happy accidents 1/2

[bluelovesorange]

Yeah, I mean, this happens all the time with you. These kind of accidents. -- Shou to Chisato, episode 8

ETA: see you @ atadan



So, consider this a retrospective of sorts, a fond look back at all the little moments, the little detours that have somehow meandered back into marvelous moonlit madness. And because there's only three episodes left and I don't know where it'll go, especially with the preview for episode nine - 100 jumps in a jump rope competition? Okay, Shinzo-san, I get you're all about indulging your inner child, but wtf? I think the lawyer and the secretary are making stuff up at this point.



The meetcute. Because nothing says future OTPing like sudden exposure to half naked manflesh, EVERYWHERE.

Shou's immediate assessment of Chisato is that she's short. Oh, blissful innocent days.



That Shou. Always such a gentleman, trying to preserve Masaru's modesty.



He helps Chisato get back into the castle and then continues to help her out in a variety of little ways -









like aiding and abetting her in getting all the brothers together, if it's a little unconventional....and later getting taken hostage for their troubles.







Oh, sparky sparky eye flirting.





















I mean, you have to consider that this is only TWO episodes in, and already they've gone through a life or death situation.





and then we meet the skeletons in Shou's closet:

his ex, Saki





Who is the mother of his child, Riki






have some gratuitous shots of Shou and Riki-kun crying! Fuji: going for the ovaries.



Chisato is always handing him stuff, isn't she?

And then when trouble in the form of prodigal eldest son, Fuu turns up, Sho's the brother that wants to hear Chisato's side of the story before she is unceremoniously kicked out of Trick Heart Castle.



Why? Because I CAN.





and he officially welcomes her back home.



Of course, it's not AtaDan without a little bit of crazy stirring up the place:


Ably provided by Fuu

Because as any drama fan knows, the course to true OTP never runs smoothly.







Especially if one half is prone to explosive bits of ass-kickery.





And the other half has an inscrutable, shady aura surrounding him.

Spending his time in her room when she's not there.









I mean, really, Shou, why do you need Chisato's bra?

Not that he's interested in her unmentionables. Oh no.


That's pitch woo, Shou, not pitch her underwear at her head.





next post, episode 7 and 8, aka: the arc of Joy.

Sho, a bra thief, how could I miss this!! *______*

because I'm obsessive compulsive?

[calledinvain.livejournal.com]

and constantly watch for things in the background and throw away details? Don't fret.

Yeah, I mean, this happens all the time with you. These kind of accidents

This really should just be Maki's motto in general, shouldn't it?

dude, I know.

[calledinvain.livejournal.com]

Stuff happens around that girl. UNCONTROLLABLE THINGS.

p.s. I am only slightly disappointed that there was NO ACTUAL STRIP JANKEN.

[uisceros.livejournal.com]

I love Sho and Chisato so much! What with them being all adorable together, plus all the eye sex they have going on in every single episode... I remember one of my first shippy posts was about how they're perfect for each other because they bicker and solve crime together! Seriously, how is that not OTP?!

I was disappointed there was no strip janken too... Why though? Obviously they have no problems with shucking off the clothes in this drama...

I am going to add this to my memories. Just *scrolling* through them makes me all full of wriggling-puppy-joy squee.

OTP greatness!
I hope you don't mind if I friend you. I need more atadan fangirling and flailing on my f-list :)

[fivethreerin.livejournal.com]

heehee. osamu!

[wistfulmemory.livejournal.com]

This picspam/commentary is made of win. I was fangirling the whole way through. It's so true that the connection between the two of them started right at episode 1. I remember seeing the preview for episode 4 and immediately disliking the ex as I thought she going to become Sho's love interest again. Loved the handguns in episode 2. I also loved (and totally fangirled) that Sho was the one who said "Okaeri" to Chisato.

I eagerly await the arc of Joy post. :)

[wistfulmemory.livejournal.com]

Oh, and the strip janken would have been a great idea. You know Chisato would have won hands down (as her luck would have come from desperation to stay clothed), and all of the guys (except for Akira because she would have been nice to him) would have been down to their sauna towels.

i love love love this! and i just joined the AtaDan community thanks to the link you provided. :) this show has to have a community with its sheer awesomeness.

anywayz OMG i was rewatching ep 6 today and i also noticed that bra that was slung on sho's arm. i was like 'eh??how come i didnt notice this the first time???'.

of course it would take a dummy or an idiot to not know that it IS a bra, and that it's chisato's. sho is definitely not either. unless he slung that bra on his arms because there was a need for it, i cant see any other reason than the fact that it's maybe because he really is interested in her.

he could even say he is not interested and threw it at her. i'll bet he's already regretting giving back the underwear to her.hahaha.

[mentality34.livejournal.com]

whoa! good eye! i totally didn't notice the whole bra thing (besides the fact that they ransacked her room).

ahh i was hoping for the strip janken to happen.
thus creating more possible "accidents" between chisato & sho.

all these caps made me rewatch all the episodes so far just to see the things you pointed out (especially all the eye flirting!).
