Flavor: Sweet

Well, I must say this episode was actually quite good, and I think what really made it so great was that it was mainly focused on Yume (Otome still played an important role this week, but still). I never imagined I’d end up liking Yume’s character this much, and for once I’m gonna give props to the studio behind the series and the game’s script writers for accomplishing something that seemed impossible to achieve.

Err, anyways, what looked like the last episode of the season started with Yume asking Yoshiyuki for a date. The next morning, when Yoshiyuki and Yume were heading together to school they met up with some of their friends. Yume is suddenly shocked to find out that none of them is able to see Yoshiyuki anymore, so she decides to tell him that they should just skip school and instead begin with what they had promised to do on this day.

So, after spending the whole day eating choco bananas, drawing weird faces on the sand and visiting shrines, Yume tells Yoshiyuki that there’s one more place she wants to go with him… which ends up being the school rooftop. There, she begins telling him about how she can see the future and knows everything about Yoshiyuki’s situation… and then she pretty much confesses her real feelings to him. She says some more stuff before she bids him farewell and tells him that her sister hasn’t forgotten about him yet so he should just leave and go after her. Later, Yoshiyuki rushes off to where the magical sakura tree is located at, all while Yume stays alone crying at the school.

Yoshiyuki is able to find Otome there, but apparently she’s already forgotten about him. She starts talking to him about how she’s a magic user of justice and how she had to sacrifice something really important to save the people on the island. Then she begins saying things like “I love my little brother, I want to be with him!” and that’s when Yoshiyuki realizes that she still remembers him.

Unfortunately, it’s a bit late to do anything now and Yoshiyuki begins to fade away. Otome runs towards him and when she’s about to reach him he’s vanished completely. Otome then falls to the ground, notices how Yoshiyuki is already gone and starts yelling to the magical sakura tree begging it to bring his little brother back. THE END… or I guess not.

Next episode: …Yeah, well, there’s still one episode left. It’s called “Meguri-kuru Kisetsu” (something like “the coming/returning season”). You can probably guess what’s gonna be happening on it.
