Spoiler for Comparison to the source material:

God, did they drop the ball on the conversion of this ep... especially with Mana. They removed a critical scene about her which makes her reaction to Masuzu's scolding completely incomprehensible - because: Why would someone as hard-assed as Mana who managed to completely intimidate Masuzu before give in here?

Spoiler for What was omitted, medium spoiler:

In the original, Mana is shown talking to someone on the phone (obviously their father). She tells him that Masuzu still has her courage and that things are fine for the time being - and that she would take her back when this changes. Her goon then remarks "So you had to play the bad guy...", to which Mana tsunderes back "I'm only doing what I want".

In other words, Mana was worried about Masuzu and provoking her to check if she still has fire in her spine and coping with her willful "living on her own" approach. She isn't half as bad as the anime is making her - but omitting this scene turns her into an oblivious bully. Gawd.

I'm also annoyed that they skipped Hime's bombshell entrance in the club. In the original, after she is admitted, Masuzu asks Hime what she plans to do now in order to get popular. Her answer: "That's obvious! I'm going to take Eita away from Natsukawa Masuzu! Succeeding in that will make me incredibly popular!" - Chiwa: "Awesome, me too!!". Masuzu: .... O_O;

Seriously, who was the scriptwriter for this ep? My my my...
