Onzoshi ni Koi wa Muzu Sugiru Episode 6

The definition of the word "satisfaction"

After waiting patiently for almost all of six episodes, we viewers get our reward. After two strike-outs at the plate, Subaru finally succeeds at getting a kiss from someone who must surely be the first true love of his life. And vice-versa: Madoka, who probably all of her life has never had a romantic love in her life, is handed one and never even notices. While Subaru realizes quite early on that he's been smitten by Cupid, Madoka doesn't seem to have a clue. It's this dichotomy of awareness which is one factor that adds turbulence to the relationship between these attractive people. And it is exactly this agitation which stirs up warm feelings in this writer's heart. Subaru is cognizant of his own efforts to show his love for Madoka- cooking for her, buying her gloves, saving her tomato plants, saving her life, etc. Madoka, on the other hand, is oblivious to the meaning behind her actions- going out of her way to check on her co-worker, running and falling to quickly get to Subaru's side when he's apparentl y caught up in a fire, hugging him after seeing her saved tomato plants, etc. I'm betting that even her kiss, initiated on her own accord, will be passed off as a one-time reward to him for saving her life. And surely, Subaru will not be of the same opinion. I'm with Subaru. In the scene where the two are on their way to work together, Madoka confronts Subaru and informs him that she can't understand why he likes her when they're both from different worlds- she lost her home as a child, while he probably got lost in his because it was so big. "I can only see you as someone who is leading me on," claims Madoka. To which Subaru replies "Love is something that starts on its own." He assures her that he's serious about her. Despite the lackluster knife attack on Madoka, overall this was the definiion of a satisfying episode. I can watch the ending scene in the hospital over and over without tiring. But as with most dramas, after something wonderful happens between the two leads right in the midst of a series, there always follows pain and suffering. Not really looking forward to that, but that's how things go. We're halfway done, and I'm hoping for even better things to come in the second half of the series.
