Ep 17. Have called in the heavy artillery, my old partner, who now goes by the name of Shirakawa Nana. But Nana-chan doesn’t even carry Walther-san with her anymore! She kept saying that I shouldn’t blow my cover by blowing Suzuka’s brains out with Beretta-san. Took her offer to intro Akitsuki-kun to her so she could help him understand my feelings more. That woman and her kunoichi somehow joined us for karaoke and we had to feed them our initial meeting cover story. But at least Akitsuki didn’t sing that duet with that woman. I am Akitsuki-kun’s girlfriend!
Ep 18. Am sure Nana-chan fed Akitsuki-kun my birthday info. He lied to me about not being able to go dating on Sat but am sure he will get me a nice present. Followed him, via the GPS-locator- mobile-phone- strap and he was with that woman! When he came to give me my present, all Akitsuki-kun was talk about was Suzuka this, Suzuka that. Itch for Beretta-san was so strong. Returned Suzukafied present to Akitsuki-kun. I am Akitsuki-kun’s girlfriend, aren’t I?
Ep 19. Refused to talk to Akitsuki-kun as was so afraid I’d blurt out that am planning to off Suzuka with Beretta-san, never mind Nana-chan’s advice and all. But how not to arouse suspicion? Everyone will know it was me. Akitsuki-kun came to the house to give present again and said he found me cute at pond etc. Brilliant plan came to me. Break up with Yamato, accept present, so I can shoot Suzuka without arousing suspicion! I, Honoka Sakurai, am Akitsuki-kun’s past and future girlfriend!
Ep 20. Rejoined track team and started being nice to Akitsuki-kun again so no one will suspect am paranoid, possessive and seething with jealousy. Discussed Operation Build Confidence with Nana-chan. I will build my confidence before confessing to Akitsuki-kun again. BTW code decryption: Build Confidence = Kill Suzuka.
Honoka breaks up with Yamato. In the end, it was surprisingly amicable as she accepted his present and gave him a farewell kiss. Continue reading ‘Suzuka 19′
Yamato and Suzuka shop for Honoka’s birthday present. Along the way, Suzuka gets Yamato to buy her a ring. Arriving late at their meeting point with Honoka only to find the aftermath of a traffic accident and a torn, bloodied hair ribbon on the ground. Oops. Wrong anime. ^_- But you get the general idea - wails of "Poor Honoka!" from us Honoka-chan Fanboys and triumphant cries of "Suzuka FTW!" from the Suzuka Fanboys.

Ohhh, the animation in this episode very craptastic. No masses of Honoka-chan screencaps as a result. Suzuka tries the umbrella trick on Yamato but didn’t walk home with him under it like he did with her previously. Later she barges in on him at karaoke and tries to get closer to him, both literally and metaphorically. Yamato thinks that he’s done good by ditching the coincidental duet with Suzuka after seeing Honoka-chan’s agonized expression. Nana Shirakawa adds more paving the little red brick road to relationship hell by making Yamato realise that he is, afterall, a chump and to make up for it by buying a gift for Honoka-chan’s upcoming birthday. (Zyl shakes fist at the spoilerastic Next Week scenes.) Continue reading ‘Suzuka 17′
Ep 13. Even Hattori-kun warned me someone was going to take Akitsuki-kun away from me. Dressed up in best outfit for Akitsuki-kun. Held his hand. Yay! Just as mood was getting nice, *she* had to show up. Kissed him on the lips to stop him turning around. Very very good. Waddup biatch! Next day Akitsuki-kun kept looking at my lips. Very good. And he missed seeing *that* woman’s new record jump. Very very good. Cornered Aktitsuki-kun at the pond. Love-chan, my pre-deployed specially trained splashy carp gave pretext to jump into Akitsuki-kun’s arms. When he didn’t kiss me, cue tears - he melted and kissed me! Very very very good! Still not Akitsuki-kun’s girlfriend. Just yet.
Ep 14. After kissing and some prompting, Akitsuki-kun said we should go out as a couple. YES!!! I am now Akitsuki-kun’s girlfriend! (Does happy dance) Slipped Akitsuki-san a GPS-locator cum matching mobile phone strap. But he left it on the train. Stranded in Hiroshima with *that* woman, of all people. Should have popped her with Beretta-san when I had the chance! I am Akitsuki-kun’s girlfriend! Ceterum censeo Suzuka esse delendam!
