lesbiassparrowUm, I am in a bit of a bind here. I have my traditions from seeing the lovely melodrama of Meteor Garden and reading the manga, but still Rui and Makino are a strangely attractive couple. And he has that whole 'I say little but I stand on sidelines being enigmatic'* thing going for him. And that is a very powerful thing.
I'm up to the horrid engagement dinner of Shiguri and Doumyouji, where I feel her parents should be thanking the heavens that they found a man who would want to be in the same room as her for more than five minutes. Look: you've got the most appalling daughter in the world and you can't afford to be picky. You should just thank the lord that you don't have to marry her off to the idiot son with no chin and 3 legs.
ETA: The only downside to Rui is his rather horrible taste in footwear. White patent shoes and dark trousers? Abomination!
*And helpful. Key to his appeal is that he is very helpful in a silent and probably rather emotionally scarred sort of way. But still, he would make you cups of tea and sort out taxes even as he dealt with emotional fall out in a possibly dangerous silence.
