In which our brave heroes conquer witches, school plays, and snuggling.
I have officially reached the age where I cry at family dramas. I have no excuses, just lots of used tissues as I blubber "oh, woobies!" and "it's SO SWEET!"
Previously on Zenkai Girl, Souta confessed to a sleeping Wakaba! GLEEEEEE!! Except... she was out of it and only half-remembered someone staying with her. And when she asked Souta who it was, he lied and said the principal.
BWAHAHAHA. AND FOR THEIR HONEYMOON, THEY'LL TAKE A PRIVATE JET TO THE SEX EXPRESS.
Determined to forget that annoying pillbug, Wakaba does what any woman would: she marches right up to her other love interest and PROPOSES. LOL. LOOOOOOOOOOOL. And he's just like "Uhhh, sure, if you wanna." SO MUCH PASSION.
On one hand, SAD HINATA MAKES ME SAD. On the other, this scene gave us the impossible beauty of WAKABA AND HINATA AS ROOMMATES.
Why don't you have air conditioning, Wakaba? Why do your blankets smell funny? Why is your TV out of date? Why haven't you thrown yourself at Pitaro's dad and stripped him naked for a hot-and-heavy S&M session? Okay, that last one was just me.
"WHY DO I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?" omg lol forever. "THIS."
SHE IS SO TINY AND ADORABLE AND SCARY. I love everything about her, but especially her disdain. She's like the only person who can go toe-to-toe with Wakaba... and she's three feet fall and covered in lace.
IRRESISTIBLE FORCE MEETS UNMOVABLE OBJECT.
Hinata is better than all of us.
Sleepover at Pitaro's house! *______________*
I love how Souta is all "YAY! SNUGGLES!" while Wakaba physically leans away clutching the blanket to her chest like a woman of virtue saying "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, BUDDY."
THIS MOMENT. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Pitaro's feet in Hinata's hair, Souta's hand in his pants (LOL WHAT), Hinata clutching Wakaba in her sleep (MY HEART), Souta and Pitaro both dressed exactly alike and sprawled out in the same way. Father/son cuteness achieved!
HAHAHAHA AND HE'S LIKE "NOTHING HAPPENED, DON'T SUE" BEFORE SHE EVEN OPENS HER MOUTH. HE KNOWS HER SO WELL.
.........MY INSTINCTS. SO TORN. I really do like her mom as the kickass lady boss who makes no apologies for it, but when it's directly responsible for making Hinata cry, SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. HINATA SHOULD NOT CRY. EVER.
I SERIOUSLY THOUGHT SHE WASN'T GOING TO MAKE IT AND I WAS ALREADY GETTING SNIFFLY...
...AND THEN SHE APPEARED AND THE TEARS CAME FOR REAL. OMG. OMG. SHE MADE IT, YOU GUYS. HINATA'S LITTLE FACE. HER SHEER JOY.
OMG OMG SO CUTE. HINATA. PRINCE PITARO. SOUTA GRINNING LIKE A BIG PROUD PAPA. WAKABA FORGETTING HERSELF AND CLAPPING ENTHUSIASTICALLY UNTIL SOUTA CAUGHT HER AND SHE WAS LIKE "............:| CLAP."
EVEN WHEN SHE "DIED" SHE WAS PEEKING AND GRINNING AT HER MOM BEING THERE. ADKLJFHASKDFJASDF SO MANY TEARS.
Blessed be the Goddess Hinata that watches over us all, and lo, she came from the mountain and delivered forth the news that Wakaba had been waiting for: her mystery caretaker was Souta all along.
DRAMATIC REALIZATION OF FEELINGS!
DRAMATIC DETERMINATION!
DRAMATIC RUN!!!! (WHERE'S A BUS WHEN YOU NEED ONE?)
DRAMATIC ENTRANCE. After wiping off the sweat from her run, lololol.
DRAMATIC PEEKING.
DRAMATIC REALIZATION THAT SOUTA'S EX-WIFE HAS CHOSEN THAT EXACT MOMENT TO COME BACK.
DRAMATIC ACCEPTANCE OF SHINDO'S MARRIAGE PROPOSAL. YES. YES. This is exactly what I watch jdramas for, you guys. These amazing cliches right here. BRING IT ON, ZENKAI GIRL. I WANT THEM ALL.
