With the sudden breakdown of Chihiro last episode, I was certainly surprised at her speedy recovery throughout this episode. She seemed to go from the hysterical girl 4 years ago and throwing her diary at Renji, to somehow falling in love with him again in what seems to be the span of a day. Is that what Chihiro does every single day when she wakes up? I find it rather hard to believe how she can somehow remain the same type of character that she is if she went from being confused and frustrated to being the calm and cheerful girl that we have seen in the earlier episodes. I can only imagine how much she actually has to read in her diary just to remember all the things from a certain point of time to now.

Impressions

Still, there was a lot more development on the Chihiro x Renji side of things compared to the Hirono x Miyako x Kei story. But there Miyako and Hirono’s relationship had definitely stepped up to the point where Miyako has now slept with Hirono. I was hoping to see something else from Miyako to get Hirono back, but I guess the two got caught up in the moment when they kissed. Though the way I see it is that Miyako realised that Hirono hadn’t forgotten about her, and that this was a chance to take him back, and that chance she took. But I can see this now cementing in the Hirono x Miyako relationship.

Kei on the other hand, I can’t really tell if she deserved what she got by seeing Miyako naked with Hirono, or that I should feel sorry for her. She has done some cruel things like deleting the messages on Hirono’s phone, and shutting her out of his apartment in the last episode, but Kei really hasn’t done anything to get closer to Hirono. In fact it seems that she is only pushing herself further away from him by arguing with him, but also thinking in the mindset of them being siblings. But now that she has seen what she can’t defeat, I wonder if this will allow her to get closer to Kyosuke as well since she wanted to talk to him after her and Hirono’s fight. Also Kei’s ending sequence makes perfect sense after seeing the end of this episode.

Well hopefully we can start seeing more angst, just like the one in the prologue, so I can’t wait to see more.
