Saiunkoku Monogatari II Episode 3 – 類は友を呼ぶ (Like breeds like)

Mysteries [partially] revealed, yet much more mysteries introduced that would seem to play a vital role in the plot twists that’s going to happen throughout the season. A strange cult movement, the short span of time Eigetsu has left to live, and the reappearance of the silver-haired man who Shou Taishi knows… all these in this exciting episode of Saiunkoku.

On a lighter note, we also see a glimpse of how “serious” Reishin’s adoration for Shuurei is, which, although funny and entertaining to watch, can’t help but make you shudder and feel ‘disturbed’. With regards to the title (Like breeds like / Birds of the same feather flock together), I’m not completely sure what bound the entire episode to it… This is clearly depicted in Ryuuren and Kokujun’s relationship though, who unexpectedly became close to each other despite their differences. It must have something to do with the relationships that ‘binds’ people, as Shouka mentioned, as well as other relationships between the characters in this series.
