You sure surprised me. Seeing everything I wanted to say already written under your name, I felt my soul had sneaked behind me and whispered everything I had in my heart down to this form before I even open the page !!
I was at one point trying to get a grasp of what the future holds for those two through the novel, but I was hit by a lot of disappointments and words of warning not to have hopes high and all. But, just when I watched again the EPIC scene of them at that mountain hiking, I felt with a conclusion.....you know what,,,, I don't care what is happening in the novel or whatever, what I see here is magical, what I see here is true love in its most pure, beautiful, exciting and warmest form.
Then comes today, and MY GOD that moment in episode 11...was just beautiful...the love between those two was as bright as the summer sun light that sparkled around them. Ah this raising hands of Reina, the gentle whispers of Kumiko, her TO DIE FOR confession, and most of all, the reaction of reina, all surprised with Kumiko's feelings, that made her eye closed with happiness (just like she always do when overwhelmed by her love to Kumiko.
I haven't felt happier watching such beautiful love since the days of Oniisama E.
So forget the novel...I am happy with what I see and I still expect more amazing moments like that. Even if the overall anime ended suddenly with no conclusion between those two (which is what I expect) but still, it will remain an anime that we will always go back to its special moments to watch over and over with the same passion.
