For your last query.

…one word, No. If i forsake them, i will have 0 girls already, rofl! Well, i am no hikki too.

Here’s my rebuttal for your first refutation. By what you’ve stated, would you, by any chance, be implying that Yasuhara wants to be found out by the ghost hunters? In which case, Yasuhara’s reasons for being the “mastermind” of the whole summoning Sakauchi’s ghost and do the school haunting still eludes me (Althought I’m starting to think that that could be a guy thing, only guys can understand). And if indeed Yasuhara is as intelligent a villain as you presume him to be, then shouldn’t he have made it certain that Naru will have no way of refusing his request the first time he asked, and at the same time, get close without fail all in a smart-way without having to insist?

As for your refutation of my third reason, I hardly doubt him suffering the same tribulations would make him any more or less suspicious nor will it increase or decrease the possibility of him springing a surprise because it would only make him out as the fool in the end if he is the culprit you’re pointing him out to be. And being a fool is not something an intelligent person/villain would want to do. He was nauseated through his own fault; I think that would go against your clever-villain profile. Also, it seems to me that by what you said, you’re now putting everyone and anyone under suspicion. After all, we’re not even certain of how much pressure the others, who are also suffering the haunts, are under nor are we sure if Yasuhara is the person under the most pressure.

Anyway, I think this debate is better to be continued with the next episode, and as you can see, I’m also of a single-mind to prove that Yasuhara is not the mastermind. ^^

By the way, if I may be so bold that should I win, would you forsake all the green-haired lolis??? (lol j/k j/k j/k)

*runs off before I get stoned by the yaoi comment*

Personally, I think that the need for Masako appearing is growing every single minute. Mai is most fun when Masako starts flirting with Naru and it is so fun because Mai expresses herself so clearly all the time.

@13sugars: Hmm, i will have a few things to refute in your argument. I do not have any answer for the first reason because it is clearly possible. the 2nd reason is however logical if I am the criminal. First, when he asked, it was more of a qualification style of talking, so it is much less suspicious. If he had given up the first time, Naru will also not take him seriously, hence making his plan to get close to fail. He is an intelligent boy, which means that it does require him to insist but doing it in a smart way.

The third reason is also problematic for me. Yasuhara will be made less suspicious since he is also suffering from the same situation. The less suspicious he is, the greater the possibility that he will spring a surprise out in my humble opinion. Yes, you can tell i am on an one track mind to name him as the mastermind, ahaha~

I still have no inkling what the reason will be if Yasuhara is to be the culprit though. that might be a negative point for me to find an answer for. I might comment again if i can think of any.

Yep.

For some reason I thought the voice actors sounded very differently than how I remembered. Did anyone else feel the same way???
Maybe it’s caused by the lack of Mai-ness for the past two weeks…

*deep breath*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

But ok, I hadn’t seen episode 14 yet, so I really can’t say. But I shall continue on my adamant belief that Mai and Naru are great looking together and that they are just denying the inevident. Naru is not yaoi!

My reasons why Yasuhara is not the mastermind are:

This episode could be the same with the Doll arc episodes and the Two-timed lady episode. There really was no “alive

@Na: ehhh?

@Ricaryx: Be corrupted, man! Oh no, the yaoi image is definitely forming and ghost hunt will turn to a bishie-filled series. *shudders*. On a slightly more serious mode, I am glad that I am not the only idiot that thinks of Yasuhara that way. I actually had that idea after the monk talked about the pressures of the school. Ghost hunt tends to give the background of how the crime person will act in the first episode and the basis seems to be a strong hatred for the school and strong pressure. Hence, the man who is always smiling and having the greatest pressure is none other than Yasuhara. That is why I deduce it.

@LKK: Yes, your manga summary helped a lot because I went totally @_@ at the school name and Yasuhara’s name was just way too hard for me to write it down in words, so it’s good that i have the names ready.

Woot, I wonder how it will go.

I’m glad my manga summary helped you out.

I’m not laughing at your Yusahara theory. It’s actually a good supposition. Time will tell if you’re right or not.

I’m sure I’ll come back and comment again as I think over what you wrote.
