Funny.... I was quite excited about Hotaru No Hikari 2...

... but the plot doesn't make sense!

Fine, they didn't kiss at the end of the first season. It was odd but somewhat understandable considering the plot of the drama.

However, six episodes into season 2, they still haven't kissed. What kind of relationship is this?

For starters, they agreed that they loved each other at the end of the first season. At the beginning of the second season, three years had passed and apparently, Amemiya had been working abroad the entire time and didn't contact or respond to any of Bucho's letters and what not. So three years, no contact. Why did she do that? No explanation.

She moves back into their home and next thing I know, he proposed they get married. What? To someone you haven't even had any relationship with in three years? And not because she was in a coma but because she just didn't reply?

Fine. Bad enough. Now they are "working towards marriage" a marriage without passion it seems, because 6 episodes in, there's still no physical intimacy despite the fact that they actually live together.

I've only seen 3 episodes so far and while it's funny and still has the Season 1 vibe, the fact that their romance is still like this is off putting for me. So for now, it's on the back burner. Will I pick it up again? Remains to be seen.
