I'm starting to wonder if Hio can legitimately be troped under Ill Girl.

Episode 9. Which is sick.

If you have a cold, the first thing you notice is in your throat. Getting sniffly is later.

She's a bit tsundere.

That's a fragile door. Lucky her head isn't as fragile.

Why would you leave before figuring out where to go? You'd be just as likely to walk in the wrong direction.

Breathing like that, she's not asleep.

Don't think those are the right notes to take.

What's so crazy about that? Well, it's not like she gets clothes.

Always the guy's fault.

Single people are always so unreasonably jealous and sensitive.

That's a rad bike.

Nice illustration.

Episode 10. In which there's chocolate.

Making chocolate isn't rocket science. But apparently still too hard for some anime characters. And as usual, has nothing to do with girl power. And also, that girl power joke is over and done.

"Here's something I prepared in advanced," she says to the camera.

The Case of the Mysteriously Vanishing Strawberries.

That's the most genki I've seen Sensei. Might be because going shopping is easier than melting chocolate.

How can she ask if she's doing it right if her entire face and a large part of the room is covered with the eggs? Then again, how can we tell she's asking with a straight face anyway?

Apparently not easier.

The Case of the Mysteriously Vanishing Chocolate Cakes.

Now that's just embarrassing. Well, for Sensei, at least. And if he's already figured it out, just admit it and be done with it. It's not like it's going to get any worse.

Someone's feeling left out. For good reason. I mean, good reason she got left out.

Okay, that's just mean.

That's actually a great time to play deaf.

That's one of the least convincing, "I'm not sleepy," I've heard. And it takes her that long to realise what's happened?

They slept well.

Old couple, they are.

Episode 10:

  • Death by chocolate.
  • This chocolate-making tutorial didn't pan out so well... Oh, and it was done on the streets.tongue
  • Kameko didn't want to overstep her romantic bounds. But there's no harm in showing your unrequited feelings. And hey, nice turtle you got, you camera turtle girl you.
  • Stubborn night-owls. Well, one's more stubborn than the other.
  • Well, they grew old together. That counts for something, right?tongue
  • Hidden agenda beneath her smile. But now, Tsumorin can finally...sad

The girl power level stuff rubs me the wrong way. It's a little sexist to say that someone isn't enough of a girl because they live a certain way or don't have certain traits.

I'm thinking of it a bit. Does Sensei actually has an I Am Not Pretty complex instead just angsting over her lack of "girl power"?

Episode 11:

  • Whoa, Sommelier and G-Man being childhood friends did not cross my mind at all.surprised ...To think that bonding over porno mags could be so heartwarming...
  • Good thing the girl power gag is being used in different ways. Otherwise, my eyes would roll so hard, they would fall out. Anyway, Sensei Willpower!!!
  • Fuga used Headbutt! It's super effective! But that wasn't the intended result!tongue
  • Fuga, what have you done!? You just reminded Sommelier of the Lime Cat he will never have!tongue

Episode 11. In which there's a flashback.

Ah, he was born with that skill.

I wonder if he's ever going to say anything. I hope not.

Okay, I just realised who she is. Recognise the voice. She has a rather particular voice at that range.

Oh, look, glasses. Never knew that.

Gah, more "girl power". It's rather girl-depowering. Well, at least they're not being as stupid as usual about it.

I'm not sure walking bushes is much camouflage in an urban environment. Then again, it's not like those are smart people who can see beyond their own narrow preconceptions.

Really should be easy to hear where the voice is coming from, and he should recognise who it is and thus in which direction to look.

You shouldn't put ice directly on someone like that. It can be harmful.

He has eyes!

And no, no one's surprisingly cute when asleep. Sleeping is a +5 cutifier.

She should feel bad about that.

Sometimes, this is so horribly sexist it's not even funny.

I agree. Also, this ep made me wonder what Sommelier thinks about his relationship with Fugal, at best he treats him a like daughter; and at worst, a case of Loving a Shadow—I found Fugal looks like the younger Ero-hon G-man, but with a different hair colour.

Episode 12:

  • Thanks for the service announcement, Umanohane. But it looks like the drunk got Sensei.tongue
  • Umio, too, lives messily.
  • Lap-napping is a courage-taking, yet rewarding experience.
  • So Umio's a butt guy. Kay.tongue
  • If Tsumorin's considered an outsider, then G-men, who's present, is one too.tongue
  • Tsumorin puts the "wild" in wild-child.
  • Nice little talk between Kameko and Umio.
  • Oh, Manager got some lines. ...And my impressions of him have been shattered. My fault for expecting him to be saner than everyone else.tongue

And we're done. Let's close up shop for now.

Kinda disappointed the ending went for feels rather than laughs, but it was okay I guess.

Trying to peg which character Sensei and G-men-san were cosplaying as.

Episode 12. In which there's drinking.

Rather impressive to hold it in after that hit.

Normally, I'd say taking her by the shoulder would be more helpful to stop her from falling over, but taking her hand sobers her up for an entirely different reason, so it's all good.

Or maybe not.

He must not love his figurines. You know how easily they get damaged in a mess like that?

Why have a counter if it's just spinning too fast to see anyway?

It's not exactly the same as the standard Windows background, but...

Is that really nicer than usual? Seems like usual to me.

Okay, that's nicer than usual.

On one hand, she's taking advantage of him. On the other, I think both of them would want something like that if they dared. Or were drunk enough.

She's good at hitting all the hiding spot. She's clearly not actually looking for anything, or she's swing blindly.

Why would she take that? He's not allowed to have private things? Stupid anime logic.

He invited her? Interesting. Also, she's cute. Even if she's wasted.

I think she can detect a party from overseas. Also, elegant slide.

When at first he tells them reasonable reasons why she should not be invited, they don't believe him. When she shows them why she should not be invited, they believe him.

"Everyone's wasted. Let's drink some more!" I think that line stands on its own.

Already ED? I get the feeling I should recognise far more of the covers than I do.

That morning routine started odd and became worse.

Overall, an occasionally funny series with occasional good non-funny moments. Felt like it tried too hard to be funny and fell short, like it couldn't handle the jokes that were in it. Or that they were too cliché to begin with. Not sure. Despite that, not bad to watch.

Kinda disappointed the ending went for feels rather than laughs, but it was okay I guess.
What feels? If anything, it lacked feels. And most of the laughs.
