life line by line

After some Initial D type driving thanks to Miyabi, Nozomu and the gang arrive at the Sakurazuki villia (more like mansion + hotel) for some fun and possible love confessions!

Everyone pretty much chills at the Sakurazuki villia, having fun ranging from river fishing to outdoor barbecuing to hide-and-seeking to love confessing. Nozomu becomes the mack-dawg as he gets some quality time with Sumireko and Kaoruko reminiscing about various past stuff whle getting the Sakurazuki twins jealous.

Kira and Yura Sakurazuki fix the situation when playing their second round of hide-and-seek with everyone. Nozomu is looking for a hiding spot, and the twins allow him to hide in the room that was originally off limits in the beginning of the episode. Apparently only “special people” can enter the room, which at this point being Nozomu and their father. The room? Kira and Yura’s deceased mother’s room. There the two sisters confess their feelings for Nozomu, asking if they can fall in love with him. Nozomu has a chance to back out when they hear the Ichijou twins looking for them, but being the pimp daddy he is doesn’t do so. The three end up going up to the roof, gazing at the stars while Kira and Yura make themselves more comfortable by lying against Nozomu. Last shot goes to the Ichijou sisters looking up at the same stars, wondering what has been going on with Nozomu.

Good episode in the sense that the Sakurazuki sisters actually get some screen time and some personality grown. Bad episode in the sense that Nozomu sort of “rebounds” and goes with the Sakurazuki sisters instead of the Ichijous. I can understand the man’s needs to “soil his oats” as much as possible, but come on Nozomu! Decide on one set of twins and stick with it! If dating sims have taught me anything, nothing good can come out of juggling multiple girls. Nozomu is just going to get burned at the end if things keep up (though I would like to see the follow suffer and end up with no one but Billy). >=D
