This one's just for you, BluWacky ;)

Nozomu, 3rd year middle school student, is moving back to the town he grew up in until a couple of years ago. His father is at an observatory in Hawaii to work, and his mother died when he was a child, so he chose to move back to live with relatives. He has fond memories there.. he often played with these twin girls, Kaoruko and Sumireko. And the twins even made a promise to marry him.. but there's only one of him. That's no problem, both of them together are fine. Awwww ;)

Back to the present, on the way to the place he'll be living he sees a set of twins at a convienience store shopping. He thinks they might be the twins he knows, so he goes inside to look, but they're not. They're Kira and Yura, and are going to be living a more normal life now, instead of being the ojou-sama they were. It's actually their first time in a convienience store. They think Nozomu is kinda scary so run away from him, dropping their wallet. Nozomu tries to give it back, but they keep running away and soon enough he's mistakenly seen as a thief and given a nice slam by Kira and Yura's butler.

To help me remember who is who... Kira has pink ribbons in her hair, Yura purple. Kira's on the left, Yura on the right. Got that? :)

Nozomu finds his way to the place he'll be staying with some relatives, the Sourinji Shrine. There he meets a woman named Miyabi and her daughters, another set of twins, the chou-genki elementary school girls Lala and Lulu, who immediately take a liking to Nozomu. Very kawaii :)

For Lala and Lulu; Lala has pink ribbons and longer hair, Lulu has orange ribbons. Lulu's on the left, Lala on the right. Okay, I think I've got that down...

Later on, another set of twins comes. They're Kaoruko and Sumireko, the twins who used to play with Nozomu. You bet he's happy to see them ("They've gotten so many times more cuter than I could've thought!", and they're happy to see him as well. They'll be going to the same school, so they might be in the same class. Lala and Lulu are somewhat jealous of that ;)

So... Kaoruko has a ponytail, Sumireko no ponytail. That's Kaoruko on the left, Sumireko on the right.

Lulu and Lala bring out their pet goat, Billy (I think that's what his name was. btw, he does the next episode preview), to see Nozomu. It seems like such a sweet thing, but it doesn't like Nozomu that much.. Afterwards, Kaoruku and Sumireko explain a sad tale of love that took place in this town. It's said that the reason so many twin girls live in the town is because of the Futagozuka.

At school the next day, Nozomu meets one of his old friends and his teacher, a very pretty woman named Ai. But he's not in the same class as Kaoruko and Sumireko, unfortunately. But he is in the same class as the twins he saw at the store yesterday, Kira and Yura. It must've been fate! Kaoruko and Sumireko are in there as well when Kira and Yura come in.. I sense some fighting will be going on soon.. maybe ;)

I decided to watch Futakoi becuase I liked the character designs. And I ended up pretty much enjoying the show. But, take that with a grain of salt, since as all of you who've been reading the blog for a while know, my weakness is anything cute. I'm very easily pleased when watching cute stuff :) So even though this isn't exactly the most original or interesting thing out there in terms of this genre, I'll keep on watching. It'll be something nice to watch after a hard day at school :).. It's going to take me a few episodes to remember who's who..
