Ffffff today has been a pretty good day so far. I'm doing good on my work, getting things done and not writing fic like I really want to dammit XD And then
lavenderlilly and I proved once again that we are somehow the same person and found this:
Yes, that is the library from Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi :3 Not just a similar library, but THE library that Takano and Ritsu go to in Episode 11 ♥ It's a cool 16 minutes from Sengoku station (the nearest station to where they live) and almost a straight shot at that…up a hill, just like the hill that Takano and Ritsu live at the top of 8D If you account for the fact that Takano and Ritsu themselves live 9 minutes from the station, a 7-min jaunt to the library isn't so bad.
Beri's currently trying to figure out where the hell they live (a 14-story apartment building should stick out, right??? OF COURSE RIGHT), at which point I'm going to forever wonder what would happen if I went to 1201 or 1202 and pushed the buzzer >_>
It also makes me wonder why Nakamura put in so much detail based on a place that doesn't HAVE to exist in real life. Marukawa I can understand--because it's supposed to be based on Kadokawa. But…Takano's and Ritsu's apartment complex has no reason to be based in real life and yet very much IS, down to the conbinis around the station and the landmarks nearby! Does she live there, or did she used to live there? It seems a strange thing to do a lot of research on only to never reveal where it is (until episode 1 of Season 2).
In unrelated news, TOTALLY BUYING THE OCTOBER 21 ISSUE OF GOODCOME! Why?
UMM: DIRTY PAIR AND GOLDEN PAIR INTERVIEW. YES. (okay and Yanagisawa and Kisarazu will be there too XD) Thanks EVER so much for the update Charlie 8D
Also, unrelated as well: I just realized
this gathering the other day was to celebrate Mizuki's birthday! And Wasshi was there to celebrate with him! ♥ (okay so most of pnish were there, but Tuti probably just came cause there was booze). ALSO HOW DID I NOT NOTICE THEY'RE SITTING BESIDE EACH OTHER??
