Midori no Hibi 10

We start off in a pretty comedic tone with Seiji and his underling with some girls doing some Karaoke. Seiji really likes this one girl (*pssst*, Seiji, it's Takako, you idiot!) and when they play the Ou-sama (no meirei wa zettai!) game Seiji and Takako have to do something... Takako can't stand having her first kiss with Seiji in something like this so she punches the daylights out of him and runs away. And that's all the funny stuff for this episode as...

Kouta, a childhood friend and classmate of Midori's is properly introduced this time. He asks Seji to visit Midori's house, but refuses since Midori doesn't want to do it. Then we have a lengthy flashback to Midori's first day in high school. She's very shy and stays pretty much to herself (much like I was when I was that age). She wishes she were more confident.. and as we go back to the usual time for Midori to write in her diary.. cue the ominous portent.. thunder and rain... she begins to wonder if it's really okay for her to stay as she is.

This episode went over a bit better with me since we've finally gotten to some more character building for Midori. Still haven't learned why she's like she is (assuming that'll be soon), but still. Richard is probably right that there really isn't enough time to do the drama of the manga properly, so to focus on the comedy would be better. Maybe I've been a bit too harsh. I have enjoyed watching so far :) I'm just impatient ;)
