Luna triangle was... tolerable.

Now we get another one, in the span of one episode.

Sigh.

Livius is definitely what keeps me watching, and how Nike reacts to him. Why the rival development? Can't they do something less cliche? How about a common goal that they can both contribute to? How about an uprising that has nothing to do with romance? How about an economic crisis that they need to cooperate to solve? How about an assassination attempt at Livius that leaves him vulnerable and makes Nike assume the role of his savior? Noooo. We get a blond dude molesting Nike. Classic shoujo.
