Just so everyone knows, the above picture never happened in the anime. No matter what Shizuru x Natsuki fans may want it to.
Finally deciding to finish off my Mai-HiME witty screenshots, episode 23 of the series has the Midori versus Mikoto and Haruka versus Shizuru showdowns! Also can’t forget the questions about undying love and friendship as the last of the HiMEs decide what’s really important them and to what degreee they’ll be willing to fight for the cause.
I’m three or so months late, but here’s my quick review of Mai-HiME Drama Vol 2. The guys definitely get the worse end of the stick in this drama CD… and of course Natsuki gets her fair-share of “torture” too!
Mai Nakahara (Mai), Saeko Chiba (Natsuki), and Ai Shimizu (Mikoto) go the music video root singing their respective characters’ single songs.
I hate to say it, but I think I would have been happier without seeing these videos 
Continuing on with the Mai-HiME omakes, the third volume gave us Shiho’s, Nao’s, and Akane’s short stories. Two stories had the love love feeling while the last one… well, I think you can figure it out 
This is why we needed more Aoi and Chie goodness in Mai-HiME. But also can’t forget it was the navie-ness that is the sword-wielding Mikoto that made Mai-HiME half the fun!
