a problem with the ending .

I don't think the two things are related, to be honest. Haru is seeing beyond the obvious facade on the Baron and has developed a crush because of his dashing, romantic heroics.

She's no longer desperate to get the attention of the boy from school because she has realised she doesn't NEED a boyfriend to justify her existance. Haru has learned to be self reliant and to have faith in herself - and not to panic over whether she is considered "cool" or not. It's a pretty good message for young girls, although I WAS wondering when exactly she got a haircut between getting dropped on the school roof and making breakfast next morning...an outward sign of her new maturity maybe?

She was a cat way too long. Maybe she was still thinking like one.

Best thing ever.

I believe it has something to do with the fact that she developed a crush on the barnon as a cat because of his daring nature - not beastiality but more like an innner cat spirit within her (thus talking to cats). Recall the look she gave him as the baron carried her up the tower stairs, and how the baron was being a 'show off' by doing so. There seems to be a mutual feeling of a crush/admiration between the two and a more visual resistance on the part of the baron to keep it strickly professional on a part of his bureau. It seems to me more of a rescuer - rescued relationship. The crush, it appears, is paralleling the crush she had on the popular boy in school who was dating the freshmen. In addition, she is shown as more assertive in telling the baron right to his face. This is as a result of her experience - aka she remembers it (as opposed to the Japanese verison of Spirited Away where the girl does not remember her experience). I dont know if thats right. Thats just what I got out of it, that it made her trust in herself and her own feelings and those feelings are thus reflected to show the transition.

If it is a translation issue, it is probably not a mistake, it is probably an issue of translator's preferance as multiple words may be used. It would be interesting to know more about this.

I don't see it as bestiality, because the Baron had the same brain as a human, and other then his cat face, his body seemed to be human. (he had hands, not paws) Oh, but who knows.
