People who have been keeping up with my MAL probably noticed that I already dropped Himitsu off my list, after mentioning nothing but praises for the show in my one and only blog post for it.

With the first four episodes of Himitsu, I was spellbound. For the first time in my life I thought I was seeing the world through Shimizu Reiko�s eyes. But then for some reason, the magic the show had on me gradually worn off, and after 6 episodes, I feel like I�m just dragging myself to watch the succeeding ones (and hence I didn�t get past episode 7 any more). I can�t pinpoint exactly what drove me away from this show. Perhaps it�s Aoki, the angsty siscon to whose thought patterns we are made to conform to with each episode, or the chief who remains as monotonic as ever (Tomokazu Seki was such a waste on him). Issa-sa had this very sentiment right after episode 3; I only felt it after 6 episodes.

Prepare for cheesiness and emoness!

Weeks after I watched Tokyo Marble Chocolate, I still wondered why I loved it so much. Despite having said my thoughts on the OAV in my review, I can�t help but think there�s got to be a deeper reason why it pierced through the depths of my heart. I wasn�t able to give this much thought, until Owen brought about the idea of a Personal TMC post for the ABC Valentine�s special, as we reflect on the show and how it relates to our personal lives.

It didn�t take me long to find out the answer to this from my TMC-loving heart. Let�s just say I was able to relate to both Yuudai and Chizuru, the stars of the show. Surprising as it may seem, I found myself being in both ends of the spectrum, though not in a romantic relationship setting. I�m a romance n00b like Eriko after all, though not as eccentric and lacking in common sense.

I am sure a lot of you have noticed that Haruka ????, Kana?????, and Chiaki�s????? names contain the kanji for spring, summer, and fall, respectively. So, with winter missing, is there some chance that there is a fourth sister?!

Read on to find out about my little discovery about another Minami. Also, read about Alfred Adler’s birth order theory and how it affects the Minami sisters and us as well.
