In this high tension, fast paced, story about sex, lies, and domination — Takeru had just confessed his love to Ruka but in the end Ruka turned him down. What’s a man to do?
In retaliation, Ruka can’t deal with the fact that he likes her and instead gets her motorcross trainer to act as her boyfriend. Takeru is hurt by this, but it doesn’t help at that the amusement park he runs into his sister…
… The woman who scarred him mentally and physically.
Michiru notices his apprehension and goes to take care of his wounds, much like how he has done for her.
On Sousuke’s front he tries to go on in his life without Michiru but convinced she’s going to come back to him. When Michiru walks to Sousuke’s place and calls him up, she tells him she wants to break up…
” I don’t think I can be with you ”
” Why? Is that your group’s brainwashing?”
” My groups…?”
” They say things to you, brainwashing you against me.”
In the end Michiru tells him that she just can’t continue with him and says good bye, hanging up the phone and walking away. Sousuke doesn’t accept that fact.
In the park Sousuke emos but his new found friend, also his current case, walks up to him and asks him if he has any bread. Sousuke says no but asks about his mom, he said his mom hasn’t came back and he doesn’t remember the last time she came back. Sousuke brings the boy to his home and feeds him curry for the night, they have a conversation with each other about the women in their lives…
” Do you have a mother?”
” No, I don’t… that was a long time ago.”
” Are you married?”
” No, I’m not… But I have a girlfriend.”
” She’s not here though…”
” Yeah. ”
” Are you lonely? ”
” I’m not lonely…”
” Why? ”
” Because she’ll come back to me.”
Call me a sick person, but I loved how those words came from his lips, ” Kanojo wa…. mata modotte kure kara “. Really, I was like, I need more sick sadistic Sousuke…. Everyone is staying in this protective cocoon and I want Sousuke to totally SNAP. Seriously, I am waiting for his SNAPPING moment of epicness. I want shit to hit the fan and everything…. Last Friends needs to go out with a bang.
At the end, Michiru confesses that she thinks she’s attracted to Takeru. I couldn’t really swallow that, I dunno, despite how fucked up Sousuke and Michiru’s relationship is… I ship that pairing in this show. They’re so amazingly pathetic that they just work out for each other and Takeru is just so hopeless that I just like him alone, suffering, with the skeletons in his closet.
But on the other hand, Ruka is PMSing over the fact that Michiru likes Takeru and not her.
… And Sousuke has came one on one with an oncoming training.
Ah, what’s going to happen next….!
