I really like how both Kaori and Natsuno think that the other is stupid--Kaori thinks Natsuno is dumb for not realizing Megumi's crush on him, and he thinks she's stupid for not recognizing that Megumi was repeatedly and unashamedly violating his privacy. They don't really get closer in the anime, though. If anything, Kaori and Akira form a team, and also Akira and Natsuno bond more...I wonder if I can expect Natsuno and Kaori to have more friendship moments in the novel? I don't ship it yet, but I could.
Speaking of ships, one of my weirdest ones is Chizuru and Seishirou. I just find Seishirou's unrequited feelings so heartbreaking. She's like his senpai.
Maybe jinrou just automatically recognize each other. I think this part kind of foreshadows the future conflict between Natsuno, Kaori, and Akira against Tatsumi. One of my favorite parts is also when Tatsumi ties Akira next to Maeda's bed to get eaten, if the novel doesn't have that part I'll be so disappointed.
Tumblr would probably say that peeking into a boy's room is okay because they need to get a taste of their own medicine or whatever. With a girl, it's probably more creepy because there's all kinds of dangers of assault or taking a video of the girl and putting it online. Not that it's okay if that happens to a boy, because it's unacceptable for anyone at all. But, I guess in this case there was never a danger of Megumi smashing through Natsuno's window and assaulting him while he's doing his homework.
As for Akira, probably depends on how old he is. In the anime, I though he looked about 8 or 9, and that's too young to understand the more adult dangers of getting stalked, so if he were actually that age, he'd probably laugh it off. But he's older here (6-7th grade), I like to think he'd be more protective of his sister. I think he acts protective in general all the time, though?
But Kaori is actually braver than him, though, because when Yuuki didn't let them guard Natsuno's bed, Kaori suggests that they guard his window. Akira is freaked out, and Kaori just asks "are you scared?" like a total badass.
I also like how after hearing Natsuno's arguments, Kaori starts seeing Megumi in a different light, too. Throughout the story, it's cool to see how she goes from idolizing Megumi to seeing her for who she really is.
