10 Second Anime - Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren - Episode 10

Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren - Episode 10


Sophia loses her powers as her love for Yuuta comes back. The other girls notice, and maybe Yuuta too.

It's the dog days of summer, and Shichimiya can't fall asleep. Not because of the heat, but because of her own feelings for Yuuta. As with Rikka forgetting to put her eyepatch on when she was having trouble fusing her delusions with her feelings for Yuuta, Sophia's heart sticker on her cheek has trouble staying on. She can't continue being the Magical Devil Girl forever.

Touka notices her awkwardness with Yuuta at the local water park, and asks the other girls about her. Such a protective older sister. Ciento thinks that's boring old people stuff, though.


Was that Isshiki all tan working as a lifeguard there? According to Yuuta and Rikka, "Who?" With Touka planting a seed of curiosity in our little spies, they break out the binoculars again, and definitely see a sigh of love sickness. They grill her later, and she has to admit her feelings have come back, but she tries to put on a brave face.

Rikka is still on her mission to find the Dark Flame Dragon, which is just how she's manifesting deepening her relationship with Yuuta now. This turns out to be the reason Rikka gets separated from Yuuta at the summer festival, and ends up shoulder to shoulder with Shichimiya under a small shrine to avoid a sudden summer rain.

By asking Yuuta how much he cares about Rikka, Shichimiya hopes to break her heart fast enough to get over him. As he runs off to gather Rikka, who found her "water demons" too tough to handle by herself, Shichimiya thinks his devotion to her will seal her heart. But he had to be a good guy and bring back an umbrella for her. Not fair, Yuuta. That's not kindness to a young maiden in distressed love. Yuuta may finally have seen a problem here, with the rain mixing with Shichimiya's tears, he sees the heart sticker on her cheek get washed away. I don't think we're done with all the crying yet.

Stray thought: with all our chuunibyou girls losing their fantasy powers as they fall in love, an obvious metaphor for growing up, what happened to Shinka? If I remember correctly, Yuuta was embarrassed by his behavior because he started liking a girl, and had his heart broken over it. Similar things are happening to Rikka and Shichimiya now, so what happened to Shinka? Maybe Sophia the Magical Devil Girl knows...
