I'm just gonna have to read the Hanebado manga.  We have a main character who is a complete jerk when in competitive mode and appears to be on the edge of a breakdown, a mother who abandoned her daughter to "push her to the next level", and a rival who is actually a good person that just wants to be accepted.  There is no way this is all going to be resolved in one episode.  

I just really like the way everything has been set up.  It's like the main character is the antagonist, not the protagonist.  At the same time, though, it's not hard to understand where she's coming from and hope that she can keep from falling to pieces.
