Same here. Mr. Lee was quite the surprise.

Things look they are about to get much more interesting!

HOLY RA!
My head asploded with the ending. It didn't help that the episode was quite sad already.

That departure. That momentous change in the routine and peace of their lives.

That TWIST at the end.

Wow, I thought Mr.Lee was really just a nice dude who was a big fan of both Nenene as a person and her as an author. The way the show portrayed him totally seemed like it, even if he was a little huge of a fan. I have to imagine at least a decent chunk of that is real right, he couldn't of just pretended the entire time.

Anyways, that was a cute episode about letting go and saying goodbye the right way huh. Bittersweet episode!

Three years late but in case anyone else needs reminding, Richard showed up at the library in Anita's school on her first day there (episode 4) and tried to make off with the book hidden inside the other book and I believe it's implied he hid it there in the first place. He was badly injured in the hands and feet by Junior, attested by the fact that he's still in the hospital months later.

Anita had a hard time saying goodbye to Hisami. It was quite an emotional moment.

I did not expect them to be held at gunpoint upon returning to Hong Kong, though. Apparently, there's a lot about Mr. Lee that we don't know about.

I thought for certain Anita and Hisami were going to kiss each other with the looks they kept exchanging. I guess it would've been hard to do that though with their whole class watching. Still, seems like a missed opportunity.

Whale, whale, whale... I wasn't expecting Lee to have ulterior motives. Though, true to his word, it looks like he really is a big fan of Nenene. If nothing else, I guess the three sisters aren't going anywhere anytime soon after all.

Oh, okay. Richard is still alive.

I had suspicions about Lee but didn't think it would be dropped in that bombshell manner.
