The Things Reflected in Yasuna’s Eyes
やす菜の目に映るもの

“Man, men are all the same! Can’t tell one from the other.” I hear ya, Yasuna.

Whoa, I am only like a year behind in Kashimashi updates! Yikes. Let me get on that. :P

  • Summary

Hazumu and Asuta are walking to school together when Hazumu asks Asuta if he has a person he likes. He freaks out because he (wrongly) thinks Hazumu is trying to get him to confess to her. But then she says, “Sorry, you aren’t interested in romance, right?” and breaks his poor wittle homosexual heart.

Meanwhile, Tomari is working hard at practice, trying in vain not to remember Hazumu and Yasuna together in the garden. When Hazumu arrives at school, Yasuna and him/her walk to class together, leaving Tomari behind.

That day there is a class sketching excursion, and Yasuna tells Hazumu to sketch with her. But then Tomari butts in and tells Hazumu to sketch with her. Dilemma!

Hazumu’s sensei asks her to bring the old art exhibit sketches from last year out of storage, and she winds up seeing Yasuna’s sketch from last year. The sketch is perfect except that all the boys are formless shapes, and Hazumu is sketched out, but his face is not drawn. Sora comes to look at the sketch and ask Hazumu if he hasn’t “noticed” yet. Hazumu doesn’t know what he’s talking about, so Sora tells her that she doesn’t understand anything.

Back at home, Hazumu’s dad is trying to get pervy and sneak up on her in the bath, while she angsts about not understanding anything about Yasuna like Sora said. To add to the angst, it starts raining outside.

The next day at the sketching field trip, both Tomari and Yasuna vie for Hazumu’s attention and sketch with her. Yasuna sketches a nice picture of her as a girl, while Tomari sketches one of her as a boy in middle school. Both girls bicker a little bit before Tomari freaks out and tells Yasuna that she understands nothing and reprimands her again for breaking Hazumu’s heart in the past. Hazumu screams and tells Tomari to stop, so she runs away. Awkwaaaard.

After school, Yasuna’s stopped by Hazumu before she can walk home, and tells her that she wants to know more about her and understand. They go into an abandoned classroom together and Yasuna explains that she can’t see men. It had started with her father. His face began to become featureless, and now all men are like that. She can’t tell them apart. (Maybe because they’re all the same! Har har).

It is because of this that Yasuna rejected Hazumu when he confessed to her, because she didn’t want to hurt him in the long run. She had actually liked him before, and then Hazumu became a girl, so now Yasuna has pursued her. Then she freaks out and says she doesn’t know what to do, and runs away. After a little thinking by herself, Yasuna gets a determined look on her face and runs back into the classroom, goes up to Hazumu, takes her hand, and tells her that she doesn’t want to have any regrets. Then Yasuna kisses Hazumu. Hazumu thinks, “I must accept this kiss, because Yasuna has already been so hurt. But Tomari comes into the room and sees them kissing! Oh nos!

  • Episode Review

Jeff has already touched on this a little, but I also wanted to express my dissatisfaction with Yasuna’s inability to see men. It is over-the-top, and I think it provides an unnecessary obstacle to the plot. Yasuna can just be a lesbian—she doesn’t need to be inable to see men at all. A normal confession of her lesbian starting as a child would have been much more interesting to listen to. I would love to hear her talk about being heterosexual and then becoming more interested in girls than guys because of how they look or act or whatever. But this inability to see men makes her lesbianism look more like something she is forced into than something she has decided for herself. Like it is the only sexuality available to her.

I thought Hazumu’s “acceptance” of the kiss was pretty lame. It was as if she went along with it because she felt an obligation. What happened to the passion from before? I wanted to see her smile and at least enjoy the kiss. Everything seems so pained.

At least this episode ended on a very dramatic note, and I can only look forward to see the developments next! Despite my minor concerns and complaints with the anime, Kashimashi is shaping up to be a decent love triangle story.

By the way, Pu is seriously annoying. She needs to cool it and turn back into a ship (with absolutely NO audio) or something. :\ The less Pu in Kashimasi episodes, the better.

  1. You’re on a roll!
    And I enjoy your summary/review/rant (kidding) as always!

    I hear you about Yasuna…it would have been better if she had been naturally attracted to females. It would have been a flaw to her love to Hazumu (= her not being able to love him solely for his personnality) and a trial to cope with her homosexuality. But now, Hazumu’s gender change has little impact I think.
    Still wonder how it will end.

  2. Oh no. It’s me again. Haha.

    I agree with you about the “forced lesbianism” thing- it’s very irritating, considering she was the only character that seemed to be full-out-yuri, and now it seems she’s only “yuri by default.” This show is confusing me in many aspects in that I don’t know what they’re trying to say.

    Sometimes I’m like, “Wow! Progressive. They’re emphasizing more on Hazumu, rather than on his/her gender. Maybe they’re trying to make us see that love is genderless.”

    And theeen they go and put in this in. =/
    Jeez.

    (And when you think about it, if Yasuna, irritating character that she is, liked Hazumo before, isn’t only because he’s the ONLY male she can see? Once again, another “by default” situation.) Aiya.

  3. Actually showing Yasuna’s lesbianism as a condition from her inability to see men is rather different from other shows where the lesbian/gay characters come into it naturally.

    You guys may not agree that’s not natural and prefer that Yasuna was naturally attracted to females but give them props for trying something different with homosexuality.

  4. I don’t think it’s different at all, considering most of the yuri in manga and anime out there is crap- just bi-curious girls being played up to give fanboys fap material, or there’s some “other” reason why the girls are gay.

    They’re never just “actually” gay. =/ You’ll find “real” yaoi love stories, but not “real” yuri love stories. They’re all like overly-hyped and construed.

  5. I have to agree with yer about the inability of Yasuna.

    Oh and Deena is partially correct. There is only one “real” shoujo-ai story I heard of. *coughmaihimecough* But yeah… alot of “real” yaoi stories than shoujo.

    AND PU IS REALLY ANNOYING MUST AGREE WITH YER!
