Koohii Story 1 A pretty tough kanji. Think of elegant old housewives with English accents dining together at a HOUSE party. The hostess brings out a dish of hors d´oeuvres: a SPIKE of metal with an EYEBALL and a HEART skewered on it. Upon being offered this treat, one of the housewives says in her English accent, "I´d RATHER not.".
Koohii Story 2 Rather a house with a heart than an eye with a spike.
