I liked the ramen scene a lot. It takes a perfect pair to do something like that. I kinda wish I could try it myself.

The behind the knee kiss was fun too.
Fun=win, so I'll keep watching.

UTW - Episode 04
---------------------------
To be honest, after learning that Junichi not only reminds Haruka of a dog, but her dog, I was even more sceptical of this relationship. The fact that Junichi was also so damn unsure of their relationship, along with all the distance he's verbally keeping by using "Senpai", it just amounted to a fairly superficial relationship.
But.. that somehow worked out. We'll simply have to take for granted that their bond grew out of a master-dog relationship without really telling us before Haruka jumped the gun and came out with a towel. Thinking back, reminding her of her dog should have actually been the key, as it goes beyond the fluffy outside-level of attraction and actually reminds her of an emotional bond. (I've never had a dog, so the significance wasn't immediately apparent)
"Junichi might not be able to protect Japan, but he'll protect me" - what a bullseye. Hibiki was left speechless.
Anyway, moving on..... Kaoru!!

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
He didn't go peek because you're a motherfucking mixed signal cockteasing bitch !!
I mean seriously... it's like this cunt embodies everything i hate about the chase and highschool romance... and what was that bit about the dog, was that supposed to be heartwarming?
I will say that the last scene was pretty funny, in the end they made a dysfunctional yet amusing little couple
Anyway, moving on..... Kaoru!!
The episode was so butcherushed it was painful on so many levels.
Just when the fun was begining.
I guess there's a visual novel with the same name, I should check if something is available...
I also hope next arc is not rushed towards the end.

It was supposed to mean that they actually met each other before, and their feelings were completely random.
It plays on the "Oh, you were this no-name saviour from my past" scenario.
"Heartwarming"? - no, more like "Fated".

Kaoru >>>> Haruka
Everything > annoying bitch... i completely agree with archie on this.
Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
This episode was more fun to watch than all of the previous episodes put together.
And for good reason.
The biggest one is that Junichi's his normal self around Kaoru. The two of them are completely at ease with each other and just say whatever they want. Junichi in particular isn't bound by trying to impress Kaoru, or worrying about whether or not he can win her and act accordingly.
All of this gives a relationship that feels GENUINE.
All the previous bits involved Junichi trying to impress Haruka in such a way that he can't be himself. It's as if she's with him because he does interesting things (like kissing the back of her knees and coming up with hostage-ramen scenarios), not because she loves him. You live with the insecurity that one day you'll fail to impress her, and she'll find someone else more interesting.
It's like trying to meet your monthly sale quota. Simply stressful if it doesn't come naturally. (By the end of it they made it seem natural, but ....)
In real life I could never date someone like Haruka without doubting her or myself every second. Only part of it would be due to my own insecurity, but the good majority of that would be because she's just so shaky.
I took an instant liking to Kaoru during the last arc, and after this episode, exponentially more so.
Kaoru Forever!

So this is going to be 4 episodes each for 6 girls right?
I can't wait for the swimmer and class president arcs. I really like this arc too, but I laughed quite a bit in the last one. I hope this one delivers the comedy as well.
Peace.
The swimmer (Ai?) is my next favourite girl after Kaoru.

In terms of personality, we know next to nothing about the president, but there is something about long straight black hair that I can't resist, as obvious from my sig and avatar.
Peace.
Kaoru doesn't seem too interesting. Not that she would need to be as interesting in all the wrong ways as Haruka but I guess I have never been much of a childhood friend route supporter. It seems too smooth and natural with them both knowing each other already and at least one having been gradually growing into the relationship over time - if not having always considered it their destiny (like it happens in most harem shows, where the childhood friend always thinks she has the first claim to the guy and everybody else are intruders).
I thought Rihoko was the childhood friend then again if Kaorus known him since middle school that kinda counts as well I guess.
I agree with Bill though since they already know each other it's easier to make the connection compared to when he had to pursue Haruka. So hopefully it'll feel more natural if nothing else they at least spend more time and talk together than he did with Haruka at the start.
Anyone else notice that they shuffled Karou and Haruka's place in the last segment of the OP?
You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely
The game it's based on was released on PS2, so I guess there's no way to find a translated version on a PC... Too bad.
I have troubles with Kaoru's violence, I like her style/hair, but violence isn't my thing.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Normally I dislike the violence too, but it's offset in Kaoru's case because she's otherwise really friendly/clingy with Junichi. (Just look at that husband/wife/ear-nibble play!)
She doesn't just hit people because she enjoys it, has violent tendencies, or is unable to express her embarrassment/frustration in any other way. She swung at him out of jealousy, and that's okay in my books. As for seeing her panties, that's an exception in most people's books I think.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
The total will be 26 episodes so either we'll have a couple of specials or some girls will have an extra episode
As expected, the series became much more enjoyable once they added a girl who... you know, wasn't a fucking bitch
Nah but seriously, Bill already pretty much said everything i was planning to say with emphasis on how genuine the relationship feels this time around
