^^^ Was better - but I wasn't really paying attention - the plot is thickening (FINALLY!!)!!! . Saw the trailer for Lap 8, looks exciting. Can't wait for the Chinese subs for Lap 7. Then I can fully understand what was going on.

Thanks wan wan! I'll be able to watch Lap 7 this weekend. Like you I watch it raw and can only understand about 40% of the dialogue. Thank God the subbers are fast.

Yup. Not exactly my type of show, but there aren't many good ones to choose from.

Could someone please give a quick synopsis of Lap 8? Thanks!

You sure? DOn't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched.

Yes, please! You can just mark at the beginning that it is a spoiler for Lap 8. I would appreciate it so much!

You asked for it!!!

Brief summary:

****SPOILER**************SPOILER***************SPOILER******

The children's home was forced to close down due to negative image caused by Toru and Daisuke's violent behaviours, the revelation of Eiko-san's past and the increase in rent from the landlord.

The kids were found new homes (at other children's homes), but have to be separated:

1) Home 1: Shuhei, Morio, Akira, Daisuke
2) Home 2: Toru and Aoi
3) Home 3: Yukie, Nao and Harumi
4) Home 4: Misae and Shunta
(Home 5: Nanae)

Jiro was assigned to send the kids to their respective new homes. Prepare yourself for a teary farewell at home 4.

Lap 8 should be available for download very soon.

thanks so much wan wan[/color] !!! i hope there's more...

Drats! If I cried buckets with Lap 7 then I should prepare a whole box of tissues for Lap 8. And to think I watch this raw.

Thanks for the warning folks!

I just watched the esp 8... it was really very sad... especially the last part when shunta chasing after the jiro... very touching!!! Takuya the best!!!!

I didn't really cry a lot but when.... *SPOILERS AHEAD*

... Shunta ran and ran to chase Jiro, I simply cried like hell and I know Jiro couldn't take it any longer and tears were already forming in his eyes. He even pulled his cap lower to hide the tears!!

and the hug for Misae and Shunta~~~~~

3Peace~

Thanks for the quick synopsis, wanwan. ^_^
