Onzoshi ni Koi wa Muzu Sugiru Episode 9

Back to Life, Back to Reality

In this episode, the relationship between Subaru and Madoka really takes a back seat to developments around them. The truth about Madoka's mother, Subaru's gramps health, Subaru's and Tomoya's friendship issues, cockroaches (yes, that's right), and so on. Well, there was one scene where the two are sharing onabe (Japanese hot pot). Madoka shares that even after the learning that her mother, the same one who abonded her as a young girl, is the President of the Company she works for, she was still able to look on the bright side of things, because Subaru is by her side. What a heart-warming thing to say, IMHO. Besides this, there is one more bit of good news from this episode: The return of Lily! It's for all but about five seconds of screen-time. Oh well, at least it's good to know she's alive! To sum up this episode, I'd say it's the return from the clouds and back to reality with the introduction of the final hurdle in the way of Rich Boy and Poor Girl.
