But I still wonder why every men believed the rumours that Shuurei was the cause of the disease, while every woman didn't buy it. ^^; It's indeed an interesting pacing, the first season seemed to cover 7 volumes, which means that there are five volumes left for the second season. By the looks of your comment, it seems that book 12 isn't really closing off the story, though I think that the creators probably will make some kind of ending out of it. There won't be enough material for a third season for a long while, after all.

The women also pointed out that there's nothing wrong with having a woman for a government official considering that they kick the butts of their stupid husbands at home (as stated in the novel) :p (I have to admit that it portrayed men to be submissive to their wives, that is where I'll say they went a little overboard ^^;; ) We are indeed seeing the makings of yet another leader in Shuuran ^^
