Been following this one since it's release since it was Kenji Inoue's new project.
Actually has been consistently good/funny. Chisa's super cute~
This manga is really funny and imo its comedy is much funnier than when the author writes baketest. Been waiting for english translator to pickup this so that I can introduce it to more ppl
btw the name there somehow became Seshiji o Pin lol

Agreed! I have never been a fan of Baka to Test nor have I ever find it funny, but this series makes me laugh uncontrollably in almost every chapter. =)
Fixed the title.
Bakatest was funny as well, but maybe it works better in its LN medium. So perhaps the author adjusted himself now that he is writing for manga so it feels much better here
I haven't laughed this hard in awhile reading a manga.
It certainly is manga packed with hilarious moments.
The newest chapter (chapter 26) will be on tomorrow's edition of good afternoon magazine.
Oh seriously?
Damn, can't find it anywhere:upset:
You also buy the tankobon as well?
This manga initially could be call Grand Booze lol
Can't contain my laughter reading the "gaiden chapter" in vol 6. Good bye iori, the imouto is coming for you in the next vol.
Need more chapters translated!!!

This is true. I mean there are more booze than diving in this manga:p

Lol.
Never thought we would see his sister in such way. ....Damn, how did she setup that camera when she lives faraway (and Iori belives she's bad with tech)...
Need more chapters translated!!!
Just checked the 'english' sites.
Holy f***.
There's only 3 chapters in English:twitch:? Damn, you guys are missing heaps. And I mean it.
I imagined this would had many readers already since its written by Inoue Kenji (The baka-test author). Its already been 2 years since this started...:heh:
That is his sister !? lol
look like a yandere type too..... rip Iori

Serious, this guy is really a genius on comedy, this manga is really fun, that MC is really one of the most dumbass even i see.
If i was him i really could try to pick really the old sister for my sake, at last i know the best i can get is a rejection while going to the young i could get killed in seconds by the old, if not become a M slave of the little one which is a Sadist..., i really like the reaction of the "cake girl" about the "club members" even the girls ending being "weirds" by expending too much time with that weird troop, lol, the comedy here is really gold and what the mc told to the girl in the end OMG, you really know what to "not say" in the exactly wrong moment".:heh::heh::heh::heh:
i really hope this manga get popular fast enough for us to get a anime from it, this manga turning in a anime could be really awesome and we could see one of the best comedy animes so far.
kitahara imouto sure is 60-70% scary of the time orz
She is no doubt one of the scariest here in grand blue...

Chapter 28:
http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r575/poisui/anime_manga/Untitled-1_zpsdcloom3z.jpg
This chapter revolves entirely around Kitahara Iori's sister, Kitahara Shiori.
Apparently, Kitahara Shiori has no feelings for her brother. Her real motive is that she does not want to inherit their family inn. For that reason, she wants to drag her brother home so that the inheritance will go to him. She intends to bring him back even if she has to "act" like a bro-con (someone who has a brother complex) in front of everyone.
It turns out that Iori already knew that his sister does not want the inheritance.
A little flashback between the Kitahara siblings.

http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r575/poisui/anime_manga/Untitled-2_zps2skljvzg.jpg
Kitahara Shiori reluctantly returns home.
The perceptive Hamaoka Azusa points out that she is a bro-con. Kotobuki Ryuujirou agrees. (Maybe Kitahara Shiori is pretending to not be a bro-con? Or maybe she hasn't realized that she is a bro-con?)
http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r575/poisui/anime_manga/Untitled-3_zps4oew2kjt.jpg
The manager agrees that it wouldn't be good if the siblings became too intimate even if they have "no blood relation."
Everyone goes, "Eh?"
LOL. The irony :heh:
It sure has been a hilarious Imouto chapters lol.
I so want to see the virgin-5 in actions again hahaha. Miss those guys already.

