Mei's doing pretty well. She puts Hayakawa in his place in no time, after Yamato did so physically, and she does the same to Aiko, but in a friendlier way that may be better for her role in the story. All of this only brings each Mei and Yamato closer to the other, and strengthens their bond greatly. It sucks that Yamato did sleep with Aiko, but at least it's not like he does that with everyone like Hayakawa. Still more of a playboy than I expect from either side of a main romantic couple in high school romance anime series. Maybe that's another thing that's more likely to be in shoujo romances than shounen, though.

So Kurosawa got himself an abandoned kitten.
Well, it was thinks to Mei though..
Mei's cat on the other hand was pretty passive.
Her first time at Kurosawa's place was interesting.
Kurosawa's little sister Nagi kinda ruined the mood..
Well, that kid had her own problems. I kinda felt sorry for her.
She's pretty talented too ^^ It didn't take long for her to hit it off with Mei.

Mei wins over the little sister beautifully. Looks like she's pretty happy with her role as Yamato's girlfriend now. Things are looking good.

That was so damn sweet. Mei finding a kindred sprit in Nagi and befriending her was nice to see. Just the person Nagi needed to meet at a time in Mei's life that was optimum for her to be there. A comforting episode.

Episode 5:

- Cats! They're confusing! Hahah, oh Yamato you're adorable sometimes.
- The cat pooped! Yaaaaaaaaaay! Well that was a hilarious way to start off the episode.

- Yay! Yamato has an adorable bad-tempered imouto.
- Ooh and she's a "reliable imouto" type! One of my absolute favorite character archetypes eeeeeever.
- "I bet you thought something weird just now." Heh.
- Unamused cat is unamused.
- Don't drop unamused cat.
- Bwhaha, it was obvious imouto would walk in on them, but I love that her conclusion is that Mei was attacking Yamato.

- Looks like Mei has her next BEFRIENDING target.
- Stupid fake friends just wanted Nagi for her nice house and delicious cookies. ;_;
- Kind of a half-assed reason to get Yamato out of the house, but who cares, it's an excuse to let Nagi and Mei interact. <3

!@&#^!@&#^&*!@&*# CUTENESS OVERLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAD! Mei's harem continues to grow!

Seriously that was ridiculously adorable, oh my god. This show is incredible.

It was a very nice episode. I liked watching Mei and the sister, and seeing the two curled up together was sweet. ^_^

- Yamato are you sure it was only for that stalker to go away? Are you really sure?
- Mei and Asami together. Please let them, be real friends. I really like Mei and Yamato as a couple, but I really like Asami as well. So, if we can have Mei and Yamato as a couple and Mei and Asami as real friends, it would be wonderful.
- I understand that Asami likes Yamato; he was really nice with her in the flashback.
- The last thing Asami said to Mei sure bothers her. At least, she was able to ask Yamato about it and not keeping it for herself for too long. But, she thinks he makes himself sound like a hypocrite.
- And now Mei is investigating.
- I really like Mei's reaction towards the girls who spoke badly about Asami. This is another step in the good direction.
- It’s nice that Asami learns that Mei did look out for her.
- Well, this time it is Nakanishi who look out for Asami, it was far from the best way he could have, but at least he look out for her.
- With the help of Mei, Nakanishi confesses to Asami.
- And he is going out with her. Another step in the good direction, since it will help for Asami and Mei to be real friends even who knows, maybe best friends.
- Stalker-san!
- After all the kisses, the real one, the one with love, the one which tasted like fried chicken.

This show is definitely awesome.

Mei & Kurosawa.
Megumi & Kurosawa.
This doesn't look good.
It was nice seeing Yamato turn Megumi down without second though.
I don't like her type that thinks others should be happy to date her.
Her "let's be friends" act didn't really convince me.
I bet that girl has some ulterior motives.
Making Mei feel worthless is working to Megumi's advantage to get Yamato.

Episode 6:

- Aww, Mei got a text from Nagi. But why is she trying to hide it? Must be Yamato's birthday coming up and they're working on a present together.
- Hah yep, Nagi si teaching Mei how to make a cake or whatnot.
- Cookies. Kobayashi-mama knows what you're up to!

- Megu-tan! Knew it was Kotobuki Minako. SO she'll be pleasant to listen to but I'm sooooooo not sure how I feel about this turn of events. "hot model/idol/actress moves into school and shakes things up!" is one of the laziest ways of prolonging the tension in a story. Oh well I guess it's the price you pay for getting the main couple together quickly. Though a good thing about this show is that it shouldn't take more than 2-3 episodes for Mei to BEFRIEND her.
- I wonder if she knows Yamato from before. She did hear whatshisname say Yamato's name, but it really seems like, say, they went to elementary school together and he forgot about her but she didn't forget about him.
- Uh, it looks like Mei saw most of that. So major kudos to both Yamato for brushing Megu off, and Mei for not misinterpreting it.

- Or maybe Mei didn't see it? Even though she was staning like 10 feet away. >_> Whatever, they still didn't make a big deal out of it. Though I think Yamato kinda wants Mei to, heh.
- Megu switches gears to a "nice girl" attack.
- Wow Asami are you braindead? Way to not consider Mei's feelings. Why not show Megu around yourself?

- Progress in baking for Mei = you can break it with a hammer? >_>
- Poor Mei. She's developed a lot as a person, but this photo shoot is a bit more than her self-confidence can take.

[FUNiOP]

Yamato is just too damn pretty to not end up being a model every now and then, and the direction he's given with perfect model girl Megu-tan sparks a lot of jealousy in Mei.
