For some reason I can\u2019t necessarily put my finger on, I found this episode of Yubisaki to Renren<\/em> a bit more engaging than the first three. \u00a0Nothing fundamentally changed as far as I can tell, it just didn\u2019t annoy me as much. \u00a0Maybe it was the presence of \u201cCostaco<\/a>\u201d, which certainly got a guffaw out of me. \u00a0I can\u2019t remember ever seeing Costco in anime, and it\u2019s always struck me as a quintessentially American concept – endless excess – and fundamentally antithetical to the Japanese shopping mindset. \u00a0But they\u2019re very popular here, and by Japanese standards especially the pizza is good. \u00a0Not to mention those comically huge tiramisu<\/a> (living alone renders Costco a lot less useful).<\/p>\n

I still want to know, though – what\u2019s with all her male friends literally manhandling Yuki? \u00a0That hair thing Oushi did on the train – I mean, what the hell? \u00a0Obviously we know Itsuomi can\u2019t keep his paws off – patting her on the head, dragging her around by the hand. \u00a0It would be easiest to just write Oushi off as a complete jerkwad and dwell on it no more, but it seems pretty clear to me that the author doesn\u2019t see him that way. \u00a0And Itsuomi is clearly supposed to be much-desirable and a great guy (certainly he is by Yuki) which makes him impossible to dismiss.<\/p>\n

What I did like here was the exchange with Kyouya, where he told Yuki that Itsuomi had an unfamiliar tone of voice when he called out to her. \u00a0This brought home to Yuki that she doesn\u2019t have access to a very important cue in relationships. \u00a0She reads emotions into people\u2019s hands as a sort of instinctive bypass for this, but is she really reading people or just projecting? \u00a0I do wonder if someone in her position would be more at risk from an unsavory guy just out to exploit her (which for the record I don\u2019t think Itsuomi is). \u00a0The way her mother shields her from the world certainly doesn\u2019t help Yuki\u2019s readiness for such complexities.<\/p>\n

That whole side plot with Emma is a dead end for me, and the less we see of it the better. \u00a0Rin and Kyouya are somewhat better (and more amusing), and the overall vibe of the Cotsco trip was among the best in the series so far. \u00a0For reasons I\u2019ve already elucidated I\u2019m giving Yubisaki to Renren<\/em> more play on the leash than I usually would, and while I was pretty close to cutting the cord before this episode, I\u2019m inclined to go at least one more week based on there having been at least some progress.<\/p>\n

I must say, that episode was a bit of a mess in narrative terms. \u00a0But interesting nonetheless. \u00a0There was a little too much going on here to be honest – too many threads getting tangled up, too many names being bandied about, too many new characters moving in and out of frame. \u00a0It kind of worked anyway but not as well as it would have with somewhat less clumsy exposition and smoother narrative flow.<\/p>\n

One of the names tossed into the salad here was Ikegami Shouichirou, but it was appended to a character we already know. \u00a0A pickpocket<\/a> asserts it to be Shuragami\u2019s true identity, but if such a name exists in the history books I\u2019ve not heard it. \u00a0Meanwhile Shizuma and Sumie have a close encounter on the streets without realizing it, and it doesn\u2019t take a genius to figure out they\u2019re probably going to end up on opposite sides of a conflict before the series is done. \u00a0The main thrust of the episode chronicles the \u201cHunting Club\u201d, a group of fat cats who hunt and kill women for sport, led by a wealthy merchant named Kuraya<\/a> (again, not a real historical figure than I\u2019m aware of) with friends in the high places of the Meij government.<\/p>\n

One name you will<\/em> find in the history books is Archibald King, though you\u2019d probably have to be searching for it. \u00a0He was a British merchant tried and convicted for raping a 13 year-old chaya girl in 1875 and sentenced to six months imprisonment – a sentence so light it caused a minor scandal in Tokyo at the time. \u00a0Whether the guy Ikegami-Shuragami is sent to collect yakuza money from is supposed to be him, I have no idea, but it\u2019s asking a lot of coincidence that they chose the name randomly. \u00a0Shizuma and Osanai end up going rogue to face Kuraya in defiance of the superintendent (ordered to stand down by the corrupt councillor Kido, ordered to order it by a blackmailing Kuraya). \u00a0Ohkubo Toshimichi returns to Tokyo in time to re-open the case and send the cavalry, and apparently to Watergate the list of prominent officials part of the club. \u00a0This whole subplot is completely fictional as far as I know.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s the name any anime fan or student of Japanese history certainly should<\/em> know – Fujita Gorou<\/a>. \u00a0That\u2019s the alias Saitou Hajime used when he went to work for the police and government after the revolution – both in Rurouni Kenshin<\/em> and real life. \u00a0He\u2019s sent by Ohkubo to silence the lone escapee<\/a> from the Hunting Club, and as big a name as he is (and his seiyuu, Okitsu Kazuyuki is) I can\u2019t imagine Saitou\/Fujita isn\u2019t going to play some role in the story going forward. \u00a0All this is certainly fodder for some interesting drama, but I hope in future episodes it\u2019s presented with a bit more restraint and dexterity.<\/p>\n
