Futakoi 12

It's been a month and Kira and Yura still haven't come back to school. Valentines' Day is coming up in a few days so Kira and Yura want to go back but Kenmochi won't allow it. So Kira comes up with a plan to sneak out and give their chocolate to Nozomu.

While Kaoruko and Sumireko are out shopping for ingredients to make chocolate Sumireko has something to tell Kaoruko.. on Valentines Day she's going to do the kokuhaku thing. She's gotten worried about how Nozomu's been acting with and without the Sakurazuki sisters around. If she doesn't do it now she feels like they'll take away Nozomu. Sumireko asks if Kaoruko will support her and Kaoruko hesitates a second then says yes.. She can't tell Sumireko how she feels about Nozomu now, that she likes him as well... Meanwhile, Nozomu worries over things as he's been doing recently, wondering if it's all his fault.

Later on as Kaoruko and Sumireko make chocolate it turns into just about a shouting match, as those differences come through once again, and Kaoruko finally tells Sumireko that she likes Nozomu, too. Sumireko feeling she was behind, Kaoruko feeling that she couldn't be as reliable as Sumireko, so on... that legend comes up again about the twins that loved one man and suffered and eventually turned into birds and flew away.. but regardless, now they're going to be more honest with themselves and give Nozomu chocolate together.

And so Valentines Day finally comes and Kira and Yura sneak out and find their way to the school and wait for Nozomu outside the gates. Nozomu comes out, however, Kaoruko and Sumireko catch up with him... (excuse me for a moment here)

一条姉妹の告白キタ━━━━(゜∀゜)━━━━ッ!!

And they finally confess their love for Nozomu as they give him their chocolate. He's just a bit shocked at this... Kaoruko likes him, not Yuuya!? He takes the chocolate, but not very enthusiastically.. Kira and Yura saw EVERYTHING.. they rush out and ask Nozomu to take their chocolate as well, they like him, too, and won't lose to the Ichijou sisters. Kenmochi comes driving up and tells Nozomu that Kira and Yura will be transferring to a different school and says that they won't see him again..

As Kira and Yura go, Nozomu runs home to the 双子塚 Futagozuka and wonders about that legend.. there's no way it should be true...

As for Nozomu.... don't be an indecisive bastard like Takayuki!.. he doesn't seem to be listening to me since he was a complete idiot this episode :P But now he has to do something since Kaoruko and Sumireko confessed to him.. but who will he choose? No way he'd go with Kira and Yura instead of his childhood friends, right? From the preview it seems he'll be doing something to keep Kira and Yura from having to transfer.. We shall see in the last episode of Futakoi next week. It better be a happy ending.. I can't take anymore angst, dangit! ;)
