It's possible that my opinion will change though - she hasn't really had a lot of development as a character, wheras Touko has been around since towards the beginning of the second season. My opinion will probably change over time. Especially if she stops being so obsessive. @hashihime:

She'd need a major attitude adjustment first, at least. Does anyone know if they've resolved that little conflict in the novels yet? Or is it still ongoing? I'm wondering if we might see it in the new season they've announced. Don’t crush my dreams. :(

And, yes, Touko is definitely someone who cares for Yumi, but I think Kanako makes the better soeur... Or maybe, the more likely candidate.

Probably another OVA series, but perhaps a season. We'll see. Thanks for the review. You make some good points about the comparison of an OVA series with a normal TV season. As it turns out, the five-episode OVA is almost the same number of minutes of actual show as an 11-episode series would be, and the plot-structure details you discuss mean it's more like a real 12-ep season. I can't share your enthusiasm for Touko, but perhaps I'd better rewatch and try. I personally, for whatever reason (maybe Koshimizu Ami), can't help feeling sympathy with Kanako, despite her crazed obsessiveness. But I can't actually picture either of them as Yumi's soeur. The thing I liked best about the OVA series was the feeling that Yumi was becoming stronger and stronger, and that her relationship with Sachiko was so much more equal.
