It’s another crappy day for Ureshiko as she defeats Chane (another mahou shoujo), but catches a cold in the rain. Mai keeps making teasing comments about Ureshiko and Kagura being close, but unfortunately Kagura seems more interested in Sayaka. Ureshiko starts getting jealous when Sayaka invites Kagura on a beach date and ends up following the two of them to the beach with a pair of binoculars. Sayaka almost ends up kissing Kagura during a romantic moment, but in the end remembers Valentine’s warning and pushes him away. It’s a tiring day of spying and avoiding harassment, and by the end of the date, Ureshiko is worn out. Naturally Chane and her twin Hermes ambush Ureshiko, but Sayaka intervenes. Although Chane and Hermes came to help Sayaka, Sayaka is in such a bad mood that she drives them off. Ureshiko then falls into the water, and chibi-Sayaka has to get Kagura’s help to fish her out. Will Kagura have to give Ureshiko CPR?!
Another subtly great episode, even with such a focus on fanservice. I love how this series always has a juxtaposition between Sayaka and Ureshiko’s situation, and this time was no different. Once more, Sayaka is shown that being a mahou shoujo is not all fun and games. Kagura’s caught up in the middle of everything, and it’s painful to see him sitting helplessly on the beach wondering what went wrong. Ureshiko’s sad past highlights how hard it is to be Manager, and it was sad that she settled for a Japanese-style wedding just to avoid a kiss.
If I was Kagura, I would be totally befuddled. The kid’s pretty smooth too, even noticing Ureshiko’s bangs!

Did she really take three guys as hinted by the screenshots or am I just imagening things?
I guess that depends on what you mean by “take three guys”. To answer both versions, yes she gave them the smackdown, and no I don’t think she’s ever been past 1st base.
Ok, then I have still no reason to watch it. ^_^
