Bit of a so-so episode this time around, this series while really nothing too special was getting much better with each episode, actually this one did start off quite well but by about the halfway point went a bit downhill and never recovered, not a bad episode just a letdown after the previous shows. Still not sure where this drama is going to end up, this episode had Urara's(Emi) mother coming to visit her and was really shocked to find out she was staying with her father who she hadn't seen for 15 years, for a while thought Urara's parents were going to get back together, perhaps not this episode but by series end but that didn't happen as her mother returned back home before the conclusion of the show. Four episodes to go and like I mentioned still not sure how it's going to turn out but that's a good thing, too many dramas are predictable, just hoping it's a quality ending to an okay show to this point, usually have two posts for screenshots for each drama but Manami was barely in this last episode so just put the few pics of her in Emi's post.

Erina Mano: Mano Date photobook scans part 1
Have really just recently discovered Erina, had seen her in the SPEC TV movie from earlier this year but didn't know hardly anything about her, really need to change that as she's really one incredibly cute woman and talented too, been enjoying a few songs of her's too as of late. What this is is her photobook Mano Date that was released in May of this year, really solid collection of pics, close to 100 in all and they're spread out over the next 4 posts, enjoy these terrific pics of Erina's and will have more things of her coming up in the future.
