If the industrial business doesn't work out, I'm thinking she has a good future as a dominatrix.

Five eps into Asuko March and I've come to realize two things:

1: There is no way Matsuzaka Tori isn't the romantic lead, which is great, except...
2: ...I now ship the heroine with everyoneAt first I chalked it up to being a crazy shipper with no self-control (pretty girl in a school full of boys? SHIP THEM ALL!) but now I see Tumblr getting in

I'm trying to download episode 6 (SOMEONE SAID THAT THE NEXT EPISODE MIGHT BE THE LAST OMG NO WAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! ;______;) and it's taking forever. I am raging fullstop at the delay.

Lol i've pretty much given in to shipping her with everyone too especially after she managed to get Takeuchi all smily and happy. Takeuchi who's main role was the sneer at everyone, get a beating and then have people expelled. Shocking.

Those boys are smitten. Though i gotta say i'm still Team Tamaki because i find him adorable (which is why Hirose comes a very close second with Nao covering him when he was getting beaten up) and he's always there, which is what slightly irks me about Aruto. He's got his reasons why but i feel he's always there at places at the right time, you know? I'm hoping episode 6 will change all this.

Actually, i just want more boy moments together lol.

WAAAAHHHHHHH. ;___; I guess it makes sense, though. The whole transfer drama can only end one of two ways... BUT STILL, I'M NOT READY FOR THE GOOFY HIJINKS TO BE OVER.

I love how the boys have come to rally around Nao. I legit almost teared up when she thought they hated her BUT THEY WERE ACTUALLY MAKING HER A GIANT BOX OF GIFTS. How fucking cute was that?! And they're all so sweet and supportive and they call her "Leader" and just. AUGH. THAT CLASS. ♥ ♥ ♥

Takeuchi who's main role was the sneer at everyone, get a beating and then have people expelled.

Takeuchi has become one of my stealth favorites. Like, he's such a haughty dork even when he's trying to be sociable. I want him and Hirose to become business partners when they leave school.

I'm still on the Nao/Aruto train when it comes to "couples I really want to see making out," but seriously, at this point anything could become canon and I wouldn't complain. NAO WILL WIN NO MATTER WHO SHE CHOOSES.

[scanky_chops]

Yeah, i think the last episode they're going to the beach and Tamaki asks Nao if she'd like him if he was like Aruto and IJDSOIASNOGNSDJOGNDFB,D#L;FB'KFNJBFGN MY POOR BABY!

I'm just thinking. If they've not actually got very far with the actual manga, that means that another series could be done technically. I mean, Nao IS a first year right? RIGHT?

I legit almost teared up when she thought they hated her BUT THEY WERE ACTUALLY MAKING HER A GIANT BOX OF GIFTS.

OMG I CRIED! And i knew a lot of people were pissed with Tamaki for grabbing Nao etc but i knew it had to be for some other reason especially since he went and got his arm all mashed up for her. Aw. I'm beginning to love the whole class ngl. Even the creepier ones. It's starting to feel like Shibatora all over again. ;________________________;

Like, he's such a haughty dork even when he's trying to be sociable. Takeuchi will always be a bitch and i love him for it. But yeah, the idea of him and Hirose working together is pretty loltastic

[darkeyedwolf]

OH GOD TAMAKI. THAT SOUNDS SO HEARTBREAKING AND YET I REALLY WANT TO SEE IT JUST BECAUSE I KNOW KENTO WILL SELL IT. DOES THAT MAKE ME A BAD PERSON?

I'm just thinking. If they've not actually got very far with the actual manga, that means that another series could be done technically. I mean, Nao IS a first year right? RIGHT?

Or at the very least an SP. I'd love to see a "five years later" type thing after everyone's moved on from Asuko and is working in the real world. Nao would be a college graduate, Tamaki would be juggling factory duties with raising his now-teenage siblings (bwahaha) and Aruto would probably be touring Zimbabwe and carving statues or something, IDK. But it would be wonderful. Momo could stop by after midnight when she resumed human form.

i knew a lot of people were pissed with Tamaki for grabbing Nao etc

LOL I KINDA LOVED IT BECAUSE OF NAO'S FACE. Like, there was no fear there, just an annoyed "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" look. I really love Nao. ♥

But yeah, the idea of him and Hirose working together is pretty

So, I take from the posts here and on your tumblr that AM is worth checking out? I mean, I'm finishing up a massive Queen of Reversals marathon right now (it's so good!), but after I'm done, there will be need for something completely different - and a high school jdrama seems like a good bet :P

[darkeyedwolf]

Yesssss! I mean, okay, it's totally ridiculous and full of Inspirational Speeches but JUST LOOK AT ALL THE SHIPPINESS. And the characters are adorable. And it's actually really funny.

