[ Episode 2: Pride ・ Pro Wrestling ]

It must suck being Eternally Second.

This was a rather fun episode though I think it had a little less impact than the first episode. I say that because the conflict in this episode never really felt urgent or worrisome. After all, Hikari and Kei are the two top best in the school at pretty much everything. So when I saw the two huge wrestlers they had to fight, I automatically knew they’d get pounded by Hikari and Kei. Granted I did enjoy seeing Kei be protective of Hikari such as when he was worried about her being ambushed, but it was obvious that the entire handcuff thing didn’t need to happen for it to be shown. Kei or even Hikari could have simply snapped those things in half from the beginning so the sense of “OMG what are they going to do” was pretty absent. Still, it showed that the two care for each other quite a bit and so far we know Kei has more than just normal feelings for Hikari. It was best displayed at the beginning of the episode when he got really jealous after Hikari told the Student Council guys that she loves men who try their best. Seeing his dark aura was absolutely hilarious! Hikari, however, seems to be completely oblivious of Kei’s feelings so it looks like it will take a while before they confront each other with their feelings of romance.
