And so it begins,

10 hours and counting until I have to be back at work.
Yay for inventory.

I know I'll be happy. When it's over.

Also coming tomorrow, pictures of our lovely exciting plywood window.
And probably lots of the store in general, since I'm in love with it and after inventory is when it looks it's best. ^_^

Also, new HD rotation this week, which should be all

I think lack of sleep makes this level of Japanese comprehension extememly difficult

Maoh 5.
The reviews are getting rather overwhelming. This one focuses mostly on Naoto, emphasizing how much he's lost and his regret and anger at himself over the murders. It gives a much more mixed picture of Naruse, covering everything from moments of his cold-hearted manipulation to the fact that he's lost his whole family and even faked his own death. It makes a point to bring up the reporter a couple of times, both his threats to Naoto and his suspicion of Naruse... even though that was later explained to be less threatening than it sounded.
Leading us right back to where we were last episode. Naoto and Shiori having just found an envelope addressed to Naoto in a book at the library and Naruse visiting his 'sister'.
( This totally runs out of steam by the end, sorry. )

I was explaining this to Jess and realized that at some point I decided that Naoto is in the right here. I love Naruse. I want him to win. but I don't think he needs to be doing what he's doing to be happy, and I think it's a little of a cop out to say that he can't stop now. They both deserve peace, but I think there's no way for this to end peacefully between them.
