'cause drugs are a west-exclusive thing.

I just binge-watched the first 14 episodes over the past two days. I love it, and wonder now why I didn't pick up on this series before. If someone had told me Round Table did the opening when the series first started I would've been all over it XD

Although now I'm caught up and have to wait for new episodes. Bah.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've seen up to 17 and it's really kind of pathetic to keep watching Satou get screwed over time and time again. Entertaining, yes, but also pathetic.

I picked up the first volume of the manga at Waldenbooks a couple of days ago, but I can't gotten a chance to read it yet (english paper :<)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Speculation time!

Spoiler:

I think Misaki herself is a hikikomori, and this whole effort to "save" Satou is just as much about saving herself as it is her. She has her job, but you never hear about any of her friends, and when she was leaving school during the pedo-episode she wasn't with anybody. She also fell for the Pres' dupe for the Hikikomori medicine.

As far as episode 20 goes

Spoiler:

Yamazaki out of NOWHERE. It was kinda nice finally hearing some back-story on him and why he's developed into the kind of guy he is.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
