Oshiete, Galko-chan!

Not a mall. The mall.

\\ Yeah, but they don't have to buy any one thing in particular, so Charao's test still doesn't apply.

I wonder what lipstick did Galko get? It seems the more fashionable girls in the class are interested in it too.

A Japanese 75E is approximately an Anglo-American 30D. That isn't extremely large, but she didn't fit anyway. (It's not the first time I read in manga about Gag Boobs characters having problems buying a bra. Servant × Service's Lucy can't even buy a bra at any store, and complained the bras in catalogues are either too modest or too sexy. Let's say probably it's easier to get larger cup sizes in Greater Tokyo than in Sapporo...)

Big boobs, great in water related emergencies. And you know, pretty much always.

It actually closes in water? Amazing functionality.

Pretty dialog light episode this time.

Poor kid, losing wallet in the pool sounds bad. But then, the close encounter of bouncy kind.

Wow, that's pretty judgmental there kid. She's being nice to you, you know.

Being seen with parents in public, the greatest humiliation possible between ages 10 and 15.

Someone's puberty just got jump started.

Where did I see that kid before.... oh , never mind.

For spending a whole day without sunscreen, she got pretty light tan. Ojo on the other hand...

Otako is really popular with kids.

Someone's jealous. But at least now she has a goal to strive for.

Hilarious as always.

No, be watched with your parents is a shame even when you had 16-18.

Episode #8 in which boobs and problems of having long(er) nails are discussed. And Galko-chan is fixing everyone's nails/hair.

That nihilistic teen was really fun to watch, such a asshole.

And Okako...finally someone realize who that girl is really attractive?. Too late.

Crunchyroll translates that nihilistic teen "Bomuo," but per the naming conventions of this series I'd rather go by Bomb-o. Also not the character bios at the OP this episode goes Galko, Nikuko and Okako.

Such a fun and funny episode. Hands up everybody who didn't try that earlobes trick.

Boob talk, those three are at it again. I like how Galko is just used to boo talk.

"Sonic meat", that's kinda cruel.

Okako slouches so much that I didn't even notice that she's supposed to be busty.

Galko-tron releases her full power!

Galko is home clothes is amazing.

Bombo might be right that fussing over hair is silly, but I have to say that the hairstyle Galko gave him is a huge improvement. He got a handsome face so no point in hiding it.

Galko sure has a way of winning people over.

This was a really fun episode, and of course, Okako is the best girl. Confirmated

Galko is really good at making everyone look pretty.

Oh yeah. I think I spotted a spot of CR mistranslation this episode. When Galko-oneechan mentioned girls with French nails may use "... or finger vibrators"—but in manga, what she means seems to be, in Yuyushiki terms, "play with their beans."

Galko sure is easily influenced by the television. Good thing she didn't watch what Otako suggested she watched.

Smug Ojou is smug. But the usual Ojou is best.

Angry Galko is straight up adorable. Nobody would mind if she took it out on them.

Boobs growing smaller from losing weight sounds unjust. Thank Nikuko for dispelling the notion.

Galko was already well developed in middle school. And we get to see her sister whole face. Kinda

Ear piercing sounds complicated.

Galko's holes bring wisdom and happiness.

Correction - Galko is eaisly influenced period.

I'm surprised that Galko still have a show that she fears. I thought she's already used to whatever they air at midnight and downright influenced by it.

Can I safely list Ojou under Encyclopaedic Knowledge, then?

From what I know now people pierce ears with something similar to a paper punch, though...

Charao take this episode now, this is -for now- my favorite episode.

Nice to see things from another perspective. Good ol' Charao has some amazing insights. And really, if he got a bit more serious and less flighty he might actually get what he really wants. He's his own worst enemy.

Like Galko, Charao is (un)surprisingly not-Charai, despite all the genuine Girl Watching he does with Otao and Sport-o, and his Casanova tendencies, it seems Galko is his only one. Given in this series older siblings tend to affect their younger siblings a lot, does the fact that Charao's sister is a doujin-ka has anything to do with his behaviour?

That kohai he dates is voiced by Yuiko Tatsumi. Hm, this time she's voicing a younger girl far more extraverted than Aya from KZ last season...

Galko's always so curious. That make her Super Gullible.

We're probably seeing a co-ed version of Daily Lives of High School Boys here, although probably Suzuki is more perverted, but less bullied by the girls, than Bomber Grape.

Damnit this show really should be a full length anime.

I understand why the boys like seeing Galko run, but for chris sakes get that girl a decent sports bra.

and yes, this would've been great as a full length (or even half length like Nijiro Days) anime. One of the more honest portrayals of teenage conversations/daily lives in anime.

I think Galko's a bit embarrassed about having a boy's body frame (wide shoulders and large hands).

As for Kohai... Can I say she's Super Gullible? But then I am not even sure whether Charao likes her.

Yeah, I afraid her boobs would be shoke off from the running. But probably, like any other bra, there isn't one of her size.

Teenage love isn't very rational, even by love's irrational standards.

One day. In a better world....

Toilet paper is culture!

The thing that surprised me the most this episode is that Ojo actually live in an apartment and not a giant mansion.

I didn't think she owned that whole building.

1. It seems like there was an implied nosebleed from Otao after this.
2. Galko's response to Ao Fuyu... I recall Lucky Star's Kagami when she saw that doujin titled Spellbound, currently the picture at doujinshi.
3. From when does Otako think Ojou is a Feminine Product collector? Nothing to do with the incident in her mind.
