What the hell? It was a perfect episode till Kai 'confessed' his feelings to Yamamoto about Mei. This feels so cheap, like Kai was built in to make things more complicated for the sake of making them more complicated. Megu's intervention felt more natural to me, why does Kai's appearance feel so abrupt? That guy irritates me quite a bit. I guess he is supposed to... oh well.
100% picking up this manga, Mei becomes cuter and cuter. For now this is my shoujo runner out of the 3 this season. Not sure if or when I pick up Kaibutsu / Kami-sama as a manga but not many shows can make me grab my chest and give in to those scenes full of raburabu. Speaking of which, I'm sure it would do Mei and Yamamoto good if they tried to be more carefree with each other. A bit like Mitty x Haru from Kaibutsu... wouldn't hurt. Or maybe it's just me but there don't seem to be too many moments where Mei relaxes when she's with Yamamoto.

I actually want to see Yamato get jealous and despair a little because I think he's getting things a bit too easy so far, especially after his thoughtlessness in the last scene with Megu.

[rant begins]And I get quite upset when I see all the little tossed off criticisms of shoujo from so many people. For me, shoujo is the most interesting of all genres of manga, often giving much more emotional detail and depth than other kinds of mangas. To me, the way people seem so satisfied to complain about shoujo manga and anime feels like a hidden kind of misogynism, and I don't like it. If we want to talk shallow, stupid, and unrealistic, how about standard shounen manga and anime?[/end rant] Sorry to go off on you, Malkuth, when you were just complaining about drawing style. But you stood in the path of the rant, lol.

On the rant, I agree that shounen manga are 99% utter trash, both artistically and strory-wise. Though, to shoujo, I prefer seinen/josei, and even most (but not all) hentai manage to have more emotion and impact, as long as the reader pays attention to the story and dialogue Back on topic, I wish Mei cheats her "boyfriend" with Kai, but I know very well that this isn't happening |

Regardless of genre, there will be good stories/artstyle as well as bad ones. Try being a little more open-minded, and you might not attract so much hate/insults from others. |

I actually skipped a few minutes of episode 10 because I couldn't stand the bitch act by Megumi. Thinking about it more deeply, I have to feel sorry for her, because the friends that she has at present are not really bound by friendship. She has to use all kinds of tricks just to get people to hang out with her. A bit pathetic if you ask me.
I really like the fact that the misunderstanding in this episode is cleared up fast. This is one of the points that I really like about this anime. The misunderstanding does not drag on for episodes. It doesn't make me go all "oh you dumb brats, just communicate with each other already!" All the "masks" used by Megumi to conceal her feelings and to retain her image of cheerful, friendly and kind girl will burn her out sooner or later. It is difficult for anyone to survive that long by pretending to be someone else you are not. Something within her is bound to crack if she keeps up this act.

If I have to talk about the episode itself my opinion is that I really liked it, but I have some conflicted feelings in terms of the changes made from the manga (nothing surprising).
But that's because I don't like the way they handled Kai, especially in terms of his friendship with Yamato and his moments with Mei, I was disappointed that this cute scene was left out: Spoiler:
Then Megu, it's quite obvious that they're going to rush everything about her, she is more bitchy and persistent in the manga but it would take too many episodes to conclude her story. I know I rant a bit in every episode but I can't say that I hate the adaptation, on the contrary I like it Props to the anime team for that conflict between Yamato and Kai and their seiyuus, I enjoyed their performance.

Wow, I was practically screaming in frustration with most of the episode, but when Yamato confronted Kai, it was sooooooo much better than the crap I was dreading. That was one incredible pay off.

Kai certainly adapted to school life in a new school rather quickly.
Megumi really likes to stir up trouble for Mei. She's really hell bent over messing up Yamato-Mei relationship. Looks like she's jealous of Mei. On the other hand Kai is slowly putting himself into Mei's life. So it finally happened.. Kai giving Yamato a piece of his mind.

In other news, every so often Kayano Ai's voice here just gives me chills. Sakurai Takahiro's wonderful voice sometimes slips into annoying super-smarm, but of course he can be great, too. As for Megu, she is so scary and annoying, but you can see the emptiness and desperation behind it. And I think Aiko is seeing something, too. I wonder what she will do about Megu.
