Yeah, it was a happy ending… a really really horrible one at that. Here’s a short summary:

So, it looks like some time has passed since the events of last week’s episode. None of Yoshiyuki’s friends seem to have forgotten entirely about him yet… but the only ones who are still able to fully remember about him are the Asakura sisters. Proof of this is that Otome has been repeteadly writing his name a bunch of times on her notebook, while Yume is seen visiting the places that she went together with him on their date.

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.

Well, looks like this series is finally coming to an end. There are still like three episodes left, but a lot of important stuff happened in this one, so I’m not sure if there’s still that much material left for them to cover.

Anyways, it starts out with Yoshiyuki searching for Otome all over the town, since nobody has seen her for a while. In the end, he isn’t able to find her, so he heads off to the Asakura sisters’ place where Yume is the only one around. There, for some reason, Yume accidentally begins telling him about how she likes him even though he’s always seemed to care more about her sister than her. Luckily for her, Yoshiyuki is an idiot, so he didn’t pay attention to any of this and just fell asleep. Read more

Indeed, now Otome is the one who’s acting like a bitch while Yume has been able to keep her tsuntsun levels down for quite a while now. Yeah, ever since she had that dream of herself saying farewell to Yoshiyuki, she’s been acting pretty nice to him lately. Meanwhile, now that Otome has learned the truth about her dear little brother’s dangerous situation, she’s been avoiding him every day… wait, how does that help, again?

Also, in the end, grandpa onii-chan (Jun’ichi, that’s it) went and did the same thing as Sakura in the previous episode, and now the only characters I liked in this show are gone because of that goddamned tree’s fault. What’s worse is that it looks like everything so far has been in vain since the magical cherry blossom is still there granting all these corrupted wishes in the island. =/

You know, this episode could have been a lot better, but no… the shitty sutdio behind this had to go and ruin everything like they always do. The only parts I enjoyed were the scene where the Asakura sisters get drunk and when Yume goes all “Na…Na…NaNaNa~” because she had cut her finger and then Yoshiyuki went and grabbed her hand to lick the wound.

Seriously, I can’t even imagine High Schoolers doing something like this on their free time.

Wow, this is like the most boring episode from the overall series so far. It reminded me of that episode in .hack//Liminality where all the characters did was talk in various places. In this one, half of the time was spent on showing Yoshiyuki and Otome researching together about the magical sakura tree and all the trouble it’s causing around the island. Then we get to see old Jun’ichi again having a chat with the kids about what happened in the past dealing with the magical wish granting thing, and in the end Anzu reveals how she managed to obtain her super ability to never forget anything. Really, if all you’re gonna do is talk, then at least do it about something interesting/shocking or that we hadn’t realized before!
