You know, every time I think I can't like this drama more than I do now, it proves me wrong. Ep 5 was the best ep yet.

I had both clubbox and sendspace going to see which one finishes faster. Yeah, I am hopeless.



ETA: Previouslys. Why do I have to see them the second time around when I didn't even want to see them he first time. First Shigeru/Domyouji now Rui/Makino. Show me some D/M mackin' please :)

ETA: Yay! They listened to me and we get a recap of him on top of her (OK, that unfortunately sounds much more explicit than what actually happened but a girl can dream).

ETA: OMG, what are they talking about? EEEEE! Any D & M interaction makes me giddy.

ETA: Finally. Rui hangs up. Don't you know eavesdroppers hear no good of themselves? Or apparently pleasant things about their dating prospects, either.

ETA: I have no idea what Domyouji is telling Makino, in an adorably crabby fashion, so I'll just concentrate on how gorgeous he looks, sitting crosslegged, that yummy shirt, collarbones a bit visible. And yay, I can get that there was another bit of language mangling (and he gives her a little puppy look when she notices). Oh, Domyouji, never change.

ETA: Makino is all agitated, awwww.

ETA: And then we cut to Rui's bed of angst, as he throws himself down on it, phone still in hand, but turned off. I am not sure whether to feel sorry for his heartbreak or drool over how gorgeous he looks in this shot. That shot of him lying back, white shirt is just...guuuuh. After rewatching ep 4, I really do think he is still hung up on Shizuka and projecting onto Makino, but it has to suck for him either way (I am still hoping for Shizuka/Rui, so there).

ETA: OMG, and now M &D are mentioning Rui and OMG, did Domyouji just ask her if Rui kissed her? Ooooh. Watch everything go to hell...

ETA: Sorry, but COLLARBONES!!!!

ETA: And he keeps asking and she keeps avoiding and soon they are back to shouting at each other and there is a Susumu interruption (awwww) and finally she snaps at him that yes, Rui did kiss her, and OMG, look on Domyouji's face (during the later part of this convo they are in a dark room so it contributes to the intimacy of the moment) and she goes back to being a bit off guard and defensive and the whole scene is just...guuuuuh. How does this drama keep getting better and better?

ETA: And then Susumu comes back in and Domyouji has to head out, after wishing him luck on the test? I find Susumu-Domyouji bonding adorable. EEEE! It's probably Domyouji's first experience of any sort of a family (I don't think about of F4 parents are really close to their kids, with the possible exception of Akira's nutty Mom and the less said about her the better :D)

ETA: I waaaant that tea set!

ETA: Akira and Shigeru? I wouldn't inflict Shigeru on the poor boy. It looks like Shigeru is finding out the truth about our poor star-crossed woobies from Akira. About time, woman who cannot get a clue. Or they could be talking about that awesome looking punch a waiter is making behind them. No idea.

ETA: Adorableness. Makino making a lot of noises before she leaves the house so if Domyouji is in the vicinity, he can come out/avoid her. Heh. Not sure which one she wants.

ETA: Makino is taking the test! Good Luck, girl!

ETA: F3 are in their lounge, discussing...what else, Domyouji. What did they have to talk about when he wasn't around? :P And now Soujiro says 'because' in English and let me insert a mini swoon here. And then we hear rock-star-groupie type screams so Domyouji must be coming! (He could never sneak up on them, could he? Which is just as well because he fails Stealth 101 so badly).

ETA: ROFL. ROFL. ROFL. Chief fangirl tried to imitate Makino with the punching (I assume to win his heart) and he just shoved her and she is all 'OMG, his hand touched me' LOL LOL LOL.

ETA: Akira, honey, did your Mom buy you this shirt? Because...my eyes!

ETA: You know, I want to smack Rui here. A blind monkey could see Domyouji, his best friend, wasn't over Makino (and vice versa). Yet he still moves in, no interval of time, no nothing? Not even asking Domyouji if it's OK. Because that way, if D says it's OK despite it being a lie, I would be "Fine, go ahead, Rui, you gave him fair warning." (That's how it went in Meteor Garden as I recall). Also, come on, if the two of them (R & D) keep breaking up all the time, the friendship has issues.

ETA: Dude, they are both SO pretty. And with the staring. And heartbreak. I am shocked there is no slash in this fandom (mind you, I am glad of it, with my OTP preferences, just surprised).

ETA: Did Rui (who just punched Domyouji!) say he is serious about Makino???? Meeep.

ETA: Credits. To give us a break from the hyper testosteroneness that is making me dizzy. But in a good way.

ETA: Rui on his windowsill (with Makino calling him to thank him). One of things that makes my Saturdays so yummy.

