Okay, this is the cutest scene of anything ever. Baby OTP discussing the romance of their caretakers! "He walks around the house sighing a lot..." "He's lovesick!"
I don't really have anything to say about this drama except that it's still unexpectedly awesome. Wakaba is such a fabulous heroine, like if Yankumi had a baby with BOSS and then sent it to live with Aunt Hotaru. She's smart and quippy and determined but also SUPREMELY DORKY and her feelings are made of LIVE PORCUPINES.
LOVE IS JUST A HORMONAL IMBALANCE, she says. I AM A PROFESSIONAL CAREER WOMAN. ROMANCE IS SOMETHING I CHOOSE BASED ON NECESSARY CONDITIONS OF MY STATUS.
That's why she sits at home... cherishing a pea... that Souta dropped on the ground... just because it was part of a meal he made her.
Okay, I lied, I do have more to say. AND IT'S ALL ABOUT WAKABA.
Professional Wakaba!
Bespectacled fist-pumping tracksuit-wearing Wakaba!
Drunk Wakaba!
Baby Wakaba!
...still not taking any shit!
Wakaba on a hot date wondering if she should put out. "No, I'm wearing underwear that I bought in a 3-pack at the supermarket..."
I LOVE HER APARTMENT. I love that it's nothing but wall-to-wall textbooks and homemade motivational posters. SUCCESS IS HER ONLY OPTION.
Realizing she owns nothing but discount underwear and work suits, Wakaba tries to figure out "her style" by looking at celebrity fashion sites. EVER WONDERED WHAT GAKKI'S FACE WOULD LOOK LIKE ON LADY GAGA'S BODY?
DON'T WORRY, SHE IS JUST AS HORRIFIED.
HAHAHAHAHA.
WAKABA'S ATTEMPTS AT PERSONAL STYLE.
Wakaba after punching her OTP in the face and accidentally re-aligning his nose. WHOOPS.
She considers him a pillbug! Which manifests as floaty little pillbugs around her head that she angrily swats away.
At one point she's remembering all their OTP moments and the music goes soft and pillbugs gently drift down the screen like rain. LOL FOREVER.
"Don't follow me!"
"Don't follow me!"
THE PERFECT SIDE-EYE.
"I had my first kiss when I was five. How old were you, Wakaba?"
(Answer: 24. XD)
MUDFIGHT!!!! WITH GRINS AND ACCIDENTAL TOUCHING AND DIRTY DIRTY UST. YES.
CUTE CHILDREN BEING CUTE.
OMG and then Pitaro FINDS HER A PILLBUG. OMG. "MY DAD MAY BE A PILLBUG, BUT HE'S A GREAT PILLBUG." HOW SO FUCKING ADORABLE, DRAMA?
I WANT TO TAKE THEM HOME WITH ME. BOTH OF THEM. CAN THIS BE ARRANGED?
YES THESE WERE ALL COMPLETELY NECESSARY. COMPLETELY. EVERYBODY LINE UP FOR A RIDE ON THE RYO EXPRESS. *_________*