In the original chapter 28 published in the good! Afternoon magazine. The chapter ended with these two pages.
For some reason, the author changed things up in the tankoubon and ended up chapter 28 two pages earlier and moved these two pages to the next volume.
In the original chapter 28, the comment was definitely referencing the siblings.
Think about it logically, why would they be talking about Iori and Chisa's blood relation? That makes no fucking sense.
Because the previous part before he talking about "not-blood relationship", people talking about Chisa and Iori is living in same house isn't it?

but that would be stupid cause she is not main character to make her not blood related and possible love interest and they look the same hair and eyes

It goes without saying that Iori and Chisa have no blood relation. #1) If the manager was talking about Iori and Chisa, why would he make such a redundant statement? #2) If they are really talking about Iori and Chisa, why is everyone surprised at the statement that Iori and Chisa have no blood relation? For fuck's sake, use some common sense.
If you don't believe me, email the scanlation team and confirm with them.

they not being "blood related" making even less sense since they look and act very like being selfishs, like peoples talked they have the same "eyes" hair and even face semblences is more like the sister is his "gender bender" look like.
this really don't make any sense they don't being blood related, they must be at last "half-blood like only father or mother related.
or could be very dumbass the author making then look so very like to later say which they are not "blood-related".

that line could have another means later like he "giving a better explannation about it or maybe he jus don't know like they parents could have messed around or a missundertood of the uncle to be explanned later.
basically this could be the author "play/fooling around" to later say which they are sibilins.
he already did it before, dropping a bomb thern later not being truth, lik the teaser about then get lost in a island in the exam arc.

We were told in chapter 1 that Iori and Chisa were cousins and the manager was his uncle. Doesn't this imply that they have a blood relation?
^-__-
Iori is pretending as Chisa's boyfriend, right?
Why are they so shocked by that now?
Dunno whether uncle is joking or not, but he's clearly referring to Iori and Shiori.

this just confirmed what i told before, which really didn't make any sense they not being true sibilins when they had physical and mind common traits, could had be a very stupid move, make 2 peoples which look so too likely not being blood related and for chisa this also means which his "older cousin" is not blood related since both sisters look very like each other the only real difference is the "boobs and hair sizes"(besides personality) but they look very like each other at physical traits, they being "adopted can make sense" but as @wuhugm told marriage between cousins is allowed but still have some stigma like sibilins in some provinces while not forbidden some peoples can still see it as wrong.

i think that must be one of the reasons (beside she being hot and old sister type) he have feelings for her, taking out cakey we have a love triangle in family, nanaka is siscon toward chisa which displayed some feelings toward iori which is interested in nanaka, which really creating a very closed love triangle with cakey trying to get inside and the bi girl also having some interesting(in both iori and nanaka) but due to her think which iori is "gay" toward his friend she not too much into it, but serious the "bromance" between iori and ikemen otaku is really strong and fun.
really the writer of this manga is really a genious to comedy i really wish a big anime team like bones could pick this serie to anime, that could easy take the tittle of best comedy anime of the time (or close to it the writer here know how to grab some really fun things here).
latest (33) is out, funny as usual, and in this one we actually has some story development to boot, don’t get me wrong, the last two previous chapters with the assistant professor is also funny, it just does not have enough Chisa in it, this one definitely has the cutest Chisa panel in the entire series so far, go check it out.
I totally did not expect this manga to be that nuts. Totally couldn't tell from the front cover...:heh: Man, the trollfaces are ugly...:heh:

It also irks me that overly ecchi and borderline hentai shows get 2nd season adaptations. But also, the fact that Iori and Kouhei are both college freshmen(so probably 18 yo) of the Izu ME department is the underage drinking concern on the author's part. Also
Drunk Chisa is cute.

I think you forgot ...
Nudity and blood, studio can always pull censoring, like mysterious beam of light or the coloring blood with magenta/green/blue/etc; or moving the content to BD.
For alcohol? You can't, especially when alcohol playing major role in joke.
And yes, the use of alcohol in Grand Blue is high even by Japanese standard.
Legitimating the broadcast may like you're approving senpai idea of large jar full of spirytus + disinfectant. LOL.

any one drink like them well have liver cirrhosis in few years
English translations are finally up to the raws. After reading all the manga that is out, I can easily say this is the most under the radar and underrated manga I have seen in terms of quality of its genre (comedy). The fact more people aren't aware of this manga (as far as us who are westerners or speak English) is a shame.
^Coz it's not highschooler
well, they drank Spiritus... so it is not called as normal :heh:
but drinking theme is really normal.. and I even felt that lots of more vulgar series have been animated before so why not this one?
and hype for new girl... love it

The fact the binge drinking appeals to college age readers is one major thing as well. You have manga that are usually taking place in high school. Here you have a manga that involves heavy drinking in college along with wacky shenanigans that are similar to things that people do in college that will becomes stories 20 years after they graduate.
This should appeal to a huge demographic. Also, I saw a guy drink a shot of Everclear in college (95% ABV). Drinking Spritus isn't far fetched, however a glass of it would definitely kill a man.
Lmao everyone here is not normal.
This manga is just hilarious. Why is the new girl so mean though. Well I expect all of them to be anyways lol.
I laughed hard when I saw that "Used" text.
:heh:
The new girl is mean because she treated badly by Iori after she's mock Kouhei being otaku while also stealing his tickets for Mizuki Kaya concert during Oumi Festival Arc.
Here is your monthly dose of spoiler.
The new girl's name is sakurako "busu"jima. (busu here means ugly)

Chapter is out and it is great. Iori seems to be developing some sort of camaraderie with Busujima :heh: Turns out the bitch is fawning over the trap who is the captain of a diving club. Obviously next station is Grand Blue but will he be able not to fall for the busty workers of the shop?
Having a girl like Busujima join the club will bring a new air. She can replace Kebako lol.
Figures that this author would introduce a Hideyoshi
Busujima best girl
Best girl?
She is shit girl, she really lack of etiquette and proper manner ( i know many characters in manga suffers from this but she the worst).
I hate how she clutches MC in his house as her like bitch-like it. I hope she will never be part of MC harem.
Figures that this author would introduce a Hideyoshi
the new chapter confirms it, he is a “Hideyoshi”.
*sniff*
I'm so happy! A new chapter is out and it has a Hideyoshi in it!
*wipes tears of joy*
Iori snags Hideyoshi into his harem.

Three things:
1. Otoya could be a girl.
2. Could be a double bait and switch and he actually likes Chiya (based from what the Helvetica guys said about the ambiguity of the original text)
3. Otoya is gay.
Can be a mix of 2 things above :heh:.

#2 is not likely considering the conversation was about if Iori had a lover with him proclaiming that Iori was the most amazing person to him.
#1 is possible, if you look at the picture before they dive in, Otoya is drawn with the hips and butt more consistent with a female (page 17-19 of the chapter depending on the scan you're looking at).
#3 just goes with him being the Hideyoshi trap which some of us may not like, but knowing the author it'll lead to hilarious results.
Azusa said Chisa and him(?) into same stuff, and lol at that "same stuff"
Otoya best girl
Definitely my OTP for this series -> Iori x Otoya.
:heh:
Otoya is a Hideyoshi gender right? I'm confuse =[ ]= !!?!?

Well, the diving club's killing his liver, so he'll eventually die (unless the binge drinking does it earlier).
He survived Nanaka a couple of times (make Chii-chan happy, or else)
Kouhei was called Nii-sama by the imouto to extend his life...
I don't actually remember Chisa doing anything too serious (chased him with a bat, kept his head underwater for practice)

Cakey isn't so bad. If she's sober.
The recent Good Afternoon magazine didn't have chapter 37. Though it did have a 20page bonus chapter which was hilarious as usual. Grand Blue will take a break next month though.

Truthfully, drinking Spiritus should be fatal to most humans.

pretty much what Calca said. Spiritus is capable of causing serious headache with 1 single cup, and there is a calculation that 1 cup of Spiritus is roughly 36 cups of normal alcohol. Drinking 1 entire bottle could literally kill someone.

I think the manga said that spiritus was 96% alcohol.
A beer is supposed to be around 4-6 % depending on brand.
That means 12 oz of spiritus is about 16-24 bottles of beer.
Yeah, the diving team SHOULD have killed him a long time ago. I thought that they warned about using rubbing alcohol, though, so they have SOME standards.

Spiritus is an actual alcohol, and it is banned in several country, most people who drink spiritus are either idiot or some guy who play dare or trying to prove themselves tough.
And it's hard to compare it with beer, since the concentration is different, it's 16-24 bottle of beers have a large quantity of water come along to dilute it, Spiritus isn't, so you are taking the alcohol in full punch

Rubbing alcohol is isopropanol. Drinking alcohol is ethanol. They are two different chemicals.
Spritus is near chemical grade ethanol. A substance sold in liquor stores in the United States that would be comparable would be Everclear. I believe the difference in alcohol content between the two is roughly 1%.

Btw what are the chances for the cockblocking and teacher chapters to get animated considering those are side stories and can be put in between. I think we will get the former along with the Doubles match.
Y'know... if they got the VAs from Jo-Jo that would be awesome!

I just finished reading it precisely because a fellow Midchildan of mine sung it praises when the PV came out, and now I can't remove the smile from my face. This thing is GREAT. And in particular it's great (for me) because it cleanses the palette of the constant and unceasing discharge of fucking high school manga's and anime. Also these fuckoos feel more like real people than all the highschoolers since they are the type of jackasses I knew or can believe to be in uni.
And yeah, the PV is SUPER misleading.
Although. there is a reasonable question of just how far do they intend to adapt for that anime? Also what is the finale they'll aim for.
Because if they try something mad like UQ did, they just might try to cram it all and a pointless romance resolution or something BS, when that is not really the point of this.
Also is there info on who is doing this, and what's their background so what should we expect from it quality wise...

end of Women Uni is too short, since the woman Uni event happened relatively early, 6 eps is probably enough of covering up to Women Uni end. Okinawa is a good place to end.

I think you have the festivals confounded.
The Boy/Saussagefest ends by Chapter 9 (this is where Iori cross dresses and "Cakey" is introduced)
Okinawa ends in Chapter 21
Women Uni arc apparently ends with Chapter 25.
The Sister arc technically ends by Chapter 28.
After that until 34 (which reintroduces THAT BITCH) rolls around it's mostly a series of one offs and short arcs.

Her impact on Iori is mostly that she is basically his older sister, AND she makes an IMPACT each time she supects he might have something more with Chisa than a fake relationship. It's a DEEP wall breaking impact.
Nanaka also is pretty reasonable and helpful (if hings doesn't include Chisa).

Carina is a realistic romantic target for iori, in my opinion. I mean, let’s look at the others:
Chisa: stated multiple times that she’s like a friend of his age. And a family (sister). So even though they get along well, highly doubt they’ll get into a relationship.
Nanaka: thought of her as attractive member of the opposite sex, but a family regardless. So unlikely, just as with chisa.
Azusa: thought of her as attractive too. They’ve had very little moments alone, though. Unlikely they’ll get into a relationship, but not impossible.
Sakurako: gets along well, perhaps she even fancy him (there’re several hints already).
Carina: nothing - neither confirmation nor denial. Well, to be fair, they’ve never really talked. Perhaps we’ll see more of her in the future.
Aina: stated once or twice that she’s a friend of his age, like chisa. But her constant cock-blocking, party-pooping, not-feminine-in-the-slightest attitude and appearance puts her rock-bottom (at least to me).
Actually, what’re the chances the author puts her on a break because she’s not well-liked (because of reasons above)? I’m personally glad she’s away and won’t be in the upcoming palau arc.
So really, to me, the one he’ll most likely to end up with is sakurako. The others are either friends or family. Thing is, this series isn’t exactly focused on romance, so highy possible we won’t delve into the characters’ relationship (we won’t know or see who ends up with who).
I can imagine the ending will be like them reuniting after graduation, drink some beer, share some laughs and dive into the ocean -Fin-.

^I have no clue what do you mean by party-pooping because she never once succeeded. I don't know what you mean by not-feminine-in-the-slightest attitude either unless your definition of being feminine is Azusa/Chisa. But then I read the final one. It must be her appearance and I am glad that you put your real reason for not liking her within those parentheses.
For me I feel like GB lost a lot of its charm ever since Aina left the scene. She is the Shinpachi of this manga. And she is the restraint this manga needs so the impacts are more when the restraints keep on failing.
But that is me and I like her the way she is. Of course, I don't have to cater to popular opinion. I never did. :p

Skyterror3381
2018-11-23, 09:50
^just because she didn’t actually succeed doesn’t mean she didn’t try. Notice how she always tried to keep things less... erotic? For example: in the strip-mahjong or whatever, she asked people to put something on, instead of taking off? Now, granted, most of me agrees with her (public decency, morale and all) that things shouldn’t go too far, but what’s the harm of taking off a top? They’re uni students; things like that can occur. If she tried that (party-pooping) in real-life, chances are she’ll get told off or at least avoided.
I read on some sites that some people actually like her. Well, I’m glad you enjoy her (and I respect that). My opinion is they can have more freedom (and fun) when she’s not around and policing around. Again, I agree that they shouldn’t go too far (go full-naked) but what’s the harm of, say, taking off a top in a game?

