I totally thought the same thing. I could go either way in the love triangle, Shu is oblivious to the point of DUH, but I don't think he's a particularly scummy guy.

I can't get enough of this show. The OP and ED are so good and I get sad every time it ends.

Kuranosuke is so awesome!!!! I think he tries to help them because he doesn't want Tsukimi looks so sad. So Cute! I want him to be with Tsukimi.

I can't wait to see everyone dressing up in the next episode. Mayaya looks cool, and Bamba is cute...haha, amazing that her hair can be hidden in such a small wig XD

It was difficult to watch Tsukimi so down after being ignored by Shu. Poor girl. And while I don't believe Shu to be a jerk, he's certainly not very accepting nor particularly nice/kind. He's got a long way to go before he can come close to Kuranosuke.

The afro sealing wig deserves its own infomercial and I've never seen Nicole Ritchie look better lol.

I felt so bad for Tsukimi during the first half, she was all nervous and then Shu didn't even recognize her at the meeting. By far the best part was at the end when Mayaya was revealed, I was like OMG O_O

I can't until the next episode to see what they all look like after a makeover from Kuranosuke.

This.

I don't know what it is, but this anime just leaves me with a stupid grin everytime after watching an episode, and it makes me laugh all the time. Mayaya's transformation was the most awesome thing ever. Also, I'm definitely rooting for Kuranosuke now, Shuu can just go hook up with that trashy woman.

I mean dude, he only cares about Tsukimi's appearance! He didn't even recognize her when she's normally dressed, and to top it all off he wants to tear down her home!

I'm really, really glad I decided to pick this up. I'm loving it so far.

Kuranosuke to me is one of those characters that makes every scene they're in better. If I see him, I know I'm going to enjoy what comes next. Looking forward to next week's ep (I don't know how many times I checked today to see if the ep was out yet, do we really have to wait a week?).

Gawsh I wish I could spoil you guys for the next ep. so bad...lets just say things aren't as they seem so don't view Shuu too badly! It's all that hateful woman's fault as I hope you guys would have gathered by the way she "does business".

Though, honestly speaking, the only thing that irritates me a bit is the fact that Shuu can't recognize Tsukimi. Shuu really needs some sense kicked into him, because she doesn't look all that different. How can he be so dense? This is beyond my understanding, I'm afraid.

Still... Why is this only 11 episodes long?! Man, I'm sure going to miss this show once it ends.


It's like how people don't recognize Superman when he takes off his glasses. It also has to do with how Clark Kent and Superman act differently. Tsukimi acted differently from what (little) he knows of her and changed her appearance. It's not very believable, since everyone outside of the comic book can tell that they're the same person, but within the story...

I don't really get why everyone is calling Shuu a jerk. It's not like he was rude to her. Tsukimi mumbled something along the words of 'hi' and he acknowledged that. Who here in real life would actually make friendly conversation with some sketch looking person they don't know? Some people might if they're extroverted, but Shuu seems to be a very restrained introvert.


Thank you, I am also getting sick of people making Shuu look like a bad guy. Dense as heck, yes. A jerk, no.

Great episode. Anyone else think the best moment was when Tsukimi was in her room next to the window, and her door opens in complete silence and the 4 girls are just standing there? I found that hilarious.

I've never been so enchanted that the time seems to stop while I'm watching ^_^
Anyway, it was a great episode, I root for Shuu as I'm more fond of him, but Kuranosuke sure knows how to rock out!!
His little speech was awesome!
Anyway, can't wait for the transformed version of the girls.

She really didn't need to be polished as much tbh, she was already rather presentable and is (a bit) more adjusted to social interaction than her friends are.

Anyways, I Kuranosuke is awesome, and I really hate to admit that I really prefer his brother over him - at least looks wise. Tall, well-dressed dark-haired men with glasses with (outwardly) cool attitude are just my thing :( Kuranosuke out-of-drag just cannot compete. Sure thing he lost points not regocnizing Tsukimi, but the Clark Kent -thing has been mentioned already.

DAMN DAMN DAMN! I love this show so much! I never want it to end! I hope it gets another season so badly because it's just so good! It's one of the highlights of my week.

My favorite parts were, as usual, Clara's quips ("Here! She's right here!") and Kura kidnapping Mayaya and changing her into...that. It was hilarious how she was constantly posing in front of the mirror. Guess she liked it.

