Poor stepmom...
And that is why Rea's dad is so obssesed with her is because he still cannot forget Rea's biological mother.. The backstory of Rea's dad was a little nice especially the part where he really fought for Rea's biological mother.. But he is way overboard now.. I hope Furuya will beat the hell out of him..

She also said that she can win a Man's Heart no matter what, she is a prideful women. I think she seek for fame+fortune from the start.
but I think She now realize that love is much more important than those lol . Well, there is no turning back now.

Pretty much, right now she stays with him for pride and because she's obsessed with making him love her. If all she wanted was fame and fortune she already has it and she would be happy and not the drunk-whorish mess she is now since her husband does give her all the money she cares for. He just doesn't give her any love.

So basically, if you read her story well you notice she did start as all the other maids did, as gold diggers who wanted to marry into the Sanka family, but she had the pride of making anyone fall for her, and that pride turned into obsession and from wanting to marry him into wanting to be loved. SO yeah, she kinda sank into the little hole all by herself but she deserves a little pity since in the end all she wants now is love, not money or anything, just love.

As for Rea's dad... well, the pedophilic tendencies were strong in that one but I guess 15 is not THAT bad considering he was just 20 or so back then. Yeah, a large gap but not completely unexpected, especially when it comes to influential families (they tend to stage marriages and all that, and ussually the couples are not exactly...close in age). Plus this is anime. What was creepy however was his obsession with Rea just because she looks like her mother. The thing that sets the alarm bells is because he speaks so much of preserving "her purity". He's just one step away of saying he wanted that purity for himself.

The butler warn her not to love him.... I recommend her to leave Sanka's mansion for good.
In the end, she still stay for money and fame. I don't see any reason she still stay there because she is faithful to Danichiro.
or maybe she stay there just for those whiskey lol

Like I said, if she was staying there for the money she wouldn't get drunk everyday and petty much live a depressed life. She's just obsessed with catching his attention at this point, and angry at the fact Rea is all he can think about.

Jeez Rea's dad is a nuttjob.

Aria's a babe and he hasn't made love to her? Man.

Also can anyone tell me if they skipped ahead a few chapters? Episode 8 was chapter 8, yet this ep was like chapter 11 or something. No idea what chapter the next ep is since it's usually the same title as the corresponding manga chapter. Comment on my profile if you know.

Damn...my hot bloodedness gets to me sometimes.
There's a few things you can't do around me:
You cannot harm children.
You cannot harm women without exeptional due cause.

Rea's dad managed to do both.

I disagree. Aria isn't looking for love from her husband, she simply wants to have sex. She originally wanted fame, and now sex. Here's why. If she loved her husband, why wouldn't she love his daughter. She knows that Rea is an obstacle to reach Dai'ichiro. Smart as she is, shouldn't she have realized that making Rea love her would bring Dai'ichiro closer to her. After the naked-pics revelation, Aria chose Rea as a rival, but not as someone to be saved. If Aria had loved Dai'ichiro, she would have tried to save Dai'ichiro, but we are given no evidence of that. Instead, she distanced herself from her family and started drinking. The clincher is the end scene in this episode, where Aria finally breaks down and cries like a child going on about how Dai'ichiro never looks at her. If she had truly loved Dai'ichiro, the scene wouldn't have been as hilarious as it was.

Dai'ichiro actually loves his daughter in his own twisted way. Love entails a want of good will. He truly believes what he does will benefit his daughter. He wants to keep her pure, rid outside evil, and raise Rea into his successor. All his actions can be explained as such. Even the naked-pics are evidence for him that Rea remains pure, whatever that means to him. Now the question is whether Dai'ichiro loves his daughter in a sexual manner, which I beg to differ. Dai'ichiro may have pedophiliac tendencies, but I change my mind. I don't believe Dai'ichiro really is a pedophiliac.

Anyway i dont really know who to feel bad for except Aria .Lol what plot? the plot was bringing his dead cat back to life :/. and the dude marrying the 15 year old is that uncommon especially if you read the bible.
Totally unrelated but Joseph was like 30 and Mary was 16 when they married.....just sayain.

Wow, this man is even more disturbed than I initially thought. Marrying a frail 15 year-old girl. I kinda feel for Aria. Even though she's been a bitch herself, she's never felt the love of the man she married. I kinda liked the back story, but I can't wait for the story to actually progress either. Rea is definitely falling for the bait that is Chihiro.

Didn't like this episode much. Backstory wasn't poorly done per say, I just don't care about her and Rea's actual Mom. In thirteen episode shows it's usually better to focus on the here and now. Not to mention the beginning of the episode made it seem like shit was about to get real, talk about anti-climactic.

