Inu × Boku SS

[Ryllharu]

I'm surprised you didn't complain that she wasn't using a French Press...

Aeropress ftw, not that I drink coffee, but guests do, so I own one. Vacuum pots are nice as well.

edit:
You have to remember that Ririchyo was completely isolated in her home. No one talked to her, even her servants. They revered her and treated her like a doll. Her own parents loathed or feared her, preferring to give all their attention to their "less privileged" daughter. Her household acted like she could get anything she wanted, but it was obvious that all they really did was give her what they expected her to need. When she did ask for something (paper), they would paralyze her with choices. While she did learn to love stationary, she definitely over thinks everything she does.

Ririchyo ends up too worried about another person's reaction to what she might say (since she theoretically held so much power in her household she could ruin someone) so she ends up stumbling and saying "safe" small-talk or the insults.

I was somewhat astonished that she didn't just send a letter of invitation to him. That's more her style.

French Press? I did try it too. It was called Moroccan coffee. It's a little muddy, even when carefully processed, I didn't mention it as it might not suit the character well.

Regarding the letter, well she did try to put her words on paper to sort her ideas, but it seems it didn't come to her she should use that medium.
It's true I did forget about her background and how she's an outcast.

lol, so we're not going to get this coffee session after all? Plenty of fan service this time round. I'm totally cool with that.

Hmm, so what's the big secret? It would seem like he was lying and using her for his own ends this whole time, and with all of Ririchiyo's trust issues, that's certainly what she's thinking at the end of the episode. What she saw in the hallway when she went to visit him will help that misconception. It's too bad we never saw what her text message said.

But if I had to guess from the preview...it would be that Miketsukami was actually the one receiving her letters when she was young. That would be how he "saved" him so long ago. He might even be the one who she's actually engaged to, but for whatever reason, he asked Kagerou to take his place.

I'm a little saddened by the fact that we will probably not be seeing her sister any time soon, if at all. That was always the most promising aspect of this story for me. Maybe the manga covers it...

P.S. And oh yes that mother (9:19) was an "S", ku ku ku.

[shinta|hikari]

That "ku ku ku" laugh! You are unmistakeably an S.

That's my thought too.

I would have thought that it was Kagerou who was engaged to her all along though. He just didn't feel like writing those letters since he can't be very S about it, so he passed the task on to Miketsukami.

That episode healed the damage GC did to me.

That episode healed the damage GC did to me.

Inu Boku SS is like the complete opposite of GC - without its flaws.

I gather that the "bewitched man" was seeing all those clones, and there weren't multiple (9?) Miketsukami Soushis? Even if Kagerou's family was more powerful, I can't see how a family would simply give up their prized possession like that - particularly when the Miketsukami household believed their own could be used to control the world.

[shinta|hikari]

Power is like that. They simply had no other choice. The alternative was probably being crushed by the stronger party.

A satisfying ending to a nice series I suppose. The relationship did feel a little fast-tracked since it wasn't too long ago that Ririchiyo was thinking she had a heart problem, but the relevation her childhood "soul mate" was actually Miketsukami does make sense for such development.

Nobara was right. Miketsukami certainly doesn't care how young Ririchiyo is. xD
