I haven´t talked about Nabari no Ou for a while, even if it´s getting better and better with every new episode. Things like Yoite and Miharu´s deepening relationship and Raikou´s flamboyant actions are too tempting to not talk about so from now on, you have to bear with weekly episode commentaries of Nabari no Ou. The fact that this series is constantly making me chuckle won´t help me to keep my mouth shut anymore.

What´s happened so far: Koga´s ninja village invited other clans to their village, which is a school. Everyone came because they want Koga´s medicine kinjutsu scroll Daya for their own reasons. One of the teachers, Kannuki, is scheming against the headmaster while student council is trying to save him by using Daya. It requires bodies of young ninjas to work so Koga´s students are targeting school´s visitors. Miharu and co. are lured to basement where student council attacks and knocks them out. After taking serious damage from Shijima, Yoite asks Miharu with tears in his eyes to save him from dying. Of course Miharu responds to this and finally decides to use Shinrabanshou for something, awakening it by doing so.

Yoite and Miharu have gotten awfully close with each other. In a fight, Yoite protects Miharu with everything he have. Outside of battle, Miharu supports him emotionally even when Yoite pretends he doesn´s want that. Before he just blackmailed Miharu to erase his existence and turned down kindness Miharu showed to him. At last in this episode he opens up to Miharu when he makes his plead. Miharu also admits that Yoite´s not just annoying death god and actually wants to know more about him. There´s very nice development in both Yoite and Miharu´s character when you compare this episode to the 6th episode. Back then they were apathetic and in their own worlds. Now they have something to protect and a goal in life. Yoite is desperately clinging to life so his existence can be erased and Miharu is trying to help him to keep his life so he can erase him. In Miharu´s case, he also wants to help Yoite love himself before he´s gone. We still don´t know why Yoite wants his existence to be erased, but despite their means to achieve it, Yoite and Miharu´s goal is the same and their teamwork is excellent.

Btw. Raikou´s lovely so I definitely need to highlight his brightest moments. This week he blackmails Koga´s student with tickling.
