My favourite part in this episode must be the short conversation that Fumi shares with Ah-chan while waiting for the gate to raise at the railway. Fumi is a bit hesitant but she says she wants to stay at Ah-chan’s place for the night. Ah-chan WITHOUT hesitation simply says “sure”. *BEAM* “And how about borrowing my PJs? Oh…They might not fit…” hahaha Gotta love how cute and innocent Ah-chan is!! haha The lit up look on Fumi’s face was just sweet!!
But Ah-chan is not all thick either. She’s sensitive and can tell that something must be wrong between Fumi and Sugimoto. “I hate girls that cry!” hahaha I like Ah-chan!!
The second half of the episode switches focus to Fumi and Yasuko. The two clearly do care about each other but both carries ghosts from their past. Nevertheless, Fumi tries to approach Yasuko again. Yasuko invites her to visit her family. Aaaaww!!! Doesn’t Yasuko look cute in the below top right pic?! I feel like falling for her seriously!! hehe
But her family is CRAZY!! Especially the nasty sister and mum!! LOL
Let’s take a bet on whether or not Yasuko takes their relationship to the next level tonight.
Actually, I’d wager to say they already went to the next level.
I also thought it was interesting to note that although Yasuko is seen like a prince at school, at home, her sisters describe her as a ‘princess’. I guess being the youngest doesn’t help. Another amazing episode!!
P.S. Btw, did anyone pick up on Mamiko Noto’s voice!!? She’s the sister with the orange long hair!!

I love the the second collage: excellent cross composition with colors prominently featuring the contrast of light and dark green and blue along with poignant expressions :)

Yeah Yasuko looked Awesome in the top right hand. This grown up-ish girly clothes and angle. Especially the angle. She was so cute XD
But nothing could get me away from the stubborn FumixAh-chan. “Today is a date with Fumi-chan” ehehe. Awesome episode.

I’m just loving the animation style so far, so soft and fluid. And A-chan really is so cute and supportive in this episode “Hai-na!” LOL kawaii!!!
Alright Yasuko – the poor thing is quite messed up still. And her second sister Kuri asking her “are you in love with her now/currently” really hammers home the point that Yasuko is still hang up on the teacher. Fumi being caught up in the middle just sucks, but at least the family does like her, and all seem open-minded about her. It feels like they’re doubting Yasuko more than Fumi because of said past with her teacher. So yeah they’re actually quite cool in my book:). And the mom LOL. Hell it’d be nice if my mom is that open-minded:).
Another interesting thing and rather brave thing about this anime is that it does use terms like “lesbian” and “bisexual” with context and without being preachy/political. It’s a nice change.

@Kitsune: LOL You seriously should be praising the animation team! All I did was whack the screen shots together along with a nice quote!
@sakunyan: I LOVE that scene too!! The angle is just tooo cute!! Oh and that quote!! *MEGA SQUEAL* moment!! hehe
@Twilight: I completely agree – so far the story and art is just a perfect match! As for the family!? SUPER cool!! I think I’d fall off my chair if my mum said that!! hahahaha The use of those terms is definitely a surprise but it’s good to bring things out into the open!! ^_^
