Dance Dance Danseur Episode 8 Discussion

For me it seemed pretty obvious after previous episode where we did not get to see Misaki compete with the others: He must be on a similar level than Luou and Junpei. Considering Luou a big rival. (And he probably is still significantly less good than him.) He did reseach already ... on the mother.

And my guess is he noticed about Luou and that Miyako is a bit special to him. So he wanted to do this in order to "attack" him. (He might feel less focused now when thinking about Miyako and Junpei dating.)

Though: I think this won't last too long. Junpei probably just like her cause she is cute and was the first one to talk to him about ballet - the stuff he likes. Natsuki feels much better here. Junpei and her had a lot of great moments in this episode. Yes there seems to be an age gap? (Don't know how big though. He had been surprised when she announced the school class/grade she was in so I guess she looks older.)

But once they get older ... this should not be too relevant anymore. I can totally see some time skip happening with them being both 5 years older or so ... doing professional dancing together.

MF Misaki messing with Luou's psyche xD Everything for that scholarship, I guess.

Also, did I miss an episode? When did Miyako start developing feelings for Junpei? Well, gotta assume all that development happened off-screen then.

Anyways, another pretty solid episode. The confession/kiss scene was perfectly done and it seems Junpei has finally found his destined ballet partner: a super-underage violent brat...
