Anyway, I hope this series turns out to be a good one, because I've had it with typical shojo plots. I think that the girl just hates Sawako, and she’s just really being mean.

They could end this with this episode! >_ As much as I like the progress of the story much up to this point and Yano and Yoshida too, expanding it to 3 episodes is just..

They stretched it to 3 episodes??!?! Come on!!!! At least it looks like they hit the core part from the manga properly (the development of Yano and Yoshida and their own inferiority complexes.) At it's heart this is a story about misfits and the insecurities everyone that age has. Even those whom look like nothing could bother them have their own weaknesses and some people whom look very weak can actually quite strong (Sadako.) I like the manga because of the way it takes a different look at these issues than most of the generic shojo pieces; though it had a rough start. I fear that the anime is just not living up to the manga, and is pulling out some of the more trite pieces to force it into the standard shojo model. They are emphasizing more of the similarities to the standard than the differences and stretching things out way too much. Oh well. What?!?!?! They stretched it to 3 episodes??!?!

Its a shame the misunderstandings wont be cleared until next episode at least Well about Kazehaya I cant disagree... But I am sure its because we are just being shown this part of him, obviously later on he will be the source of drama as well, but like you said, right now he works as a plot device to make sawako move forward Much better than the last one, although still not a return to form… Its a shame the misunderstandings wont be cleared until next episode at least
