This bunny is going to haunt me in my nightmares.

Hikari notices Akira has been feeling pretty down lately, so she decides to invite the entire SA gang to some kind of festival that’s being held on the school Sakura and Yahiro are at. There, Akira somehow loses her cellphone so everybody goes to search for it. In the end, Yahiro is the one who’s able to recover it, yet he doesn’t want to be the one who gets to give it back to Akira. Hikari convinces him to take the credit for it, though, so he goes and hands it in to Akira personally. After he does so, Akira thanks him with a smile on her face and Yahiro blushes.

Junjou Romantica gets a new season. Apparently, it airs in October. Looking forward to it, I guess.

Flavor: Sweet

So, just after Sakura idolizes Jun some more and asks him to go out with her, he immediately rejects her… and the rest of the episode is spent with Sakura chasing after Jun and him running away from her (with the help of Ryuu and his twin sister, of course). Apparently, Jun doesn’t want to date Sakura because he’s afraid she might become a victim of his ’secret’, just like it happened with a girl he liked in the past.

Honestly, I wasn’t really enthusiastic about blogging episode 02. It was quite boring and the animation was just horrible. It was pretty much filler anyways, with Eiji joining the Antique Bakery staff being the only relevant thing that happened in the entire episode.  The rest was just some side-story about a guy who’s also into boxing (just like Eiji) and his girlfriend. Nothing special, really.

Now, episode 03, on the other hand…

Yes, I want one of these too.

Akihabara date! Loved this episode… lots of blushing and romance cliches. This, alongside the lack of Yuuto’s annoying sister and the slutty teacher, made this episode much more enjoyable than the first one. I really like the show the way it is now (with them only focusing on Yuuto and Haruka), so I hope none of the female characters they introduce later will end up ruining the series for me. For now, I’ll keep an eye on that pantsu-flashing girl who Yuuto met in Akiba (who I believe is called Shiina).

Oh, and poor Haruka. In the end she wasn’t able to find any PDS (or whatever they were called) available in the store. I know if I were in her situation I’d probably feel the same. Also, I really liked the princess-style carrying scene that followed after this event… it was probably my favorite part from the whole episode.

Next episode: There’s no preview… they just show the title of next week’s episode and that’s it.
