Sad Usami is sad.

Flavor: Sweet

A new Misaki x Akihiko episode, hurray! This one didn’t feel as comedic as the previous ones, but it was fun nonetheless.

Well, the story basically started last week since, after the credits, they showed the scene where Misaki’s brother talks over the phone with Usami and tells him… that he’s planning on taking Misaki away from him! After the kid hears about this, he gets kinda shocked but he doesn’t really seem to understand why he feels like that. Usami doesn’t say anything about it either so Misaki ends up going to his onii-chan’s place in Tokyo after all.

So, he arrives, his brother picks him up at the station and they have dinner together at home. There, Takahiro starts saying some bad things about Akihiko like how he can get pretty moody at times and stuff, so Misaki gets all pissed off and starts yelling stuff like “What’s wrong with you people, why’re you all always saying these kinds of things about him!?”. Then, after he realizes what he had just done, he apologizes to his brother and his wife and then dashes off to a convenience store. On his way to the shop, Misaki starts thinking about how he has heard people say the same things about Usami before and how he doesn’t agree with any of them… even if he knows that he really does some “horrible” stuff to him (like using him for his gay porn novels) every now and then.

Later, Akihiko is seen talking with Takahiro over the phone and there he learns that Misaki’s parents died when he was just 8, and that he’s been blaming himself for it since he thinks that if he hadn’t told them to hurry up and come back faster the accident that killed them wouldn’t have happened. Ever since then, Misaki has always cared for the people around him without letting them do the same for him. That’s why Takahiro wants to have Misaki around… so he can open up and feel what it’s like to be in a complete family setting.

After a week (I think) Misaki calls Usami and tells him that’s he’s coming back for a while. Usami mentions how he’s been able to take care of everything without having him around, and that makes Misaki feel sorta sad. He finally realizes that he wants to stay by Usami’s side and now is all like “Crap, now I won’t be able to come back…” while he starts to cry. Akihiko notices this and tells him to wait for him there since he’s coming to see him now. So, yeah, he arrives, he hugs Misaki and they do it in the train, lol.

After that, they’re shown going on a date together since it’s Misaki’s birthday… then there’s the whole Marimo thing with Usami and the episode’s over. Phew.

Next episode: Childhood memories with Junjou Minimum.
