Summary:
It’s time for the physical exam. While Kanako hates finding she has grown taller/bustier, the shortage of nurses has provided her with the chance to ogle and grope unsuspecting young girls help with the exam. Unfortunately, just the sight of Nanami undressing causes Kanako to erupt in a bloody fountain, and she can only lay in an anemic daze while all the girls undress behind a thin curtain. When Kanako hears that Mariya is in for his exam she springs out of bed and is extremely surprised by what she sees. The simple explanation is that Mariya has a twin sister, Shizu, and the two switched places for the physical exam at Shizu’s request.
It turns out Shizu is cross-dressing at the all-boy brother school, Mihoshi no Mori. Her late grandmother set up a game to determine the next chairman of both schools, and Mariya and Shizu must cross-dress without being discovered by any students at either school. Shizu thinks she’s won the game, but Mariya reveals that Kanako discovered the secret a day before enrolling. As Shizu runs away crying, Mariya reveals that this is all to help Shizu get over her hatred of men, because Mariya feels that Shizu should be the next chairman. The episode ends with Honoka revealing that someone stole her underwear and Kanako is the only suspect.
Reaction:
The scene where Shizu tries to make a dramatic retreat and then runs into the locked door killed me, but Kanako explaining,” Moe!” and Shizu redoing her exit sent that scene over the top. All in all this was a great episode, and I thought the voice work was excellent. As for the cliffhanger, I figure Kanako didn’t steal the underwear. Since it would be silly for Mariya to do it, either it’s a setup by Honoka, or some random girl we don’t know much about did it.
I wonder if we will get to see Shizu at Mihoshi no Mori. The stuff about getting her recorder mouthpiece stolen was so silly. Who still plays the recorder in high school? And what kind of self-respecting guy would pull such a lame prank? My secret theory is that everyone at Mihoshi no Mori is actually a girl dressed as a guy. Haha, Shizu, joke’s on you!

Prime Minister Ryuuken-sama will prove President Kanako’s innocence if it was Shizu who took it then we have the perfect excuse for seeing Shizu in her altered environment. Still the Yuri is with Kanako as she was able to accurately predict what Honoka was wearing at the time.
I thought that Kanako knew what Honaka was wearing because she overheard the girls giggling about how cute Honaka’s underwear was.
It would definitely be intriguing if Shizu stole the underwear, but considering what trouble she had just getting the door open I am not too hopeful.
yeah Kanako knew what Honaka was wearing, and then she probably filled in the details with her imagination lol. Good thing she was separated from the other girls or she really might have died or have to be sent to a real hospital.
Yeah I think you’re right Kabitzin, I think she just overheard them talking about it.
During the scene where everyone’s changing, I dunno if you noticed some background suprises:

OMG Alto!!! This must be what the OVA is about.
There was actually a Slayers TRY episode where the punchline/conclusion was exactly something like this!
Sadly… I think I remember this episode…
I remember that in Slayers TRY. Zel crossdressed as a woman, but realized the whole “girl” academy was full of guys! XD
My recorder burned in Hell after elementary school. As for the panty thief
Pres. Kanako still might suffer impeachment, but Alto-hime, Ranka Lee, and Hatsune Miku (didn’t you see her? She’s on the far left of that pic) will crossdress and sing to end this wrong accusation!DECULTURE!
More omakes for the preview…interesting and all…should use Shizu for more eyecatchers ^^
