Kimi ni Todoke 18
February 12th, 2010
You might be laughing now, but we'll see how you feel when I wrap my long legs around your brother
Summary:
Damn that Vince with the Slap Chop
Sawako can’t get over how cute Ryu and Chizuru are together, but in an ironic twist Chizuru thinks of Ryu as a little brother while her real crush (Ryu’s older brother Tohru) thinks of Chizuru as a younger sister. This sets up an awkward mess where Chizuru spends all her money buying a mitt sack for Ryu and then lamenting that she can’t afford a ruffly mini-skirt to try and seduce Tohru. Ryu figures it’s time to spill the beans, and stops by Chizuru’s room to confess. Unfortunately, before he can even start the confession, Chizuru realizes Ryu’s present is sitting out in the open and so kicks him out before he ruins the surprise. A confused Ryu gets screwed over again and is forced to job home in the rain.
In other sad love news, Ayane gets tired of her stage 5 clinger boyfriend and stops by to tell him how she feels. Never one to accept being dumped, the guy slaps Ayane hard across the face and then sobs in her arms, begging to be taken back. Ayane then realizes that her ex was just fronting, and his real self is pretty pathetic. Sawako is sad she wasn’t there to support Ayane, and Chizuru offers to have a small sleepover party to cheer Ayane up.
Reaction:
I told my brother you have herpes
Chizuru must be one hell of a worker that Sanada-otousan has both his boys working to bring her into the family. Still, this episode reinforced one simple rule: college guys who date high school girls are losers (or perhaps perverts). Even if you’re doing it just to get laid, it means you can’t prey on easy freshman college girls. Watching Ayane’s ex-boyfriend sobbing over her and yet slapping her in the face confirmed all my suspicions about what kind of guy he was. Needy and lame and not pillow-like at all.
This brings me to my next point: Ryu almost made a major mistake trying to take advice from love-n00b Shota. If Ryu confesses to Chizuru now, it will ruin Chizuru’s whole month and mess everything up, triggering a shoot-the-messenger situation. However, since Tohru is almost certain to not reciprocate Chizuru’s feelings, Ryu should make sure Chizuru sees Tohru is out of her league (preferably by setting Tohru up with some smoking hot short chick) and then box out for the rebound. Ryu and Chizuru are already close, and there’s nothing like some vulnerability to make the sparks fly. I call that love-love activation energy.
