Wow for a moment, just for a while, I thought like, the father re-married. Is this why he quit his manga artist career? Such a sacrifice, this Kakushi. *laughs* Okay, jokes aside, in this final episode (#Kakushigoto12) of this wonderfully funny yet sad series... we gotta end this, right? And end this they did, this Anime. Let's talk all about it, we not doing flashbacks now we're on real time this episode haha. Firstly, about who Hime-chan actually is.Well, who the father actually is too. So, if I didn't understand this wrongly, the one guy who walked into the old house where Hime is looking through all the stuff as she was 18 now, claims that he is her brother, is not wrong because the father was somebody's illegitimate child. And yes, that I don't think any of us will expect. Of course, I don't think this is something we will infer when we refer to secrets in this series, yes? Still, Kakushi did rely on his sister to keep his secret items in an event of an incident that did happen. More on that later though. And as for the other side we know already, that the old man Kakushi was seeing in the past couple of years, is the father-in-law, and also a great painter himself making loads of money I believe. And yes also, why the family is not relying on the in-law's paycheck is because their interests in art are different. I mean, this should be obvious from all these episodes so I won't elaborate. Then, what happened to Kakushi over the past 7 years. Ah, this is the content heavy part, to be honest. Man, did they dump everything in one episode here. So, in his years of writing Tights, Kakushi himself is also trying to find back his wife. Hey, what happened to the wife, you might ask? If you believed that the mother was dead like I did, you're not entirely correct, for the wife went missing in a boat accident. Not dead until found, we call it. So yeah, Kakushi has spent years finding the wife, and with some jerk out there exposing his activities to the public, he eventually lost motivation to write his comedy story and stopped being a manga artist. He then went into doing labour which probably isn't his forte but he still had to make a living to keep Hime-chan going until at least when she graduated high school, and he did. Sadly, it was also when he got into the incident that led him unconscious in the hospital for nearly a year. Yeah, to be done by manga... he would be better off just writing them, isn't it? Which brings us to the last part of this seven year gap. Why?? *laughs* Yeah, now then we covering this I swear we talked about this halfway through already. But no less. Why? Why quit his job as an artist? Because someone exposed your lengths to find your wife? I mean, if it's a job it can still pay, so why not just continue? Well, normally artists at this point will just stop the series to make another one in hopes of changing the mood or sales or whatever in between, so he might be able to get away with this. But yeah, loss of motivation might be quite a big factor to this anyways. So yeah, last but not least, what happens now. He just regained consciousness, but... he forgets about Hime-chan. Well, not really, he knows he has a daughter. Just that, 7 years of memories have been wiped from his brain. Remember he was his by a stack of manga in the incident that got him into hospital? Yeah, that. Which is bad because suddenly Tomaruin is the editor again (still is, but to Rasuna-chan), everyone starts doing their assistant work like it's a miracle from 7 years ago haha, and the team got a new assistant... wait a minute. *laughs* Yeah, the dad just forgot that his daughter had grown up. While most of them decide to play along until he can recover his memories (including Rokku somehow, still alive btw dogs can live to a decade), Hime decided that, after hearing what the dad really wants, she really can't live with this pain anymore. So yeah, she went back to the old place, got all the works of Tights he has done over the years back into the hospital, and let him remember what happened that has been part of his life till now. Man, if you didn't tear up here go watch another Anime. *laughs* Oh and to end this, Hime-chan has a secret she now keeps from her dad: she draws manga as a side hobby now, or even in school, damn. Not dirty jokes though, more like we're going to rely on her for the next shoujo manga series hey I'm not complaining haha. Overall... wow, I don't even know where to comment. Man, was this quite a ride. Okay, I mean, if they started with this and THEN told you about the past, it wouldn't have made much impact. Although I would argue they may have pushed a little too much in telling you what may have happened in the near future, like how Kakushi has kept his secret well to the daughter, the author or production whoever did this, has managed to keep most of the actual backstory from us well too, so I would say they have done it. Making an impact. Before this I would have believed that something happened to Kakushi, unlikely dead, and he's still writing manga. But I guess not. *laughs* It's still a great series in my opinion, and just like how Kakushi managed to keep his and his daughter's live going, the Anime has gone so smoothly, I can't even complain. The weekly doses of jokes, Hime being Hime haha, and everything in between (Naru-chan!! Reporter now, by the way), this is still pretty impressive of a series overall. I, I'm just lost for words haha. Man, will I ever get such an Anime again? I doubt so. Making you laugh every episode and then dropping you the bomb? This is it, guys. I want a season two but they wrapped this one up so good, I think this is enough. Hey, Rasuna-chan you want to also give us a secret you've been keeping for yourself? We could do with a new series lol or maybe whatever your manga is we can animate that haha
