Early in the morning, Hazumu is going up the mountain, thinking about how much she loves both Tomari and Yasuna.  Later that day Tomari goes out to see Hazumu, but Hazumu has also just left to see Tomari, and they miss each other.  They meet later at the school roof and both girls have someting to say.  Hazumu tells Tomari that she’s made up her mind: she wants to be with Yasuna.  Tomari is obviously a bit down when hearing this news, but she hides it by spraying Hazumu with water.  Hazumu also takes a hoze and both girls keep playing with the water until they are soaked.  While they are drying in the sun, they remember how they used to play and get into trouble when they were younger.  Tomari then tells Hazumu she wanted to play together for this last day, and so the girls leave.  In the meantime, Yasuna is packing her stuff.  Tomari and Hazumu are having fun the whole day:they go biking, eat a large icecream, go to a cd shop, try to get plushies out of a vending machine, go karaoke and they end their day out at the shrine, where they make a wish.  Hazumu asks Tomari what she wished for, but Tomari wants to hear Hazumu’s wish first.  Hazumu tells her that she wished for Yasuna to get better, and Tomari replies to have wished for the same thing.  Tomari wants to go home then, but Hazumu still has a last request: she wants to ride the same bike with Tomari, like they did when they were children.  Tomari talking about going to the sea like this makes both girls sad and when Hazumu starts hugging Tomari they fall.  Hazumu starts to cry and Tomari tells her she doesn’t want to see her like that.  Tomari tells Hazumu that she will always love her and be proud of her, that she will be proud of Hazumu’s children and grandchildren, causing Hazumu to cry even more.  Then Tomari tells Hazumu to go to Yasuna, but when Hazumu starts walking away, she calls out her name, telling Hazumu not to throw her away.  Hazumu runs back to Tomari and hugs her.

And you’ll have to see the rest for yourselves!  I really don’t like to spoil so I won’t.  If you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t watch the rest of the screenshots either, because I did take screenshots of the whole episode!  All I can say is that I think this series had a fitting ending.  I liked Kasimasi a lot so now I’m very eager to see the 13th dvd episode.  My guess is it will be something like the Onegai Twins OVA, a small side story on how life goes on after everything got solved.