Must be the angle and the clothes ... that was far larger than Cakey has any right to be.

maybe they’re trying to make her into azusa 2.0, or at least her version of iori’s group. Thing is, Azusa’s gorgeous and fun...
How did Cakey grow boobs?

God dammit cakey.... I'd like to say i can't believe she went that far but it's just the right amount of cakeyness as some would say.
how did Aina keep those pads for so long? she didn't take it off for whole chapter
Mama Kotegawa is finally here
NeutralZero
2019-01-26, 13:53
Kinda curious what personality their mother had...
I have to give props to Cakey for the pads slipping and making her look like a mutant and she still insists on keeping them.

2019-03-08, 00:02
I found it turning off tbh. Using stuff like makeup to enhance your features is one thing, but things like using those pads seems... excessive to me. They don’t highlight any features, but created fake ones instead.
Anyway, it seems the artist got sick, thus no chapter this month. Maybe they can use leek treatment like iori did hey:D

Oh by who wouldve imagine he would be a secret wingman for iori
Cakey is lucky that he is there.
And so far from latest ch
The model seems to have fallen for iori.
Now we have
Cakey
Bully
Foreign stalker
And a model
Azusa is a bit questionable so is chisa...

Honestly only girls that are likely be in end game are Chisa and Cakey. And with Kouhei raising wing man flag, we know where that usually leads...
I don't really care for Iori because I cheered for Busujima
but I just want Kouhei to end up with Kaya-sama so bad :heh:
that's like dreams come true... but Kouhei might die from hyperventilation again

Not a fan of kohei being a wingman. If anything, he’s being a wingman for aina, not iori. It appears as him pushing them together without consent (iori’s anyway). Aina will probably be happy with it, but iori? Yeah, he gets along with her but does he want to be in a relationship with her?
Doubt there’ll be actual romance in this but if there is, it’ll probably be aina, judging from her scenes lately. /sigh
Funny, she used to be opposed with iori and chisa being close because it might ruin the group or whatever, and yet she’s actively pursuing him. Hypocrisy and selfishness at its finest.
Anyway, looking forward to more chapters with the boys. They’re more entertaining than the main group and hope they get their own series or spin-off!

Characters devolope and change, so I wouldn't call it hypocrisy. Either way manga quite obviously building Iori x Chise anyway so it's not like it matter a lot.

definitely.. together with Kouhei... and most likely Busujima :heh::heh: (she just keep appears everywhere)

And what if we're trolled and next chapter will about how they try and fail to sabotage this? And to be fair, progressing Iori and Chisa relationship would bring more funny moments later... Just think about Nanaka and Iori friends reactions that it can bring.

Dunno, Grand Blue lost me along the way. Iori gets a lot of flags from the girls, but despite a healthy amount of pages for a monthly serialization, it's mostly just shiptease, misunderstanding and cockblock. Whenever it ends, I fully expect an ending, where he technically dates someone, but the scumbros never let him enjoy the moment. It doesn't help that I don't like Chisa at all.
I prefer D-Frag's humor over this.

Indeed, I don't think he will go out with anyone, I really believe that Iori will remain a virgin until the end

New chapter's outAnd Busujima is finally back!!!!!!!But not cool Aina
Nope, she's being a bit bitchy, but well, not much for this series standards :D
I guess we are not going to get a lovely romantic trip for our main characters
if they really brought Busujima to interfere in Okinawa "honeymoon" trip, I'm sure that arc would be so fun :heh:
Aina-Kouhei might attract unnecessary misunderstanding though
:heh: so there is no way Kitahara could get any more girls in his harem because of his notorious reputation
I'll ditch those two friends though. I don't think there is any merit on befriending them because they just love to ruin stuffs
It is pointless to have girl-magnet (Kouhei) but also keep the girl-repellent (other friends)

