Hot for Teacher
All I can say is the end of episode three of Majo No Jouken has killed me. The rest of this post is made by my dead body.
Oh My God. My favorite episode so far.
So wonderful.
I am actually not very coherent about it. Except I want to make everything better for them. I feel so horrible for Hikaru. I remember how it felt to be so madly in love and so young and to be sure the person didn't love you back. He just is so earnest and opens his heart so much. That bit at the end where she finds him asleep in the library and he is asleep and she looks through his notebook (and he's redrawn Michelangelo's painting of Adam and God with her as God and himself as Adam) and she looks up and he is looking at her, and his eyes are wide open and tears just pour out of them and he asks her 'am I dreaming again?' and tells her he keeps having the same dream over and over again, where he keeps waiting for her even though she doesn't come and then she finally comes only to tell him she doesn't like him.
And the way he asks her 'you've come to tell me you don't like me?' breaks my heart because it's such a heart-breaking certainty in his voice. And when she tells him no. She likes him. She likes him very much. And they are both kneeling, and there are tears on his cheeks and there is KISSING. And it's all so beautiful and cannot end well.
Michi actually seems to be growing up: she is deciding what she wants and standing up to her father. But OMG, that school is such a nasty place. I've forgotten how cruel children could be! That scene where three of her students drag her off to a room is horrible. And I love the scene where Hikaru and Michi text each other. They are both impractical dreamers with his asking her to go to Italy with him. My sense of impending doom is getting stronger and stronger.
And OMG. His waiting for her at the garage. And then in the rain at the school. And her running.
I am severely worried, as it's already horrifyingly angsty and winterspel told me the second half is the angsty one!
