Lol, I was caught off-guard like Hikari and Miuna at the end as well. I wonder how or why that exactly happened, though... I was looking forward to that potential kiss.
You know, as much as I love this anime, I'm looking forward to the end. I don't really want it to, but I am getting more and more excited to see the ending to the point I should probably start preparing myself. It's faint, but I feel that the ending's not going to be very happy. Well, it still might be happy, just more bittersweet than anything. And I don't know how I'm going to prepare for that. But it's a little peaceful, so the ending may be sad while it all falls into place nicely in the end.
It's going to be interesting to see, nevertheless.
