Futakoi 6

  
  

Nozumu sees his grade for finals and it ain't too good. But finals over means that it's summer break. And that trip to the beach with Kaoruko and Sumireko ;) Keisuke finds out that Kira and Yura are going to be going to cram school over the summer, so of course he wants to be wherever they are and drags Nozomu to the school, where they run into Kaoruko and Sumireko... and another guy? He's Yuuya, and he's pretty dang smart. Always wanted to build rockets. He was a friend of Nozomu's in preschool, and went to elementary school with Kaoruko and Sumireko. Needless to say, Nozomu starts to worry...

Yuuya tutors Kaoruko and Sumireko a lot and that makes Nozomu worry even more about whether or not he likes one of them... Yuuya suggests that everybody go to the beach to launch his bottle rocket and do the usual stuff. And Nozomu was thinking he was just going to go with Sumireko and Kaoruko...

At the beach the guys finally see what they've been waiting for, including the head of the Ichijou Sisters Fanclub who got totally knocked out by what he saw ;) Nozomu's not in a great mood at the beach.. he and Yuuya talk a bit. And it turns out Nozomu was right -- Yuuya's liked Kaoruko ever since preschool and he fully intends to do the big kokuhaku thing soon... As they go home on the bus Nozomu sits there still depressed. Kira and Yura, trying to cheer him up, invite him to come to their summer house.. but they invite everybody else, too.

---

So the depressing and more serious trend continues from last time... hopefully Nozomu will get out of this rut soon. Something like that always happens sooner or later. Well, that leaves him with Sumireko, I guess (and that takes care of that little curse from last time, doesn't it?). Ed: Well, that is if Kaoruko says yes to Yuuya. It's likely that Kaoruko would rather be with Nozomu, as AnimeOtaku pointed out in the comments ;) Overall, there hasn't been quite as much silliness these past two episodes: no Billy trying to kill Nozomu, just those Ichijou Sisters Fanclub guys (which I could do without). But anyways, we'll see where things go next time at Kira and Yura's. More character development would be a nice thing :)
