_Garasu no Kamen_, bluntly translated _Glass Mask_ is an old show, from a slightly older manga. I, of course, watched it with my best pair of yuri-goggles . . . I had to give up on Maya/Tsukikage-sensei, even though it might have been nice, both of them are too sure what they need the other for, and aren't going to expand that. Sigh. Rei is really cute, but there's nothing there :( Ayumi. Ayumi is obsesive, vindictive, spoiled, and even had the shoujo-sparkles when they first met ^_^ Proper foil for, kind, generous, lower-middle-class, not going to high school because her grades are too poor for public school and she's too poor to pay for private school, Maya? Or maybe a little more? I need the rest of it, from ep 24 on. * In the waiting room, after the auditions for Helen, where Ayumi was just staring her best psycho-bitch stare . . . * The two girls sat, mostly looking forward, waiting for the results of the audition. Himekawa Ayumi glared at the other girl, at the blank stare she has aimed at the wall. Kitajima Maya couldn't be better than her, couldn't just sit there without a care. She suddenly smiles, just a tiny bit, and not a nice smile, either. She leans over and presses her lips gently to the other girl's, pressing her tongue inside when Maya starts to protest, smiling against the other girl. After a moment she breaks the kiss, and settles back, a tiny smile on her face as Maya gasps, stares, eyes wide, fingers to her lips. That was much better. * --- log: 2004/Aug/27: Watched the last of what I have of _GnK_ 2004/Aug/28: started, log added.
