Well, it's obvious it was chief because it was clearly his voice talking to Riku's father's partner.

I knew the mayor would end up saving them :D

And Nino, I just can't get enough of her <3 The conversation between her and Rec's father was nice too. It's certainly an interesting way for a parent to meet their child's lover to see if they approve or not. That wasn't the father's original intention, but it did turn out that way~

"he might be "that man" who is secretly protecting Nina's true identity and is her guardian (in anime they have same voice actor)." - Chief's character page.

But if he can influence the cabinet minister in his favor (and not the Ichinomiya Group), then doesn't he have really strong authority?
I thought yakuza. :O

amazing episode!!

anyone find it funny when Nino was talking about Lightning and clouds since her voice actor Maaya Sakomoto also voiced Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII XD





Maria is sooo sadistic and lovable at the same time XD



wow so Kappa is really a powerful figure head huh XD

Kappa to the rescue!!



and lol it's the exact same scenario on how Ric met Nino for the first time, but this time it's his father XD



i really love this kind of expression!!



i wonder the girl in the pendant is Ric's wife or his daughter?

since he seem the type where only males can only accept the inheritance of his family's legacy



character art!!!

Nino is really something for forgetting about Riku, but managing to remember his dislikes/fears.

LOL Nino if you could use the fishing rod to grab the pants then use it to grab Kou's pants in the first place!

Kinda guessed Kappa would be a business man.

God can't Maria turn into her kind self for once? She's starting to annoy me greatly. One problem I have with this show is, it doen't show many heartwarming scenes of Riku's new family. I mean sure I get that they are weirdos but I don't really see if they care about Riku as they do for each other, apart from Nino of-course. Even Ric was rude there, throwing the cookies away (but at least it made sense)

Tbh I don't get Nino x Riku either, don't know from where they got the development for their current relationship, it's not that solid. First few episodes were very solid in terms of development but then it went meh as Nino stopped getting as much screentime as they was getting before. I do like the idea of them together but for God sake, at least show some more development between them...

Man this show had so much potential in the beginning but the over-wackiness ruined it a bit.

Liked the parallel between this and the first episode,lol.

And wow, Ninos and Kous lines in this episode were just so sweet and heartwarming.

In the end they didn't reveal who cancelled the plan and why they did it :(

Edit: Wait it was Kappa!? I didn't notice at all! Wow, would love to find out the backgrounds of all these guys.

Sawashiro Miyuki's voice is always a treat, but because I'm not into sadistics play so Maria's jokes don't really get to me... especially in this episode.

I was hoping that Riku's father would actually hear what he said, but I was also happy that Nino was the one who heard it.

Kappa... I thought the secretary was Kappa... but seems like Kappa is the man wearing the traditional clothes.
