The powerful flower refers, of course, to Hinagiku which apparently means daisy (en). IIRC I first heard this chara song in the anime when Hinagiku debutted in her Revolutionary Girl Utena cosplay. This single was on sale back in August last year when I was visiting Tokyo on the occasion of Comiket 72 but I hadn’t fallen under the spell of Hinagiku yet. Though I downloaded it a few months ago, it’s nice to have the chara CD in my physical possession. And, well, better late than never. Ahaha~♥

In the opening page of The Gift: Forms and functions of exchange archaic societies, Marcel Mauss asks: In primitive or archaic types of society, what is the principle whereby the gift received has to be repaid? What force is there in the thing given which compels the recipient to make a return?
One of the advantages of having a good brother and buddy who also shares your anime hobbies and understands your anime tastes is that we can both exchange sweet anime loot as gifts. My most recent bounty from Stripey have been the MariMite R3s (first season and Haru) and Towel from the eyecatch in Hayate no Gotoku’s beach episode.
Hayate, Nagi and Maria holiday on Mykonos; our hero time slips back to a time of an even loli-er Nagi to save her from mafia assassins (whose Italian speech consists of a string of pasta names LOL). Meanwhile Nishizawa and our great pinkhaired goddess Hinagiku visit Cappadocia and the Parthenon.
Nagi sends Hayate out on an errand in order to prepare a surprise ‘Congratulations on your promotion to the next level of high school’ party. But not before saying some hurtful things. With her words in his mind, an elite butler courier firm attempts to headhunt Hayate, promising to pay off his debts. Hina-chan thinks about how she’d like to congratulate Hayate too.
Nagi and Nishizawa join forces in a quiz battle; former wants to win the Hayate-shaped trophy, latter wants to share the prize ticket of all you can eat shabu shabu with Hayate. But standing in their way are Miki and Hinagiku (who only appear after the eye catch though).
