Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl (かしまし ～ガール・ミーツ・ガール～) Vol. 3 Bittersweet Decision by Nakanishi Nobuaki (2006)
9 November 2007The 3rd volume of this light hearted series filled with quite a bit of fan service diverges heavily from the manga, and then quickly ends, and in this case seems to have 2 separate endings, now maybe this stuff happens later in the series, but here is is to sped up, and they skip such major storylines that it is really a let down. And with the 2 endings they try to go both ways. I also didn’t like losing the whole story of Hazumu going to die, so he must find true love or he will die. Where did the whole Yasuna not being able to see anyone come from (unless it was later in the manga). It starts where volume 3 does, but then diverges quickly.
Hazumu (大佛 はずむ, Osaragi Hazumu played by Ueda Kana) wants to go to the aquarium with all of his friends. Yasuna (神泉 やす菜, Kurusu Tomari played by Horie Yui) and Tomari (来栖 とまり, Kamiizumi Yasuna played by Tamura Yuka) have made friends, and promised not to push the relationship past friendship for now, but Tomari has to go to sports camp for school, so it looks like Hazumu will be alone with Yasuna.
REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS…
They have a great day, and then buy everyone presents, and they take the train to go give the present to Tomari, but when she comes to get them Yasuna is hugging Hazumu because the train guard scares her because she can’t see her face. Tomari takes this as a betrayal. Hazumu and Yasuna miss the last train, and have to stay, and Tomari ends up going for a walk with Hazumu, and kisses him, and Yasuna sees it and it makes her vision problem get so much worse, so now she can’t see anyone anymore, not men or women, so she plans on leaving.
Hazumu is forced to finally make a decision, and he does, he decides to stay by Yasuna’s side, because he knows he can help her, and maybe that love can cure her, even though it will mean saddening Tomari. And when he confesses his love to Yasuna she is cured, and they become a couple.
Then six months later Yasuna realizes that Hazumu has cured her, and she can stand on her own, and she wants to, and then pushes Hazumu to TOmari, and the two who have loved each other for so long are able to be married as they had promised as kids, and can live happily ever after.
•••••
Weird, and it seems too forced to end this quickly. This series should have been allowed to be so forced into such a quick ending, because the story felt truncated.
