The character designs are really super moe in this show.

For some reason I can't connect with Tsukiko's character. Sure, she's as cute as they get, but I can't get past the conflict between her rather proactively emotional personality (that impossibly doesn't get through to Yokodera, at least not where it would count for her) and the lack of visible feelings. I'm cool with genuinely emotionless characters, kuuderes and such, but Tsukiko's situation annoys me. If it's an emotionless girl, then she's supposed to be one and have the dude break the ice and heal her, but if she isn't emotionless, then she shouldn't act as if she were.

Thus, I find Azuki much cuter than Tsukiko, at the moment. Of course she's a sad case because she has been turned down. That means she can't really further the plot, at least not for herself. All this means I don't particularly want her to get lots of screen time anymore, even thought I don't find her annoying, because it would be wasted time.

Steel Queen certainly was surprising in this episode. I wonder what kind of movie she watched as a reference for her seducer act.
