Finally, I was wrong about something! Unfortunately, that something is very minor. Of all plot points the show could use to mislead and surprise us, it chose Saeko being an evil scheming pyschopath? Clearly even they think that the plot is nonsense, if that's all they were able to come up with for the preview! What else can you expect from a romance drama where none of the characters know what love is?

Shitsuren Chocolatier Episode 7
Everything I guessed in the previous review came true, again! Surprisingly, even though I knew it would happen, I thought the scene was well done, as it had me hanging on every word that was being said.
Shitsuren Chocolatier Episode 6
It almost seems like everything I wrote in the last episode actually happened. Somehow it made watching all the less exciting, because I didn't expect it to be this predictable. And things are becoming even more disappointing, because to fulfill the predictions, the story began to veer towards simpler characters and an unrealistic story line again. I wonder if the manga also has this zigzag from reality to ...being a typical manga plot?
Shitsuren Chocolatier Episode 5
Plot twist: It turns out that this is actually a love story between Souta and Erena. Shitsuren Chocolatier depicts the adventures of a young guy who found true love thanks to his high school sweetheart. Everything that happened thanks to the influence of Saeko was just to bring him closer to Erena, whom he would never have met otherwise. Now the plot changes from Souta running after Saeko to the two finding their mutual love.
Shitsuren Chocolatier Episode 4
As the story begins to slow down, my impressions of the characters begin to converge; in this case, to the exact opposite of what I thought in the first episode. This episode further solidified Saeko as my number one character to root for, Souta as utterly useless, and Kaoruko as highly annoying (although from the preview it looks like it's going to get worse). The only constant in the show is my desire for Ricdor's chocolates...
Shitsuren Chocolatier Episode 3
The winners of this episode are Olivier and Saeko, though deep in my heart, everybody's a winner. This show is (now) doing a really great job in portraying realistic three-dimensional adults, a great feat considering that it began with a cast that seemed like they were going need therapy after episode one.
Shitsuren Chocolatier Episode 2
This week, Souta learns that the good guy doesn't necessarily get the girl. This comes to him in a dream, and he clearly decides that it was a good dream indeed. I don't know about you, but I don't tend to trust my dreams so much. On the other hand, Souta's too ridiculous to begin with, so it's not that unlikely that he would act so funny.Shitsuren Chocolatier Episode 1
The long awaited (by me) Shitsuren Chocolatier is finally here! If I had to summarize my reaction in one word, it would be: Wow. It seems to be the type of show that raises some reaction among its viewers, be it love or hate. And this story really has a lot of elements to gather people in both camps.
