Chrome Shelled Regios

I'm not so sure of Nina's lead. One thing making the situation so complicated is the fact Layfon himself doesn't really seem to be interested in romances. I suppose he considers them all his friends, but even his concept of a friend is someone whose safety he must protect at any cost, and that's it, more or less. I guess such a twisted view origates from his past as an orphan, who ended up protecting the other orphans at the cost of his own position as a heaven's blade receiver. Somehow I doubt he loved even Leerin back then when everything was still well.

In the end Layfon might be far more damaged goods than Felli. Although I'm kind of pleased he hasn't changed that much. Makes things more interesting, even if at the same time I wish he would get together with Felli.

I don't know, the one girl he seems really attached to is Leerin. He certainly missed her in the earlier episodes. The question is whether or not he sees her as a love interest, or merely in a brother-sister way. Nina certainly had that dramatic re-entry scene, and while Layfon was going crazy killing filth monsters while she and Zuellni were away, he seems to have a greater awareness of Felli's affections. This might be because she is a little more forward than Nina has been. Nina seems to have only realized her feelings recently.

To be honest, aside from the uncertainty with Leerin, I think Mei-Shen in actually in the lead. Layfon is now very aware of her, though she has not been in the picture the last few episodes because she can't take care of herself like the other girls (Leerin thanks to Alsheyra's murderous support for her well-being). I fully support a Felli-win, but I don't think the anime will continue long enough for us to see a conclusion.


Stranger still is the world's connection with the Engrish Land. Nina, Leerin, and Felli have all seen Saya in a vision, and Alsheyra mentioned her name aloud.

/desperately hoping for another season (there are 12 volumes of the novels currently out).

But it was Nina that caused the greatest emotional reaction from Fon Fon. Granted, it was partly because of guilt, and I don't doubt that if Felli or Leerin disappeared in the same manner, Fon Fon would worry quite a bit. But so far, Nina has been made out to be the main love interest, with the scene when Fon Fon fainted on Nina's breasts near the beginning, the classic love-hate-love transition, the mid-air hug, and most of all Felli's jealousy at how Fon Fon looks at Nina at present. They now seem to share a bond that he does not have with Felli. I'm not sure about Leerin though, since we have barely seen her interact with Fon Fon.
