Ao Haru Ride Episode 2: Page 2 (2)

   I'm back from school! The test? Pfsh. (─‿‿─) Don't worry bout it. Haha! Haha.. Ha.. *faints* (￣ ￣|||)Moving on, I will continue on Ao Haru Ride. After Futaba talked to Makita, she continued her way to the office, only to find (Mabuchi) Kou talking to Tanaka-sensei. What were they talking about?

Sassy. (⊙_⊙)

   Obviously, with his sassy / feisty mood, Futaba couldn't help but...

   Ah! She. Is. So. Kawaii. And so dorky, I love her. (─‿‿─)♡Yes, she slammed the door and her sensei was like, "please enter the faculty room more quietly" (￣_￣)・・・ , and handed her the books. She had her hands full so she finds it difficult to open the sliding door so she used her leg. Idk bout you readers but will you do the same? Or am I the baka one here? I'd use my knee, my back, my shoulder, anything BUT my leg. Yes, I'm "smart" like that. *puffs up chest and looking proud* (⌒ω⌒)

 "That looked hard to manage by yourself. Your friends-in-name-only didn't help you I guess?"

"If you think it looks hard, why don't you help me?"

"Huh... no."

   Pfft! Great answer Kou! He fled after Tanaka-sensei called out to him, calling him annoying. Yep. He really stick to his words and not lending Fubata a hand.

Kou's all like: ヽ(￣～￣　)ノ

   Oh well, why not let his doppelganger help instead? I actually likes how Tanaka-sensei took more than half of it from her. True gentleman indeed. ( ◡‿◡ *)

      Moving on, we get to see two new characters, a girl named Murao and another blonde guy, Kominata. I see a love triangle blooming soon. *smirk* (｀ー´)Anyways, When Futaba came back, she sat together with Chie and Asumi. Asumi (I think that's her name. I'm not sure which is which. Gomen.) pointed out where she got the keychain from in her pocket. Futaba said that Makita gave it to her, adding that she was talking to her when she was eating alone.

"She got nerves of steel!" *giggle*
..."Do you really think that's true?"
"What's the matter? If she doesn't want to be alone, she can go and hang out with boys."

   With the last line, Futaba is remembered of her past, she too was like Makita, alone because girls were jealous of her. And that concludes why she acts all unglam and unfeminine on purpose. This snapped something within her, and she speak up her true feelings about it.

   With that, the whole class went silent. Futaba, realising what she just blurted out, tried to push it away saying "Just Kidding!" ☆ ～('▽^人)

But then Makita stepped into the class and said ...
"If you say you hate me... That means you care about what I'm doing, right? Take that!"

   Asumi and Chie then walked off, obviously at a lost for words. Only to inform Futaba that now they know how Futaba really think of them. Yup, friendship = OVER. Futaba then fell silent, thinking that she only doesnt want to be alone but now she already done what she did and came this far. She walked off to head somewhere to be alone. (⌣̀_⌣́)

   As if fate, Kou leaned out from the window, asking what she was doing by herself and "What happened to your friends?" DAYUM. Can he get any meaner? No I'm not mad about it; instead I like it. (*ﾉ∀`*)Futaba replied, saying that it was his fault for pointing it out that she was playing at friendship. Then she stopped, saying it's all her fault with tears welling up in her eyes.

And overflowing too.

   She turned away from him apologising, when suddenly there were guys coming from all directions, thus she was unable to hide her crying. Okay readers, at this point I literally squeal like a pig ヽ(｀(00)´)ノ in my heart because...

   Yes. yes... YESSSSSSSSS. *squeals again* Best part, he looked away, totally oblivious to the guys who walked past commenting stuffs like "Jeez, school's no place to be flirting." Argh, right in my kokoro ♥. While she was being hugged, Kou's scent is nostalgic to her, bring back memories. After she cooled down, ...

"You got lost in pursuing your goal, huh? I guess you were working so hard, you lost sight of that goal."

Give me a moment to let out a fangirling squeal at how he still holds her... (*/ω＼)

      With that, he walks off and told Futaba to stop calling him Tanaka already. It might be painful for him when Futaba calls him that, and calling him Mabuchi might lead to losing the Tanaka she knew so...

"Kou!"

   He stopped in his tracks, commenting "calling by my first name already?" But he doesn't stop her from doing so at all. ♥ No wait, this deserve so much more hearts: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

   I'll stop here. Readers, you can continue by watching how everything ended (which, I assure you is worth watching. I'm just selfish enough to stop it here.) Can't wait for the next episode!

Ao Haru Ride Episode 2: Page 2 (1)

   Hello readers! Didn't go to school today because, well, I rather catch up on my revision (which I didn't do at all yesterday) for my test later on. (¬д¬。) So yeah. As promised, episode 2 of Ao Haru Ride! Seriously, I can't wait for episode 3. (￣▽￣)ノ It will probably subbed and aired later on today or tomorrow. Can't wait.

   Episode 2 started off with the past, when they were playing 'cops and thief'? When the 'cops' team were counting down the 'thieves' ran off to hide somewhere. Futaba went to hide behind a wooden shelter nearby, however when she got there Kou was already hiding. <insert pause moment> (゜-゜)

   She apologised m(_ _)m and said that she will go and find another hiding place but Kou grabbed her by the arm, saying that cops team is on the move. While Kou was looking out, he fell slightly back probably because the cops team were nearby. And at that moment...

