Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu 10 ~I Want To Be With You~
Posted by biankita on September 19, 2008
I like this episode. Because effin yes, Yuuto and Haruka finally got around telling each other that they actually like each other. But I am too lazy to write a proper summary because it’s nothing noteworthy happened until the end. Plus the fact that I’m just too lazy to write a proper summary. So I’ll just use random screenshots in an attempt to present The Nogizaka Haruka Path to Forgiveness…
Before you click to continue reading, please be reminded that this is not a dial-up friendly post. But if you can load my Geass omakes, your computer can take it. I keep my images as low-res as possible so it’s not gonna take forever, but the disclaimer helps.
So after baking cookies and preparing tea to being to him (in breakable china???) and seeing him in a compromising position, like being on the floor on top with a weird-colored hair chick with your right hand on her breast.
.

.
Run away. Run home. Cry, then… Crying in front of him before running away is optional but you have to cry really pretty to get away with it. If you’re the type whose nose runs when you cry, forget it. It’s ugly.

.
Then have you ninja meido answer the phone because you don’t really want to talk to him. Let the bastard feel sorry about it.

.
He is still bound to feel guilty the next day so act your normal cheery self (if you are normally not cheery, it’s best not to act cheery because it would arouse suspicion).

.
Then ignore the hell out of him by talking to your underclassmen fangirls… While you’re at it, you might want to consider lesbianism – especially if them fangirls are moe. If you really don’t swing that way, proceed to the next step.

.
Even if the bitch is right beside him.

.
As a girl, the only choice you have is to shine. Literally. If you have problems with accomplishing that, watch Code Geass and learn from the lead character on how be more and more faaabulous.

.
Then continue to avoid him while maintaining your disposition… especially if he attempts to talk to you in really stupid places like in public where a lot of people can see and overhear you two.

.
Then win a beauty pageant just to boost your self-esteem.

.
When he gets you alone in a dark room to “explain”…

.
…the standard answer is always:

.
Again, you run away.

.
But not to the usual places you hang out. You must let him suffer for the emotional roller coaster he’d putting you through so you let him run around school

.
But you don’t really intend to dump him. You just want him to suffer. So you let your ninja meido tell him an obscure, weird story about herself and her teddy bear named Eric.

.
When he finally admits that he’s going to apologize…

.
…let it out already. You can prolong it, but he might realize that he doesn’t you that much and give up.

.
After that, let your voyeuristic sister and maids watch as you two make up.

.
Now that I finished that I just realize… That was crap! But it’s Nogizaka Haruka where it’s all fluff and cutesiness and so not for RL.
I was actually right. Shiina makes a crappy threat tot eh Haruka X Yuuto pairing. I guess this is the drawbacks of an anime that is filled with anti-climactic stereotypical shoujo elements. But seriously, I love that part about when Shiina asked Yuuto to dance, feign embarrassment and run away only to look back to find him running the opposite direction. The thought that came to mind was: She’s full of it if she thinks that he’s gonna come after her. Especially since he has a bajillionaire girl to look for.

*sight* if only… Thank Haruhi for doujins…
I thought Shiina was weak as a character, but I do admire her for:
A. Telling Yuuto to chase Haruka and apologice to her (instead of trying to stop him)
B. For realising that yuuto made up his mind and decided to give up on him, so she danced with another guy…
I liked this episode, and the scene with the music box was cute…
and Eric… I should have known better…

@evildevil: never tried the yuri genre. it hasn’t warmed up to me as much as yaoi has. shiina’s a good character, and yes, the stuff she did is admirable. but the scene i mentioned is the only one i can think of to be part of real life. i did something like what shiina did at least twice in my youth.

Actually, she’s more of a battle meido than anything else. But whatever works.
Meidos – They solve the problems of the world.

@xeph: in anime they can. i’m afraid i can’t say the same for the one that i have at home.

@biankita
nonono, thats no good. you really need to train your meido, otherwise she will be useless and easy… havent we learn anything from Kogarashi?…
