The bones of the story are still good – and if nothing else, I dearly hope the anime won't scare you away from the manga, which I promise is good – but rather than fleshing them out, the anime is just sort of slapping some flesh-colored paint on. Yuri starts to come into her own this week, which is excellent, but the moment gets short shrift. He kisses Yuri and picks her up and talks about what he wants to do without actually doing all that much. I'm glad that the Yuri onscreen is starting to line up with the Yuri in the manga a little bit more. She's still got a long way to go, but she's getting acclimated to her admittedly upsetting situation.