   Awwww. Anyways, Kou turned to her and both were surprised at how close their faces were. And then Kou told her to stay there while he ran off to get the 'cops' attention away from the hiding place. But he got caught. *chuckle* (ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉSo cute. Futaba tried to save him but both were caught. Kou thanked her when she attempted to save him. Seems like the perfect and happy days huh? Well...

"We can't go back to those days..."

   Back to the present, this episode mainly focuses on the right friends to have, and basically about the friendship Futaba has. Anyways, Futaba and her friends were eating lunch in the classroom together due to  the incident that happened in the last episode. When she got accused by the woman mending the bun stall of stealing, her "friends" doubted her (¬､¬) instead of helping or listening to Futaba.

"You're just playing at friendship."

   Asumi and Chie stopped eating (except for Futaba) when the boys in the class were talking to Makita.

      Why they have to be so mean? ヽ( ｀0´)ﾉ Anyways, a teacher came over to look for Futaba and asked her to come over to the office to get back notes and books of students in her class. She asked if Chie and Asumi wanted to help her (since they're heavy and the office is far) but both declined. (︶︹︺) While she was walking out, she saw Makita eating alone outside. (It's COLD outside)

    Futaba approached her and they both started talking, realising that she was just naturally cute (I wish I was too. Pfsh.) (｡･ω･)ﾉﾞFutaba noticed a cute keychain she has on her phone, which is just like what she has on her bag. Makita gave her a similar one, saying that it has nothing to do with character when Futaba said it doesn't fit with her unglam and unfeminine character.

"Thanks for talking to me. I know everyone finds me really annoying. I know I put on a cutesy act but ... when I'm in front of boys, I get so nervous, I just do it. But everyone puts on nice clothes and makeup to look good for other people, right?"

   Deep words. With that, Futaba thanked her for the keychain and gave her a hand warmer as an exchange (because Makita's hands were cold).

   I don't like to keep posts too long so next up I'll solely focus on Kou and Futaba. ♥ （●´∀｀）ノ♡

Ao Haru Ride: Page 1

   Okairi Readers. Is the above picture familiar to you? ＼(￣O￣) It's a new Romance/Shoujo anime, Ao Haru Ride, also known as Blue Spring Ride. Okay before I say anything else, I'll give you the synopsis of this anime:

Futaba Yoshioka wants to "reset" her life. In junior high, girls ostracized Yoshioka because too many junior high boys liked her. The only boy Yoshioka liked, Kou Tanaka, moved away before she could tell him how she felt. Now in high school, Yoshioka is determined to be unladylike so her new friends will not become jealous of her. While living her new life contentedly, she meets Kou again, but he now uses the name Kou Mabuchi and has a cold attitude. He tells her that he liked her too in junior high, but feels differently now. Will Futaba be able to continue her love that never started three years ago?

   Okay I'll be honest. ( ･_･) When I saw this before in the "upcoming anime" section, I didn't really appeal to me at all. Let's just say...

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?? (」ﾟヘﾟ)」

   This shoujo anime is awesome. (*°∀°)=3 I'm so glad I was finding for new anime because I realised that there isn't much shoujo genre at all. All I have is Glasslip. *cries* ( ≧Д≦) But never fear, this is the new Shoujo for me. And I'm so so so so happy!! ヽ(*≧ω≦)ﾉ I'll give a brief summary about episode 1, and then I'll move on to episode two in the next post.

   In episode 1, we get to see how they both met in Middle High. Futaba was running from school because it started raining. There was a shrine in her neighbourhood, where she took shelter for awhile. There, she met Kou Tanaka. (She calls him Tanaka)

"It came down... pretty suddenly, huh?"
"Yeah..."

   After an awkward silence passed, Futaba blurted if he will be going to the Shrine Festival after seeing a poster on the ground. She turned red and started to blabber when Kou went over and drape his gym shirt on her head to dry herself off. (Don't worry he hasn't worn it yet, that's what he said) ♥

   Well, anyways, they start to hang out more often after that until an incident happened. A classmate of hers (guy) start asking/annyoed her along the corridors if she is going out with Kou. She then shouted "I just hate all boys!" ヽ(｀◇´)/ , not realising that Kou just came out from his class. Ouch, I know. 

   With that, he left. when I said left I mean not just the scenario but also left school without meeting her when he promised to. Oh cmon, he's not that sensitive. Basically he left school because he had to move out.

   Three years had passed, and people change:
   Fubata became.. well.. Less "cuter". （￣ε￣＠） She purposely changed herself to fit in with others because when she's in Middle high, all the girls hated her due to jealousy. She's naturally being herself. So now she changed, having "fake" friends (that's what Kou called) and always making herself be unglam.

Let's be a seal shall we?

   Tanaka Kou became... hmm... he became Mabuchi Kou. Due to his parents divorcing, he changed his surname. He's more quiet and mean, especially towards Fubata. Oh! He became hotter too. (●♡∀♡) My type of anime guys, dark-haired and cool. ♥

Anyone agrees with me that whenever he does this it's cute as FUDGE? (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

   Anyways, sorry for the long awaited post. I can't manage it by myself for these few days because exam week is starting tomorrow! OMG I haven't study yet!! Episode 2 & 3 will be posted up soon! Stay tuned!