Hazumu and Tomari notice that Yasuna has seen them kiss.  Yasuna tells Tomari that she really trusted her, and then she wants to run away, but Tomari repeating the same things makes her run towards Tomari and Hazumu and hit Tomari in the face.  Tomari slaps her back and asks Yasuna why she and Hazumu were embracing eachother.  Hazumu wants to explain, but Tomari is so angry she doesn’t listen.  When Yasuna turns around to say something back at Tomari, she can’t see her anymore.  Tomari has become a grey spot, and even Hazumu dissapears before Yasuna’s eyes.  Completely in shock, Yasuna collapses.  Hazumu and Tomari take Yasuna back to the dormitory, and have the doctor come.  After the doctor leaves, Hazumu doesn’t want to leave Yasuna’s side.  The next day, Yasuna’s mother comes and picks up her daughter.  Tomari mentions how Yasuna seemed not to recognize them, and Hazumu realises what must have happened.  At the hospital, a doctor tells Yasuna’s mother that indeed her daughter can recognize noone anymore, not even her own mother.  When Yasuna gets home, Hazumu is waiting for her.  Inside, Yasuna tells Hazumu about how her condition has gotten worse, and she makes Hazumu realize that it’s her fault.  When Hazumu has left, Yasuna tries to recognize Hazumu’s face in pictures, but she can’t.  Then she quickly tries to drawn Hazumu, the way her face is printed in her memory, but even her memory of Hazumu’s face starts to fade.  When Hazumu arrives at home, Tomari is waiting for her.  She tells Hazumu that her feelings haven’t changed, and that she won’t give up on her.  She then asks Hazumu to tell her clearly who she loves most; but Hazumu runs into the house, saying that she can’t think about Tomari right now.  Tomari runs away, and goes to her spot by the river.  When she starts crying, Ayuki happens to walk past and she comforts Tomari.  The next day Hazumu is making plans with Asuta, because she doesn’t want to be alone.  Ayuki sees the two of them talking and gets angry.  When Asuta notices a pot where two plants are growing, Hazumu tells him they’ll have to pull one out, otherwise both plants will die.  She can’t decide which one to pull out though.  Suddenly Ayuki appears and pulls out one of the plants.  She starts to make Hazumu clear what she’s done to both Yasuna and Tomari by using the plants.  She says that Hazumu won’t make a decision, and when both plants have died, she will cry, not for the plants, but for her own indecisiveness. In the meantime, Tomari is brought to the infirmary because she has collapsed.  She had been running after she hadn’t slept the whole night.  At home, Jan-puu and Sora are getting ready to leave.  They never got the results they needed so there’s no more reason for them to stay on earth.  Hazumu asks Sora what results he’s talking about, and Sora tells him that the people on his planet suffer from the same condition as Yasuna, they have lost interest in eachother and are incapable of recognizing each other.  Sora had hoped to heal Yasuna through love, but his plan failed because Hazumu is afraid to fall in love.  Meanwhile, Yasuna meets up with Tomari at the mountain.  Yasuna tells Tomari about her condition, and says then that she will give up on Hazumu because she can’t see her anymore.  Tomari responds that even though Yasuna can’t see Hazumu, she knows that she still wants to be together with her.  She knows that Yasuna needs Hazumu more then herself, and she tells Yasuna she’s happy that it was she who was her rival.  Yasuna finally calls Tomari "Tomari-chan" and both girls shake hands.  At 4 AM, both Hazumu and Yasuna are still awake, thinking about something, and Yasuna seems to make a decision.

This episode was good, it doesn’t really tell you who Hazumu will choose yet, although you can guess.  I watched the last episode as well, I’ll put it on the blog as soon as I can, but I’ll try not to spoil ^_^

We see Tomari pack her suitcase.  Then she thinks back at the promise she made with Yasuna: to leave things the way they are for now, so they won’t cause Hazumu more pain.  The next day, Hazumu has four tickets for Sea Side Park and she wants to go the day after with Yasuna, Tomari and Ayuki.  Asuta feels left out again, but this time, even Hazumu has no compassion for her friend.  Yasuna is very excited about going, but it seems Tomari can’t go with them: she is leaving on training camp for 5 days.  Ayuki also says she has something to do the next day, so Hazumu and Yasuna want to go some other time.  Because you can only get a keychain from the park the next day, and Hazumu really wants it, Tomari tells the two girls to go together.  Yasuna asks Tomari if it’s really ok if she goes alone with Hazumu, but Tomari reminds her of their promise and tells Yasuna she trusts her because they are friends.  Ayuki then asks Yasuna if she will be successfull, but Yasuna says she thinks that being like this is fine. 

At home, Hazumu’s father is making his camera ready to take lots of pictures of Hazumu at the aquarium, but Hazumu’s mother stops him. Meanwhile, Jan-puu is sad because she and Sora have to go for a few days, and she wanted to go to Sea Side Park with Hazumu.  At trainingcamp, Tomari overhears some girls talking about a kiss, and she remembers the time when Yasuna kissed Hazumu and in her imagination replaces Yasuna for herself.  The girls then ask her what she’s thinking of and ask her if her love is Hazumu, and when they tell Tomari that it can never work between them because Hazumu has changed into a girl, she gets angry.

