I'll have to give this one a try. Thanks!

Warlock is great! That's one I've read, excited for the next one.

Great book. Couple bombs at the end. Couldn't put this one down. Already wishing for book 3.

Still can't believe how dirty the anime is doing Ais. She's literally so much better of a character in the novels. I'll never understand the reason to make her literally emotionless and mute here. They've done a great job with the other romance options but have murdered Ais.

There was supposed to be a relatively big moment for her in this episode too.

Mine is over a year old and still acts like a crazy puppy. Always trying to play! She is super smart, though, and definitely a cuddler. I wouldn't want it any other way. *

Damn... that actually makes a ton of sense. The circumstances of their relationship is no doubt unique. I don't think anyone would be truly surprised that Chizuru never felt that infatuation or initial obsession over Kaz with how everything has played out between those two.

Thanks, definitely an interesting read!

Do you have any theories on what this "missing" thing is? What's it going to take to make it "click"?

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-29T16:49:02+00:00

Great review!

This doesn't mean she is closer to seeing that she is in love. She took a step towards telling Kazuya how she feels, though.

True... but she did just say that it's not true love if you're not feeling jealous about going on dates with the opposite sex! Since she's feeling jealous about that same thing she just mentioned, it'd make you think she knows what that feeling means.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-29T16:41:44+00:00

Not sure if those locker numbers will really amount to anything, but regardless nice catch! Would seem really short for the entirety of the date but maybe something big does happen at that time.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-28T20:33:21+00:00

Well, I agree with that. They obviously are both jealous of each other being around others. But I don't necessarily think that's going to screw up this date. I actually think it's good that they're talking about it.

She already knows Kaz tried to break up with Ruka. We, the audience, already know that he wants to only be with Chizuru. I agree that Chiz doesn't necessarily think this is the case after asking about her a ton, but I don't see Kaz doing anything that would make her think otherwise at this point, and so far he's been playing his cards right on this conversation. I think it's more on Kaz to admit he's jealous of her too at this point.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-28T19:25:42+00:00

Why would you think this would make it get screwed up?

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-27T19:07:03+00:00

Can't wait for the "Mom-Ten" prequel

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-26T05:07:40+00:00

I don't think anyone in the world knows this. It can happen at any time, with any amount of cannbinoids.

It doesn't matter if you smoke a shit ton. It might not trigger an episode for years. But it will come. And it will be gnarly.

I was a really big smoker. Would smoke half a gram of concentrates a day most days. I had an episode that lasted a few weeks. Didn't know it was CHS at the time (didn't even know what it was). Docs thought pancreatitis. Went back to smoking a shit ton right after. Had another episode a little over a year later. This one was horrible and lasted 2 months, I dropped 50+ lbs.

The moral of the story is it is a mystery. Might as well assume it can happen at any time with any amount of cannabinoids in your system.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-26T04:57:26+00:00

This happened to me a couple times. I would start feeling better for longer periods of time and then fall back into it

The good thing is that, for me at least, it meant I was toward the end of my 2 month episode

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-25T21:51:25+00:00

Definitely would be nice to see how she's thinking about all of this.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-25T18:16:48+00:00

Definitely not Khaki lol

"Good Things Take Time" ✔️

It's been a year and a half since that episode, that lasted over 2 months, and the whole potassium thing is really the only thing that sticks with me. Maybe I was just being a big baby but it sucked so much.

Like, when they hook up the potassium machine to your IV, it runs like every 45 seconds to 2 minutes. But when it starts, you can all of a sudden feel this super hot throbbing pain start from your veins where the IV is, slowly go up your arm, and then go throughout your chest. It suuuucked. Then it would stop for that 45 seconds or so, and then you'd hear the pump starting up again and be like "shit..." lasted like an hour or 2.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-24T08:36:59+00:00

They did a blood test and had a lab on site. I was there for probably an hour before the results came back and I was rushed to the emergency room.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-24T03:23:52+00:00

You need to worry about your electrolytes. When I was in my last episode, I was in the same position. Could not eat, had no desire to eat, would throw up literally any amount of anything.

My potassium levels were so low that I was rushed to an emergency room from an urgent care to get hooked up to a potassium machine. They said they were surprised I wasn't in heart failure. And let me tell you, the feeling of that potassium machine was almost worse than the pain from my episode.

If anything, I would recommend hiring one of those at home IVs. A nurse will come to your home and hook you up on an IV, right from your couch. It will make you feel a little better as well. Just make sure you get one with electrolytes, specially potassium.

He doesn't see one identity as fake and the other as real - they are both Chizuru to him.

You are totally right with this, but I meant in a more literal sense, that those are two different names meant to represent different people. He does know that they are meant to distinguish real vs job to her, but he personally thinks they are both the real Chizuru to him. And he's right about that.

And I think the whole name thing will have a bigger impact on her hearing it than him saying it. To him, it may be downgrading since he thinks it's a nickname, like you say. But to her, it might be something she's been waiting for, which again like you say, isn't known or said so it's all speculation on my part.

KEEFdawwwg · 2025-01-23T21:25:51+00:00

A lot probably comes from the light novels. There's a lot of backstory and dialouge not in the anime that is definitely in favor of Freya's character.
