Review:
I think the drama is amping up in this series. I will admit it might
not be what we expect of either Sakisaka or this series—but I'm
still enjoying it.
Futaba is still having a hard time with Kou, and that Kou has kind of
chosen Yui. But Futaba doesn't think that Yui is good for Kou, and
that she's dragging him down. I did appreciate this sentiment, but I
also didn't think her decision on how to confront this was a good
idea. There was no way it was going to turn out any other way.
It's really too bad for Kikuchi, honestly. He's a good guy, and he
likes Futaba a lot. But Futaba's too stuck on Kou to see anyone else.
I like that we got to see Kikuchi's friends more here, and how
Futaba's friends interacted with them. There's some potential there.
These series definitely don't beat around the bush. Futaba doesn't
keep her feelings hidden for long. And so of course Shuko finally
confronts her feelings for Tanaka, especially after she gets a
reality check about what her feelings could do to his career.
I'm hopeful about where this is going, but I definitely think there's
some more drama ahead.
