(CR) Tonikaku Kawaii (Fly Me to The Moon)

[AC-Phoenix]

So remind me... Why did she think they'd have a fight over Nasa leaving his wallet in the bus? To be honest, she looked more bothered by Nasa sleeping on her shoulder than that.
Also I stick with my suspicion that she might be a vampire - or at least some form of a yokai.

[Anh_Minh]

It does seem like she's been 16 for a long, long time...

So, what he know about Tsukasa (other than her being tonikaku kawai):
-she seems to be associated with the Moon in some ways ;
-she seems to have superhuman physical abilities, since she received only minor damage after being hit by a truck;
-at the same time, she doesn't seem to be invulnerable, given she was seen covered in blood after the incident (though the blood might have actually came from Nasa);
-she is hinted to be alive for centuries;
-she is hinted to not have physically aged in the recent past;
-the way Chitose speaks about her seems to imply she might have (or had in the past) a high status, though it may simply be that Vhitose idolized her too much.
Personally I still don't have an answer, I can't even exclude that the author is playing with us and the truth is more mundane than we might think.

She can also put on a kimono without help, which is apparently a lost art in Japan for anyone who wasn't alive in the 60's.

She also doesn't seem to wear a bra at all, since this is the second time she's taken her top off and has seemingly not been wearing one (we know she goes no bra at night). Could just be a personal choice or could be that she lived before bra's were invented and just isn't used to wearing them .

My guess is that she is the moon princess. She might be a decedent of Kaguya.

Despite how slow the two of them seem to be once it comes to the more physical aspect of their relationship, it feels like she's been married before, yeah.

To me it seems like marriage leads to some kind of sacrifice on her part. One of the reasons I felt she is kind of vampire was that marriage is kind of permanent invitation to visit one home, but now it seems less probable. (Not necessarily permission to visit, just general marriage-as-contract-that-enables-you-to-do-something idea seems less likely to me)
On unrelated note, she disappears and appears years later. Hibernation?

I think she simply waited for Nasa to become 18, Chitose would have probably mentioned if she spent years in hibernation or sleeping. Though to be fair Chitose often tries to mention things related to Tsukasa only to be interrupted...

Chitose described her as someone who will disappear as soon as you look away - same way as Nasa on whom she did disappear. Strong feeling she was unavailable at least for some time for Chitose too.

We get more curious about tsukasa with those tiny hints in each chapter, I like the theory of her being a decendent of kaguya since she seems to be relate to the moon too.

I was sure that blond tsundere would start crushing on nasa, maybe is too soon.

They added the parents to the Opening! That's neat .

Nasa's parents are certainly...Nasa's parents. They seem like the kind of ditzy, space-cases, that would saddle him with that kind of name and raise the kind of kid he end up being. And be utterly entertaining and hilarious because of it .

The perks of in-laws is learning embarrassing stories about your spouse that they probably wouldn't want to tell you, although I guess Nasa got payback by throwing Tsukasa's previous disinterest in history back at her while she was bonding with his dad .

The couple finally sleep on the same level and get some cuddling action in! And of course Tsukasa ends up grabbing him in her sleep .

I love how the parents are worried about hearing the newlywed couple do this and that and all they end up hearing is a goodnight kiss .

Nasa thought about staying the gentlemen, but couldn't resist sneaking a peek at his wife naked. Did he see her entire bare backside before she got that top on and he turned his head? Lucky devil, if he did .

Tsukasa finds a reason to care about historical sites if it means she can take funny and memorable pictures of her hubby! That's probably payback for all the pictures he took of her .

So what did we learn about Tsukasa in this episode? She seems to know the geography of Nara well, enough to recognize it after a 1,000 years, and can casually read ancient Japanese writing. She also talks about life back then in ancient Japan as if she had lived through it. She also hasn't read up on history so much as seemingly lived through it and etched it into memory .

Nasa said he'd be okay even if their apartment got set on fire...only for their apartment to actually get set on fire. Well, I guess now they really need to move .

[grecefar]

this has been the best chapter so far, now we know that tsuaka is at least 1000 years old and has a great memory, a lot of fluffy moments and a touching bond with nasa-kun father. (I would've liked if the mother bond with her too.)

I notice the hayate cameo at the end lol.

Wonder if we'll get more Hayate cameos down the line.

[Anh_Minh]

Wow, that kid can't catch a break.

[FlareKnight]

Honestly, I really enjoyed Nasa's parents here. An awkward pair, but honestly better than Nasa was selling them as. Good on them for the first thing just being a true sense of gratitude. Tsukasa is true enough a reason he ended up walking into traffic, but she is absolutely the reason he's still alive.

At this point there's no doubt she's a fairly supernatural entity. Be it a descendant of Kaguya or just literally Kaguya herself. At the very least she's got quite the history to her and has been around for quite some time.

Honestly, I can't quite relate to Nasa's minimalist lifestyle. True enough that he's fairly well set for a disaster like the apartment burning down. Only has so much to lose. But...I tend to like having things. Be it physical copies of games and movies to other things. Less easily replaced to be sure, but...I'll enjoy what I've got and hope there isn't a disaster.

But back to home for these two...or finding a new one.

[Lex79]

I'm quite the opposite to Nasa, my house is literally packed with things...games, books, figures...should something happen like a fire or a quake I'm going to lose so much that just the thought makes me shiver. I too thought about putting a drive with my passwords in a safe, though, but the need to change them every so often always stopped me.
Anyway, Nasa's parents are weird but are definitely good people, a stark contrast with Tsukasa's annoying stepsister.

[Wandering Soul]

Yeah, I can't really see myself getting into minimalism the way Nasa does.

[Nachtwandler]

Am I the only one who likes Nasa's vision here?

[Anh_Minh]

I like it too, but I don't think I could emulate it.

[Frontier]

It makes for a nice contrast with Tsukasa who seems kind of like an Otaku .
