Kotoko finds out where Irie is working over spring break and heads over to spend some time with him.
Impressions:
I’m really curious as to what’s going on with Yuuki. Kotoko said after she woke up that she had a sensation on her lips. They showed Yuuki around there, so I’m wondering if he kissed her in her sleep or something. It would be interesting to see if he is starting to have feelings for her. Obviously he will continue to hide them and act like he hates her, but I don’t see many other explanations for the lip sensation and him being next to her.
I was a bit surprised with the end of this episode. Not so much about the heart attack that Irie’s dad had, although that was surprising and I’m sure it may affect things to come, but I’m also surprised at the general argument they were having about him changing to medical. They hadn’t really mentioned before that he was supposed to succeed his dad’s company. It obviously is a big enough issue to cause a heart attack so I’m curious as to what the general topic of him not doing that will be.
The next episode seems like it’ll be interesting. It seems like it’s a bit odd though, for him to be having an arranged marriage interview when his mother obviously favors him being with Kotoko and his family in general doesn’t seem like the type that would follow that kind of practice. It will be interesting to see why they are doing all of this but I’m sure nothing will end up coming from it so at most it will move the development of some other things along. It does seem like Kotoko and Masumoto work together to kind of stop it and see what’s going on, so that could at least mean it will be fun to watch.

Maybe Irie’s role as successor to his dad’s company was never raised because it never really mattered until he actually came up with something he wanted to do? Or maybe it’s bad writing, but I don’t like to rush to judgement . . .
Well seems clear why the father was so determined to have Irie go to the big schools, etc. Probably expected his son to take over the company and never worried about what Irie might want to do with his life. Might have helped in regards to Irie not having anything in mind for himself. Did go into the business area in college so probably was just going along with the flow. Then Kotoko made a big impact along with what happened to Yuuki. So Irie decides on a path for his life.
Makes sense why Irie didn’t want to have his parents find out about switching to medical until he pulled it off. The father probably had issues with Irie’s behaviour before but this just made him go overboard and have a heart attack.
Maybe the marriage interview is related to the attack? The head of the household almost died and they are trying to get some future security? Of course we don’t expect anything long term to come from this. But should create an interesting situation for Kotoko and Irie.
In terms of the future the father may have to turn to Yuuki in regards to taking over the company. He’s a pretty sharp kid and could probably handle it. Anyways I think Yuuki saw his brother kiss Kotoko while she was sleeping. Obviously the guy can’t show those kinds of feelings when she is awake without it having a teasing purpose. Possible that Yuuki did something, but I’m just not sure about him kissing Kotoko.
