Another Friday, another Hanadan. Just as it should be.
ETA: Previously. And I am still swooning for Domyouji's declaration of love. Yup, haven't been replaced by a clone yet.
ETA: Is it me, or did Nishida get hot when he switched to the 'side of justice?'
ETA: OMG OMG OMG! We are finally going to find out what happened in New York. Though much as I appreciate it, for someone who's been kidnapped twice, Makino is a bit off-hand about getting into cars with people she doesn't know well.
ETA: So hold on, Domyouji's awful English made the stock fall? I kid. I assume he mentioned some sort of secret he shouldn't have or whatever and someone heard and buh-bye stock. Domyouji Corp. must be fairly shaky anyway if that's the case...
ETA: It's the homeless!guy. Oh, how you annoy me, ship interference dude. OK, if you have money left to have awesome suit for purposes of jumping, you can't be that badly off. Also, I know our social services got cut under the Republicans, but hello, you can still get unemployment $$$. Anyway, get off that ledge (and not by jumping) and stop messing up my OTP.
ETA: OMG. It must be in MatsuJun's contract that he gets to scream heart-brokenly at least once per ep. He's gonna lose his voice at this rate.
ETA: Yeah, I can see why Domyouji's messed up. He said something he shouldn't and the guy he looked up to got laid off and jumped off the roof as he watched and OMG he must feel doubly guilty because the goons physically held him back and wouldn't let him run and try to rescue the guy and so it's as if he's failed him twice. Ouch. Makino, go make it all better!
ETA: Ooooh, I like the artistic choice of having everything be blue filtered in that scene except for the bright red 'exit' sign.
ETA: Ohhh, Makino is certainly affected by it all, somehow. Oh Rui, I love you, but you have the worst timing. This is about the worst time for you to make your move, because she just discovered about Domyouji!
ETA: Hanazawa Rui waiting outside my house at night. Yeah, that's my fantasy, all right. The fact that he has to bend in two to talk to her is made of awesome.
ETA: And then he hugs her! And tries to kiss her (but she moves her head). Rui, what did we discuss the week before last? About bad touching? Thnksbye.
ETA: Domoyuji, still in his awesome red coat, is talking to his sis on the phone. At Ebisu Gardens. I've been to Tokyo, this is not the only place in the city to hang out. Domyouji, come on, be a bit creative :D
ETA: Hmmm. Valentine's Day discussion with Yuki and Makino. Makino might be confused, but there is no doubt to whom Yuki is giving her chocolates.
ETA: Soujiro! Motorcycle! *dies* How come he just gets exponentally hotter with each ep?
ETA: I am getting the sense, even without subs, Makino's parents are being verrrrry shifty.
ETA: Domyouji with pepper shaker? Adorable...
ETA: OMG! Now it's Susumu's turn to encourage him. Heeee. Awesome.
ETA: I love the bit where she is peeling potatoes and he is just sitting there, watching her intensely and then he comes up behind her and stands really close. And then he hugs her, OMG and Susumu is listening at the door.
ETA: And then romantic swiftly turns to hilarious because OMG, he is accidentally touching her breast! Heee, and she tells him to let go and he gets flustered and lets go everything else and ROFL ROL ROFL. I wonder how many pieces he is in now...
ETA: LOL LOL LOL! She hit him so hard they fell through to the floor to the poor neighbors. LOL.
ETA: OMG! What is with Makino looking through a creek desperately in the little preview of upcoming in the ep scenes as Domyouji freaks. What????
ETA: We see Shigeru for about three seconds and I am already annoyed. It's official, it's not because she is after Domyouji, it's because she just annoys me, period.
ETA: Oneeeeeeeesan!!!!
ETA: Blah blah the waste of celluloid that is Shigeru bakes...
ETA: There is a loving caring sister and then there is this! OMG OMG OMG OMG! Oneeeeeeesan is made of awesome. What to get your little dorky emo brother who has everything? A box marked fragile that has the girl he loves in it! How on earth did she talk Makino into it? OMG, the looooooook on Domyouji's face. *dies*
ETA: Poor flustered Domyouji, heeee. And Makino who gets to visit in the attic? ;D
ETA: I wonder what Onee-san is telling Makino, so seriously. And I also wonder, as I look at the teddybear she is holding, why stuffed animals always have shirts but no pants. Is it some kind of secret stuffed animal code? I mean, pants would seem to be much more crucial...
