It's funny how just a few simple words can change someone's viewpoint entirely. Misaki must be a veela with the way she charms people.

It was a fun episode. Hohoho, seeing Icchan all pissed off got me all excited. He's easily my favorite character.

I wasn't sure if I'd like this or not when I started watching it, but the characters grow on me, and grow bit by bit it seems. I love the way they reveal the plot and you begin to get a sense that you know these characters better than perhaps you should.

Same here.

I really hate the cheaters episode that always appears in competition series, especially in ones like this where the judges know its happening and don't stop the fight and disqualify the cheater. There's no need to show mercy to people like that :/

Factoring out my own personal biases when it comes to characters, Icchan is by far the best character in this series.

Anyway, Misaki gets shown a counter strategy for use against Hatoko. Hatoko sees it too, of course, but I doubt she will do anything about it.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Once the cheating stopped that fight was actually good. I was on the edge of my seat there.

This is such a fluffy show, there were like absolutely no consequences for cheating during an official regional tournament lol and it didn't look like Misaki even found out it happened?? Mihara Oujirou handled it real nicely though, what a true ouji /bad joke

Love this show and have re-watched it several times already, but i hate this ep for the 'cheating' part. Seriously not only do these lame girls get away with the blatant & ugly cheating, but after they get found out they also get a chance to try and win the match nevertheless.
Just because they didn't end up winning by cheating doesn't mean everything is 'ok' and let's just move on and pretend nothing happened...sigh

Talk about sending the wrong signals with this ep.

Well said.

Nice ep - loved seeing Icchan show his serious side. Although I wish the twins had experienced some consequences for cheating. Good fight after the cheating stopped. Also liked seeing Oujirou come to handle the cheaters. Misaki is so sweet she charms everyone around her in the end.

Rewatching this after many years.  Just watched the ep 10/11 two part fight.  I forgot how irritating this was, lol.  No consequences at all?  Seriously??  Icchan said about there being no proof, but that's not true.  Ohjiro already figured out who was using the device (not that it was terribly hard, lol) so he should have confiscated it then told Misaki to make Hikaru keep moving then when he hits the button and she falls, it's obvious that the device and the receiver are linked.  At that point I'd suspend the game and either automatically promote Misaki to the next game or even call back in the person who lost to Mao and let them fight Misaki.  If she cheated here, there is no reason to think she didn't cheat in the regionals.  

I'd ban both of them from any future officially sanctioned games.  Also man Ohjiro is a trusting fool.  He asks her to not do it again then leaves...  and lets her keep the device.  (facepalm)
