More Mayu Silliness

I went back and dug out Steven’s scoring system for corny comedies, and applied it to GSNK:

(2) – 2 or more people seriously contending for the affections of one (1 point for each serious contender)
(1) – …who trickle in (1)
(1) – …who aren’t human (1 for each)
(1)* – …who have special powers (1 for each)
(1) – Dorky hero (1) (Yes, he’s a dork, if he’s not all over Mayu, fatal or not!)
(0) – …who has a unique power (1) (Pending.)
(1) – Klutzy heroine (1)
(1) – …who has a unique power (1) (She’s a succubus.)
(0) – Love expressed as violence (1) (Pending. Probably yes for Reika.)
(1) – Obvious choice (1) (Yes, both of them! Really, Mayu, but I suspect both.)
(1) – Women with exaggerated figures (1)
(1) – Jiggle (1)
(0) – Panty flashes (1) (Surprisingly, not a one.)
(1) – Ecchi (1)
(1) – Joshikousei (1) (Of course.)
(1) – Meido-san (1)
(1) – Accidental exposure (1) (And some on purpose too–by the schoolgirls.)
(1) – Accidental groping (1) (Ditto the above.)
(0) – Swimsuits at the beach (1) (Pool. Good enough.)
(0) – Bathing and yukatas in a bathhouse (1) (Not yet.)
(0) – Kimonos at a summer festival or cultural festival (1) (Not yet.)
(0) – Girl’s locker room (1) (Not yet.)
(1) – Cosplay (1) (Yowza.)
(0) – Romances among secondary characters (1) (Not yet.)
(1) – Meganekko (1) (Based on the OP, yes.)
(1) – Annoying relatives (1) (Big sis, big time.)
(1) – Meddlers (friends or family) (1) (Two of them.)
(0) – No romantic resolution at the end (1) (Pending, but I bet not.)

*Should “Filthy Rich” be treated as a special power? I’m inclined to think so. One additional point if you agree.

Score: 20. And that’s in just the first two episodes….

I just had an odd thought. I’ve mentioned that we see Shungo and Mayu kiss in the OP. What if that’s actually child Reika? The flashbacks are definitely Mayu, but is the locket in one scene a hint?

Could the writers be doing a bit of misdirection? Or am I making a serious mistake, trying to apply brainpower to this show?
