Last Updated on by Daniel Limjoco

“Look, Harumi. Maybe this isn’t the right time now…or actually maybe it’s t, he perfect time. But can I kiss you? You probably don’t have any feelings for me I know that. It’s just…I think I’m in love with you.”

–          Masaki Aofuji, FLCL Shoegaze (Ep. 03)

“Listen. If you’re going to kiss someone, just go on and do it.”

–          Harumi Araishu

The number next to the listed trend represents the highest it trended on the list (not counting the promoted trend), judging only by the images placed in the rundown.
