「有為転変」 (Ui Tenpen)
“The Way of the World”
As mentioned last week, I still prefer the timid Anri who has a complex with emotionally affixing herself to others over the Saika-wielding one who does it to counterbalance being possessed.

「男・鮎沢塾！」 (Otoko / Ayuzawa Juku!)
“Ayuzawa School of Guys!”
Takumi finally steals a kiss! The timing couldn’t have been any better either, as Misaki was freaking out like crazy after she knocked his prized photo out of his hands, causing it to fall from the rooftop towards her new faithful followers — the Inuyama quintuplets.

「金城さんが来る！あのキラキラが許せない！」 (Kanejou-san ga Kuru! Ano Kirakira ga Yurusenai!)
“Kanejou Arrives! That Dazzle is Unforgivable!”
Six episodes later and a full year has already passed by. The one thing that hasn’t changed is that Yamada is still as much of a virgin as she was four seasons ago.

「加減がねぇ」 (Kagen ga ne-)
“She Doesn’t Hold Back”
Due to the emphasis on character interactions in lieu of action in this series, I’m not surprised by the lack of discussion it’s generating; however, I personally enjoy watching Masa slowly unravel the mystery behind Yaichi’s past.

「Someday…」
I know I’ve said this series isn’t for the faint of heart, but even I couldn’t help but wince and clutch my right hand when I saw Mario’s get crushed by some inmates in cahoots with Ishihara.

「迷い猫、泣いた」 (Mayoi Neko, Naita)
“Stray Cat, Cried”
One of the things that have impressed me with AIC‘s work in comedies as of late is their tendency to try and tie in every episode with those before it, which isn’t something that one would normally expect from this genre.

「お留守番！」 (Orusuban!)
“Staying Behind!”
Azu-nyan says, “Live long and prosper!” Actually, no she doesn’t, but I can always pretend that she did when she taught some guitar finger stretching exercises to the first-years in Jun’s Jazz Research Society club.

「夏の陰画」 (Natsu no Inga)
“Photo Negative of Summer”
As suggested in the preview last time, this week we have a mini story on an old friend of Kazura’s, whom he starts asking around about after seeing him in a photo that Aoi took.

「帰らぬ日々白き明日」 (Kaeranu Hibi Shiroki Ashita)
“A Daily Lifestyle He Can’t Return To and An Unknown Future”
There were probably a few more tears than needed from Yuki this time around, but I’m still okay with the male emotional angst given the backstory to his character.
