Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro na - ep 06
Cliché Cliché Cliché. Negotiations between Earth & Moon are going bad, and highly dependant on a successful homestay by princess Feena. Yet even as feelings develop, Feena and Tatsuya are not allowed to fall in love with each other.
The series starts off with a bang with negotiations not going too well between Earth and Moon. Shouting match goes on until the Earth’s president calms everybody down. Back in her office, the president admits that things are not going too well, and hope that Princess Feena has a good homestay. At the same time, she receives a report on mysterious UFOs, origin unknown.
Meanwhile, Feena and Tatsuya are acting kinda lovey dovey with each other. Everybody around them notices that something is not normal. Tatsuya even has dreams of Feena kissing him. At the same time, Wreathlit is following the pair around, and she receives instructions from a mysterious source that a relationship between Feena and Tatsuya cannot happen, otherwise Earth/Moon is doomed.
Things that happened include Feena picking up Tatsuya’s dropped eraser in class, Feena accidentally putting her toothbrush into Tatsuya’s cup, High-five-ing each other while serving in the restaurant.
Finally, while having icecream at the park, Feena is about to share her icecream with Tatsuya, when she warns that Tatsuya’s icecream is about to drop. Tatsuya ends up spilling it on Wreathlit who appears from nowhere.
Wreathlit ends up walking home with Tatsuya and Feena, to get her cap cleaned. Wreathlit continues to get messages about breaking up Tatsuya and Feena, something she’s reluctant to do. She ends up spacing out in the middle of a road crossing, where she’s nearly knocked down by a car. Just as she’s about to blast away the car with magic, Tatsuya comes and knock her aside, saving her.
Reaching the restaurant, they hear clues of Jin about to be thrown out of the restaurant, and carries wreathlit to one side.
In the restaurant, Wreathlit continues to look moody, but Feena correctly (or wrongly, depending on your POV) guesses that Wreathlit is just hungry. Yet later that evening, Wreathlit just disappears, taking her hat with her. This kinda upsets Feena. Tatsuya comforts her by pinching her nose once more.
However, the going-ons between Feena and Tatsuya does not go unnoticed. Mai thinks they’ll be all executed. Takano is worried. Wreathlit of course is dazed.
In the end, Sayaka confronts Tatsuya, reminding him that Feena is the moon’s princess. In the end, Tatsuya utters out that he does not like Feena at all. At the same time, in a meeting, Feena’s defence minister sees her drinking out of a cup that Tatsuya gives her. She says a simple statement of, “All you do is talk about him, you have to realize he’s an earthling… “
Later at night, Feena is seen returning home. Tatsuya is happy to see her, but they do not acknowledge each other at all.
Thoughts
Remember that Tatsuya once said that all he could do is welcome Feena when she returns home, yet he didn’t even do it this time.
It’s not that the Clichés were lousy or what, but this production still feels very much like a cheap one. Maybe it’s this moon/earth scenario thing that’s making it all worse.
Still curious about wreathlit, and why can’t moonling and earthling be together.
