The obsession of Misao by Souichi was almost strange, but an interesting and probably very truthful occurrence. A very different choice for a storyline, but nevertheless I liked how the attention was moved away from Yuka and Toshihiko for once, as most of the other characters have received little development. I truly liked this approach because it makes the series more dimensional. I see a running occurrence with sexuality…
I can barely believe that another person of the dojo fell in love with a shoujinki. It seems like the flesh eaters are very seductive or there happens to be more and more of them appearing, creating mere coincidences. Will it happen again? It seems that at this rate it is bound to happen.
I was absolutely surprised at the ending! It really made the episode for me because it was not what I was expecting at all. However if what did occur was what I was expecting it wouldn’t have been as interesting. Misao, who supposedly loved Umeda, could not resist her urges. This makes me feel more admiration towards Yuka, who is actually trying with all her might to be with Toshihiko, and suppresses her urges as much as she can. Where does Yuka garner all of her strength from?
Kazuma is a very ambitious man, I feel because of his shortcomings to be the “favorite” son. However I do not denounce what he is doing to the dojo, as it does seem necessary for the continuing appearance of the shoujinki. I am not sure how it will last as he is trying to shed all of the traditions that have worked for years.
I am sure the octopus Kazuma ate at the end will make something terrible happen to him….I have my predictions. Ooba is plotting something.
Who was the man at the beginning? The future of the shoujinki at old age?
Final Score: 8.5/10