ETA: Poor Domyouji, flashbacking to Rui saying he is serious about Makino. Well, why don't you try some kissing of your own, dummy?

ETA: OMG! The angst! This is supposed to be my fluffy show! Yeah, right. But that whole conversation with Rui and Domyouji, so heartbeaking. And Domyouji picking up that heavy vase and crashing it down on the lower level (breaking the table) and then walking off, and basically punching whoever crosses his path (fight coordinators, those are some Bollywood fake punches, work harder). And Oh Yeah. Like [livejournal.com profile] tatterpunk said in her eps 2-3 recap, "of course he's reverted. He's too unahppy not to." And this is, in some ways, even wrose than the Shigeru engagement. The whole thing is, without the possibility and hope of Makino in his life, the boy just falls apart: there is nothing for him and he doesn't know how to deal with that except lashing out.

ETA: May I just note that I love the contrast between his last lounge visit, where he was all funny and a clown and this, which is 'whoa, I want to take a step back. Or seven."

ETA: And after he is beating all those people, he is screaming. Life's not going too good for him.

ETA: And we cut from his angsty face to the nice smooth one on the poster. As Makino is looking at it. And the sheer wreck of the cafeteria. And finds out who did it. EEEE!

ETA: See, see, it's your civic duty to take him back. See how much money will be saved for taxpayers when he is well behaved!

ETA: Soujiro! Motorcycle! *dies*

ETA: *still dying*

ETA: Oh God, why won't Shigeru and her annoying voice just shut up? Ugh. How about Domyouji just punch her in the face. I know you are tired from the earlier mayhem in the cafeteria, boy, but surely you can manage one more.

ETA: Heee. She goes 'ohhh, there's Tsukushi' and he automatically jumps up to look up but she is kidding. Heh. Domyouji, so not sneaky :D

ETA: Oh God, Rui is telling Makino he likes her. Shut up, Rui. Not just for my sanity, but for your own good: haven't you read the ending, don't you know Domyouji gets the girl?

ETA: Domyouji, you are always cold. Eat something!

ETA: Awwww, and he notices despondent Susumu on the playground (I like how loving Makino actually made him notice other people, btw).

ETA: Awwww, the girl is adorable and I can see why Susumu fell for her. I love Domyouji's reaction to this. He is all excited and teasing him, LOL. You know, he might not have any siblings but he certainly knows how to ask like a pesky elder brother :D

ETA: I wonder if he can relate so well to Susumu because in many ways Domyouji still has the directness and lack of filters of a child? And I do love that he can be both a person punching innocent passerby in the cafeteria and coming up with a plan to get Susumu the girl he likes (I wonder if it's because he wants some love affairs to work out as a hopeful thing).

ETA: OK, this is weird. For some reason my screen got halved and stretched weirdly in my MPC Player. I can still get normal file in VLC Player which is bizarre. Boooo. I much prefer MPC.

ETA: Domyouji and Susumu bonding. I don't know whether to giggle or awwwww.

ETA: Seriously, Domyouji is totally projecting.

ETA: Oh GOD, I so LOVE Domyouji!

ETA: Though I think Susumu will die a virgin if he takes his dating advice :D

ETA: Ooooh, Evil Momster! Bitch, if you are so worried about money, just sell that enormous bunch of diamonds around your neck. HATE.

ETA: Go Nishida, with your sneaky, 'on the side of justice' self!

ETA: No idea what Shigeru and Momster are talking about and don't care much either.

ETA: Eeee! F4 >>> everything. After the wreck, they just installed a foozball table. Heeee.

ETA: Excuse me while I quietly expire in the corner. Domyouji just roped Soujiro and Akira into helping Susumu get the girl. EEEEE! LOL!! EEEEE!!!!

ETA: No, no, don't take hair advice from Domyouji! Haven't you seen him first season!

ETA: Manicure, pedicure and a rose petal bath? Domyouji, aren't you confused which Makino sibling you want to give these to?

ETA: Soujiro, you can train me how to drink tea ANY DAY. I am not looking for a long term relationship. Ignore the handcuffs.

ETA: Oh Soujiro, all in black being reserved and competent. OK, camera, switch to someone else. I am beginning to have trouble breathing.

ETA: The switch is Not. Helping. As Could Domyouji look any hotter? I doubt it.

ETA: Coach Domyouji! And Old Lady! Heeee.

ETA: Rui playing the violin. Blah. Am currently annoyed at him.

ETA: I love that shot of Yuki outside. And then it cuts from Yuki and Sara talking to Soujiro being surrounded by bimbos. Clever.

ETA: Ooooh, cute! Susumu is still practicing.

