Call me looney, but IMO that scar in Kobeni's back looks like a typical anime claw mark. That would mean that some other member of the clan wanted to eat Kobeni (one way or the other, maybe both), Kobeni falls from a cliff due to the dizziness generated due to loss of blood from the wound. Hakuya becomes her cushion for the fall. Whoever attacked loses interest and leaves them. Hakuya licks her wound and closes it, then returns to his house to look for help.

I have no read whatever manga/LN this was originally from, so I could be off the mark (but don't hit me if I am right or almost right).

Too much fanfiction power in that theory. :P

Random Wanderer · 2014-01-30, 22:03

It is entirely possible to get scars of all sorts from falling off a cliff, whether from rocks or a perfectly ordinary tree or any number of things. You kids are the ones being weird.

Well to be fair I burn toast too, but it's intentional since I prefer it that way

.

I suppose things do balance out for Benio though. For all her school successes she's a disaster at home.

This episode was loaded on with dog metaphor, it was pretty funny. As usual this anime still hits its stride with comedy and drama transitioning without the awkward flow. Not only are the main family characters endearing but I find school casts equally good, especially Nadeshiko with her straight-man manner. I would like them to have more airtime.

This show is just hinting so much that I wonder if they are actually red herrings.

I hope they're not red herrings. If the show was scheduled for more than 1 cour, I wouldn't mind red herrings at the beginning. But with only 1 cour, I want to have some answer by the end of the show because the mystery intrigues me most of all. I don't care if Kobeni doesn't learn the answer. But I do hope that we learn the answer.

felix · 2014-01-31, 09:59

With LKK on this, if it turns out to be red herrings my opinion of the show would fall pretty low.

Blanchimont · 2014-01-31, 12:33

Was the title itself hinting at something, or was it just a matter of translation choice?; "Engaged to the Unidentified"

Random Wanderer · 2014-01-31, 12:48

Given the alien references in both OP and ED, Mashiro's bit with them a couple of episodes ago, and all the stuff recently, I've been suspecting for some time that the title is deliberate.

Sakuratsuki · 2014-01-31, 12:49

i Personally think he is some kind of dog/werewolf (inugami)?

The words of Kobeni: 'I felt something fluffy next to me'

Spoiler for Kobeni:

Another wild posibility, the Mitsumine family are like the Shiki from Shiki, that would explain a lot of things, one quick smoochie in the neck of the school director by our loli and tadaah, who cares about age or grades, want todays 1st term to be autostudy, no problem! I do not mean to say she has necked the whole school, students they would assume that if the teachers say it is ok, the Mashiro can be in a grade that obviously is too early for her. Teachers too, if the director say it is ok, then why argue (having a cute loli is a plus anyway).

I feel that in order for the rest of the show to deliver, they have to reveal the main mystery early on but not reveal all of it. Keeping in mind this is a slice of life show with emphasis on main characters and not minor characters. I think they sometimes they drag the jokes for the main characters too long and it grows kinda stale. But when Mayura came into, the interaction the jokes felt fresh and interesting. Also the settings are quite plain and reused. With more variety, this show could turn into a good slice of life.

AmeNoJaku · 2014-02-02, 22:18

I bet he is a dog spirit, minus the traditional ritual, which is much more mortifying then described in the article.

Spoiler for Episode 5:

SeaDoor · 2014-02-05, 16:41

At the start, I thought that Isumi from Hayate No Gotoku had wandered into this series. Mashiro's mother both looked and acted a lot like her!

Flower · 2014-02-05, 17:03

Whoa ... just ... whoa.

Umm ... well, I had figured that Hakuya was what he was shown to be in this ep, but I had not idea that the new chara, who indeed happens to be the lady in the kimono, would be Mashiro's mother and could do that!

Definitely a surprise (sorry, trying not to spoil people ahead of time here). Also, I also was reminded a little bit of Isumi from HnG, but this lady has her head screwed on her shoulders tighter - possibly because of age.

Though I gotta say that Mashiro in the cat's pajamas was adorable.

Here, a little treat for you all:
