Thank you, sir. This needs to be stricken from ALL anime/manga. |

I'm not bothered by it. Probably because I'm used to seeing fangs in classic 80s and 90s anime and manga such as Urusei Yatsura. It's strange that they use the same colour for the fang and the flesh, though. |

Episode 7 is definitely an improvement on the formula that they seem to be going for here. In previous episodes it seems like Shinichi wants nothing to do with Uzaki and he is always frustrated when she is around, but in this episode we see Shinichi actually invite Uzaki into his life in an endearing way. Up until now, Shinichi hasn't been willing to indulge Uzaki in whatever crush they seem to have on each other and that has made it seem like Uzaki is just harassing him.
That being said, Uzaki still invited Shinichi out to a bar with the intention of making Shinichi pay the bill. That's a jerk move. I'm also not buying the fact that Shinichi doesn't want to get closer to Uzaki. She has invited him to shower, invited him to bed, and tried to kiss him. We still don't have a sense of why Shinichi hasn't embraced her. It's weirder than it is cute. |

I just need it to not be skin color in the anime. It's fine in b&w in manga, but seeing it in color animated

What's the deal with the eating motion thing the cafe owner and Ami like to do? This latest episode seemed to suggest that they are supposed to be eating rice. Is that like the Japanese equivalent to making a comment like "*grabs popcorn*" when you're watching some kind of conflict or something from the sidelines?

Basically they're treating their fetish like food, so seeing those two bicker is like having a meal. It's like when a "lucky sukebe" moment in ecchi anime geta closed with a "thanks for the meal" from the male character. |

Ah, watching Uzaki and the main dude is a "treat" for them. Maybe I should have figured that out, but I'm not sharp enough for that. Thanks vonPeterhof for the more detailed answer. Now I don't feel as dumb. |

Was this cursed close up of the flesh fang always there in the OP? It will haunt my dreams now.

I actually find Uzaki's flesh fang cute - THERE I SAID IT!!!

We should start a flesh fang supporters club. Is it abnormal? Absolutely. Is it ugly? No way! |

I have yet to actually watch this show, but one of my favorite characters from Laid-Back Camp also has a flesh-fang (as it's apparently called now), and I've never really minded. Heck, even her little sister seems to have it, so it is probably a family trait of sorts.

Woo-hoo, we flesh-fangers our letting our freak flag fly!
... In other news, I continue to enjoy this show. Like the cafe owner and daughter, I eat up the Uzaki-Sakurai antics. |

I've been trying to figure out why I enjoy this quirky anime and I think it's because it reminds me of a very old American TV show. They are like, and I'm aging myself here, Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton from the TV show The Honeymooners; best friends, with the one driving the other nuts. I know there's no romance between those men, but you can see how much they care about each other most of the time. Like The Honeymooners, Uzaki just drives Sakurai crazy, yet there's a deep friendship that can or will possibly fertilize into something more and if it wasn't for Kenji Akabane and Naomi Ozora's wonderful acting, especially the little back and forths, it wouldn't show as well. This series will never win any creative rewards, but it's the two main characters that keep me watching, rooting for them to go that extra romantic step. I will say Uzaki was annoying at first, but with this episode and the last, I am now a full-on fan of hers (I'm a sucker for over enthusiastic female characters) and I couldn't help but care for her even more when she was drunk or when she was doubting herself. As much as I like the manga, I enjoy the anime more. Oh, and you can add me to the flesh fang club. It fits her perfect.

@ njprogfan - now there's a comparison I never expected to see, but it certainly fits! It's funny, I've become so enamoured of the Uzaki-Sakurai relationship that I'm actually starting to resent the looky-loos who surround them (not just cafe owner and daughter, but Blonde Guy, too), especially when they veer from voyeurs to active interferers. Just leave them alone! They're not hurting anybody and they'll be just fine figuring things out on their own.