Not as funny like episode 4 but still good. The transformations were funny with many angles shown. This show is well executed that captures anyone attention to the scene.

Damn, I really look forward for the next episode. Shu somehow looks handsome there.

Shu is pretty helpless if he can't even recognize Tsukimi in different clothing. I wonder how far he will go with the career woman. The preview looked pretty suggestive.

Great post, it's hard for people to recognize, as observers, how the characters inside anime should be. Everyone is thinking about it in a perspective as if they are the ones being talked to or the story is told directed directly to them. Take a step back and think about it as if you were the character.

I feel shuu is actually a really nice guy in comparison to his lil bro, who has "supposedly" dated and slept with all the hottest girls out there. Kuranosuke seems like he has had it all and has internal conflict about why he is so jealous since he has had so many women while shu is more pure in his endeavor.

Oh my god! I must admit that I felt as if I was Tsukimi in that episode!
*fails at being stylish and cool*

I'm so glad Kuranosuke decided to do something about that, really. I was amazed to see Mayaya like that, but I guess it suits her best! xD I saw the previews for the next episode and I hope Tsukimi gets to talk to Shuu before that wicked woman does anything to him.

I don't think Shuu was a jerk either. The dude's been virgin all his life so it would make absolutely no sense to suddenly jump in the bed with some random woman just to make a deal. I liked the episode but I would've liked it more if Kuranuske changed the girls' perception of beauty differently. Now I know the girls were prejudiced against good looking people and were too intimidated by appearance and the manga is about fashion and all that but the point is, no one should give a damn about what people wear. It's not cloths what define people. People should be beyond this already. It hurts to say hi to a person one day and give him/her a cold shoulder the next just because they don't look cute. Despite my little rant I have to say I've enjoyed it.

Loved the episode.I was disappointed that the girls didnt try harder at the meeting since it was something important to them they should have at least stayed till the end.The business woman proves just how much people use the way someone looks to decide what they are like and how they will behave.She knows exactly how to get people to do what she wants ;) How can Shuu be so blind to the fact that the same woman he spent time with was sitting next to him? I know she looks different but he should stil be able to reconise her....

Brilliant.

Oh, and Kuranosuke's approach to the makeovers is totally refreshing and wonderful also. I love this show.<3

Being that I have a huge glasses fetish, I probably shouldn't find Shu so very attractive without his on in the next episode >_>

I only hope that the hot bitchy woman will get some development and not just be an unlikeable cliche rival.

I think it's fair to utter the famous statement... "this means war!" And I'm routing for Tsukimi and her friends all the way. I loved this episode despite everyone getting their asses kicked by that new vixen. This should be very interesting. Thought it's not like this show hasn't been very interesting from the beginning.

Oh yeah, come on Kuranosuke! How does your knee lose to a door? Ugh! Now I can see why you wear dresses.

A. Why I'd 'ship for Shu x Tsukimi:

1. I love silent male character, a megane at that too! plus he has a sexy voiced seiyuu.. Suwabe Junichi is <3. I'd squeal like lil girl whenever I hear him.

2. He's mature, in a way... I mean, his manner and the air around him. But his stoic personality may cause a lot of misunderstanding.

3. They'd make a good couple. Both megane. (Hey, don't blame me. I have a thing for megane. 'Sides, I'm wearing megane too.) They will surely live a peaceful, and their home will be pretty quiet. Lol. Shu doesn't seem to be someone who'd easily fall in love. He doesn't have the same expression when he was with that woman, compared to when he was with Tsukimi in the aquarium. He just needed to realize who and where the real Tsukimi is.

4. They both are very similar to each other.

B. Kuranosuke x Tsukimi is not that bad because:
- He knows the real Tsukimi
- He's so fun to be with, he brings out the person Tsukimi never thought she'd be coz he's Tsukimi's first male acquaintance
- He'll probably transform Tsukimi to be a much stronger person
- He and Tsukimi are two very different people and we all know that opposite attraction also means that the both of them will complete each other.

(I'm not going to add more at this point of time.. let it be a fair competition for both of them)

Both Kura and Shu fell for Tsukimi after her transformation and to be exact, Kura realized this as he watched Shu's feelings blossomed before his own eyes. Lol.

Oh, this has turned out to be a rant. Anyways, glad that I'm not the only person who watches every episode at least twice, back to back, simply because I can't get enough of Kuragehime. Absolutely love it.
