^^ Except the clip didn't actually come off with this tone. Gigi kind of plays the role of a comic relief airhead and starts singing "Say something I'm giving up on you ...", and Cici is laughing the whole time.

shlik, shlik, shlik ... ... oh crap am I saying that out loud?

^^^ Nah @Zexalfan, not doubts that she wants to. I'm thinking this is the moment she makes her first move and she's nervous.

Either that, or they're already dating, Sumire screwed up by forgetting their anniversary or something, and she's worried Keke is still mad. And they're about to have hot ass makeup sex.

That is one fine bod on Navia. I like this artist.

But Nico-chan does look so cute today! I swear, this ship never gets old. Very nice work.

Dang, Lotte's a player now! No more meek girl complex for her. Go, girl!

^ I believe she's performing manual kegels.

Gotta say I didn't like it at all; especially the ending. At least the typical sex-room premise encourages sex; it's ridiculous but harmless (when talking about two people who presumably want to do it with one another anyway).

This "twist" is messed up; the potential consequences of sex are so awful--to be trapped in a room until you die--it isn't remotely sexy when things get lewd. In fact it's downright scary!

Plus, they made it seem like there was going to be some revelation about who was responsible. Like someone Kanan's parents hired to make sure they weren't going to do anything while they were away. Or whatever. Instead they just walk out and go home like it was no big deal.

Look, I don't mean to take a doujin too seriously, but you have to be able to suspend disbelief somewhat, right? And I just can't imagine anyone in a situation like this being able to think about something as frivolous as sex when you've just found out someone drugged and kidnapped you, and is seemingly prepared to starve you to death if you don't abide by the rules of their sick game. "Just a prank?" FFS! Any normal person would go straight to the police afterward. Granted, I'm the kind of person who really doesn't like even "innocent" pranks, but even so, something like this should be well beyond the pale and freak out even the most easy-going of people.

Happy New Year, everyone. Let's hope, anyway.

^ Looks like Sumire was taking her coat off to put it around Keke (awwww!), and so Kinako thought she was undressing.

Someone knows their history; that's an old Chinese "cash coin"; the hole in it was so they could be conveniently strung together in groups, kind of like with a roll of coins.

My dog loves her ears scratched.

C'mon Santa, you know to never let a reindeer hump your ass. It establishes dominance. Now she thinks she's the alpha.

Utena's looking up alright ... probably right at Sayo's "magical girls".

^ Damn you, FluffyCow. Now I can't unsee it.

I really love exposed woman shoulders.

What?!? Using body heat saves on our gas bill! It's only practical!

Very cute; love the bare shoulders.

So girls who are best friends in their thirties have sex with each other?

Nijika's arms got ridiculously long for the kabedon! O_O

Thank you! At least an acknowledgement of how they teased KeSumi fans in that promo material.

@Zexalfan: CORRECTION: That's a Japanese hot pad known as a kairo. A similar scene is depicted here; I'm not sure if the comic at that link is the source, or if they're both referencing a different work. Anyway, the package in the comic is much clearer, and says 「ホット　カイロ」("hotto kairo", or "hot kairo").

^ I don't know. Sometimes even really good bath scenes go awry.

Ah, my OTP! (Although lately in my headcanon I confess that I've been working Ren into an OT3).

^^ Seconded! For once give the fans what they want!

^ I still remember the disappointment of the first Love Live movie in which Nico and Maki barely interacted at all, and NicoMaki fans were tossed one little bone (Nico's awkward moment of jealousy aimed at Tsubasa while assisting Maki at the piano). So I wouldn't hold my breath.

^ Also, my initial assumption was that Sumire was holding some kind of Shinto talisman, a shinsatsu ofuda or something of that nature. That wouldn't make sense if it was a gift from Keke though.

^ Seriously. All that wasted potential from the Shanghai arc, except for Sumire once again demonstrating how much she loves Keke and getting no appreciation from her, with Kanon getting all the affection. Sigh And they were so touchy feely at the end of the last season, too. Should've figured.