ETA: Oh God. I finally realized what it is that bugs me so much about Shigeru. It's her voice. Every time I hear it, it's like nails on chalkboard. If she was mute, I'd like her better. Especially if she was also invisible.
ETA: May I take the time out to mention how much I adore Domyouji's outfit of cargo pants, dress shirt and dark sweater? The preppies are on to a good thing, Domyouji.
ETA: Heeee. Domyouji jumping on the bed in glee. ROFL. He really has the total immediacy of a child in everything, doesn't he? When he loves with no stops, when he punches out random people because he feels so mad, when he is joyful or pissed off.
ETA: Oh. My. God. Unless the shots are flipped, he is wearing his watch on his right hand which means he is left-handed. OMG. MatsuJun is left handed? Like meeeeeeeeeeee. Just when I thought I couldn't love the boy any more than I do now...Top that, Rui! :P
ETA: God. So hot.
ETA: OMG, she is staying in Domyouji's old room? Eeeee.
ETA: Ohhhh, poor Rui. Please don't be angsty, I can't bear it. I want you to have a happy ending so badly. Just not with Makino.
ETA: Shigeru is crying? Permit me not to care.
ETA: Dude. Dude. DUDE. Domyouji coming to Makino's room, looking all serious, and holding the door handle, ad then slowly letting it go and walking away? *dies* Why are you so good to me, Hanadan?
ETA: EEEEE! Makino can't sleep so she is looking at the Saturn Necklace. EEEEEE!
ETA: Domyouji tripping over things at sight of Makino in the cafeteria? >>>>everything. Gosh, he is SO unsuited to be a CEO of a company. There is transparent, there is very transparent, and then there is Domyouji. I think all braincells that normally are dedicated to subtlety have been replaced in him by the ones dedicated to Makino-obsession.
ETA: Makino passed!!!! I love how her college is just as important to her as her love life.
ETA: I just nocied. F4 lounge has photos of them behind on the wall. Ego stroking, boys?
ETA: You know, it's sort of unfair every time Rui and Domyouji end up in a confrontation. Because Rui can run circles around him and he knows it. But I wonder what they are talking about?
ETA: Shigeru, calling Makino. Uh-oh. She is the real weed in the story. Just won't go away no matter how much I want her to! Oh God, I hate you. What is she telling Makino? Shigeru, seriously, he will never like you. Haven't you figured it out. You could strip naked and wear clown make-up and he won't even notice anything. Come onnnnnn. Give up. Or follow homeless!guy and jump off a building.
ETA: Eeeee! The Sara storyline.
ETA: OMG, flustered emo Soujiro? For the WIN.
ETA: What did that BITCH say to Makino to make her clutch the necklace remembering her words? UGH.
ETA: OMG, Yuki half-smiles at Soujiro and Soujiro half-smiles back. *dies*
ETA: Not only that, but why am I thinking that whatever Shigeru said to Makino is making her to consider going to RUI? Oh God, I hate Shigeru with levels previously reserved for kdrama 'other women.' HATE. Because this is going to hurt not just Domyouji and Makino, but also Rui who is going to think certain things. God, I hate Shigeru. HATE. *gnashes teeth, resembles hyena*
ETA: How come Domyouji is only getting hotter? He should always wear long coats.
ETA: Domyouji grinning at those little kids exchanging chocolates? Adorable.
ETA: OMG
ETA: OMG
ETA: OMG OMG OMG
ETA: I am literally having trouble breathing, but the look of sort of gleeful anticipation on Domyouji's face as Makino reaches into her bag for a box (because he is expecting chocolates) but as she pulls out the box with the Saturn Necklace instead and his incomprehension slowly turning to heartbreak. I can'twatchcan'twatchcan'tcan'tcan't. On Valentine's Day!
ETA: Hell. I am crying.
ETA: I hate Shigeru.
ETA: *sniffle* Seriously, this is ridiculously. I cannot be crying every freaking ep.
ETA: And he is frozen and sort of stunned and barely breathing. Hell hell hell hell.
ETA: And then he just throws it into the water, no affect. And her gasp and she runs to see it in the river/creek.
ETA: And then he just breaks and starts hitting the rail and screaming (OK, TWO screams of despair per ep? Upping the ante, Domyouji? I only joke so I won't bawl).
ETA: OMG, he has TEARS in his VOICE! He sounds completely heart-broken and OMG OMG OMG OMG. Seriously, his voice!
