Lost a bit of it's shine for me here.

"I didn't know that a person's love could be this heavy. "

Interesting episode. I found it realistic that Hana discovered that just because they were comfortable intimately didn't mean they had a real connection. That Mugi only had eyes for Akane.

Oh, and a good call to my MDL friend. I hadn't really picked up on Akane vibes, but wow did her character explode out. The next episode looks like it's going to be intense.

This one ended up being more of a stepping stone episode to start the arc between Hana and Akane. It kind of annoyed me how it left things up in the air between Ebato Sanae and Hana. Though I did appreciate the back story.

Oh! Ha-ha. I love how she had to borrow his close because hers got dirty. (Refrain self from horrible tacky pun.)

Anywho this episode didn't do much for me character wise, but it is a really good setup for what I believe is coming. (Must resist horrible puns.) The first two episodes packed such a punch for me that this episode just kind of whimpered out. I will say that I love the director's take of the rose and black theme in aspects of the character's relationships to each other.
