I hope shit doesn't get too serious. The development here is really going at a snail's pace, but honestly, Sadako's slowness is part of her goodness. I like that so far, instead of slipping into the usual drastic "Believe in yourself!"/"Be yourself!"/"Let other people act for you!" trap that a lot of this stuff falls into, Sadako is just naturally and slowly adjusting herself. She's a little too emotional about it sometimes, but otherwise she's really easy to sympathise with. Mega-drama might ruin it >__>
The Birds are using humanity in order to throw something terrifying at this green pig. And then what happens to us all later, that’s simply not important to them…

Truths. She'll be that much more awesome of a character if she's able to fend off that stuff without relying on the guy to do it for her :|

This is fast falling under the typical Guy-is-too-perfect-always-there-to-save-girl-and-say-exactly-the-right-things-all-the-time trap that most shojo anime gets caught up in. Not that thats particularly a bad thing, I guess some people like an escape from reality in their anime ;p still, I for one rather the guy be a little more realistic myself. Mitsuru Adachi's characters for example have a very good balance of guys who are cool in subtle ways, yet still sometimes make mistakes. Thats what I love about his mangas the most.

Actually I think it's refreshing that the guy in this case is just as shy about being around her as she is him. And that she's TOTALLY oblivious to it. I hope for the best. This show makes me feel all melty with romantic ooze. I wuv it.

True, I do like that about him. (though it does get a bit too cheesy at times, maybe just slightly overdone). And he does seem to be hinting about something in his past, or maybe something he is hiding, gives me that impression when he keeps saying hes "not really refeshing" and has the look like hes thinking about something....

Anyways we shall see ;p

And eps 3:
Spoiler :
Considering her personality If I was those girls I would find it pretty hard to beelive Sawako would spread those rumors.... I predict they will side with sawako on this one.

Sooo...she stays hidden a bit longer.
Spoiler :
Girls are scary .__. I find myself wondering now what the reactions will be of the two friend girls. They seemed to buddy up to Sadako pretty quickly, which I found just a hair suspicious. Hopefully their intentions as her friends hold up and they don't believe that garbage :/

Sawako is a idiot. She is digging her own grave here. She's sure got a strange way of thinking ...

Sawako really has a way of totally misreading things xD Kazehaya getting all blushy and embarrassed around her was way cute tho >O<

I've read what there is of the manga so far tho, so I'm hoping this rumors arc gets concluded in the next episode and the animators don't try to drag it out x3
