Junichi and Yuuhi strengthen their bond while Minato continues to be hurt by that development.
Impressions:
You knew this was coming sooner or later. I’m surprised how quickly the relationship between Yuuhi and Jun has developed in this episode alone. Honestly thought they might fool around for a couple more episodes or never truly get them together at all. But now they have gotten a lot closer and yet are not out of trouble yet. Well Yuuhi definitely asked for a redo in terms of their first kiss. Yet Junichi kind of fell into the issue he had in the first place just kissing her out of the blue. Still that was the major step that helped them to get together. Instead of ignoring their issues they honestly started to talk about how they felt about each other. Though doing it in a pretty odd way even for them by talking about how troubled they were by these feelings. Still they reflected pretty well how tough it is when you like a person and yet have things you don’t like about them. Yuuhi at the start was quite troubled by the fact she didn’t want to be falling for a guy like Jun. And yet when it comes down to it you fall in love whether you like it or not. At least in her case it was with a pretty decent person who still has some flaws.
The major problem as expected comes down to Minato. Really a lot of this is her fault. She was the one who kept on pushing Jun and Yuuhi together like that. She should have realized she would be hurt by it when they did end up getting together. But that didn’t change the fact she has strong feelings for Jun and now is getting beat up inside as she watches him move away from her. Burning the meal is to be expected as she is losing her place as the most important person to him. But Jun also has some blame to be put in all of this. He should have realized what he felt for Minato as well and considered her feelings. The guy has constantly relied on his sister for so much ever since they were reunited. It really is a question of whether the guy can function without her. She cooks his meals and knows where everything he needs is. He really got shocked by the statement of being without Minato in his life. That kind of result is to be expected if he ends up with Yuuhi. He’ll end up moving out to where her family is and taking part in some way with that business. The question comes down to whether he can let go of Minato and settle with being with Yuuhi.
We’re hitting the climax for the end of this series. Yuuhi is going back for a while to report on the situation. She definitely won’t be fighting getting married to the guy at this stage. Yet while she is doing this there is a storm brewing at home. Junichi and Minato both have feelings for each other that can’t just be swept under the rug. Are they going to cut those feelings up and toss them aside or is something else going to happen? They are blood relatives so anything between them really can’t work out as it is. But the end of the episode showed Minato breaking in terms of being able to hold herself back. The obvious ending is JunxYuuhi and yet I don’t know how they plan to deal with Minato. She’s a kind person who has ended up hurting her own chances of happiness. Ultimate solution is marrying Yuuhi and having Minato living with them also. Can sneak good moments between them and society at large doesn’t have to know. But honestly don’t think the series will be doing anything like that.
After some laughs and some romantic moments we are getting close to the end of this series. Don’t know exactly how things will wrap up but should be a pretty good finish. Only a couple of episodes left to resolve another love triangle. Sorry to Tsukasa, Karen, etc but I don’t think they have any chance with Junichi now.

Yandere, anyone? I keep seeing a Kaede Fuyou in Minato, but that might just be me.

Well definitely something I’ve heard a few times. But I’m just not expecting Minato to turn out like that. If only because this series is far too much about comedy to go that dark. But also someone who has lived the life Minato has should have enough mental fortitude to resist from trying to kill Yuuhi. Kaede had a past that made her actions in the series somewhat expected as an outcome. Besides with her past if Minato actually tried to kill Yuuhi she’d succeed :).
Now that would be interesting — if it actually goes that way, the series would be sure to become my best this season. I’ve never liked Yuuhi, but I don’t like most tsundere girls either.
Actually they are not blood relatives. Jun’s parents adopted her, dont remember what episode mentions it but Minato tells Yuuhi this. So it is possible that they work out but im still rooting for Yuuhi! :)
Minato said she was joking after that statement. She doesn’t remember from that long ago. So it’s still really up in the air if they are blood related. Who knows, maybe it’s Jun that was adopted.
Yeah I took Minato’s comment as more wishful thinking than anything. After all if they weren’t related she wouldn’t have to keep the feelings she has inside. Instead with reality being as she knows it to be there isn’t much she can do.
Suppose its possible one or the other was adopted. Would be surprised if they decided to drop something like that in during the last couple episodes.
Minato resembles their mother in multiple ways, I find it hard for her not to be biological daughter of their parents. Who knows? It might be Jun who was adopted.
Junichi is such a sweetheart. I’m really not digging that whole incest crush. I hope this series will end soon.
@xeraphim: Yes very true, they aren’t blood related. Also by the way, I wonder about their father. Since the bomb blew up with him did he die? I mean I’ve read a lot of blogs yet none we’re talking about Junichi’s father. That’s another big climax is “did he die?”
