Oho, very clever to use Gammon’s sister at a point like this. Because of this, we’ve only now gotten to the point where we finally get to know a bit more about him. Before it was apparent that he already had a feminine side when he started cross-dressing, but because we’ve nearly always seen him near Kaitou, the most we managed to see of him is his arrogant jealousy.
What’s also interesting is the following: Kaitou didn’t really do anything in this episode. And yet this episode was interesting. What I mean by this, is that Kaitou is an actually good example of a male lead who has episodes of angst. The big reason for this is that the side-characters are interesting enough to take over from him, and he doesn’t force himself into the spotlights when he does need to take a bit of time for himself. Gammon in this episode was more than enough to keep it interesting.
As for Nonoha, I don’t mind her, but she’s also not really the reason to make this series worth watching. She served her purpose, though: again of allowing Kaitou to angst and instead taking it upon herself to push the story further. At this point though, she still is a bit too much like “the love interest”. In fact, a lot of the females in this show are that: Gammon has two of them, who are basically just used because they flesh him out, rather than that they’re a major force in the storyline.
Rating: * (Good)
