Minorin is not guilty but rather she has other goal in her life, beyond relationship. She wanted to surpass her younger brother in baseball and been taking various odd jobs to get money for sports college admission. She DID like Ryuji but just not enough to abandon her life dream in pursuit of sporting excellence. Being a girl though, she settle to be PE coach as her future choice since there is no female baseball league in Japan.

Ami was very angry at Minorin because she tried to pretend that nothing significant happen on Xmas night, ignoring Ryuji's broken feelings. She is pushing Minorin to resolution of her feelings towards Ryuji which we will see later in ep 23 or 24 of anime.

Thanks to her career and life, Ami is the most observant and very keen about other people, especially the one she cares about. However she is still a teenage girl as her final confrontation with Ryuji shows how vulnerable she is. In this scene, Ami was crying that no one seems to care about her and notice her feelings which Ryuji tries to rebut but got dust off by her. She ran away crying, swearing that she did not want to see him anymore.

Ami did liked Ryuji but she realised that she is too late to get his attention hence her comment of "If I have known you earlier". Vol 4 is where she tried her hardest to get him but she realise it is going nowhere so she convinced herself to be a "counselor" and a good friend to these group of people. However her feelings keep conflicting her friendship which in volume 9 finally erupted after being kept for so long inside of her.

Anyway, I heard there is game of ToraDora coming.

Why the sudden change? I mean, during the earlier scenes when Ami was introduced, she seems like one  of those people which I would say kind of egotistical, and being a model and having money, surely she's not a little girl that simply wants attention.. >_>, but author's creative license means I have no right to complain lol.

In volume 4? What kind of effort did she do? She always states it in her small voice, and when Ryuuji is going like, What? I couldn't hear you clearly. and she just goes emo and "forget what I said".

Seriously, for a model that is obviously aware of her good looks, why is she so insecure around Ryuuji, a yankee boy that obviously she could get easily, if she wanted? Or is Ami a good looking model that is insecure, which absolutely does not compute.

And what the heck is it with Kitamura? The character is totally out of whack, one moment serious, one moment lethargic, one moment ERO hero during Chrismas going stark naked. smile.gif

it is not sudden, she gradually realise her feelings and because Ryuji did not leer at her unlike many guys, she found him fascinating. She is actually kind hearted but it is just that she did not censor herself when she comment on things. She is not insecure, she realise that Ryuji and the gang are genuine people with genuine personality. That is why she sticking around them.

The beach house scene. The anime capture the essence well. Go and watch again.

Kitamura real story is Sumire. The part of him and Taiga is just an obstacle just like Minorin and Ryuji.

Don't have la, this story is written by a woman, not bunch of virgin-angry-against-females males.

No nice boat, okay?
