Maou Episode 02-03

The plot is really thickening and Ohno Satoshi's performance is really impressive. After watching play lots of comedic roles, I wasn't sure if his dark and cold performance would be good, but it turned out to be really good. Also, though it seems as though he shows the same poker face over and over again -- or the one that's just distorted in hatred -- he is able to show this complicated, torn and soft expression in episode three. When watching episode three, it reminded me of volume 13 from Skip Beat when Tsuruga Ren is acting out the role of Katsuki and is able to show cold & brutal side to soft, loving and kind. Though at the moment, I really wonder about Naruse's intentions towards Shiori are. Seeing as she's connected to Hideo as well, I wonder what type of feelings he has towards her then and now. It looks like he may be in love with her as well, but might need to kill those feelings for her because he probably needs to get rid of her due to her powers. If they get too close and really start a relationship, she might get curious and use her powers to find out more about him and ultimately find out everything about him... which will not be good at all for either of them. So I can't wait to see further development on their relationship.

Also... the guy in glasses is really freaky. He looks like a pedophile =_=; The drama is hinting at him being one of the victims (or the primary one) that Serizawa and Co. picked on back during junior high, but now he just looks really stalker-ish and pedo-ish so... I wonder about his relationship with Naruse and how exactly did the whole thing with a teddy bear work out the way it did... Can't wait for the 4th episode!
