It’s almost a given that many initial pairings will have a tiff or split at one point or another even if they end up back together in the end. After all, if everything were happy and peachy with no surprises or drama, it would be a pretty boring show.

Even though Kouichi and Yuumi have a strong relationship, his reaction to Mao’s confession leaves me wondering if he might do something about it. In the end though, I still feel that Mao will go back to France alone. Kazuki on the other hand sees Asuka more as a sister than a lover so I just don’t see anything happening there. He just won’t leave Eriko alone anyway and she won’t be particularly bothered by it either.

Eriko is going to become an emotional basket case at some point and will likely rely on Kazuki to help her through it. When all is said and done, Eriko will finally be able to feel love for Kazuki and they will become inseparable.

Well, that’s my take on it anyway. Now for some udon… let’s go to Santonaka’s for lunch!

Good episode recap. I definitely agree with the whole thing about Sakino. She’s really unselfish and deserves Kazuki more than Futami, in my opinion. I don’t under why so many ppl hate Mao x Kouichi though. They looked like a great couple from the first episode, and the fact that they end up together after they almost went their own separate ways in their love life comes as a pleasant surprise to me. I think it would be a disaster if all the people who are initially paired off like KazukixFutami, KouichixYumi, and KaixMao end up together. Like it or not, I think a KouichixMao ending would really make this a successful series because people in Japan go crazy for childhood friend romances.

wow. mao finally said it. it took 18 episodes to get to this point?? i support the mao x kouichi pair-up even though many are on the mao hate-train at this point in the series lol.

and a ‘school days’ ending would be pretty awesome. :D

No offense to Mao fans, but currently I’m with Aroduc on this one. The prospect of having her and Kouichi get together is a disaster in the making for the anime.

Awesome review.I love the way you write, but that doesn’t mean I agree with all of your opinions. Or maybe I just don’t want to admit that I do. Mao x Koichi 4evers!!!!

I’m predicting…that Kai will sleep up with Yuumi just to get back at Kouichi and Sakino will poison Futami in her sleep!!!! That would actually make this series more interesting….kinda like a ‘School Days’-like twist….

The KimiKiss raws are usually out by Sunday afternoon. It takes days for the subbers to do their thing. Veoh, YouTube, Crunchyroll… I usually don’t see the subs till about mid week.

There is a user on Veoh.com named ‘wapico’ who posts the raw’s pretty quick (ep 18 was up yesterday). He names them Chu~~ Ep** (replace the ** with the episode number). When you do a search, leave out the ~~ or you will get a no videos found message.

I agree with Randomness, Eriko does like Kazuki but just can’t or won’t admit it. She’s afraid to risk the pain of emotional attachments but I think she will come around eventually. I think Mao may cause some ripples with Kopuichi’s and Yumi’s relationship but I expect to see her return to France alone in the end.

I think Sakino should just back off and let Kazuki be with Futami. It’s obvious she likes him even though she doesn’t have the slightest clue. Kouichi should just end up with Mao, Yumi is too…. for him.
