    Yeah, the Takanashi family is one of the better parts of the series. I was very amused by Izumi not actually standing, or Kazue and Izumi's various exchanges (either about being weak or being divorced and scary). Nazuna being the Queen of the house was great too. Like animus, I also find Kozue endearing. She's a drunk, but Souta is still her one and only little brother. She dotes on him to a point, and depends on him a great deal as well. Her getting upset enough to smash his door but the be dissuaded by the bunny she bought him was cute.

    I also found a strange allure to the relationship between Takanashi and Inami. The rape line was really funny, but the whole interplay with the Magic Hand is rather interesting. He uses it to keep himself safe from harm, and Inami in turn is both pleased and really annoyed at it. She is even more embarrassed that she has to hold 'hands' with a plastic grabber. It jabs right at her frustration that she can't get over her androphobia and has to rely on a plastic device to get close to anyone. On the other hand, it shows that Takanashi is putting forth a great level of effort to stay on good terms with her and not have to avoid her. That has to piss her off at least a little, if not incite her guilt.

    He's also probably the only man to ever know her well enough to give her a gift. She was super embarrassed, but wears them anyway. She might be unrealistically violent, but in the end, she is just really really really really shy.

    edit: I must have watched Izumi crawling away in fear from Kazue a dozen times.
