I've had three hours of sleep. O_O No one bothered to stick around to seed, the rude leechers! So it took ridiculously long to actually get this episode. But it was entirely worth the pandas eyes I'm sporting today to have such a gratifying ending to this episode, especially after two weeks of teasers! And not only that, but the previews did not give everything away. :D
I loved this episode, even without the subtitles. Why? Because it was definitely the most emotional - the whole final sequence nearly had me in tears just from the expressions on Yuya's face, and folks, I've said that Kame was pretty before. Even very pretty, "pretty pretty pretty." Yes, he's pretty. But in this episode, Kame is beautiful. Wildly, impossibly beautiful. You'll see. It's breathtaking. And it's not just his physical appearance, but everything - his aura, if you will. He nailed this episode. I wish I didn't have to be at work today, or I would already have watched this with the subtitles, which are out super-early.
I have no idea what Minami thinks she's doing here. She hides behind this clothes rack from Ogiwara, but both Ogiwara and Watanabe know that she's back there.
The beautifully set up kiss that...was not to be. Yuya backs off at the last second. Way to yank a girl around!
Although, I must admit, I'm not that sorry he didn't kiss her, because I still feel uncomfortable wtih Watanabe's sob story. It just did not seem to me like it was enough to inspire Yuya to want to kiss her.
This next sequence is hilarious. I have no idea what crack Minami was on! She kept trying to hide from Ogiwara and she freaked out when she walked into a conference room and found him there. Dashing out into the hall, she finds Yuya and says something to him which seemed to make him think she was in danger? or being threatened? (from the way he ran in to the conference room)...only to find little old Ogiwara.
The below sequence is interesting. One cap that I don't have is that Minami puts her hand on Yuya's left shoulder. And then she reaches for his hand. Look at their hands!
In the images below, look at Yuya's right hand, which goes to his left shoulder - where Minami had touched him. I thought that was pretty cool, that her touch was still with him.
Yuya is adorable in his pajamas. I assumed he was talking to his sister? Erm, he was talking to Watanabe.
I just loved Yuya's hair flying around in the following caps:
