Dat talking cat.

This arc just keeps getting more and more weird. For Suzuka though, I think she should appreciate people more. That bath scene was priceless though.

That was quite the serious ep. I thought it might just be comedy or something. So nice to see the plot and characters moving :D

Natsume and Harutora's reactions to seeing Suzuka was so lol XD

The familiars doing chores was lol XD

Suzuka was so cute throughout the ep. Esp the hotspring scene. She's already found out about Natsume=Hokuto and is even being considerate for her. She's such a tsundere. Acting all tough but actually caring about Natsume's feelings. Suzuka is so much <3

Loved Suzuka's conversation with Touji. Nice seeing Touji having complete control over his first phase of the Oni mode. Interesting to know it was Suzuka's dad who controlled this Oni. More indicating it's not a normal Oni.

Youjo loving senpai was so lol XD...Loved how Harutora was provoking her with Kon hahahaha...Kon was so kawaiii <3 and how she totally gave up was really funny XDXDXD Nice going there Harutora hahaha

Natsume was really cute in the bed scene with her bakatora. Anywa, finally Harutora is on the way to figure it out. At last. I wonder how he'll interact with Natsume nxt ep. Or will he keep it hidden for now? Touji and Natsume listening to Kyouko, Suzuka and Harutora's conversation about Hokuto was a nice touch too. Loved Touji's expression.

Well I keep hearing it's gonna get awesome from here on. Can't wait :D

I don't think Harutora actually knows yet, he's still doubting himself. Being as dense as he is I doubt he'll actually find out unless Natsume tells him the truth herself. I wonder when we'll get the reveal where Kyouko finds and Harutora was the kid from her childhood.

I see that no one started this topic so :

1. The conversation between Kurahashi and Yasuzumi ...Kurahashi said that one of his (Yasuzumi) familiar took care of one of her students ,so in my mind can mean only Touji so here comes, Harutora's dad it's actually Yasuzumi's familiar :|.

2. If 1 is true then who is Harutora? is he really from a branch family? who are his parents ??


Edit: I just thought that he can be a real familiar like Harutora but if he is not like that :-??

Another good epiosde

All dat foreshadowing.

It's interesting that it was Touji who asked Suzuka about her father and Two Horn, but it makes sense considering what happened to him. I really like how Suzuka's development is being handled here.

Now we have a new element here Yakou's Raven Coat which can somehow identify who truly is Yakou. If Natsume gets this she maybe able to clear her doubts.

Is he really that dense? Everyone in this episode stated they found hard to believe anyone could control a familair like that.

Harutora's reasons for not knowing Hokuto is pretty legitimate given the circumstances. Furthermore unlikely your average MC he learned about mid season on his own opposed to the end of show. His doubt isn't unwanted since aside from a few traits Natsume and Hokuto really don't act much alike.

Whelp, Harutora finally realizes that Hokuto was Natsume's alter ego. Surprise, surprise. Hopefully that'll get him realize Natsume loves him.

Hokuto's pestering for Harutora to become an onmyouji shows how lonely Natsume is without him. Hokuto pretty much is the epitome of what Natsume want to become but couldn't because of her family burdens.

I'm happy about Harutora, he finally realized it about Hokuto and Natsume.
Next episode will be new story arc Black Shaman ASSAULT and it looks like the next episode will be aired on 7 Jan due to holidays.

Wow,, real thing starts here.. Well, at least he has a clue now about 'Hokuto' and it's in episode 12/24.. midway of an anime unlike some stupid protagonist that until the end never grow a brain *cough*Ichika*cough*.. This show really grows on me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard there is 4 more volumes of light novel to cover? Is it true?

My rating for the first half: 8/10
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

Pretty good setup episode, just like the balance of the comedy and drama in here.

Those familiars look quite difficult to train them. LOL they are relief that Suzuka is not going to that training camp, until she arrive ahead of them XD. Needs more information about this Twin Horn Syndicate and Yakou stuff. Looks like Harutora finally realizes about the ribbon Natsume is wearing...

Well this episode answers more about my questions about Suzuka's feelings for Bakatora.

Looks like Natsume may not be the Yakou descendent. And after 11 episodes Bakatora finally realize who Hokuto is.

finally, took him long enough, as Natsume's familiars name wasn't obvious enough and the same phrase they used. Probably don't know how she feels even if she confessed to him straight on.

Yes you're correct. Episodes 1-12 covered till volume 5 of LN. Episodes 13-24 will cover volume 6-9 and it looks like each volume will be covered in 3 episodes. Next arc is Black Shaman ASSAULT.

Good news. Looks like someone translated part of Volume 1 LN.
First 2 chapters of Volume 1 is out on Baka-tsuki. I hope the translations continue in a long run.

I wonder if that "Partnership" that Touji was referring to Shizuka about was that he wants to be her familiar?

Um did you missed the episode? He told Kyouko that he knew Hokuto liked him from her confession, but didn't know if he himself felt the same way. Harutora had also already asked Natsume about the dragon and she told a half-truth. He trusts her a lot that's why he took her word for it. If Harutora was really that dense she wouldn't have to go this far just to trick him.

This is honestly one of the best episodes thus far in terms of clarity and content. I agree with someone's speculation above that Harutora is the real Yakou. After all, it was Harutora who saw memory fragments of Yakou when Suzuka's spell was broken up way earlier in the series. Given that plot is usually not straightforward anyway, it makes sense for the author to bait the readers with a presumable Yakou (Natsume) while holding off the reveal.

But as the plot unfolds, I'm looking forward to Harutora figuring things out with Natsume. Sure, Harutora is kind of dense, but he certainly isn't dumb.

I found Natsume's ability to reduce and grow her boobs at her will very fascinating...

Anyway, good episode, looks like Harutora is not that much of a idiot after all..

Also Touji is by far my favorite character so far, not only he has a great sense of sarcasm but he also looks extremely baddas in ogre form... cool as fuck if you ask me