ETA: And he leaves and she runs into the cold creek, looking for the necklace and she finds it and clutches it and OMG OMG OMG
ETA: He gets home and he sees chocolates (I assume from Her Who Should Not Be Named) and just sits there, and then you see it's morning and he is still sitting here. Must have had a pleasant night, no?
ETA: And OMG, the maid comes in to get his coat and OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! It's MAKINO!!!!!!!!!!! *dies*
ETA: Taken aback Domyouji is one of the joys in life.
ETA: YAY! They brought in the batty housekeeper!!!
ETA: PREVIEWS!!!!!!
ETA: I AM DEAD FROM THE PREVIEWS
ETA: DOMYOUJI HUGGING MAKINO IN HER MAID UNIFORM!!!!!

And I agree with you re. Shigeru. At first I thought the reason why I was starting not to like her (unlike my reaction to her in the manga) was because she was being more thickheaded and leechlike than in the manga. Because I think she's a very pretty girl, and usually I have quite a high tolerance for pretty people. Then I realised that everytime she talked I just got very annoyed. (Then again, it could have something to do with the fact that whatever she says always goes some way to hurt Tsukushi/Tsukasa.)
And oh RUI! oh SOUJIROU!

Date: 2007-02-11 01:26 am (UTC)i have to agree on the soujiro and tsukasa getting hotter *dies*
anyways, yeah shigeru the little twerp told tsukushi that in eps 3 when she came crying to tsukushi about how tsukasa said he'll date her and tsukushi said congratulations. well shigeru *holding myself back from hitting her with a frying pan* that tsukushi should honor her promise and be her friend. yeah in a nut shell shigeru told tsukushi that she needs to let go since tsukushi already gave tsukasa to shigeru... * hating shigeru*
and yeah i was crying when tsukushi gave tsukasa the necklace, he looks sooo sad.. and the scene with oneesan and tsukushi with the teddybear well we find out why tsubaki is helping tsukushi and tsukasa. it has to do with tsubaki and her first love and how she never fought for it and she wants better for both tsukushi and tsukasa.
ahhhh 6 more days.... i don't know if i'll make it...

Anyhow. Soujirou was always a womanizer, but he had a childhood friend named Sara who always cheered him up (since Soujirou's home life is less than ideal). When she's at his house once again, she falls over (after they were kidding around) and Soujirou grabs her to save her from hitting her head. Sara gets flustered, Soujirou notices this. He shrugs it off completely because he's afraid of how it would change their relationship. Sara stays out all night with friends and ends up waiting on a rooftop for the trains to start running again. She sees something on the roof. She calls Soujirou and tells him to meet her on top of the building at 5 a.m., but he deletes the message, believing that if he ignores the problem, it will go away and they'll go back to the way they were. He goes and sleeps with some other woman, feels guilty, and on his way home Sara's waiting for him outside his house and tells him goodbye.
Years later, Soujirou is still regretting it when Yuuki comes on the scene and tries to snag him. Because of her profound guts (she almost forced herself to sleep with him but he stopped her because she's not that kind of girl), he decides to tell her this whole affair. Yuuki spends the next few weeks checking every building you can see the Tokyo Tower from (the only clue Soujirou remembers) at 5 a.m. When she gets to the last building on her list, she finds what it was that he was supposed to see:
When the light hits the buildings at this angle, you can see two signs say "Suki" and "Jiro" (meaning, "I love you, Jiro." Sara called Soujirou Jiro). Yuuki brings Soujirou to see, and kablammo. Man pain.
You've probably already guessed that Sara is Yuuki's tea instructor in the drama. In the manga it was just her friend from a club at school, and Soujirou and Sara don't reunite until waaaay later on because Doumyouji and Tsukushi have major angst for about 5 volumes that monopolizes the storyline.
I hope that was thorough enough for you =)

LOL that was one of my favorite things you wrote and the teddy bear thing. How they always wear tops but not bottoms. :)
Rui does really have horrible timing. His constant angsting is breaking my heart. The playing the violin beautifully then the strings break and walking alone and seeing valentine's chocolate for sale *cries* I really hope we get to see happy ending for Rui too. The bridge scene broke my heart when Dom said he can only think of her. I love how all the way before this he was making me laugh for being so excited and making such hilarious faces then he makes me all teary. Gah, the promos killed me too. Soujiro crying is killer! The cleaning scene was very cute lol baby pandas you're hilarious. How does it get better with every episode?? I don't know what I'm going to do when this series end. If only they would make Hanadan 4,5,6....
