Unfortunately, this means a lot of exposition. Some exposition is necessary to grease the wheels and get the story going. But I think this show could’ve done a better job at pulling back the curtains. Ah well. So what are we learning in this week’s episode?
We finally meet the capture targets, and there’s always a shota. Always, always, always. It’s kinda disgusting if you ask me. If you go too far down his route, the game should just automatically dial the police and give them your name and address. In any case, everyone is busy talking about Bertia. Normally, they should be obsessed with the heroine, right? I also don’t think you should be openly yapping about the prince’s fiancée like this. But we have to remember that Cecil is mostly amused by Bertia for now. He hasn’t quite fallen in love with her just yet.
Miki met Minato when she was down in the dumps and having trouble making friends, so a pattern is emerging. Basically, she should be wise to his antics. For whatever reason, he likes to chat up all the lonely people. Maybe Yota is right in that he pities them. But what happens afterward? Does Minato stay in touch with his “patients?” Or does he drop them once he can’t look like a savior to them? The latter would explain why Miki looks so bothered about Minato’s clumsy attempts to befriend Koyuki. I just wish she would say something to her friend.
Natsuki’s do-over life hits a snag when Tatsuya suddenly slams his hands down on the table during a hangout one day and storms off. Natsuki goes after the guy, asking Tatsuya to tell him what’s wrong. But Tatsuya can only reply that he feels pathetic and wants to be alone right now. H-how can this be? This second life was supposed to be perfect. Well, even in last week’s episode, you could already see storm clouds brewin’. I questioned the need to have Natsuki thoroughly beat Tatsuya in a pick-up basketball game. Is it silly to have a fallout over this? Sure, but these are moody teenagers. And for a guy who is officially on the basketball team to lose to Natsuki, it’s kinda insulting. But the MC has abs tho!
