Its actually kinda weird that i dont mind him sleeping with both girls...gotta hand it to him for displaying an "innocent" and honorable personality ^^

now where is mawari when you need her

[Kaioshin Sama]

I've only watched one episode, but the style of the ending reminds me of Gundam X's, with the preview as part of the ending. Although it doesn't quite invoke the same feeling in me. I think I'll be following this show at least for a little while longer.

or the "morals of the bed, between two unmarried people"

That isn't necessarily a bad thing though.

[FlareKnight]

Well sleep deprivation might lead him to put some more girls (I won't say innocent since I can't imagine many of them are) into arm locks. .

Shungo is a pretty good guy so he wouldn't intentionally do anything. Though we've already seen his resistance in that bed get pushed. Well I guess tossing in another girl could make it an interesting night.

On a side note Mawari probably would handle that situation quickly. Grab the whistle and go .

I don't know. If anything, i think Reika would get a sleepless night from lying next to him So far his reactions towards anyone besides our local moeblob have been zero. I don't think it is going to be much different with Reika. One reason he is attracted to Mayu might be her succubus power, but i am willing to bet it has to do with their childhood as well. We know there is a promise, and it is not hard to imagine what that would be. So while the hamster in his brain has yet to catch on, he might be subconsciously drawn to her because she is the girl from his childhood. (Heck, i am willing to bet the promise they made back then is where his strong views on relationships and such come from )

Well, yeah -- I think we can definitely put two-and-two together on this one. Combine the childhood promise, the kiss scene from the OP, her dream (of being with the one she loves for the rest of her life), and his attitude about relationships (his blushing when she shared her dream was telling)... As you said, I think it's safe to suspect that...

Spoiler for speculation:

...Mayu and Shungo promised to marry each other when they grew up.

[Aoie_Emesai]

It's more interesting to have himself become more modest and considerate, rather than the cliche must droll over girl version of it ^_^

[Vexx]

If ya'll are paying attention, its also clear there's some childhood connection between Reika and Shungo as well that the baka doesn't remember. She's got that little trinket and keeps making with the unfinished sentences.

[Calawain]

Then she'll ask us if she needs to teach us the rules of society....

Very true, the part where Shungo's childhood was defending her by those kids.

I wonder, if the necklace that was on his hand is a clue or something like that?

[aroduc]

Eppie 3 was the first episode that I really enjoyed. A lot of that has to do with...

Spoiler:

Also, it got its ED finally, and it's a rather nice one.

Oh wow - for some reason I had gotten it in my head that the whole show was switching to Fridays (Saturday mornings) permanently on TVQ. But this makes more sense. I'm looking forward to giving it a look for myself.

And yeah, that ED is... haha, well, it's definitely on the silly side, but it works. Dances are so in! (as if we couldn't already tell ) Art looks a bit more crisp and defined than normal episode content, and the animation seems a bit smoother -- all good things. The look on Mayu's face as she jumped on Shungo at the end was just too cute.

There is that indeed - quite possible those kids tried to take that pendant away from her (got to wonder if it wasn't because of her being a spoiled rich brat )back then, but Shungo to the rescue. I believe most of us are aware of this, but the reason it is not being mentioned probably has to do with the moeblob being a much more likable appearance (and the fact this was, probably, the only brief encounter they shared, opposite to what was going on with Mayu, so nothing much to talk about )

[kevin13]

This weird fanservicy thing. I hate being teased. I'll keep at it though for a bit, see if the story goes anywhere.

I totally agree hes not getting a good night sleep for a long time. Again i feel bad yet in some way so jealous of him. Coming home everyday from school should prove to be quite exciting.

[Vexx]

Hmmm, silly little ED --- but there's a fair amount of going 'off-model' in it and just some anatomical problems. The concept is silly funny sexy though.
Moe-blob seems to have the most trouble with being drawn inconsistently.

[Dr1ft3r]

anyone know how many episodes there are?

[Deathkillz]

I found the end to be quite defined service yea but not one which it too over the top - and i like the nice touch they did by lip syncing mayu and reika to the song. very funky ^^

ep 3 - I think if anyone wondered why we dont get male fanservice this must be the main reason

Spoiler:

Yep a fun little ep but quite enjoyable nontheless. Seeing right from the start, reika's waking face was just a dream...i swear her morning hair is way cuter than normal but her hair twirling method is just too much to resist

A pretty nice girl x girl bonding ep with mayu and hinako. see! she isnt all bad - but with that said we can pretty much rule her off as being a strong rival towards the other two, she will probably be in there as a supportive, comedy character. Funny thing is i expected her to be more competitive and more "ruthless" towards mayu...but i guess she realised that she wasnt any match for such a moeblob ^^

other interesting and more serious side to this ep was the flashback at the start. chibi reika and chibi ninomiya kissing in a room together with the orange scene in the backdrop was just...beautiful to watch. I really got into the mood there seeing pure "fancy" from both characters. Isnt it just great to be a child and innocent. the kiss might have had less meaning for both of them at the time but certainly reika is action upon those basic feelings from the past...quite beautiful

Well she tries to stop ninomiya from following mayu but i guess not even horny gay and very perverted men can stop this guy from being a bodyguard - or rather it was mayu's brother giving him the reason to try so hard
i think it is quite significant that he doesnt give up on mayu much to reika's annoyance but she should get the message after this...or not and try again

random fun bits...

the first part where ninomya and mayu were on the bed made me lawl...and i did think she was confessing to him but then baka onee shan had to show up and say "CUT!!" - reika getting annoyed was goddam fun to watch though XD

Mayu's scream when she was getting harassed by those perverts was just...moe...worthy of being the moeblob for this season (and i think she could surpass mikuru if this continues )

mayu loves manga...especially those of yaoi kind
