No seriously the past three days I have been kidnapped. I have been held hostage at the mall, antique stores, and every store in between. I have three dollars in my wallet. X__X I am so broke I can’t even buy a vowel. On the bright side I am completely done Christmas shopping for some people for 2012. Yes folks I shop in advance.
XO Sorry I have kept to my own deadlines!
As a result no anime has gotten blogged since Christmas Eve. I am slightly behind X__X. Time to catch up? Haha no I will just keep being behind until probably next Tuesday. Unless I am kidnapped again for shopping. Anyway here is Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi Season 2episode 11!
Err.....that was pretty straightforward....
Episode Summary: The first few minutes were really just scenes from the last episode, with Yokozawa and Ritsu fighting and Takano overhearing the fight. After a business meeting Takano pulls Yokozawa aside so they can talk. Takano wants to know what Yokozawa said to Ritsu. When he gets no answer Takano acknowledges that Yokozawa might have feelings for him due to a brief sexual relationship a long time ago but Takano honestly loves Ritsu. Yokozawa nearly breaks down and says that all these years he has waited for Takano, that when Takano was going through that rough time he was the only person that Takano did not delete from his life. Takano says that he doesn’t feel the same way and despite the fact Ritsu might have hurt him in the past he still loves him. Yokozawa has decided to stop waiting for Takano but needs time to heal. Yokozawa returns to his office and proceeds to bite everyone’s heads off in frustration. When Takano returns upstairs he hears that Ritsu has left to return a library book.
Just a little bit emo....
Takano sets out after him and eventually ends up under an awning with Ritsu as it pours down rain. He tells Ritsu that he told Yokozawa they will not be getting back together as he is in love with Ritsu. Ritsu is like X___X and Takano keeps on talking, about how Ritsu having a fiancée was one of the factors that messed him up back then as well as the divorce and finding out his dad was not his real dad. He also talks about how he didn’t recognize Ritsu right away as Ritsu always blushed during sex. Ritsu gets embarrassed and says well OF COURSE he was only watching Takano from far away at first. Then it is revealed that Takano looked for Ritsu but since Ritsu used a fake name when checking out books he was unable to locate him. This leads to X___X feelings. But Takano takes a deep breath and says he loves Ritsu now and isn’t stuck in the past. Ritsu says he loves him too but the rain drowns out his words and Ritsu won’t repeat it. But Takano takes his hand and leads him back home. Then it turns into sexy time that Ritsu RESPONDS to. This makes Takano happy and we see nothing. :( At work the next day Yokozawa still hates Ritsu but thinks Ritsu is a good worker and as long as he loves Takano things will be okay. Takano flirts with Ritsu in the office…yet tell him some bad news about a storyboard. Ritsu has a spaz attack and all ends well. THE END!
People…..actually said all the words in their minds…and there were no misunderstandings? Pick me off the ground I am SHOCKED. Shocked folks.
Well when Ritsu did confess his feelings the rain did drown out his voice…but later during sexy times when he grabbed Takano that probably spoke louder than words. But other than that NO DRAMA with misunderstandings. I am amazed folks.
I wonder why there was misunderstandings in the first place.....
First Takano is like look Yokozawa tell me what you said to Ritsu. Oh and I know you might still have feelings for me that one time I slept with you and basically made you the most important person in my life. But no that isn’t going to happen again. Ever. Look at Takano being so direct. Could he have been nicer? Probably but he was talking to another boy and they like things that are straight to the point anyway yes?
So much anger. X__X
Yokozawa….well it was nice that he finally explained how he was feeling. Even if it made me feel embarrassed for him. Sticking around someone for nearly 10 years in hopes that one day he would love me back….someone needs more self-esteem. I feel very sorry for him in that regards but not how crazy he was with his Ritsu hating. It makes more sense once we see Takano delete EVERYONE else from his old life and keep Yokozawa around. I can see how he could have been lead on for some time because of that….but 10 years is a long time to wait. A LONG TIME.
In the end I think there should have been more tears and angry feelings. Yokozawa probably needs more than a few days to get over this ACTUALLY being over even if in his heart he knew the truth the entire time. And Takano does have to forgive Yokozawa for what he has done to Ritsu. It is nice that they showed them being mature and all adult like but it didn’t feel as real to me as it could have been.
What was that? The rain drowned out your love confession?
While I thought it was a bit magical for the boys to be stranded under the awning together they were eventually going to talk it out so I guess it doesn’t matter the location. But dude it was just one BAM after another. Did I mention the part when Takano mentioned before his dad was not his real dad? I thought they just got divorced but haha I guess that would be a good reason to leave your wife. Takano kept saying it was a bunch of things that made him “get upset” but he only mentioned the divorce and Ritsu so….
But you ARE a stalker.
I think the most hilarious thing revealed in this episode was Takano trying to find Ritsu only he failed because Ritsu “lied” about his real name. But Ritsu never lied about his name to Takano’s face and Takano never thought to ASK him his name before there was naked penis time. So Takano was having sex with someone and he didn’t know their real name. To me this is hilarious.
I guess missing out on 10 years of awesome sex could make a person upset...
Okay maybe the boys didn’t find it hilarious. In fact had Ritsu used his real name Takano might have been able to find them and NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED! 10 years of misunderstood feelings and not amazing sex (since you know…they were always thinking about the other). Just….I can see why Ritsu would want to hide his name (as he was correct that Takano noticed) but one would THINK that the silly topic of NAMES would come up since last names are used FIRST in Japan.
