While learning more about Rina, Touya continues to keep his distance from Yuki.

Impressions:

Honestly at this point I’m just hoping Touya ends up alone. At first the guy just had an appearance that annoyed me. The expressions on his face are just really annoying when you get down to it. He’s not the only person that has bothered me in this series, but a lot seems to come back to him since he is the protagonist of this. If he honestly feels its better for Yuki if he’s not around then he should break up with her already. Instead he’s leaving it in limbo and hurting her by avoiding any contact. Partly I thought he was helping Misaki to be a good friend. But now I think its more that she was a good way for him to avoid dealing with Yuki. Can this guy seriously call himself her boyfriend? The only time he’s around her is if someone sets them up or a twist of fate happens. It’s pretty much never something he decides on his own. From checking out Misaki in this episode to giving in to Yayoi at the end this guy is dropping in my mind. Instead of saying sorry to Yuki in his mind he apologizes to Misaki because he’ll be late….

Ok enough ranting about the disappointment that is Touya’s character. Yuki is far from perfect, but I can’t help feeling sorry for her. Has no idea what is going on around her and can’t get any answers from Touya because he’s avoiding her like the plague. So her professional life is moving up while her personal life is running painfully in circles. Really the concerns continue from the last episode where she stands. Can’t get anywhere and has her manager messing with her boyfriend behind her back.

It was interesting to get more information about Rina. I can feel sorry for her as well when it relates to her brother. Now that she’s reached this level she is no longer interesting enough for him. She’s had to take on a cold persona to protect her career and so can’t get close to many at all. I don’t think she’s after Touya for a romantic interest, but just someone to have around that can ease the loneliness. Sadly he’s about all she can get with her status preventing her from walking around the streets and making friends. Don’t think she’s mad at Yuki. Once Yuki develops then just like Rina that will make her less interesting. While there is potential for a disaster from her actions at this point I don’t see a problem with her motives.

There is some hope with Haruka since she avoided a breakdown this time. Still have to say that wandering around put her in a pretty dangerous spot. Lucky that in the end all that happened was a small grope. Though not condoning that at all it’s just that the situation could have turned out much worse for her. It was good luck that Mana came in to save her at that moment. It is kind of sad that the loli actually bought that story from Touya. Someone has to step in and get Haruka to be less reliant on Touya. He can’t replace her brother and her brother isn’t going to come back from the dead. It’s a tragic thing to lose family, but she isn’t going to get anywhere by just continuing like this. Good luck getting help from Touya who just doesn’t notice how serious things are.

We’re getting closer to the end and I wonder how this will all wrap up. I still predict Touya will end up with Yuki after some disaster happens. Honestly this is one series where I’m not really rooting for anyone. Maybe I’m just rooting for Rina who I like the most to stay away from the coming disaster. Figure something big has to happen with Touya’s actions at the end of this episode.
