All right, finished with my second run through Hyouka. The last several episodes are really good. I like the last episode a lot. You get to see "serious business" Eru as a family representative, which is a side of her you don't really get to see anywhere else. I also liked the fact that she and Hotaro came up with the exact same suspect at the end without even talking to each other about it first.

I feel like they could've done more with Eru than they did. She showed flashes of being deeper than just being the catalyst who gets Hotaro going, but that's how they used her most of the time. Although I think part of it was Hotaro deliberately kept her out of the loop a lot of the time, especially if he had to do something he felt was underhanded. When he blackmails Jumoji at the end of the cultural festival arc, he openly says he can't ever let Eru know what he did to sell the rest of the copies of Hyouka. I guess there's a part of him that wants to protect her innocence because he sees it as something worth protecting, which is why he nearly rips Satoshi a new one for making her cry in the Valentine's Day episode. Seeing how earnest and how heartbroken Eru was about Mayaka's chocolate was too much for him to take.

Anyway, I've started reading the fan translation of the books. I probably won't do any updates of that since I doubt anyone cares. Perhaps the most irritating part of reading this thing is that they're very inconsistent with their tenses.

There's also an illustration of the characters, and it's kind of startling how different Hotaro in particular looks compared to the anime version.

Well, I can mostly see the resemblance in all the other ones. Eru's face is similar even if the hair is a decent bit shorter than in the show, but man, Hotaro looks so different.

Anyway, I guess I should rank the main four and then add to the overall rankings:

Hotaro > Eru > Satoshi > Mayaka

All four are really good though.

Nagato > Yakumo > Kurisu > Chizuru > Yukiko > Aqua > Makoto > Mitsuru > Yui > Yachiyo > Shiori > Eru > Wagatsuma > Ritsu > Akane > Pepper > Amy > Namine > Yurippe > Mikasa > Eureka > Art3mis > Valentine > Zelda > Vera > Elizabeth > Cora > Kotori