The next day at Sea Side Park, Yasuna and Hazumu are having lots of fun and one moment they come into a room with sea fireflies.  It is so romantic, and they are surrounded by couples, so Yasuna grabs Hazumu’s arm and leans onto her shoulder.  Then Hazumu says she wants to show this to Tomari, and Yasuna remembers their promise and lets go of Hazumu.  When they are buying souvenirs, Yasuna suggests to surprise Tomari and bring her souvenir to her trainingcamp.  They go there by train, and then Hazumu calls Tomari, because they don’t know the location of the training camp.  While Hazumu is calling home, a man who works at the station tries to warn Yasuna that a train is coming.  Yasuna grows scared though, because she can’t see him.  The man comes closer and Yasuna starts to scream.  Hazumu runs over and tells the man that Yasuna can’t deal with strangers very well.  While she is still holding Yasuna to comfort her, Tomari arrives at the station.  She sees Yasuna and Hazumu, but from her point of view it looks as if they are kissing.  Tomari is shocked and feels betrayed by Yasuna.  She acts as if she hasn’t seen anything and takes Hazumu and Yasuna with her.  It seems there are no more trains back home, so Hazumu and Yasuna have to stay at the training camp for a night.  That evening, Tomari runs into Hazumu in the bath, and Hazumu tells Tomari that she looks like a fine lady with her hair down.  That night, Tomari can’t sleep and goes outside, but Hazumu wakes up when she leaves and follows her.  They then go and watch fireflies together, and Hazumu is very happy, but Tomari can’t hold back her feelings anymore.  She undoes her pony tails and asks Hazumu if she really looks like a women.  She then leans in to kiss her.  Yasuna, who is standing a bit further, watches them kiss and now she feels betrayed by Tomari.  In her anger she crushes the figurine they got at Sea Side Park.

The friendship between Yasuna and Tomari didn’t last very long, they have become rivals again.  In fact it’s all Hazumu’s fault, she should make up her mind.  I think Tomari should have asked them what that hug was about, because this all started with a stupid misunderstanding.  Tomari looks a lot better with her hair down though ^_^  I’m curious what will happen now, Yasuna seemed rather angry.

Hazumu is having a dream about when she was a child.  She sees a pink and a white circle, but then the circles turn into Tomari and Yasuna, who run away.  Then Hazumu’s mother picks him up and runs away with him, while he’s crying.  The next day, Hazumu is sitting in a drinking place with Tomari, Yasuna and Ayuki and can’t decide what to take.  Tomari says that he’s always been so indecisive.  Ayuki then mentions the festival that’s going on at the shrine, and the four girls decide to go together that evening. Asuta, who is sitting a little further, feels left out and asks them to meet him there at six.  Ayuki says to meet at five and tells the girls to wear yukatas.  Tomari’s in a pinch, because she doesn’t have a yukata, but she doesn’t dare to tell the others.  Therefore, she decides to go and buy one, but they are all too expensive.  Luckily she meets Yasuna at the shop, and she is willing to lend Tomari a yukata.  In the mean time, Hazumu and Jan-puu are getting ready for the festival, and Hazumu’s parents tell a story of when Hazumu was young and went home crying after the festival, but Hazumu can’t remember. 

When they arrive at the festival, both Hazumu and Jan-puu are very excited, and Tomari and Yasuna both feel relieved.  It seems they noticed Hazumu’s sad face before, when mentioning the festival.  The girls are having lots of fun at the festival, and have completely forgotten about Asuta, who is still waiting for Hazumu and dreaming.  Namiko-sensei is also there, dreaming about Sora-sensei ^_^;  After a while the girls get hungry and Jan-puu wants to eat cotton candy.  Hazumu asks her which she likes best, the white or the pink, and Jan-puu says she likes pink best.  She then asks Hazumu the same question, but Hazumu can’t decide.  At that moment, Yasuna offers Hazumu some candied apple, and Tomari offers him some takoyaki, and Hazumu can’t decide again and runs off.  Sora-sensei finds her alone and uses the antenna on his head to read Hazumu’s memory.  When Hazumu was young he went to the festival with his parents and wasn’t able to decide which colour of cotton candy he wanted to eat.  Suddenly it started to rain, and they ran home, without any cotton candy.  His mother told Hazumu that it was his own fault and that one day he would have to make an important decision and be unable to do it.  Hazumu then starts crying because she realises that she will have to choose between Yasuna and Tomari, but she can’t.  The two girls happen to overhear Hazumu and Yasuna asks a favour of Tomari.  When Hazumu returns, both Yasuna and Tomari are carrying a cotton candy, a pink one and a white one, and Hazumu can have both ^_^ Then the girls go at the annual ritual, where one has to choose between two cups.  Tomari and Yasuna encourage Hazumu to choose, and even though she lost, she is happy that she was able to make a choice.  Then the fireworks start, and while the three girls are watching them together, Hazumu prays to God to give her a little more time, and that the three girls can stay together a little longer.

