Hmm I've been really holding back about one of the characters in this but I just finished watching episode 5.
Seeing Yasaburou and Beten...I almost feel like this is a romance anime. It's not listed as one...but the way she goes about scaring the crap outta him and teasing him about eating him up..... today I'm really starting to wonder. Especially since he got spend the time after dinner drinking a cocktail with him. That was really cute and in some way romantic. I'm really curious what she was actually upset/sad about it. I felt like she was reminiscing about something.
Between her and Ebsugawa's daughter I'm somewhat unsure who I'd root for with Yasaburou. Their daughter has such an amazing cute voice. And helped their mother that one time. It's so tragic that the father revoked the marriage arrangement. Seeing the mother so upset about that was quite an impact. So sad especially in closeness to their dad's death.
Anyways..compared to her, Benten has this extremely confident
and whimsicial allure about her that is so intoxicating. There's something so intimidating about her [img]http://24.media.tumblr.com/a110c34bc7ed843a0e7ee5931055fd4e/tumblr_mqb9nkPOJM1ri72iuo1_500.gif][/img]and yet at the same time since she's so whimsical and impulsive she doesn't seem intimidating. The banter between her and Yasaburou is extremely entertaining and one of the highlights of the series. I absolutely love the chemistry between them. It's like lighting firecrackers...on the surface it's dormant and quiet..but once u light the fuse watch out the for the fireworks. xD