Aria isn't looking for love from her husband, she simply wants to have sex

She can have plenty of sex in the "host" club which she visits so sex doesn't seem to be an issue here. That aside, what is wrong with wanting to have sex with the guy she is married to?

s2012k1993 said:
She originally wanted fame, and now sex

No; she originally wanted fame/fortune and tried to stand out of the lot (other maids). In the process, she fell for Dai'ichiro and was really happy when the "pedo dude" expressed a desire to marry her.

Here's why. If she loved her husband, why wouldn't she love his daughter

Non sequitur; is "loving" someone else's daughter a pre-requisite to loving that person? I don't think so. Plus, notice the pool scene wherein Rea wants to have a family photograph and Aria gladly complies with a smile on her face.

She knows that Rea is an obstacle to reach Dai'ichiro

No, Dai'ichiro is an obstacle in reaching Dai'ichiro.

If Aria had loved Dai'ichiro, she would have tried to save Dai'ichiro, but we are given no evidence of that.Instead, she distanced herself from her family and started drinking.

Save a freak who doesn't listen to anyone but himself? I have my doubts. :)

The clincher is the end scene in this episode, where Aria finally breaks down and cries like a child going on about how Dai'ichiro never looks at her. If she had truly loved Dai'ichiro, the scene wouldn't have been as hilarious as it was.

Non sequitur; I'm not really sure how "breaking down" after narrating a fucked up life to an outsider "conclusively" decides that Aria doesn't love her husband.

He pretty much said that several episodes ago when photos on Rea's birthday were mentioned and he said something along the lines of "It's almost time". I can only assume he's been waiting for Rea to hit a specific age before taking her "purity".

Originally I don't think he was a pedo though. He seemed more in shock with what Rea's mom told him. I mean her being a crippled 15 year old with basically nothing to live for telling him, a healthy, successful, rich guy that even though the match was rigged he should still be happy to be able to train and have people to fence against was definitely an eye opener for him.

Aria kind of screwed her self in multiple ways. Rea's dad might have initially thought it'd be a good idea for Rea to have a mother but I think him marrying her was his way of showing his affection for her taking care of him through his hard time. Aria could have easily won over Rea's dad if she just spent time with Rea and helped raise her.

It might not have the best pacing ever, I appreciate all the side characters building as long as it compliments the main plot. It's disturbing in a playful way.

Am i the only one slightly freaked out by the fact that he married a 15-year old and not long after had a baby with her? I haven't been paying much attention to the time lapse between events. I want to know his age when he got married, when Rea was born, and now so there can perhaps be some fact saying he isn't a weird unintentional-pedo who, in legal terms, raped a minor. I felt bad for him up until they said he proposed to Ria's mother when she was 15.

It's great that he loved her, but to have a baby so soon...and that she's in a wheel chair while he's this big, burly and muscular man...yikes.

The sad thing is that Aria really did appear to want to be a wife to Dan'ichiro and probably would have been a good one if he wasn't so totally obsessed with Rea. I get the feeling that she has been just as much a prisoner as Rea over the years. I'm hoping that Chihiro kills the scumbag and sets the whole family free.


Yeah watching her in the first episodes being drunk and not caring about anything, at first you could think she was some selfish cruel uncaring woman but seeing her story is obvious that she's actually quite a nice innocent kind of person that just broke down and that's why she acts like that now.
She really was trying to have a nice husband wife relationship with him but he was constantly cold and she also never got close to Rea not because she wanted to be distant but he never let her get close. She even took care of him when he was half dead and others didn't care, they where supposed to be a family but she was shut outside and ended being alone. He was really an ass for not even trying a little to give her happiness if not for love at least from obligation for taking care of him that much.
Both Rea and her are victims of his obsessions.

The irony is that she still loves him since she earns for his attention but i guess if you can blame her for anything is for wasting her life like that and not leaving him to find someone that would truly care for her. Damn! what a waste such a beautiful woman being sexually neglected and frustrated. I'll be more than happy to relieve her from her frustrations(wink, wink). She must be a sexual volcano with all that frustration inside.

Once again, we're back to Rea and Chihiro's story after Mero's break last episode. Rea is the spitting image of her mother, that helps explain her father Danichirou's total obsession with her, considering how devastated he was after the death of the only woman he ever considered his wife. It's his own perverse way of coping with the loss of someone who can never be replaced.

Rea fully inherited her mother's looks, while the only thing she got from her father was part of his unyielding iron will, manifesting as her stubborn, subtly rebellious side.
