life line by line

Momo and Touji become an couple…. sorta.

I have to give props to Peach Girl for being one of the more “realistic” slice-of-life animes out there. It’s pretty cute watching Momo make her way through her first relationship with Touji and the problems that come about. Even if 90% of those said problems are all Sae-related ones Also having Kairi as a type of comedic relief doesn’t hurt either as he’s always great for a few Momo-induced beatings.

I guess the biggest issues in this episode boils down to Momo and Touji trusting one another while dealing with the b*tch that is Sae. Only Momo (and to some extend Kairi) know of Sae’s true nature so it makes it next-to impossible for Momo to convince Touji of Sae’s evilness. And what’s worse… Sae moves into Momo’s territory and tries to take Touji! That evil evil bitch! One thing leads to another, and eventually Momo sees Touji and Sae kissing totally destroying her love-love world. Ironically, Kairi does the right thing for once and acts as an true friend comforing Momo in her time of need (though it’s not to say he doesn’t act like his normal player self at times). Episode ends with some mis-communication thanks to Sae, Touji and Momo thinking the wrong things about each other, and Touji trying to force a kiss from Momo at the same spot he got kissed by Sae!

Even though I totally hate Sae, I have to give my respects to her seiyuu Megumi Nasu for doing an 200% excellent job portraying the role. She makes Sae just so deliciously bitchy evil that one cannot but hate her (in a good way?). Sae’s type of “evil” is rarely seen in anime nowadays, so it’s an refreshing change from the normal. I’m also hoping in future episodes we learn that Sae as other reasons for trying to be #1 other than petty popularity…. because otherwise, I just can’t forgive such bitchy-ness and the terrible things she has done to Momo. That ain’t right yo!
