Oh dear, Special A Love Triangles..

I just finished watching the latest episode of Special A, episode 17. It would seem the Akira, Yahiro and Tadashi love triangle is picking up rather quickly ^-^

Akira seems to finally be recognizing her feelings for Tadashi, even though he's blind as a bat and can't even see the tell tale signs, as most men usually are.


Akira's Father asked her to go to a marriage interview, seeing as she has no boy in her sights. (or so he thinks) This entire Episode is pretty much based on Hikari trying her best to cheer Akira up as she seems down from some strange reason. Akira, being Akira, chose not to tell anyone about the marriage interview.

In this episode the Special A group helps out at another school's festival, in hopes it would cheer Akira up. Yahiro was given a chance to interact with Akira by recovering her lost cell phone for her. They had a little lovey dovey moment. It meant the world to him, but she was obviously oblivious to it.


Near the end of the episode, Tadashi overhears Akira talking about her marriage interview on the phone. Being the hopeless male that he is, he of course makes careless remarks about it, saying she might find a good guy after all. Bad move, Tadashi, bad move.
In retaliation, Akira slapped that bitch up.


I have to give her kudos for having the strength as I, personally, have never slapped someone in a fit of inner struggle and pain. It looks so alleviating. Or maybe not. Akira ran off in tears to leave poor ol' Tadashi shocked and bewildered, wondering what the heck just happened and using all his male brain power to figure out what he said wrong.

In other Special A love news, Sakura is still deeply in love with Jun, who is also deeply engrossed in running away from her.


And Kei is still insanely over protective of Hikari, who, for a good portion of this episode, was dressed in a pink rabbit suit.


I can only hope that Akira FINALLY confesses how she feels about Tadashi. That is, if she's really certain how she feels herself.

Until NEXT time!

Special A and Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~

Finally got around to watching some special A.

It's pretty alright. A rivalry between a boy and a girl who've known each other since they were about six or so. No matter how hard Hikari tries she always comes up second to Kei. Uncanny, really. BUT.. twist of fate would have it that even though Hikari views Kei as her ultimate rival in life, he secretly loves her.

Everyone together now: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Kei's feelings were released pretty early into the series so I'm not sure where the plot is heading other than lot's of examples of how Kei's feelings are ALMOST explained to Hikari.
Nevertheless, it is a cute comedy/romance anime.



Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~, on the other hand, hasn't progressed very far at all. Actually, the first episode moved along very.. very slowly.
Sora is a young girl who is able to use magic. She was accepted to an internship of Magic in the big city of Tokyo and has to move there and complete it.

Yep.. that's about all we learned in the first episode.

Oh, she also made a promise to her Dad. And can make snow.
Hopefully the plot will pick up in future episodes.
On a more positive note, the background illustrations are AMAZING. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the first scene. They look like slightly altered pictures of actual landscapes. 'Tis truly amazing.
The great illustrations did help to keep my attention. So I will continue to watch Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ if not for the plot, at least for the beautiful backgrounds.
