[center]Once again I bring you on this forum my review of this second episode of this anime series.[size=7]One thing I found out is that the whole series is based off a eroge game.[/size]
On to the review!
So the episode starts out from it left off last week. Yuki finished talking with Touya on the phone as Rina Ogata appeared. Surprisingly Rina was ready to phone right away Touya and meet him but seems Yuki had to go according to her manager Shinozuka. Finally the mystery person behind the door.[b]Haruka![/b] She came to see Touya!? O_O OMG that means something is going on for sure between them!
Seems that Shinozuka is having problems in her personal life by being scolded of lateness. Seems that after Touya closes the door in Harukas' face she still stays in his door way steps. Drinking something warm. [b]This means simply that she is dedicated to talk to Touya[/b] about helping him and him helping her. Haruka was sure cute when she pointed how beautiful the stars are! [b] I also find that Touya running after her while she is biking is good for Touya since it creates more opportunities for him to stay in shape[/b]. A definite good way to stay in shape.[i]Boxers get to have this every morning by their coach.[/i] Also Haruka looks to be fit herself.
There is a brief switch to Yuki getting inside the manor of Eiji Ogata O_O WTF, [b](I mean why? What reason exactly?)[/b] with Shinozuka. It switches back to Touya and Haruka. So cute to see Haruka give some chocolate to Touya and [b]that my dear friends may be interpreted as a first sign of love that is obvious[/b]. Think EVERYONE of Saint-Valentines holiday. It was interesting to notice that Haruka is wishing well Yuki x Touya when she herself likes him [b]once the second clue that is less obvious is the sudden art insert (refer to the pics below with the proper description)[/b]. So CUTE when Haruka jumps upon Touya back to back. It was very nice to see them like this although Touya has Haruka currently [b]at the very least it shows that he has the choice of chasing Yuki or being convinced by other girls such as Misaki/Haruka to be with them.[/b]
Switches back to the home of the Ogata family with Rina coming in disguises but still being noticed by Shinozuka. Rina was pretty upset that :5921f236: the taxi driver discovered her identity suddenly and was bugging her about her new album. The surprise was more when Rina joined Yuki in her brother's room which made me assume that something bad happened since at first Yuki was crying a lot. Though the piece of :damn: did something to her but was relieved it was quite the contrary! Apparently Eiji gave her a great role in his music composition. Too bad they do not explain more than that since it switches back to Touya with Haruka in the park. It wsa pretty funny to see Haruka suddenly get up and Touya falls down! Hahahah!
Once again [b]switches to[/b] Touya in his workplace with Akira suddenly showing up for some house coffee. Known as the blend being produced within the housing or restaurants' specialty type of coffee blend. I do like the white cheese cakes more although it does tend to make you a little fat depending on how many you eat a week. I tend to like the Sunday once a week type. So we learn that Akina used to sneak into the cooking classes of the girls just to steal the recipe. Well, that certainly clarifies certain things about him. To impress someone he is willing to steal other's secrets. Interesting to see how dirty he might play it out later for something he has to do absolutely such as his love for Mizuki.
I it is interesting to point out that Yuki still remembers the taste of that cheese cake yet seems to be more concentrated on her work. Most likely it may mean that Yuki has yet good old times to catch up to but her memories seem to be thee instant that reminds her of the good times when she was not working as much and spent time with her friends more. It was funny when Yuki and Touya both pointed to Rina being the special Goddess when she though Yuki is a Goddess to Touya. Another interesting point is Akina mentioning that Touya body is made of many caprices of women in which I assume that Akina knows Touya sees many different other girls although he has Yuki.[b]This may also in turn make me wonder why Rina got a suddenly by asking further explanation of this[/b] because I would assume she would be more worried about Yuki with this type of behavior her man has.
What really made me :damn::damn::damn: was what followed but it has to be analyzed in a psychological manner:[b] first of all when Yuki's manager Shinozuka came to pick Yuki up she said it was time to leave and offered Rina to driver her there but Rina says that her destination is in a different direction and declines.[/b] That is where when Yuki leaves Rina grabs her sleeve and asks her if that is ok like that? Assuming from the hidden meaning was intuition is good at:[i]Rina may mean: is it ok to leave me alone with your boyfriend?[/i] Yuki like a stupid :damn::damn::damn: girl says ok I trust you. This where Rina seizes the opportunity to get to know him better.
They start talking about Robert Browning and about Eiji. Touya wanted to know more about Eiji and what he thinks about Robert Browning. From the reaction of them it seems they had a good laugh.[b]To me however it means they get along pretty fast.[/b] As if that was not enough Akina also laughs with them so it may mean he is either blind to what is going on or just trying to meld in.
The big give away is when Rina actually gives to Touya a note that asks his phone number. BIG BIG hint! Of course like many suckers guys as we may be, he gives the phone number since Touya may think that it could be a good chance to either know more Eiji or get closer to Yuki's workplace in order to spend more time with her. Either way the face expression of Touya upon seeing Eiji enter his workplace at the same time as giving to Rina his phone number was just too :lols::lols::lols: seriously!
At this part [b]THIRD big hint! The reaction of Rina when leaving towards Touya![/b] That pleasant look means to me two things: [b]for one Rina is pleased with the perspectives of Touya[/b] and [i]for two she is rather excited to have known him more as well being able to call him sine he gave her his phone number.[/i]
Pretty much after this the manager of Rina comes but he gets lied to that Rina did not come by. Well Rina's manager sure looked dead tired about to collapse to over sweating. :onion16: Someone feel his stress?
Certainly Touya phone conversation with Mizuki afterwards and the way he was talking to Mizuki since she was sick already on the phone seemed yet to me that he cares for her also.[b]This will most likely be a who to be with on the part of Touya[/b] in this anime. I am pretty sure there may be a time for Touya to decide which girl he will be serious about. The phone conversation went nowhere sine Touya wanted to mention the cake yet it was more about the book Mizuki lent him.
It follows that was I mostly :freez::freez: surprised by the fact that Yuki already has her own place which I am sure it paid by her agency as well as the manager assigned to her. When Touya enters his place it is obvious that the phone he gets would be from Yuki since she just got to her place. BUT :omgnooo::omgnooo::omgnooo: Rina calls him and why the hell would they mention that it was what he was waiting for? Could it be that Touya understood that Yuki may not care for him and Rina does more? I wonder where this is going to go?
