Just saw episode 14 and rushed to this thread to read it and reply before spoilers pile up about the newest episode. I need a Crunchyroll subscription...

she's confident she can do it and assured everyone. mitsuo seemed not convinced but she said not to worry. if she failed the cooking that's because she pretended she can cook. but if you believe she's a competent driver, there's no reason for her to hold back and doubt herself. isn't this also about self-esteem and trusting more about herself? exorcising those insecurities. or are we going to take this away from her and put everything she did to get that license to naught? she can do this time and fail no more. there's a license to prove it. cooking requires none. she passed the rigorous training and stringent test based on japanese motoring standards afterall. |

that curse is just too much...
well, it's a fun and short episode... I'm glad they are able to turn their miserable beach-holiday into something fun It's also entertaining to see how Oka talked to Yana-san... hahaha... she just changed... and become very cold... anyway, Oka Chinami is too adorable in this episode.. Her swimsuit and clothes.. HNNGGG.. She might be a main character soon... beware Koko I must say Koko is a very good driver because the rest of them managed to fall asleep (which means Koko drove the car very carefully and calm) but... ah!! I almost shout when they got the accident... It won't be funny if all of them got amnesia judging from the preview, it seems everyone is safe... thanks god although I feel sad for Koko... She must be feeling guilty... *patting her head* thanks god I have trait for never fall asleep during driving... hahaha... |

You're trying way too hard. She only flashed it because Mitsuo asked her whether to drive. And what's a better proof than to show your license? Besides, it is pretty natural to carry a license with you even if you don't have a car. I for example have mine in my purse at all time despite not having a car. Or people have their health insurance card with them even though they are not going to see a doctor. Another point, why are you naturally assuming that she just got that license for the trip? She could have had that license for a year now or so. I don't understand why you think everything Kouko does is only to impress Banri and be a "perfect girlfriend". Once again, she was acting pretty natural there and why is it necessary to look at Banri? Well, if she did want to impress him specifically she of course would have tried to focus him on that. That's what she did every single time she tried to impress him. Not here. Along the line of your reasoning you could even make the case that she was trying to show Banri her swimsuit figure when she said she had to go to the toilet.

she's changing. she's developing. she's not just that clingy overly-attached insecure girlfriend. she can do an array of things and one of them is driving, to the surprise of everyone. isn't volunteering for the job already making an impression? assuring everyone that she's ok, drive really safely, and not to worry. isn't that not making an impression already? so what was it? and that is infront of everyone and not solely for banri. is that bad? how come? and take my previous posts, positive impression. is that bad? and i'm asking if that thing is not possible? you seemed to be totally convinced that she lacked this natural human quality and acting solely on an immaculate angelic quality of pure concern on 2d-kun. you said she can drive because she can. so why not make a strong impression of your strong points than those you don't have? checkov's gun. you bring it there because you are going to use it. sure, she might have that for a year or so, but why bring it out if you don't plan using it? and i never said that she got that license just for that trip. nor never made such assumptions. if she's carrying it that long, then she's really bound to use it one time. and now the time comes since 2d-kun is tired. or not? natural or not, doesn't matter. what makes the difference between cooking and driving is that the former she's tricking banri. now she's confident. there's a reason for her to believe in herself and in her skills. driving doesn't rest on her maid just like before but on herself.

I feel bad for Kouko. She's gonna be scarred for life. It's gonna stick with her every time she buckles up and decides to drive.
I know what she's thinking, "Their lives where in her hands and I almost got them killed." It seems Ghost Banri realized his mistake for cursing himself and decides to run through Current Banri's new memories where he finds his first meeting with Past Linda. From the way he reacted to this conversation with Past Linda, it looked like it was his first time seeing it take place. In a symbolic way, her words "opened" his eyes and stopped the brakes on not only the car, but this curse. He feels regret for his action and will try to atone if he can. I have a feeling Ghost Banri will be around for the next episode in full possession mode. He will be the one to comfort Kouko in her time of need since he feels guilty for putting them in this situation. I wouldn't be surprise if he started to get attracted to Kouko since he ran though Current Banri's memories. It's different being an observer who sits in the sidelines compared to someone who experiences playing time on the field. In other words, he's gonna be overwhelmed with every emotion that Current Banri feels for not only Kouko, but his friends and it's gonna freak him out, in a good way. Now it goes both ways: Current Banri learned part of his past from the sideliner while Old Banri is experienced Current Banri's new life on field. This is all in theory, but I hope there's some nugget of truth.

motivation is important because motives drive us to do things. 2d-kun is in no position to go further. but is she any better? probably at that instant. but surely she knows also her limits. they've engaged in a similar activity. being a good driver is not only about the skills to operate the vehicle, make sharp turns at the slope, or maintain the line even when dozing off. people in this forum already have nothing but praises for her regarding this. but it's also about making sound and timely decisions, having the right state of mind and full control of your faculties always. being attentive and alert as long as you're behind the wheel. people could die. that's why licenses are not issued to 5 year old kids. there's a certain age when you could legally obtain one. and of course, mentally and physically fit. if she was only helping 2d-kun what drives her to push past her limits? is 2d-kun that important to her to give such great effort? are they in a life-or-death situation that she's forced nothing but to drive? or is it really too foreign for her to go beyond what she can actually do? doesn't her behavior show this? no hints? like pass off the cooking of her maid as hers? or having the necessary stamina to drive that entire length of the trip? parallelism? or not? now kouko doing that just for the sake of helping. nothing more. i don't deny that. a possibility. but it's also possible that there's more of it? it may not be about positive impressions but could be others too.

The amazing thing is how easy it is to fall asleep on an easy route. Whereas when I had a 350 miles drive a few months ago through unfamiliar territory I never even came close to falling asleep despite a 12-hour duration.
Anyways, Koko should have pulled to the side of the road when she sensed she was getting sleepy. But it's also true that young drivers have very poor judgement about these things and cause a disproportionate amount of fatal auto accidents. I wonder if sleepy drivers cause more fatalities than drunks. |

Wait, I want this to be cleared. Koko wants to pee right? So Banri changed to his swimwear to encourage Koko to be in her swimsuit for what? Pee in the rain?!^^
That was so embarrassing! LOLS. Also, I was so concern about what will happen to them when Koko fell asleep, but thanks for the preview though, I got my breath back. And another thing, am I wrong to say that it seemed that Ghost Banri is accepting now the fact that Banri loves Koko just to prevent this incident from happening? |

Besides on a 12 hour trip, I'm sure you stopped several times, Kouko didn't think of doozing of a little in a gas station and then continue, so there's that. |

Good episode! Glad they made the most out of the trip even with the rain and traffic.
I'm interested in which Banri woke up and stepped on the brake. Was it ghost Banri or the current Banri. I personally think it's ghost Banri because he knew what to do as soon as he regained consciousness.

I'm actually quite interested in getting to see more of what Kouko's home and family life is like, and potentially seeing how it made her into the person she is today.
I'm also a little excited for the chance to meet her mother. Kouko had to get her looks from someone after all, and I doubt it was her dad .
