Huzzah! I have decided to blog this series afterall, using the character-specific style I use for GSD. Though out goes the first person reporting which I found increasingly cumbersome due to the need to conform with dramatic irony.
Anyhowz this is my own little tribute to the lovely Asa Shigure who fills the tomboy-best-friend-who-secretly-likes-the-guy role. Can’t say I had the best first impression. Her introductory “Haa-low” was extremely grating but this improved tremendously as her seiyuu manages plenty of comedic depth, especially when she is teasing or harassing or flirting with Rin. Like Stripey, to whom I am indebted to for shoving more anime crack my way introducing me to this series, I felt that her “Hontou ni sou omou?” was expressed most beautifully and that her seiyuu does best at these lower registers.
