FINALLY the Momiji arc has been bestowed upon us!

Having said that Noboru smells tasty, Noboru should also be able to smell how tasty Momiji is at this proximity.

The moment of understanding. A new, worthy harem lead and haremette are in the making! This episode also greatly raised my estimation of Sakura as a chara and of her chances but the mutuality still seems weaker than in the Noboru x Momiji case, that is, it’s still one-sided WRT Noboru x Sakura.

A little disappointed that Momiji seemed quite low profile in the otherwise lovely ED. Three cheers for Mubyou, Sheep and Wolf! And don’t think I spotted Momiji either in the final festival crowd shot… :(

You can be my Santa any day.


Did you know how difficult it was to find shoes to go with this dress?

LOL, ‘cool your head‘. At least there were no eyebags to remove from the DVD version.

That’s a new one: censorship by flying fish. Amy Chua, you’re gonna be out of a job!

The Declaration of Rivalry!

Ahaha~♥ Not so hot about the new hair style but just gotta love Momiji’s ‘ja ne!’ Shizuka Itou was definitely the *perfect* casting choice for her character. Gutsy and feminine but also with a touch of vulnerability. *goes back to rewatch the concert scene from Ep 13*
Nice feet.
Oh noes! What have they done to my Mo-chan!
I hope that’s not the end of her arc! Else we need an OVA spin-off.
Feet are more a Tama-nee thing though. :3
I wonder if the final arc will go into harem mode now that all the cast members from the OP have been ‘properly’ intro-ed with back story etc. So far the pattern has been (for OP cast members), ‘an enemy appears, they become friends’. Except for the glasses guy who was ‘helping’ the Oni. The final boss who cannot be befriended?
They *do* need someone to beat the snot out of with the Power Of Friendship(tm), no ? :P
(You know, I find it vaguely diquieting how friendship so often essentially gets transmuted into a direct combat buff in anime…)
