After Ep. 3, my will to watch this show waned a lot. Fortunately, the drama picks up more in this episode, and there are points I was willing to overlook or accept for the sake of adapting this manga for TV. Arikoto’s cross-dressing scene in Ep. 3 was not one of them, so I’m still a bit sore about that.
Warnings: spoilers for the manga and drama, including some from later episodes/chapters.

After seeing Shirasaki, my friend drove us to Kôya-san (高野山) in Wakayama.
The first thing I noticed was how completely different the weather was–it was snowing!
