Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

Now this is what I call a great episode (and my favorite). It was much better than the last (and ended the character-centric episodes) and highlighted my favorite characters: Takako, Mizuho, and Mariya. When the drama was mentioned and the title “Romeo & Juliet” was said I instantly knew the leads were going to be Takako and Mizuho. It was priceless seeing Takako get so flustered when she found out about the kissing scenes. She’s so cute when she blushes. Also, as the title of the episode suggested, Mariya’s feelings are starting affect the way she acts towards Mizuho. I’m pretty sure she likes Mizuho but is struggling with them for some reason. She pretty much reacts that way the entire episode.

But back to the stars of the play, the practice kiss between Takako and Mizuho was hilarious. I’ve never seen such a cute and worked up Takako (and dear lord, she was so red after being kissed on the cheek lol). Something scary happens at the end, however, when Takako approaches Mariya and asks for help in knowing Mizuho’s “true self”. Yikes, could it just be the kiss thing still lingering in her mind or is she starting to suspect Mizuho being a guy?
