I get a brief respite from exams and this is what I get: Junichi’s creepy pedo face.
So aw, it is Morishima’s arc after all. We are constantly told how popular and charming she is, but the anime never shows it. We never really understand everyone’s fascination with her (I actually think she’s kind of condescending and ditzy), especially Junichi’s. He doesn’t really know her, but gosh, she’s popular, pretty and it’s just “fun” when they hang out. Their brief moments together are so much fun actually that he had the guts to confess again. But when do they really hang out? When do they really get to know each other? All Junichi did this episode was run around like her lapdog as if that makes him boyfriend-worthy. Unsurprisingly, his goal is to just ingratiate himself upon Morishima to the point where she can’t ignore him anymore. It’s as if there’s some sort of affection gradient between them and if they spend enough time together, enough will leak out of him and into her.
The most interesting thing said all episode was a seemingly throwaway comment by Morishima: “I don’t think you have to be in a relationship to get along with others.” Can’t men and women just be friends? Judging by the developments of this episode, the anime’s position on this debate seems pretty obvious.
