Summary:
At the hospital, while Asa is recovering, Ama asks to speak with Rin. After asking him if he likes Asa, Ama confesses that she’s responsible for Asa’s suffering. Asa wakes up sometime during the night and sees Rin holding her hand. At home, Kaede is regretting everything she did and cries on Primula’s shoulder. Kaede gets a phone call from Rin saying that he’s not coming home, but she stays up all night anyway watching over his dinner. When Rin gets home, he tells Kaede that he’s not going to school, deciding to sleep instead. Kaede visits home in the middle of the day, and catches Rin as he’s leaving. She starts asking why Rin is still going to the hospital. She runs upstairs crying after Rin says that she’s acting strange. Eating a boxed lunch together at the hospital, Ama suggests that Rin and Asa should go to college together. Rin and Asa are generally acting a lot like a couple these days. Meanwhile, Kaede is once again losing it partly because of her lack of sleep and constant crying. Hearing Rin talk about Asa later, Kaede mentions how Rin is always worried about Asa, but doesn’t notice that she is also suffering. After a bath, Kaede goes straight to Rin’s room and climbs into bed with him while still naked. She doesn’t want him to go anywhere, and promises to always take care of him. She leans over to kiss him, but Rin runs out despite her pleas for him to stop. He runs to the park, angsting about what to do. It starts raining by the time he finally makes a decision. Rin returns home the next morning to announce to a shocked Kaede (and Primula) that he’s leaving this home.
R-15 for this week: Kaede in the Bath, Naked Kaede in Bed.
For a little while during the episode, I actually though Kaede was going to recover, but then she loses it all over again. Rin’s pretty all-about-Asa these days, and the neglect for Kaede clearly shows. I honestly thought she was going to try to kill Rin again or something, but she surprised me by instead jumping (naked) into bed with him. Rin resists the temptation and runs out; at least that incident finally shocked him into thinking about what he needs to do. Moving out may not be the best idea, but we’ll see where it takes him. Ideally I think he should take some time out and sit down with Kaede to work things out, but there’s no suspense/drama/angst in doing that. And aside from Kaede, the other big loser here is Primula, who, as Zyl has noted before, is seeing her perfect family image being shattered.
However, there is no more doubt in my mind that Rin likes Asa, especially since they were talking about their future in the hospital. All that’s left now is how they’re going to show her ending while weaving the conclusion of the Kaede story in. That is unless they go and pull a fast one, showing something completely unexpected. But, since they’re evil and not giving us a preview, I have no idea what to expect from the next episode.
Closing Thought: I got DCSS vibes when Rin angsts about everyone’s happiness.

OH.MY.GAWD.
It’s rare that I be surprised by a harem anime even after I play their respective games.
Kaede is WAY extreme in the anime!!

Looks, like we are going to get an Asa ending. She’s one of my favorites so I think it’s great.

Nice bathroom scene =D
But Kaede totally giving off Fatal Attraction vibes.
The hospital Asa is in better have some alert guards.

Oh my god!!! Looking forward to the comment. Those pictures really scared me off.
I hope that Asa will survive, but i also hope that Kaede will find back to herself.
Thats not her true character, she seems broken..
My my, it’s getting really dramatic, i am curious what the end of the story will look like..
*Scared..*

Please dont end with it with Asa, I really hope that next time is most about Asa and kaede and it ends for Asa, arrh!!
I will reallly really hate if Rin ends with Asa.
Now onto the show, boy by looking at those Screenshots, Asa and kaede have becoming ven worse!! i thought this time something good might of happened, I just hope they dont spend to much time with somethings

But… if Rin ends with Asa only for pity, what a waste of time until now… d’m I’ll really hate Shufdle! if Rin ends up with Asa.
phil at 4:53 pm on December 1st, 2005
I just dont like how Rin has been ignoring Kaede and Primula, well I wonder what is going to happen next time ~ better not drag on~
oh! I not want Asa and Rin Either, fro me that would be the worst ending for many reasons.

What was happended with Kaede’s last pic ?
It’s look like she is losing everything! oh! no!
Give me summary please.
firebrand at 5:10 pm on December 1st, 2005
hooboy, rin sure is acting like a bastard towards kaede. can’t believe it took kaede getting naked to knock some sense back into him, although in the end, leaving might cause more harm than good. i’m DYING to see this and next week’s episode now.
Xellos-_^ at 5:23 pm on December 1st, 2005
How the hell is it pity if Rin ends with Asa? Just about everyone in the show has pointed out that Rin loves Asa. Why else would Sia and Nerine cook up that date in ep18?
If Rin ends with Kaede, that would be a be because of pity.
Lexus at 5:31 pm on December 1st, 2005
oh my buddha!, my feeling is going worse than ep.19
Dragoon at 5:35 pm on December 1st, 2005
that it scary as heck omg it’s like that really crappy movie about a swimmer who stalks him after meeting him online
Lexus at 5:37 pm on December 1st, 2005
For now I think Shuffle! is running out from game’s story line.
If it’s not, anyone please tell me what’s gonna be for next ep.?
