I had disliked Hanako-kun before this story arc, but now I just hate him. How tf can Nene like this jerk.

I did love the scenes with Kou and Mitsuba though, as much as I hate that

Spoiler

it's not the real Mitsuba

. But if it did do something and Kou & Mirror-Mitsuba will be friends now, even after going back to the real world, I guess it was worth it.

And also, the "magic paintbrush" trying to help them was pretty cool. I'm guessing it's Sakura and Natsuhiko waving the brush, but not sure.
