This week's episode had some nice hidden depths and subtle storytelling...

Spoiler for a bike, a key, and a third year:

Unless the producers want to keep losing money, none. Sales for season 1 weren't impressive at all and season2 will be even less. I'm not sure how much positive effect this has on the manga sales though. Something tells me it's not enough for another season.

Utsuro no Hako · 2012-05-06, 09:43

We're lucky the producers committed to the second cour up front. If they'd waited for reactions before deciding on a second season we wouldn't even be getting these episodes. Just consider that there are threads in Upcoming Series that already have more posts than this thread.

A pity about the sales figure. This anime is underrated IMO, and one of the few animes that I truly enjoy watching. Sure, it doesn't have much going on, but because I could relate to some of the events in the anime, I am much more absorbed in the story than other animes.

Dop · 2012-05-07, 17:24

I think one of the things that delights me in this woefully underrated series is its subtlety, and the interplay between Yuuki and the girl from the cafeteria is developed wonderfully without being overblown and thrust in your face.

Utsuro no Hako · 2012-05-07, 17:32

No, don't go Kayo! You're the best character outside the main group. I hope she isn't gone for good and comes back at least once more this season.

Yeah, Ep6 is quite sad, but I also like it for the fact that we get to see another side of Yuki.

Next week, it's Chizuru's turn for development in the love department. Can't wait!

I find it singularly unsurprising that Yuuki reads shoujo manga.

Could you elaborate on this statement?

This was such a touching episode. The tone was just right for the bittersweet pain of unrequited first love.

Guardian Enzo · 2012-05-08, 11:23

I refer to the sequence at about 5:55, where the manga he's reading as he (as usual) ignores Yuta is briefly shown.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA · 2012-05-08, 20:30

I am wondering about the age gap between Kayo and Yuuki.

I'm guessing it's about 5 years. She likely graduated from high school, attended some sort of hair styling school to get a license, and worked for short while. I figure 5 years would cover that time period.

Yes, I have around the same estimation too.

To me, it's just so like Yuuki to fall for someone older than him. He is the type who needs ppl to guide, push and advise him. From what I have watched so far, Kayo seems to be the only one who actually "inspire" him enough to force him out of his shell (to the extent of challenging that dude from another class to a basketball match). Girls around his age, though adore him generally stay out of his way due to his rather unsociable behaviour.

I don't think "unrequited" is the word for it -- I get the feeling Kayo returns Yuki's feelings but neither of them are willing to do something about it due to the age gap.

Kind of interesting, but apparently the OP single for KimiBoku 2. is coming in two different limited editions, the normal one with the PV and then...

Spoiler for size:

The other LE contains an animated version of Tomohisa Sakou (the OP singer) and an original minidrama with him and the cast.. Really love the song compared to S1, so i'm excited to see this.

I was about to comment that Yuuki/Yuuta has more hair than usual and looks much more animated when I saw what you written below

Dop Mmmm.... Join Date: Sep 2006	This week's episode had some nice hidden depths and subtle storytelling... Spoiler for a bike, a key, and a third year: Well, OK, it was pretty damn obvious that when Chizuru put the bike key in his pocket he'd throw it in the collection box by mistake, that wasn't subtle at all! Although I would have thought maybe the people who run the temple could get it out if you asked them nicely? The rest of the storytelling was quite subtle, though, as with the bike's owner in his third year and studying hard in the hope he'll go to the same university as his girlfriend, we see a marked contrast between him and our fab five. He looks at the guys goofing around, and realises that that used to be him, only a year ago he would have been goofing around too, but now he's stressed out by study. But then Shun realises that their third year is coming up, and this time next year they could be like bike guy, studying too hard to hang out together having fun, and you can practically see his fear when he realises the coming spring could be their last spring to have fun. In a year there'll be finals, leaving school and going out into the world, they're growing up.
