Haruka finally gets his day…
Last time we ended on a fairly good note for Risa. Kanzaki was crushed utterly and without mercy, but while Otani has been scoring points he is still sitting upon the electric fence. A dangerous place to be for some one with a chibi-kokoro, especially when there is a male rival yet to show his hand…
Risa is busy messing up her stapling task and get all Hanshin Kyojin with Otani, much to my delight. However Otani wants chocolate for Valentines (or as I call it Singles Awareness Day) and Risa gets cold feet about giving honmei chocolate rather than obligatory chocolates. especailly after the failure of the last operation. Since Otani isn’t getting any this year… chocolates that is from any one else. Its up to Risa to save him from the Valentines munchies.
So like any maiden in love she takes up the task with gusto. While lamenting her lack of funds to buy expensive truffles she runs into Haruka and Seiko. Haruka it turns out is busy dating several different women as training for the day that he and Risa are together. She tells them her tragic tale of rejection and Seiko is 110% supportive of Risa still loving Otani in a very touching otome moment. Haruka is up in arms that Otani had the gall to reject Risa like that and points out that Seishiro is no otome.
So Otani wants to reject Risa’s Candies? Well now my pretty time to put you in drag, muwhahahahaha!
While Otani is gawking at Umibozu info Risa is voodooing him to make him fall for her. Not to leave this sorry situation be Haruka storms teh classroom and smite Otani on his Chibi head. He then decalres for all to hear that Otani is one screwed up punk for rejecting Rias and interrogates him on what he finds wrong with Risa. Desperate to diffuse the situation Risa smites Haruka and drags him to the halls.
Risa explains the situation to Haruka. However Haruka isn’t going to take this lying down. however because of Haruka’s gambit she now enjoys the complete support of the class. Otani is then branded as an idiot, and rightfully so for not accepting Risa’s affections. Otani reveals his apprehension is due to some idiot image of how stupid a kiss between them would look.
Damn Otani declined to duel me. How aggravating. Well now I’ll just have to poison that cowardly knave…
Risa puts much effort into making her chocolates for Otani to the point that Haruka gets none. She tells Haruka that she is altering the deal and to pray she alters it no further. Risa makes her gift box, but Otani has the gall to reject it. Risa confronts himn again and forces convinces Otani to take them without worry. The then share a moment worthy of kiyaa! from this cold hearted bastard.
However Haruka proves his mettle in the end by pulling an audacious switch and eating Risa’s chocolate leaving Otani eat his masterpiece. I applaud this last minute reversal.
Kissu! Kissu!
Impression: I loved seeing Haruka taking a more proactive stance against Otani for his idiot insistence on leaving Risa hanging. The chocolate switch was brilliant conceived from the mind of one who loved Risa in all her glory. Otani has some major self esteem issues if a ridiculous looking kiss is the only thing holding him back. Honestly kissing it self is awkward who cares who is on their tip toes when it occurs.
Poor Haruka he understands how great Risa is but in the end the unappreciative Otani is the one who Risa longs for. Still I commend his training methods involving several women, bravo Haruka. He’s just making up for the times when he was dependent on Risa protection. I fully understand his need to go on a bunch of bad dates at once to become a veteran of dating for the day that will never come, his date with Risa. Still for marshaling unanimous support for Risa he deserves a kissu from Risa even if its going to be a good bye one.
Next time its the long awaited first kissu!

I must admit that I was very annoyed with Haruka for not really considering Risa’s feelings. It is perhaps logical and practical to confront Otani, but not when everyone else is in class. Way to go, Haruka, on embarrassing the girl that you like right in front of everyone in class. That makes your chance of getting her from 0% to …well 0%.
Next said, Risa is WIN.

And so is Risa, actually. Although I’m still much more partial towards Otani.
I LOVE Haruka’s trick with the chocolate. And Otani and Risa’s reaction to it. I totally laughed my head off.
Although the kiss… someone watching may find it funny, but the kissers shouldn’t, I believe, if they really are kissing instead of touching lips.

Fortune Favors the Bold. So what is a little bit of embarrassment the whole class is rooting for Risa. Nothing Haruka could do could devastate her like what Otani has done thus far. I give more props for doing something rather than sitting around with his thumb up his ass. Risa was not crying now was she? Besides she knows Haruka means well and word would have spread eventually, or is this supposed to be some sort of mistress deal? Nay Master, doing the right thing is not always popular some one had to slap Otani for his insolence it mays as well be Haruka, its called karma.

Yes, the Haruka switch was brilliant! Kissing itself is ridiculous hell they can just pretend to be middle schoolers that way Risa height is perfectly normal.
Well I think the sentiment was sweet.
Haruka was just trying to look out for Risa, his heart was in the right place.
I like Otani but he really needs to get over his hang-ups and soon.
Its only because Risa is so awesome that he still has a chance, most girls would have labeled him a lost cause by now.
Risa is definitely the braver of the two. She’s put her heart on the line so many times and he’s worried about how a kiss would look? Silly boy! I wanna shake some sense into him.
Who cares what anyone else thinks, as long as you are kissing the person you’re in love with, the world doesn’t exist anyway!
D.J added these pithy words on Jul 05 07 at 7:36 pmI don’t know though. My feel of what Haruka is doing is definitely for the good of Risa in one way because it pressurizes Otani to re-evaluate what he needs to do for Risa. However, it is a definite PR shooting in the foot for Haruka nevertheless. I will think that there’s a better way to own Otani, yet not embarrass Risa as well.
Kisssssssssssssssssu~ in Episode 13. KISS KISS, FALL IN LOVE~