ETA: OK, Domyouji, I know you have the best intentions, but hanging around middle schools at the crack of dawn and then being all anticipatory when you see a middle schooler? To an unsuspecting eye would look like a child-molester :D

ETA: But seriously, there is not enough awwwww in the world for this scene. He got up early and came to cheer Susumu on because he knew the kid would be flipping nervous and you know...I think that is really why I love Domyouji so much. Because half the time he has no idea how to express himself (no wonder, look at upbringing) but there is something very right in him and when he cares, he really goes all out and doesn't think anything of it. He has this enormous capacity for caring.

ETA: And now he is saying 'Gambare.' EEEEEEE! You know, I think I love Domyouji more in these scenes than I do in scenes with Makino. Because he loves Makino, you know. But with Susumu, it's obviously not mad pash, but he is still being so awesome.

ETA: I love Domyouji.

ETA: I LOVE DOMYOUJI.

ETA: Squee.

ETA: You know, even though he doesn't know all those 'how to treat a girl' things Akira and Soujiro know, it's useful to have him as a romantic advisor for one reason: he will always tell you to go ahead and the whole 'nothing ventured nothing gained' type thing and he is clearly all for 'full speed ahead' scenario, which I totally agree with.

ETA: Gosh, he is so projecting.

ETA: Susumu/Girl=The most adorable thing in the world!

ETA: Awwww, Domyouji is waiting for progress report. Here is a hint, Domyouji. If you are always cold, it means you need to buy a warmer coat. Or light a fire of Makino's love :D

ETA: Frell. The girl didn't take Susumu's letter. Poor Susumu. Poor projecting Domyouji. Poor Girl-Who-Lost-Opportunity-To-Be-Recurring-Character. Poor everyone.

ETA: OMG, and poor Susumu is crying and Domyouji just ruffles his hair and then pulls him into a hug. And is still ruffling his hair. And Susumu is thanking him. OK, this is my new favorite Hanadan scene. Maybe because his scenes with Makino go towards Domyouji's love for her, but scenes with Susumu highlight his general ability for caring. Which is huge and untapped and kinda is making me melt on the spot.

ETA: OK, that hug is just...people are going to think weird things, you two. I joke so I won't melt into a puddle of goo, you understand.

ETA: EEEEEEE! Makino is looking for Susumu everywhere and then finds him walking with Domyouji, Domyouji's arm around his shoulder. No, silly, he didn't switch to the wrong sibling :D

ETA: I have no idea what she is saying to him but it doesn't seem pleasant. Stop with the angst, my OTP!

ETA: I know this cannot possibly be it, but it looks like the temple with hundreds of torii outside Kyoto. I wonder which one this is?

ETA: Did

ETA: He

ETA: Just

ETA: Tell

ETA: Her

ETA: He

ETA: Likes

ETA: Her?

ETA: ...

ETA: ...

ETA: ...

ETA: It's a good thing I don't lose my ability to type from screaming. Just my voice.

ETA: OMG, his serious voice and look. EEEEE!

ETA: But I can see why Makino isn't jumping into his arms. I wonder if it looks to her that he is interested only when she isn't and when she gives in he loses interest, because he chased her first season, got her, then cut off communications and now she is all 'byebye' he is chasing after her again. Of course, it's not like that, because he had a reason for cutting off communication but can't bear to lose her. But she doesn't know that.

ETA: So she grabs Susumu and walks off. And he is just left standing there. Quite a parallel with Susumu's story. Of course, I like how in the story, it's no guarantee if you leave yourself wide open, make yourself vulnerable, admit your feelings, that the other party will reciprocate (see all main characters). But at least you'll know where you stand and proceed from there.

ETA: OMG! Nishida! Sees everything. And looks very sorry for Domyouji.

ETA: Makino, why are you calling Rui? Whyyyyyyy? At least you hung up.

ETA: NISHIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At Makino's door at night!!!! EEEE!!!! Looking all serious!!!! I wonder if he'll explain what the hell is going on with Domyouji!

ETA:OMG, MatsuJun and Inoue Mao hawking Hanadan manga. Cute.

ETA: OMG! Previews! Domyouji hugging Makino from behind!!!

ETA: We get more of the nightmare Domyouji keeps having. This time we see that he is rushing towards the ledge after this guy but people are totally bodily restraining him. No wonder he's screwed up.

ETA: Tsubaki!

ETA: Sara? Looking after Soujiro? With tears in her eyes? EEEEE!

ETA: OMG OMG OMG OMG MAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tsukushi is going to be a maid in Domyouji's house. They are doing that storyline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that means maybe the scene in the rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ETA: OMG, and he is yelling after her and she has that box from the necklace he gave her. OMG! Heartbreak. She is s going to give it back.
