Ichiko's fortune energy has often bailed her out of danger, but apparently it does not work 100% of the time. For instance, there were a few instances in which Binbougami is able to hit Ichiko with the fortune-sucking needle apparatus, though it may be argued that the show allows that to happen because her extracted fortune energy is crucial to saving someone (Tsuwabuki and Ranmaru). More tellingly, Binbougami manages to perform a german suplex on Ichiko in episode 8. |

I said in my earlier post that what they did was VERY extreme and uncalled for. But at the same time, Ichiko has said some VERY foul things to her peers, so its very understandable why she garners so much hostility and anger from others. Again, that's not in anyway an excuse for what they did, but at the same time, you can somewhat see where they are coming from. Its ironically funny too, cause I literally JUST read your article about dudes being treated like crap in anime yesterday. Except here its actually BEEN same gender instead of women vs men. So in situations where I know whats happening to this person is wrong, its honestly harder for me to garner a lot of sympathy for someone who's been acting like a bitch. Still, two wrongs don't make a right.

And there's the problem, really. Yes this is something of a trope, but how can you possibly write it into a comedy like this without either trivializing something horrendous or dragging the show way, way too deep into the darkness?

Yea, the "bully girls try to get another girl raped" is such an annoying situation that pops up in anime.
I put it on the same level as when some random guy hits on an anime girl and she refuses, and for some reason the guy for some reason gets aggressive and tries to kidnap her or force her to go with him. (in which case, the male lead usually steps in to save the girl) How often does this actually happen, come on.... But yea, a situation that's from a typical h-doujin was really surprising. If it wasn't for Ranmaru's strong presence this episode, I would be more annoyed about the whole thing. I glad there's actually a cause for Ichiko's bitchy behavior. I mean, I still her personality, but at least she's not natural a snob.

Ranmaru is portrayed as a forthright and chivalrous character. In a fight, she's all about fair fights and frontal attacks. Not only do I think Ranmaru's character would prevent her from falsely befriending Ichiko for the sake of betraying her at an opportune moment (like Kurumi did), I doubt Ranmaru even have sufficient cunning to deceive and manipulate her way out of a wet paper bag. [Edit] If ever the anime ever expands on Ranmaru's and Ichiko's liking and resultant competition for Tsuwabuki, not that I think it is likely given the premise of the show, I believe it is more likely that Ichiko would be the likely party to betray the other person. Ranmaru just doesn't have the wits or cunning for the game. |

One piece... I forgot who are they...(I know they are Mr and Miss something) As for Kurumi...... Someone lend me Regnant(From 00)'s "Hand"? I gonna kill her with that. *IS SHOT* Well? A snake can beat a big animal in a gulp... Why can't a human?(Though, thats just her fortune animals which brings Ichiko on her way to find Ranmaru..., I also made that reaction when I saw her coming out from that snake.)

You will know once you have experienced it. Wanted to list out some... But this is not appreciated to be said anywhere. Lets just say Kurumi and Ichiko met again in another anime before.... Yeah thats about it.

Good episode. I've been waiting to find out why Ichiko always act this way towards female. The incident with Kurumi provided a very good explanation. Ichiko was so innocent and trusting back then... I hope her friendship with Ranmaru will make her thaw a little.