I LOVE IT A LOT. *_____*

I've never tried Queen of Reversals - that good, huh?

[miss_magrat]

It seems adorable! How's the heroine, overall? Gah, I haven't watched a proper high school drama in ages, I'm kind of excited to return to them XD

I've never tried Queen of Reversals - that good, huh?

Ha, it is! The heroine is a no-nonsense career woman who spent a few years at home but is now back in her old company to show everyone how good she really is. Her OTP is the awesome secondary guy, instead of her kind of useless husband! The secondary characters are actually pretty well fleshed out and I swear 99% of them has their own little OTP, so there is a lot romantic dorkiness going on :D And while the secondary girl might be really enraging at times, she a) has her own independent OTP as well (!!!) b) gets hilariously drunk and ends up sleeping at her enemies' places c) is played by the secondary lead from Coffee Prince. I think I might end up doing a post on it after I'm finished, cause I have lots of love XD

[darkeyedwolf]

I love her, but then I tend to do that with female characters other people find annoying, so ymmv. XD

I think I might end up doing a post on it after I'm finished, cause I have lots of love

Please do! A career-minded heroine + secondary guy romance + CP cast leftovers? It sounds like something right up my alley. Plus all my current dramas are ending soon, so I'll need something to distract me from the withdrawal.

[impynymph]

Just pretend you're at the fish market, Nao. Choose wisely and take a few home.

....I wish it was like this when I was in Japan.
Except the high school boys can be replaced with college men.

[darkeyedwolf]

You mean it isn't a magical land of boarding schools and pink-haired teenagers piloting giant robots? ANIME HAS LIED TO ME.

[impynymph]

IT LIES WOLFIE. JAPAN LIES TO US.

All the men I met except for one (who was a serial flirter in Namba) had normal hair.... and sadly I saw no robots :(

[darkeyedwolf]

Was he a host? Did he have host hair? I want to see real-life host hair at least once before I die, it's on my bucket list.

[insipid_paragon]

I WAS SO CRUSHED WHEN I THOUGHT THEY WERE TALKING SMACK ABOUT HER, BUT THEN MY HEART WAS SOARING WITH THE BOX OF GIFTS HOW ARE THEY SO ADORABLE. thespeechesaremassiveboring BUT THEIR REACTIONS DURING THEM ARE SO CUUUUUTE.

Seriously, there is no way this drama can conclude with a single pairing. Right? It's got to stay open like this, it's got to, or it just won't feel right. I mean. THEY'RE ALL JUST SO SHIPPABLE.

[darkeyedwolf]

OMG ME TOO. I was mad at the writer the most, for giving the boys such short-term memories when it came to Nao and how much she'd done for them. BUT THE JOKE WAS ON MEEEEEE.

I like the speeches. Actually, I just like Nao. >___>

Re: shippiness, I just don't want anyone to get their heart broken. Is that so much to ask?

[insipid_paragon]

I was trolling your tumblr, and the picture of Hirose's arm with the heart drawn around it made me realize that really, if I'm to be completely honest, my OTP for this show is Hirose/world. Seriously, he just needs to give the whole world a gigantic hug with those gorgeous, hulking arms. ...*googles* Whoo, of age. Okay, safe. ACTUALLY REALLY, then, what he needs to do is hug me in those gorgeous, hulking arms.

I feel a lot better for being honest about that.

[insipid_paragon]

Also... because I see other people commenting about Nao, and I have to get my Nao thoughts off my chest

[cranberrysheep]

DILEMMA.

There really isn't a dilemma. I had every intention of watching it. I tried. But I hated the male lead after like the first thirty seconds. I lasted three episodes and dropped. that. shit.

[darkeyedwolf]

AUGH, see, his character is the one that makes me go DO NOT WANT just from reading the synopsis. BUT... TAKEI EMI. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

[cranberrysheep]

You'll regret it~~~

[darkeyedwolf]

I watched Innocent Love! The whole thing! How much worse can it be?
