Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds Episode 2 Review: Jingi Is Still The Worst Boy

Jingi is still the worst boy of this show. He never elaborates and he was the cause of the problem today. He’s so annoying! At least, he gets comeuppance for his actions at the end, so there’s something. However, I just cannot stand him.

In Episode 1, his crimes were drinking in front of minors, throwing Yukito off of a bridge, putting him in a bag and then throwing him into an Ara-Mitama. Today’s episode has increased his crimes. He littered and told his water blob summon to pick it up, angering it in the process. When will Jingi ever become likable?

But hey, we get a few new characters today. We are introduced to Haruaki, Yako and Chataro. Haruaki is Jingi’s senior disciple and also trained under Makoto. He’s a very beautifully designed character. Look how pretty he is! He’s also a lot more reliable and powerful than Jingi. He specializes in wind magic. He also knew Yukito when he was younger. It makes me wonder if Yukito will finally get proper training if Haruaki takes him in because I am tired of Jingi’s vagueness and his refusal to elaborate on anything.

Yako and Chataro are Haruaki’s pupils. They have cute designs, so they’re probably going to be important later on. Yukito, who has been a loner most of his life, is shy around them. I hope they can become friends.

There’s also that red-haired guy from the post-credits. He appeared in the previous episode and now here too. Just who are you and what’s your role other than being the cool guy voiced by Yuichiro Umehara?

The only thing I got from this episode was that Ley Masters usually take odd jobs to earn money. Their income solely relies on job requests to pacify Ara-Mitamas. I just hope this entire show isn’t going to be a formulaic one. I need some answers on why Yukito is so special.

However, I’m still sticking around because Haruaki seems like a good character. I’m interested in him.
