you really think so?
Honoka-chan continues to feel Suzuka’s shadow on her efforts to get closer to Yamato. After failing to seduce Yamato with a sexy swimsuit at the pool theme park, she finally confronts Suzuka. Mentar sees Honoka-chan as trying to get the go-ahead from Suzuka, thus showing some sort of consideration for Suzuka. I could not disagree more.
In Ep 10 in which Honoka-chan does not appear at all (Hmph!) reveals more of Suzuka’s backstory - she has to deal with a lot of guilt, lost chances and general confusion. Definitely a big boost to enabling me to empathisize with her more and really see her as a heroine in this story instead of simply as the object of Yamato’s affections. In Ep 11, poor Honoka-chan realizes how much effect Suzuka has on Yamato as well as the possibility that she cares enough about him to actually call out to him so publicly.
