Excellent stuff. A lot of series get stale when the main couple finally start going out, but so far so good. And now that the focus is on Risa, it'll be really refreshing.
Oh, and the extra service is nice.

Given Izumi's reaction to Risa last time (and her inadvertently making fun of his height), Eri will have some difficulty convincing him to go along with it.... She may have to trick him, especially with him knowing Risa is the difficult, clingy type he doesn't really like.
Loved the chapters. Nice to see Yuki giving something back to the relationship by going out of her way to walk home with him and calling him by her first name. It was a good way to show that Yuki holds more of a piece of the "love pie" than Utsumi thinks. Though I don't get her hesitance at using their first name at club practice. She says she doesn't mind people knowing, but then says if they found it, they'd start acting weird, which means she really does mind then knowing. I feel bad for Risa, but she's definitely going about things the wrong way. Quitting and ignoring Utsumi, while good to put distance between them, also makes him feel guilty, which she may not be doing on purpose, but is still a bit mean. It's just going to make things worse later on.

Risa is reacting in a predictable fashion. Of course she's not going to want to be around Seiji-kun after he's got a girlfriend, and she doesn't need to be around him. She won't get over him by seeing him all the time at work, or talking to him at school. Especially when he's in his "I've got make everybody happy" mode whenever he sees a pretty face. There's nothing mean about what she's doing. Seiji doesn't have the right to be hurt about her actions, and he shouldn't be feeling guilty. Helping her is nice and all, but doing it out of guilt cheapens the whole thing.

As for Risa, I know Utsumi's being an idiot for feeling guilty. He shouldn't. He loves who he loves and he told Risa clearly that he liked someone else. Her hanging on after that was her own fault. Maybe because it's happened to me before, but given the way Risa forced a kiss on him, I don't trust her as much as Utsumi does. I remember one girl who liked me, we were good friends and hung out a lot, but I was going out with someone else at the time. She quit her job (worked at the same place I did at the time) and started ignoring me when I turned her down, even though she knew I was dating someone else and we were just friends. Turns out her quitting and ignoring me were a ploy to get me to feel guilty and try to steal me away. Needless to say, I no longer speak to that girl. So seeing the same pattern here bugs me. :P I highly doubt Risa would do something like that, but past experience has colored my view.

Geez you really need to do something about your pessimism
Your scenario is fine until a sudden break up Hooking up with Risa? I don't think he'll ever get together with Risa, he's just not feeling her. Also, he's not the type to just break up, he's already at a point where he knows he has to properly communicate with her as he did the last couple of times so I think he'll be fine even though it will be hard at first once the Tooru "arc" starts. I personally think SK could use Tooru to create a plot in which Yuki can proof to Utsumi that she is over the whole Tooru incident, including Tooru himself, and ultimately show her commitment to Utsumi. really, just don't emo out on every chapter, GE drama level has been fine for quite a while now |
