No, Kyle, I am not coming in, you need to come out to the curb and get your posterboard on the lifecycle of an earthworm. You need to take more responsibility for your things!

So Keitarou is Takumi's mother and Kusaka is the father? That's one messed up family!

I think her rushing from boy to boy on this show is an indication that she wants to be a Girlfriend more than she wants to be someone's girlfriend.

And, man, the stuff with Mari just feels so much better for her than jumping into a relationship where she has to sublimate her ego. I'm not saying she should never be with a man ever, but I think this woman needs time to get her head right before she ties herself to someone.

Sure, I can understand that. Yuka's eagerness to jump in to a relationship might be why Yuka/Kaido isn't really working out so far. Kaido is also rushing in to relationship to fill the void left by his broken dream, so Kaido/Mari will need some work as well. These platonic friendships like Mari/Yuka and Keitarou/Kaido are a good first step to making them more likely to succeed in future relationships. I mostly wanted to emphasize that Yuka is a kind person deep down with genuine feelings, even if they're a little chaotic due to her terrible past.
