Adventures In Cuteness: Yamaguchi Ayumi

Ayumi Yamaguchi as Shouko in Churasan
Churasan: Mada Mada, or, "Ain't You Done Watching That YET?!"

Sigh. Yes, I’m still only up to Episode 124 of Churasan. Several of you have mentioned to me how surprised they were that I hadn’t finished the Kuninaka Ryoko asadora by now after all these months, but the truth of it is, ever since Eri and Fumiya got married and had a child, it became like watching a real married couple, i.e, interesting for them and their family, but not so captivating for me personally.
Just about the only storyline going on that interests me is the growing relationship between Keitatsu (Yamada Takayuki) and Shouko (played with adorable sweetness by super-cutie Yamaguchi Ayumi) but it’s rough having to sit through three “Eri's baby” episodes to get a single “Keitatsu and Shouko” scene…
Really hoping they expand on their storyline…they’ve JUST confessed their attraction for each other in this latest episode, so things are looking good! And speaking of looking good, yep, I’m really starting to develop a crush on Shouko-chan…She's SUCH a sweetie, and she gives the most hilarious of "stunned faces" LOL
Hahaha, what a HILARIOUS parade of flabbergasted expressions from Ayumi! Note in the above pics that Kuninaka Ryoko herself looks particularly adorable as well, while poor Aiko Sato strains to be in the conversation...LOL
