about tipping the balance/changing the status quo. It took a while for Chisaki to return her usual cheerful and smiling face, but even that was a front, because Chisaki would still have this sad expression at times. He knew that Chisaki was missing her sea friends and her underwater home. What else could he do? He couldn't bring back the sleeping seafolks, which is impossible. Tsumugu studying oceanography was his silent way of helping Chisaki and the seafolks. It's not that Tsumugu isn't bothering to do anything. He is just subtle. |

Hey, if the level of suffering Kaname experiences when he returns manages to tone down that overly precocious personality of his, that's a change for the better. This is a melodrama involving the main cast. So everyone should be sucked into the vortex. There were signs of his facade slipping near the end of the 1st cour, but that's not enough to satiate Okada.

Really enjoyed this episode. I espically loved the interactions with Chisaki and Tsumugu. Since Hikari has shown up, hopefully Chisaki can leave her romantic feelings about him behind and move on. I'm interested to see see how Tsumugu handles all of this too
For whatever reason Miyu's feelings don't quite reach me. Perhaps because I only saw her feelings a childish crush and nothing more. I'm interested to see how Hikari will handle her feelings. Will he still hold hope for Manaka or move on with Miyu? I hope Manaka returns. Kaname? Kaname who? Hope he shows up soon too. What? Kaname? Who is that XD |

I think I found him!!! Seriously though, he might show up next episode. I don't think he'll adapt as quick since he doesn't have Hikari's support team. Who knows? For all we know, maybe he's already on the surface.

I just find it strange that people just assumed that the Shioshishio kids easily hibernated afterwards. We're talking about whirlpools, the seagod and all that magical crazy stuff man. They should be glad that they're still alive, but it's like 'oh hey you're back. You should totally see the 5 years worth of changes while you were asleep.' I especially expected Akari to explain things so Hikari wouldn't be overwhelmed but alas, she just let him be and expected him to deal with everything. Good thing Hikari is already mature enough and headstrong to absorb these changes. Miuna's crush on Hikari can't be more obvious and we're just starting! I think even Akari is starting to notice her fixation on Hikari. |

Hikari: I'm sakishima, who's repeating this class. Please call me Senpai and respect me. Miuna: I'm going to hold your hand so you don't wander off. Sayu: Must be nice! The person you like woke up! Looks like it'll become more obvious next episode with Hikari going to the same class as Miuna. Way to go Miuna. First kiss, check. Raising Flag, check. Next gonna be holding hand for sure Oh, and it seems that we'll have Sayu x Miuna conflict. |

And speaking of the friendzone, it's pretty much a guarantee that Kaname will return next ep. Maybe he'll walk in on Chisaki getting kancho'd by Akira again

At this point doesn't the scientist have more lines than Kaname did in the entire first cour?
