Arika is now officially enrolled in the acamdemy. We got a glimpse of Haruka and Yukino in the previous episode, but this was the first time we get to hear them speak. We learn that Haruka and Shizuru were rivals back in the day. I’m glad they kept the relationships from “Mai-HiME”. Natsuki also mentions her rival without giving us a name. Anyone who has seen “Mai-HiME” would know she’s most likely referring to Tokiha Mai. If you watch the preview for the next episode you can clearly see Mai on one of the posters. That probably means we’ll get to see her in the series sooner or later. It will be fun to see how Natsuki interacts with Mai in comparison to “Mai-HiME”.
