Really, really good!

While the previous episodes were filled with a lot of emotional outbursts, drama and conflicts, this episode feels like a turning point. The chemisty between Toru and Makoto is getting more and more fun to watch with each new scene. Toru has finally realised who his true friends are and there's finally a person in his life he finds the courage to trust and open up to. And every other character is playing their parts really well too! At first I was really mad at Yoko for hurting Toru by taking him to that café out of pure jealousy (her motives are understandable but she should have realized how much it would hurt the person she supposedly loves) but at least in the end she realized her mistake and felt bad for it.

The end was really shocking when Asahina got arrested, I'm really curious as to who is behind it all. Stilll, I do think that he deserved it! I did feel a twinge of pity for him when his work on the Personal File project was so obviously a failure (although I was really happy when they offered the job to Toru) but he did bring everything upon himself really. I guess what goes around comes around after all.^^

What I also really enjoyed was seeing how Toru is finally ready to "grow up" in a sense and take responsibility. Don't get me wrong! I really loved him at the beginning with is carefree, go-getting attitude but it's really fascinating to see how he's now confronted with this harsh reality and he has to learn how to deal and compromise with it in order to realize his goals and also care for himself and the people who are important to him. I think that motto he wrote down on the wall at the end was really brilliant and head-on! He realized that now that they have to start all over from scratch, compromises have to made and earning money to get them back on track has to be their priority but still that doesn't mean that he's gonna give up on his ideals or dreams - on the contrary because I think that it really shows how he is willing to make sacrifices in order to fulfil them! Toru was forced to think a lot about himself in this episode and he took a big step forward, if you ask me!

A Decent Episode...

...but not a great one. I do enjoy the romance between Toru and Natsui, but I felt this episode dragged a bit compared to the others.
The ending of the episode was it's strength, for sure. I'm glad Toru now trusts Natsui, and that the trio is back with him. I even like the new name of the company, WonderWall.
Asahina's arrest startled me; I expected something to happen to him, but I am unsure if he's the culprit here. I do think he should get some bad karma coming his way--he deserves it enough for ruining his friendship and the company.
Overall, it was a decent episode. It could have been better, but let's face it, the writers are probably setting us up for a great ending two episodes.