It was nice thought that Takano explained why he laughed when Ritsu asked if he loved him. Well back in high school. Because Takano’s reason makes sense. Like I just got done having sex with you and you are asking if I love you? But since I don’t live in Japan and am not a boy maybe it is harder to express and understand other people’s feelings. So I understand why Ritsu asked and why Takano thought it was silly.
MOG please kill me now.
The whole embarrassment scene after the fact was the best part of the episode. Takano is ticked at all this wasted time and Ritsu wanted the sidewalk to eat him. Embarrassed Ritsu was fun to watch.
That's right you better love me!!!!
Then of course it was sexy time. Which was the RIGHT time to have sex. Not when Ritsu was confused how he felt and Takano wasn’t explaining the whole story. Ritsu admitted his feelings and Takano didn’t force him. That is the kind of hot sexy boy on boy times I want to see. Well if we were allowed to see them.
You mean sleeping with the boss gets me no perks?!
And then….it was back to business as usual. Yokozawa has some anger in his heart but seems to acknowledge Ritsu is good at his job and isn’t trying to hurt Takano. Ritsu seems to be trying hard at his work. And then Takano is still picking on Ritsu and making his life miserable. Only now they are flirting at work. XD
Awwww young love....fighting and working together all the time. XD
Next week (or you know…it is already up..) it looks like we are mainly getting flashback scenes from high school. Does that mean we will see some real sex…or under the cover action since that is the last time we saw something rated PG-13?!

Yokozawa is...interesting. They decided to focus the novels on him for the time being instead of Chiaki (THANK YOU GOD!!!), and he does all right for himself. I don't know if you've read about the novels, but here's an abridged summary:
The same night as the rain, Yokozawa gets completely shitfaced and wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of the previous night. Out of the bathroom steps Kirishima Zen, the chief editor of the Shounen department. His job is the same as Takano's but a different genre. He's also the brunette walking behind Ijuuin-sensei in episode 7.
Yokozawa spilled everything of his personal life to Kirishima while he was drunk, and Kirishima not-so subtly hints to Yokozawa that they also slept together, which horrifies Yokozawa. Then Kirishima proceeds to blackmail him with nakey pictures that he has in his cell phone. Yokozawa feels that his life can't get any worse.
Only thing is, Kirishima's blackmail involves Yokozawa going on dates with him and hanging out with his 10-year-old daughter Hiyo (Kirishima is a widower). Yokozawa is still awkward with Takano and unsure of himself, but he gets close to Kirishima's family and sort of becomes Hiyo's unwilling "mommy". Through some more angst and stuff, the two finally shack up.
It's a really cute story and a complete breath of fresh air from all the Chiaki shit. You can get the translated novel here: http://september.strawberrywine.org/?p=262
Anonymous-....Yokozawa...being the momma in the relationship....is hilarious to me. I thank you for bringing me this amazing information. Of course no one can have a nice, normal relationship. On the bright side at least this dude didn't love him for 10 years. On the downside....blackmail pictures and drunkie sex. Not that Yokozawa is a saint but dang his life does suck.
And I love how everyone hates Yoshino even though he is painted as the innocent character caught in the middle. Nope no one is buying that.
To Christina - I don't like Chiaki because he's seriously one of the dumbest anime characters I've ever seen!! And I've seen some STUPID characters!! But for the most part with stupid characters, their stupidity is endearing and is fodder for comic relief.
My sister I think put Chiaki's stupidity best: he's stupid to the point of being cruel. I honestly can't grasp how he's known Hatori since they were children, and Yuu since middle school, and he had NO IDEA what either felt for him and was completely oblivious to the fact that they were fighting over him!! If that weren't bad enough, his conduct after Hatori and him became a couple is despicable!! Deliberately avoiding and alienating his boyfriend to not put Yuu off?! Refusing to do boyfriend stuff with Hatori, then getting pissed at Hatori for him being a supposedly improper boyfriend?! And that episode when Chiaki ran to Yuu after fighting with Hatori made me so angry!! You know this guy loves you, Chiaki!! Let you'll let him have wishful thinking because you don't want to deal with Hatori?!
...UGH. Apparently this couple is popular in Japan, but I DON'T KNOW WHY!!!! They personify the archetype for angst couples that I HATE!!!
Forgot to add - with Yokozawa --well, I wanted to avoid spoilers, but-- Kirishima was technically blackmailing him with nothing. He had no nakey pictures and they didn't sleep together while drunk. He just let Yokozawa believe these things because he was worried about Yokozawa's psyche. I guess when Yokozawa was drunk, his behavior made Kirishima think he might harm himself. So Kirishima saw this as an opportunity to "take care of" him and make him feel better. Hey, what's a little blackmail between friends? Or lovers in this case, lol!!
Anonymous- Well that is good to know that Yokozawa wasn't taken advantage of during a drunken stupor. Even if Yokozawa is a jerk he doesn't deserve THAT. Not sure how a lie of that proportion would help but...I guess love is special. Oh so special.
But there is no love for Yoshino and his trainwreck behavior. I wonder why he is so popular in Japan as he seems to be breaking hearts left and right AND doesn't really take responsibility for it. Like when someone tells you that they are in love with you....and you don't return those feelings because you are in a relationship WHY GO ON A TRIP WITH THEM?! Oh and blow your boyfriend off, who has expressed that he doesn't appreciate you spending time with this person ALONE, while you are at it? Then complain you never get to spend time together.
Yeah that sounds so romantic. There is clueless and then there is heartless. Stupid Yoshino.
