Now THAT, ladies and gentleman, is how itsdone.All hail KyoAni.
Euphonium,which also happens to be the best thing Ive seen all Spring; maybe all year.
Kumiko has no clue whats going on, but shes about to.

But as weve seen, Shuu isnt interested in any other girls.
He asks Kumiko out, and she again acts like a deer in the headlights.
Nor did she want to be put in a position where her chipper friend Hazuki gets hurt.

But the aggressive Sapphire literally pushes Hazuki into doing what she wants to do and would probably regretnotdoing.
Its almost not fair!
As for Reina, well…what is there to say?

Kumiko is also dressed decidedly boyishly compared to Reinas ethereal snow-white one piece.
Seeing you in that white one-piece, holding my euphonium, seems so wrong.
On this trek, far from all the other festival-goers Reina fearlessly lays her feelings for Kumiko bare.

Dont your feet hurt?They hurt.
But I dont hate pain.What?
Thats kind of hot.Freak.

Its like you put on a kind, good-girl face, but inside, youre actually really distant.
It makes me want to peel that good-girl skin off of you.
Bandmate Natsuki also remarked that Kumiko is kind of distant like that, and its true.

It was pretty ingenious how effortlessly Reina scooped Kumiko up and put her under her spell.
One only needs to see Hazukis struggles this week to understand that.
Shes all smiles when she meets back up with Sapphire…until she isnt.

But shetried;she put her heart on the line.
Only Reina isnt ayuki-onna; shes a girl who just confessed to her.
I daresay Kumiko lost her innocence this week.

So…what will she do now?
