Yurika and Jun finally get significant screen time and we
get a glimpse into the world of Jun while he was MIA from the series. But this
episode really delves into their relationship and hurts everyone on an
emotional level. First, Kaoru is trying his best to put Sentaro and Ritsuko
together, only further opening his wounds from kissing Ritsuko. Next, Yurika
and Jun have seemingly gotten together and when Sentaro finds out about this,
he’s pretty torn up because Yurika was his angel ascended to him (or love
equivalent thereof). Meanwhile, Ritsuko is kind of finding out that she loves
Sentaro as a brother and Kaoru as a man with her childhood antics with Sentaro
being just that, childhood antics.
And the Beatles guy takes a backseat for now. Thank god. The
main points here are the love relationships, of course, and they’re hurting
everyone, including the now together Jun and Yurika. Sentaro, Kaoru, and
Ritsuko also appear to have gone back to normal after their jam session last
episode, but they’re emotionally drifting apart (or maybe closer).
What we see here is what the jam session from the last
episode has done to these characters and what Jun has become. He was a
political activist, which turned out sour for him, and he’s trying to push
everyone away because he feels guilty about the leader guy he was with and
wonders what he’s doing with his life after dropping out of college.
Now we’re waiting for it to all culminate in the ultimate falling
out of every relationship in the series. It’s setting up a lot of relationships
that just can’t work considering some of the other ones that are going on right
now. So we’ll see how everything turns out in the end with our characters,
especially Kaoru, Ritsuko, and Sentaro and how their group dynamic will be
affected by it all.
