It wouldn't be the Ikeda lab without their lab coats! Nothing makes a scientist feel quite like a scientist than a lab coat. And I love how Himuro's boobs bounce when she shows it off
.
I honestly thought the professor's wife made him stop shredding lab coats, but Ibarada has him just as whipped
.
The new Opening is another really fun, upbeat, Sora Amamiya number, with fun visuals of the cast together, Himuro and Kanade as fashion models, Kosuke and Ibarada being together, the new characters, and Kanade running towards something (her own chance at true love?)
.
Himuro and Yukimura are still reeling from their Okinawa trip and their kiss, and of course they're ready to start getting into the nitty gritty of analyzing what it means...which, for this show, means examining saliva
.
Sui definitely makes a strong impression what with her dressing like a courtesan that barely wears any clothes and is basically flaunting herself seductively while waxing on about the wonders of human saliva, and she is more than happy to show her own off. Chris is a lucky man
.
Speaking of Chris, he seems American (or British), is voiced by Yuuki Kaji, and seems like quite the charmer...but the only lady he has eyes on is Sui, and he is both terrified of the effect she has on other men and more than happy to wax on about how much he loves her
.
What better way to contrast our main couple than an actual couple who have been together for four years and have no reservations about flaunting their relationship in front of each other? Like, Sui makes out with Chris right in front of them! I was half expecting them to do it in public too. And they have higher levels of oxycontin than Yukimura and Himuro do, and they're still the stage of even debating whether they're in love with each other. Real Bacouples are legit
.
Of course Himuro's not about to let someone disrespect her feelings for Yukimura or the work they've put in, so it's time for them to commit to some science and collecting saliva
.
Rikekuma is back to teach us about scientific methods
.
Kanade's a simple girl, but we love that about her
.
I love how Chris waxes poetic about how much he loves Sui while she turns him into a blushing mess by just plainly saying how she loves everything about him. Meanwhile Yukimura and Himuro are just as stoically scientific about their feelings as ever
.
A couple behind a locked room! Although pretty on-brand for this show to set it up like Sui and Chris are going to do it only for Sui to just give him a lap pillow and rub his head (lucky devil). But it does give Himuro and Yukimura the perfect excuse to kiss again
.
Although for a normal couple, just a simple lap pillow can do more than just a kiss, so it seems like Himuro and Yukimura will have to really step up their game to match a real couple
.
