Uh...technically, triangles and squares are already polygons. ^_^

I consider it went it a harem when it goes from square to pentagon. As we are still at the square then it's not a harem

Spoiler for harem sorta:

but when the Pheles appears then it would be a harem. And her being the most proactive of all. As we know Shana won't say anything unless it's a life or death situation. Even though she has opened more but not as much as Yoshida. Or even doinf as much as Konoe. Konoe grabed his shirt.

True, perhaps i didn't phrase it right, I meant until the amount of girls after Yuji reaches the stage there there is no other specific name, such as square octagon decagon ect. To a point where the only name would be polygon then i'll consider it a harem! Weird definition i know lol.

One thing interest me about Konoe is her right hand bangle. Dunno why but it simply made me interested.

Spoiler for ep3:

I still can't believe she's human since after they proved she bled, we got a scene with the bal Masque saying things are going to plan or something... That scene had to be put there to indicate something more with Konoe.

Well it could be possible they turned her into a human or something close to one, to give her the oppertunity to get close to Yuji. If this was the case when Bal Masque made their move it would be harder for Yuji to fight back given that he has developed a relationship with Konoe (Even if its not romantic). Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

Think about her reaction is season 1 when she was syncronizing or whatever with Yuji. She was experiencing real feelings for the first time it was almost like being ecstasy for her. However this plan could back fire if she actually develops human like emotions.

Maybe you're right sinestra.. Another indication that Konoe might be Hecate, is that we don't see any signs of the "real" Hecate after Konoe appears in Yuji's school.. Makes me wonder..

[rozenfreak123]

Yeah, that might be true because in episode 2 after Hecate was "praying" her eyes had a gleam like she was in love or something and a little later Konoe appears in Yuji's class as a transfer student. Also the Denizen/Tomogara was a complete dumbass, overconfident, and didn't use any Rinne though I'm not surprised he was killed so easily.

Hecate never struck me as a particularly dangerous or evil character when on her own.

Ummm... Hecate is pretty much a bottomless well of power, IIRC. It doesn't matter that she doesn't think for herself, the fact that she could have access to so much power makes her dangerous. That's like saying a nuclear bomb isn't dangerous just because it can't detonate itself.

On this episode... that wasn't bad. It's kinda hard to compare this series so far with the previous, because the first one ebbed and flowed so much, but this hasn't been too bad so far, IMO. There's been enough atmosphere and curve balls and mystery to distract from the monster of the week battles, which have fortunately been relegated to a lesser role in the series. And, like most people, I'm almost certain that Konoe = Hecate. It just wouldn't make sense otherwise. Still, Yuuji's harem expands...

This is good stuff. I don't mind what I've seen from this series so far. It's not brilliant, but it is enjoyable to date.

Yep i thought that as well. I have been brooding on this for days and im 95% sure that Konoe is Hecate. This is a random theory but....I think Konoe interest or conncetion with Yuji is after effect from season I. As stated above Hectate is bottomless pit of power and Yuji's power is growing day by day with his training. I wouldnt be surprised if Konoe thought that Yuji is somewhat like her and he should join her or some of Yuji's feeling leaked into her and now shes smitten its like a drug.
