It's a shame Suomi only gets a single episode, as her story has definitely been my favorite thus far. It's a simple story, really - simple enough to be wrapped up quickly - but it's very poignant. And the usage of Haruto as device was a wonderful touch. Once I realized what was going on, I just about fell out my chair, even if it was a bit obvious. Call me easily impressed, but I thought it was pretty cool.

And yes, Squid Boy's Hokkaido vacation continues. Despite getting an intimate introduction to a crate full of cephalopoda, taking an unplanned swim in the ocean, and suffering a violent beating on the skating rink, he shall not be deterred from his quest for open sky, clean air, and delicious food. Head north, intrepid traveler!
