I totally understanded what “joy tinged with sorrow” means after reading Sasameki Koto chapter 3. The anime episode 3 showed the mood better than the previous episode.
Well, come to the most improtant scene first!
Ushio thinks it needs practice to have a perfect first kiss. She volunteers to help Sumika practice, with a amusing superman mask wore so that it won’t be her first kiss…
I couldn’t help but laugh watching this scene…
Wow, how beautiful! And the manga version is as follow:
It is more blue in manga. And the anime didn’t show Sumika’ s OS at this scene:
I came to see it even in my dreams.
My (pesudo) first kiss with the girl I loved.
The cold taste of plastic…
But it showed Sumika’ s quivering. Poor Sumika, how heartbroken you were!
Ushio prefers to practice kissing with the skeleton rather than Sumika, because Sumika is too tall to her to get in the mood…
The two meet in the sunset classroom. The expression change on Sumika’ s face from thinking her feeling have been noticed to soon realizing it is not the case is adding some sweat, so cute!!
And the manga is more exaggerating.
The anime originated some good-job scene too. Notice the lipstick? I wonder is it necessary to wear lipstick to kiss? Nevertheless, that made the two did kiss, indirectly though! HAHA!
