Oh, the frustration...
Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season Episode 5 Review
<< Warning: Spoilers >>
I have to say that season 2 was frustrating for me due to Kazehaya & Sawako's lack of communication. The focus shift to Yano, Chizu & Ryu breaks the monotony. (I totally love this three!) Pin's surprisingly sharp perceptivity of Kazehaya's feelings is hilarious, and his talk at the canteen was a job well done on his part! (Ironically, Pin is somewhat dim in other areas.)
I don't know why many hate Kent. Kent is a breath of fresh air, speeding things up by forcing Kazehaya to take action. Without Miura's butting in, Kazehaya wouldn't have the urgency to make his feelings known and would surely take his time. I'm sure Kent sensed that Kazehaya and Sawako had feelings for each other but still needed confirmation. So, he befriended Sawako to find out what Kazehaya sees in her and talked to Kazehaya to test his reaction. Kazehaya's vague responses made Kent misinterpret his kindness towards Sawako as his normal behaviour, which tells Kent that Kazehaya's kindness is bringing about Sawako's seemingly one-sided puppy love. Kent probably wanted to stop Sawako from setting herself up for future heartbreak and gave her opportunities to expand her social circle by volunteering her as a tutor. After seeing Sawako's smile, Kent realised what Kazehaya saw in her. I'd say he seemed pretty surprised as well, so it could have triggered some of his emotions towards her.
The final scene in this episode made Miura realise that Sawako's feelings towards Kazehaya were too serious and he said what he said out of desperation to snap her out of it. Miura wouldn't be too worried about breaking them up, because if Kazehaya and Sawako's feelings towards each other were strong, they wouldn't give each other up so easily. Rather, I'd think that his efforts will bring them closer. On the other hand, if Miura succeeds in breaking them up, Sawako will move on and grow stronger as a person (and maybe Miura might get the girl). It's a win-win situation for me, at least.
There. My speculations are done for now.
