not enough superlatives to express how i feel about this show - truly an amazing story in this episode - all the hallmarks of great tragedy and romance rolled into one - all's i can say is: "i was moved and it was beautiful...." - so amazing to see the two lovers come together at last - well worth the wait!!! i cried like a wee lassy at the end...

The best episode of this show indeed, too bad is not enought to give a high score overall because the rest was so bland. But waiting the last episode for the final verdict.

4/5

Ok seriously.....THIS WAS THE BEST FREAKING EPISODE EVER
When Ririchyo wrote "For the first time" I just wanted to cry so badly.
And then when Soushi blushed and they hugged I finally did cry.
I don't like romance...but this....<3

Aaaaww.. I'm such a sucker for these things as well.
I can very much sympathize that empty feeling. (favorite episode of this entire pointess series lol)
Whoring yourself to freedom?

First, I really don't understand what happened to make him come out of confinement.
He slept with the maid, did she bust him out then? Doesn't that make him a runaway? A male prostitute? Jumping from every powerful female to gain money? Then to have collected enough for his suitable age to lead a life on his own, but then actually still being attached to the role of a servant? The only thing he's learned is to love something with passion and then run after it. But the respect for himself still remains 0. A true relationship, if you look at it from a realistic level, would never be possible.

Too bad they didn't clear up the things about these rich family houses with their demon histories. Just slapstick fanservice, which makes me actually sad because the series actually has potential in that aspect.

Aside from that, the last episodes purpose only of emotional growth, which I find very important too, but only presenting that with it's everyday comedy is just... as empty :| lol

Even if this episode was fabulous to me, I still... can't give it a better score xD;
They're just a tad bit too late. Because there's no room to build that up upon.

Soushi... Wow.. You have more guts and balls than I ever would have. Holy hell dude, what an episode. Loved every minute of it. Love that he was a player and he lived a lie... except.. how much he cared about Ririchiyo. This is 10/10 for me and I hope they don't screw up the ending.

Soushi gets a +1 from me because of this episode, but this raise does not mean I like him as an overall character: [Throughout the entire anime, he gets very sappy and sparkles whenever he displays his deep affections for Ririchiyo which is annoying. How many times does this part have to repeat itself before one understands that Soushi deeply cares about her?]

Soushi's past is over exaggerated. I think they could have explained his back story in less time. As for Kagerou, I thought he was going to remove his mask in the elevator. XD

Well it was a clan of his kind after all or maybe he could actually turn into 9 of himself, who knows. Sleeping with maid might not help him out of the confinement but that was the first step he learned how to trick and treat a woman.

While I really loved the episode and felt sad for Miketsukami, I cannot endorse the fact that he sold his soul to get out of his life in confinement. Something, somehow is keeping me off from bumping my rating to an 8/10. :/

On the other hand, while the episode was entirely about Miketsukami, Kagerou changed the way I thought of him, just by a simple note that said he was sorry. More like, that one note made him my most favourite character in the Ayakashi mansion. :)

Next episode will be the final episode, and I would have loved to see more, maybe a second season?

As for the other note, really missed Nobara. She is so damn hot! It's a shame that she isn't interested in guys. T_T.

Great episode. It was really nice and sorta sad to finally find out what Soushi had went through. Loved the way they played out his feelings and personality in the past. And that last scene with them hugging each other was just so sweet to watch.

Even though the episode was all about Soushi, damnn I think it showed just as much development for Kagerou in those few short minutes. So he didn't want to write the letter just because of his childish handwriting and not his goofy attitude. And he says he actually regrets it :/ now I feel bad for him as well.

Just one episode left ftl.

It didnt. He only said he lost his virginity to a maid. Slowly he learned from this sexual encounters how to lease the people that came to take care of him which slowly earned him a bit of freedom in his house. Then he managed to womanize the most important woman of his family and it was that one that allowed him a modicum of real freedom which he inmediately used to contact an outsider family (Kagerou's family as we can see) and it was that clan that basically smuggled him out of the Miketsukami clan.

So it was baby steps: being with the maids taught him how to please others. Pleasing important clan members earned him contact with outsiders. Appealing to outsiders earned him freedom from his old clan.

It was a very sweet episode all in all. Yes, Miketsukami basically gets revealed as a psycho but he's more like a psycho in rehabilitation. You can tell he felt a connection with Ririchiyo, and she felt a connection with him too when he revealed his hidden thoughts in the last letter. So yeah, he's a "little" obsessed with our Chiyo-chan but who wouldn't be in his position. Personally I think they need each other, but Miketsukami still needs to learn how to abandon his poker face and show more emotions.

Nice to finally see some backstory to Souishi's character. Nice to hear some Miki Itou too ^_^

The last scene was absolutely beautiful. And last episode next week ; _ ;

God, took me forever to watch this episode, but i finally did. I was expecting it to be animated ever since i read the manga's chapter. I fell in love with Miketsu right after reading it. I love those fake characters, they smile at you, but deep down they're just fake.
The hug was as cute as i thought it would be. This is my favorite episode for sure, i could give a 10/10 for it. <3

Oh my God....Then, the paper airplane in the opening represents the letters. AWWWWWW!!!! Those two are adorbable! They really came up with a good backstory. Of course I'm still wondering what the beginning was about with the multiple Soushis. Well anyway, loved the episode. Only one more! ;_;

That he used sex as means to an end of his slavery is understandable but to think the girls would be PEDO enough to do it with a 10 year old is sick shit! I never though the charms of Soushi would allow them to be swayed so easily. Even if he is a demon and all the though with his appearance is sick shit to think about. Normal person would see him as a innocent boy being enslaved and sexually abused.
That totally makes Soushi not innocent at all and indeed dirty. Totally mindfucked but at least they did not show explicitly.
First of all: being enslaved and sexually abused does not make the victim dirty. To think like that is sick.

However, I agree that the fact that he's a kid when he starts having sex with women is a little overlooked.
Though he enforced this himself to free himself - it's sad and tragic. Being a male child prostitute certainly gives him one hell of a backstory and character development. Weird to press it all into one episode - of an anime that has nearly no development throughout the previous 10 episodes.
