But the thin Nago only appeared LAST episode. Thin Nago (aka. Yangin's rival, in top 10 rankings) and Fat Nago (aka. Tadakauni's future girlfriend) are AFAIK completely different people.

Check the kanji of the names. Pizza Nago is 奈古, Rival Nago is 名護.

[Akarin]

Yup, 奈古さんじゃなくて

They're similar characters, but different people.

Nago and Nago

For a series that prizes normalcy, this is not unexpected.

There are three. One the Nago that works in the Pizza shop. Another one exists only in front of a convex mirror. And NAGO is Yanagin's rival although she doesn't even recognize Yanagin's existence.

But yeah, Nago > all regardless.

I do love Habara though. Those delicious manga spoilers... oh god... how I wish I could share them Let's just say she's fucking awesome alright.

@Chaos2Frozen: I don't doubt Tadakuni's popularity - he's a pretty cool guy. All I was saying was that I believe a fair chunk of the votes he got were pity votes - which is certainly the case. I myself gave him one ^^

Besides, online polls man. Online polls. And this one lets same ip vote again. The best thing these polls do is create discussions and let people duke it out for their favorites.

[DragoonKain3]

Honestly? I'm just hoping the anime lasts long enough for those spoilers to be animated. XD

Yes, because this is totally the kind of series that people would invest that much effort into it If this was a moe series then maybe mass repeat voting would be a reasonable explanation, but this is a story of highschool boys doing un-moe and un-yaoi things, I'm pretty sure those kinds of people have other more important battles to win.


Pity votes are just that, pity. They would never accidentally amount to anything. But lets say you're right- if you think about it, even if they pity him, they would still have to like him enough to give their pity, so no matter how you cut it, it still shows alot of people like him.

err.. I don't think I said a single word different from what you are saying . I don't doubt that lots of people like him - enough to make him rank #2 - but in the same vein, I don't doubt that lots of those votes were pity votes and the voters actually have other favorites they'd prefer over him. Just because they like him enough to vote for him in a poll doesn't mean he's their #1.

From what I can tell, they aren't animating in the manga order anyway. Although they might follow the order for the Habara subplot.

[kuroishinigami]

The anime has the exact same order as the manga chapter so far. The only difference is only in the highschool girl is funky part, which is only some kind of omake in the tankoubon anyway.

[jeroz]

fk yeah, ArchDemon Arc

Ringo, show them what you have! ^^

Spoiler:

Peeking at girls/women underpants is overrated and not that interesting at all. But it is fun to see people trying to do it.
Other than that, boy meets boy ^^ . Was it necessary to hold his hand?

I may be ignorant about Japanese... What is Itokozoned?

Ringo? I think she's set to be dumb.

"Tiro Finale!"

[DragoonKain3]

I personally don't get that Itoko part, considering tons of anime/manga has had no problems pairing cousins together. :shrug:

Not that I mind... childhood friends FTW!


And poor Habara. I do find it ironic that her supposed to be the 'bad guy', the show frames her a pitiable figure.

Cousin-zoned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've decided to type my impressions after every skit so that the emotions are still fresh This episode definitely picks up after last week's less than stellar one



- HAHAHA! They don't even know her face?!?!

- WTF Hidenori?! Don't you let me catch you complaining about not having a girlfriend when you keep throwing away chances like these!!! Btw, since when does being cousin-zoned stopped anyone...?

- No matter how you look at it, Mitsuo got trolled badly again

- Somehow, I completely understand how the Student Council boys feel after tricking Ringo Indeed, peeking girl's pantsu is very overrated in Anime

- There's one thing I like about this show is that the girls don't always get away with their crap Good job men! btw, anyone can identify that female student president's VA? Or was it Motoharu's sister again?

- Wow that's a nice story Yanagin, but back then she was close (friends) to Karasawa? And poor Habara, they didn't even wait till she's not around to tell that story


EDIT:

It'd not be ironic at all if you see her as a reformed criminal instead.

Spoiler:

My reading of the manga seemed to imply Yanagin had a crush on Karasawa by the time.

2nd EDIT: What kind of scandals would require the Student Council to take part in Damage Control?

tiro finale!

Well even if in Japan you can legally marry your cousin, I guess it's almost the same in my culture where you are not encouraged to marry your cousin and avoid it as possible. And I think Emi suddenly feel awkward that she apparently crushing on an unknown cousin of hers.

Tadakuni didn't appear at all in this episode

That depends on social context, IMO. My impression was Japanese traditionally care less about familial blood relationships and more on the family as an institution, so they see no issues marrying a maternal relative or a biological relative who has been adopted out (which is common during the Shogunates).
