? I think I said in the summary that she can tell which one is Setsuna, but she can’t tell the other two apart.

Oh, they are. The layout I’m using just cuts off the edge of the picture. If you right click it and just say “view picture” you can see the whole thing.

Thanks for this family chart.

I guess its customary for nobility to marry their relatives.

Oh Gyokuka seems to have made an appearance in ep 28 ^^

Here’s something I have wondered. If Setsuna is supposed to keep his identity a secret. ie no one can tell him apart from his brothers. How does that work for his marriage to Gyokuka? How does she know who her husband is?

(I am only asking this because Shuuei had to out smart his bros. by proving he could tell them apart.)

umm Shuuei and Ryuuren are not on your chart! ^^

Yuushun is a huge mystery. His family is never discussed concretely in the books. We are just given some hints that whatever his origins are, they’re quite interesting.

As for Kou Kijin, we get some new background on his clan in the 3rd gaiden, but so far he’s the only member of his clan to show up, so it would be kind of hard to make a chart. XD

Do you have the link for that?
I would love you forever if you would give it to me. Summaries are nice but actually reading it is different.

thank you

I’ve not watched season 2 of the anime…from what I read in the novels it is really dislike for each other, though in all fairness they are aware of each others’ abilities…

argh NO! Seiga and Shuurei so far have NO chemistry atleast not the way the anime pulls it off. Maybe later on we might see some REAL sparks x_x though I still find Seiga a despicable brat!

Juusan seems pratical though and she’s willing to marry Ryuuki if he ask her because she has come to realize that while she may love another man being with that man is more painful and harmful than being married to Ryuuki who’s sweet and could make a good husband.

Don’t you agree that Shuurei and Seiga’s “stage” is like foreplay? hehehehe They really come on to each other like wolves each time, but you could see them admiring one another despite of it all. (rofl! darn, i can’t believe myself pushing for this)

yuushun’s background is a mystery =0. And I think it is one that is quite impactful, from the hints they were dropping in the novel!

Dun recall much being said about the Kou family though…

fufufu yeah, i’m not too sure but I didn’t catch where Reishin mentioned his preference for Ryuuren, but I supposed Shuurei would be less restricted as Mrs Ryuuren than Mrs Ryuuki.

Heheh but tantan’s proposal was just cos he was asked to do so though =0. Anyways tantan’s #1 is his papa :P. He’s not just smart though, but street smart …in a way
