Summary:

Ryuuken’s gesture is sweet, but it’s hurting Kanako (literally) more than it’s helping her. Every time Ryuuken appears in her kendo uniform, Kanako gets trampled or becomes the target of unwelcome stares. Even worse, Nanami dashes Kanako’s plans for a lesbian wedding by revealing that the whole dating thing was just a ploy to help out Kanako. Nanami doesn’t care about rumors; Nanami feels duty bound to help Kanako because she promised Fumi she would.

Honoka is pissed and prepares a fiendish new plot with a fiendish new seafood product, and Mariya is annoyed that Ryuuken is stalking Kanako because he doesn’t want his secret to get out. One night, while sleeping over in Kanako’s room, Ryuuken reveals that her cat Kohime used to bully her dog Seneatsu because the cat was jealous of the daily walks Ryuuken took the dog on. Seneatsu got hit by a car, and Ryuuken felt out of the loop for not recognizing the bullying. The story doesn’t make much sense, but thankfully, Nanami gets Ryuuken to back off by saying that she needs to have some time to get it on with Kanako.

Reaction:

Enough of Ryuuken! I liked how Kanako mentioned that having a bodyguard is actually really annoying, although from the Matsurika diary you’d think that Kanako enjoyed being trampled by other schoolgirls. Ryuuken’s story was kinda stupid and irrelevant; the only good thing about Ryuuken’s protection was that it gave Nanami and Honoka more screen time. I feel bad for Mariya because even with meido-cosplay he can’t even get any face time. What gives?

I can’t help but be suspicious of Nanami’s reasoning. Is it really just because Fumi said so? I wonder if our little quiet meganekko really has ulterior motives. I also liked the stained glass background during the conversation between Nanami and Kanako. I don’t understand why we keep getting Dorm Leader forced on us, although I was curious about what price Ryuuken had to pay in order to spend the night in Kanako’s room.

Only being trampled by beautiful female main charas is enjoyable, not by faceless NPCs! ;)

What about male main characters dressed as female main characters?

Kanako doesn’t mind as long as the tramplers are pretty girls or traps.

Demigod, powerful, plant, beautiful, and excellent are the different meanings of Kana. That may explain the alaria thing. Perhaps, Endou Minari likes to use oxymorons or opposites and is making Kanako a victim of a pure soul or sea of bitterness (Mariya’s meaning). Whatever happens, we enjoy the fap, yuri, and dorm-manager-kami-sama. :)