Chapter 64 is out and it shows what Kohei and Cakey did beside tailing Iori and Chisa until they met next to love hotel. Kohei suffered a heartbreak and turned out that even he is better at doing makeup than Aina.
I hope the author wont ship Aina with Kohei i hate chisa
Tenzen12
2020-10-07, 11:23
Maybe you will be lucky and author will not ship Kohei and Aina. Though I really wonder if you hate Chisa why you wish Aina and Kohei remain single forever and jelous of Iori and Chisa who are inevitably getting together....
That just doesn't make sense!
I ship Aina and Iori i really hate it when the girl who do effort and chase after her love lose and on the other hand did ever chisa chase or make anything for Iori?
Tenzen12
2020-10-07, 12:18
Showed him beauty if diving and taught him him how to swim and I am fairly sure there were some other stuff too. Aina might be after Iori for while but she did practicaly nothing in comparison. No matter how you look at it Iori and Chisa are able communicate and have some tacit understanding, where Aina is just too awkward to get any any kind progress done.
Well, but non of that matter in this particular discussion because regardless whether it's fair or not, Aina had zero chance for quite long time. Now only question is whether she gonna get consolation prize. If Kohei and Aina doesn't get together only one affected by that will be again Kohei and Aina.

the mad Busujima.. hahaha
and that smirk.. like why?
Kouhei just need 1 day to get into acceptance state
Not bad
it is sad knowing that all this is wasted effort from aina and busujima
cause in the end the girl who didnt do any effort well win
Tenzen12
2021-07-07, 10:01
Well, it's true that Chisa and Ioris interactions are very natural and effortless, unlike Aina whose effort is completely unproductive and Busujima who is... Busujima. This is not case of privileged main heroine it is just case of heroine that works.
Sometime it's not about how much effort you put but where and how. Look on Gundam IBO where main casts effort led to...
WingedAccelerator
2021-07-07, 13:17
Chisa is privileged from the moment she announced Iori as her boyfriend in the name of a convenient countermeasure against guys that potentially want to hit on her. Then add the cheap revelation later that they are not blood related.
Again she is my least favorite, but everything could be fine and dandy if weren't for the snail pacing and annoying dragging of the romance aspect. Even Busujima can't be rejected properly to at least signify some kind of progress. And who knows when was Aina's date, where everyone in the restaurant knew she confessed except Iori of course. 30 chapters ago?
Then again, Baka to Test's romance also kinda happened, and also kinda didn't. Grand Blue could end with Iori's intention of confessing, but the scumbros and the rest never going to let it happen.
Sad chapter so Aina gave up

Kouhei x Aina pisses me off more than Iori x Chisa. I can buy friendship. I can buy "like". But not Kouhei harboring actual romantic feelings for Aina throughout the manga. The whole forced "friends ship" just reeks of a bowing out opportunity for Aina from the Ioribowl since she doesn't seem to get desirable results after all this time. Or she thinks she doesn't or won't. Not to mention Chisa marking Iori. That leaves only Kouhei as a rebound opportunity = Everbody is happy. I hate this mentality.

While that's certainly true, while getting angry now? It was obvious for while.
WingedAccelerator
2021-11-08, 04:28
No, it wasn't. The entire foundation of the ship came from how the author neglected building up any sort of dynamic with Kouhei and a female character. Iori can take Chisa, Aina, Busujima, Nanaka etc. Kouhei has no one, majority of his chapters are shared with Iori, and even if there is a female, chances say it's Azusa with aother gay misunderstanding joke. So just because recently there was some chapters with Kouhei and Aina who followed Iori and Chisa, nothing was hinting at that they are obviously going to be a romantic couple. People are just giving the author a pass for being funny once again, when it's piss poor writing just to pretend there is actual progress with shipping.

Funny you pull this now, but when it came to Kaguya-sama, you were the one who were displeased that I took some of my negative brainstormings as future development even though it was blatantly obvious there that the result will be disappointing given the unsufficient buildup. Now apparently I have to blame myself for containing enough goodwill and not scream how bullshit of a development Kouhei x Aina will be in years advance with zero backbone. Or there is a backbone if you pull enough mental gymnastics and build it from imagination yourself, heavily overthinking each and every dialogue and panel with them.
Tenzen12
2021-11-08, 06:46
Don't remember about Kaguya. Maybe I was wrong, maybe I was right. And honestly it doesn't even matter. Nonetheles in GB in moment where Kohei started go wingman for Aina, them being paired to tie loose ends was basically set in stone. That's what happen when opposite gender try help girl that can't win.
Power of friendship saves the day from nutcracker.
