…Shuu-chan.<\/p>\n

Hagu-chan asks Shuu-chan to lay his life down for her. Having already decided to do that independent of Hagu-chan’s request, he happily acquiesces.
\nMorita and Takemoto are forced to accept defeat.<\/p>\n

Before one gets totally freaked out by the conclusion in which Shuu-chan declares his love for Hagu-chan, it must be considered that there’s not so much of a “kissing cousins” taboo over in Japan. In fact, in the anime Sakura Diaries<\/i>, when the friends of the “hero” find out that he’s living with his cousin, they say “I thought she was your sister … go for it!”<\/p>\n

Of course, the creepiness is still there, particularly as Shuu-chan has always been like an uncle to Hagu-chan. There’s a definite generation skip in place here. However! One should consider that Shuu-chan need not necessarily consummate this relationship. I<\/I> would like to think that he’s happy enough just to look after her.<\/p>\n

On those terms, I’m happy to accept this as a conclusion to the mighty Hagu-chan storyline: love triangle intercepted by mysterious older challenger!<\/p>\n

The “seishuun” themes of this episode were funny, and it was fitting. The next episode will be the last, and there can not be such a simple throwing forth of the conceits of youth. Twenty minutes to resolve the problems of Mayama, Yamada, Rika and Nomiya. Can it be done? I would have preferred thirteen episodes. I’m really kicking myself for commissioning that recap episode now.<\/p>\n
