Well then Hisao, if Lilly departs, might she also have a fresh start? A different future that may contain better fortune for her as it did for you? I believe what Hisao asked of Lilly was very selfish. And he also says due to the onset his arrhythmia, he was given a new beginning, a new future with Lilly that has brought him much happiness and change for the better. Near the very end Hisao explains that he doesn’t want Lilly to leave because he doesn’t want her to lose everything as he did when he had his first heart attack.

I want to make a comment regarding Hisao’s thoughts on Lilly’s summons. Could the writing be any more obvious at that stage? Though I have to say, I saw the final development coming a light year away. Hisao’s condition actually plays a more significant role in Lilly’s romance than it did for Shizune’s and Rin’s, and along with Lilly’s less than ideal family situation, these two circumstances add dimension and uncertainly to an otherwise conventional love story, and further strengthens the stalwart bond they already have. Because of this, this couple appears extremely natural, as if they truly belonged together. Often times the feelings between a pair are not nearly as balanced, nor as pure, as Lilly’s and Hisao’s are.

The crucial point here, I felt, was that the love they have for each other is very genuine and equal in magnitude. There is lots of dating, lots of holding hands, lots of hugging, lots of kissing, and lots of sex, or more accurately, love making. Cue Hisao.Īs for their tale, it plays out much like a traditional romance. As Lilly’s own older sister Akira intimated, very fortunate is he who would win her heart. She is also well bred, caring, sensitive (in all her corporeal and incorporeal instruments), with a capable mind on her shoulders. Judging from the various character art of her, and Hisao’s own words, I dare say in terms of physical beauty, she outshines the rest. Lilly Satou…well, let’s first talk about my impression of her.