With only three episodes to go, it is clear that Hazumu will have to make a choice.  I felt sorry for Asuta in this episode, but I guess, as the story is coming to an end, there is no more room for him in the story, now it is really focussing on the three girls.  I am really curious who Hazumu is going to pick, I still think it should be Yasuna, but that may be a personal preference.

We see a young Ayuki, who watches a butterfly been born out of a chrysalis.  She then decides she will never become as beautiful as the butterfly.

Sora wants to learn more about love and therefore he has organised a test of courage in the school.  Hazumu doesn’t want to go though, because she’s scared.  Tomari tells her not to be such a coward and promises to go with her.  When Hazumu is watering the plants at the rooftop, she hears people talking and decides to see who it is.  It appears to be Ayuki rejecting a boy, saying she’s already in love with someone else.  When she spots Hazumu, Hazumu tells her to do her best, but she says she won’t. 

Tomari goes to Yasuna’s house to give her the photos of their trip to the sea, but Yasuna appears not to be at home.  Her dog is, though, and it chases Tomari away in fright.  When Yasuna returns, she is very happy with the photos.  She shows one of the three of them together to Tomari, and says that Hazumu looks very happy, it must be because Tomari was there.  Tomari says it must be because Yasuna was there and the girls wonder which one it is.  Tomari invites Yasuna for the test of courage and that night everyone gathers at the school, where Namiko-sensei is waiting.  Sora and Jan-puu have dressed up as ghosts and have hidden inside the school.  The group gets divided into pairs and Hazumu is very happy he got paired up with Tomari, but Tomari seems to feel sad for Yasuna, who is paired up with Ayuki.

Once inside the school, Hazumu is too afraid to open her eyes and clings onto Tomari, which embarasses the girl.  Meanwhile, Yasuna starts talking to Ayuki, and she finds out that Ayuki is also in love with Hazumu.  Ayuki tells her not to worry, though, because she won’t step onto the stage.  Then they hear Hazumu scream and Yasuna runs off to see what’s wrong. 

Hazumu screamed because she saw someone lying on the floor.  It’s Namiko-sensei who seems to be very frightened.  Yasuna arrives and then they see what scared Namiko-sensei: Sora in a ghost costume.  The three girls get scared as well and Hazumu runs away.  When they see it’s only Sora they go on, and Tomari invites Yasuna to come with them. 

Meanwhile, Asuta is walking around the school by himself.  Jan-puu hears him coming and thinks it’s Hazumu.  When she realised she’s got the wrong person she summons an alien to eat him.  Asuta runs away and reaches Hazumu’s group.  When Hazumu sees the alien eating Asuta, she’s so scared she really runs away this time.  Tomari and Yasuna decide to continue the test of courage together.  In the mean time Hazumu has hidden in a class room, where Ayuki is watching butterflies.  She tells Hazumu that she had always been happy with just watching them, and that now, she’s also just happy with watching everyone. 

Tomari and Yasuna reach the roof alone.  Yasuna thanks Tomari for inviting her, and the two girls seem to have become friends.  Then Hazumu arrives and they watch the stars together.  Ayuki is watching them and says that Hazumu is starting to spread her wings.
