Lovely Complex 13: Risa’s Warpath

It turns out America has changed Impz more than I could have imagined. Westside indeed.
Impz has now taken off on his vacation and all communications have since then ceased he has failed to answer any hails. I can only assume that Thirteensugars has him locked up in some basement… At any rate I finally finished tweaking my computer with a new motherboard and a floppy/SD card reader combo along with a nice sweet 2 GB ram upgrade. Just in time for E3 no less. In other news it appears that Lovely Complex is slated for more than 14 eps, putting it in the 24 range I suppose. So more Hanshin kyojin, huzzah!
Much to my aggravation we are yet again treated to a rather lengthy recap of Risa beaning Otani with the honmei chocolates. While it was a funny scene I can’t help but feel that this is some sort of cost cutting measure. Still Otani bicthes about how there was a pinked shaped turd on his chocolates and still insists on berating Risa for Haruka’s bold opeartion. Risa walks off pissed and mopey lamenting that the only kiss that she can imagine looks heinously funny. They get into some argument that escalates into threats from one another of bringing the other to court. We all know of course the Risa will win any case against Otani, nobody ever convicts otome no one….

You don’t get honmei choco because you are a cheat Otani. Kissing Seiko so passionately like that…Oh I see you burn with passion just thinking about it.
Risa storms off to the mess hall galley cafeteria for a pow wow with her warchiefs, Seiko-chan and Nobu-chan. Nobu-chan devlivers a thunderclap in the form of a bady drawn sketch remarking that Otani could not eve reach Risa’s lips. Seiko-chan advocates a “take him by force approach” as that was what allowed Seiko-chan to kiss Otani int he first place. Risa gets despondent and quips that she doesn’t even want to kiss him. Seiko-chan then inquires about why she even wants to be his girlfriend is for holding hands, kissing, or getting hawt and heavy? Leaving herself wide open Nobu-chan bites back stating that as long as they can both go cheer for Umibozu that Risa can be happy.
The next day Otani gifts Risa with front row tickets to umibozu, and the both of them are happy and giddy. Until Otani fails to show up for school. Turns out Otani is sick, as in diseased, so Risa goes off on a quest to see him after getting a map to his house. Despite her nervous disposition she is welcomed by Otani’s family who promptly take her to his room. Seems that they think A-chan (Otani) has a girlfriend which he swiftly denies being the jerk that he is. So A-chan and Risa get some alone and after talking for a bit while peeling oranges. A-chan slowly leans in and Risa leans in and and and… Kissu. Risa Has her first kissu! A-chan is so overwhelmed that his face falls into the cake. Risa being the smart flustered girl that she is promptly leaves before things escalate.

A-chan let’s have dinner in your room. What the heck was that about? Hey you don’t think…Yeah he needs Risa, badly.
On the day of the concert Risa shows up sick and A-chan remarks how he had blacked out and wishes to know about the rest of the comings and goings that took place in his room. Risa is now furious that A-chan forgot about their special moment and smites him for is ignorance.
Impression: For committing such and unforgivable crime as forgetting their first kissu Otani is hereby stripped of his name. From hence forth he shall only have the name of A-chan. I like how Seiko-chan is helping out Risa her puppets explaining the birds and the bees to Risa was funny. Still it is true that Umibozu is the only way for Risa and A-chan to get along fine. However despite what small progress Risa has made on the A-chan front taking it by force is probably not going to happen any time soon. Next time they better at least hold hands and hug.

Ganbatte Risa! Your wish for some yaoi action shall be granted.
In the next episode Risa has a crush on Maity, and A-chan better get the hell out of her way. I assume that Risa’s latent yaoi fangirl is about to awaken as Maity has expressed interest in A-chan. Go Risa the fires of a otome’s passion for yaoi has no equal, may your dreams come true even if only in doujin-shi form.

Crusader, I think you’ll love the next episode. *evil grin* Either that or throw something. Well, that was my reaction/urge anyway.
Otani has got to be one of the densest male character ever. Fortunately he has enough personality and charm to not be relegated to one of those spineless romance male leads.
Not sure how I feel about them dragging the story out another 12 episodes. While I do enjoy Lovely Complex, I wonder how long I have to watch the two of them dance around the issue. Please don’t tell me that I’m not going to see them officially get together until episode 24’s 20 min 59 seconds. -_-”
Aloha from Long beach!!!!
hahaha, this episode is definitely very cool in which they had such a cute
“kiss” at the very end. Nevertheless, Otani continues to piss our dear goddess for some strange reason. Sigh
@Impz, its because as Briar said, he’s dense!
@Briar, Let’s just say Maity can peform magic!!!!! ^-^ However jealous A-chan got when Haruka first arrived on the scene, is NOTHING compared to how much he’s going to HATE Maity.
I have to admit one line in the manga had me fangirling because it was so cute in an Otani way. It was the cutest scene I can’t wait to see it animated.
For once it was Risa being dense, but then again it wasn’t really her fault since Otani hadn’t really made things clear. Sorry it will make sense when you get to it, I’d say more but I don’t want to spoil it for anyone.
@Briar
Still waiting for the sub…Hopefully Maity will cometh with flair and punch.
The way I see it A-chan needs to redeem himself, badly. As for more eps I could use some more fun with Haruka and Seiko knocking A-chan around a bit. This Maity fellow maight even turn out to be teh awesome
@Impz
Oh now you show up. Maity is coming to make A-chan most uncomfortable yes?
@D.J
Hopefully I will be able to spot this significant event. Subs take too damn long.
@Crusader, I know it seems like it takes forever, although sometimes I am amazed at how quickly they can get them out.
In some ways I find it annoying how with mangas like Hana Kimi it can be already entirely out and scanned online, but Viz has yet to complete the series.
If scanlators can already have it finished what the hell is taking them so damn long?
Considering they started Hana-Kimi before Bleach, but are already ahead in volume numbers for Bleach. Priorities I guess. Still its a little frustrating.
