Bamboo Blade 09

Tamaki is having a tough time balancing school, club activities, and her part time job. Sayako is having a tough time with tests, as she is not very good at math. However, nobody is having as hard a time as Toraji. After this annoying woman steals his parking space, his cheap beer (ranged attack!), and his spot in line, she even slams into the side of his car with her own car. Toraji is really annoyed, and in his effort to show he is not a NEET he reveals that he is a part-time teacher.

As luck would have it, the annoying woman is best friends with the superintendent’s wife (her neighbor). Now, Toraji will probably be forced to resign at the end of the year. The only hope he has for keeping his job is to take the kendo club to Nationals. Meanwhile, at the Moo Moo House, Tamaki gets a strange vibe from one of the customers.

I was surprised at how smart the freshman in the club are. While Kirino is impressively ranked 20 in the junior class, Yuuji is #4 in the freshman class, and Dan is #2. Yuuji seems to believe that Dan has some tremendous upside potential, and even Kirino is momentarily stunned by Dan’s charm (a part of me died when I saw this).

Anyway, I wonder if Toraji’s plan will work. Although he’s serious about it now, he will probably end up doing nothing and just rely on Tamaki to take the club all the way. If she’s finished with her part-time job by then, maybe it will happen. Speaking of which, we got to see the bespectacled OP girl again, and she was buying a bunch of academic charms. Hmmmm…

    Just FYI, Kirino has a fetish for sweat. She was reacting to the sweat on Dan-kun, and not actually Dan-kun himself.

    Cheers.

    Oh thank goodness, I was getting worried there. Although when I think about it some more, it’s still a little weird.

    Kirino would be beside herself if she ever met Hosaka from Minami-ke.

    I’ll just pretend that I didn’t hear that.

    I’m not sure that ’sweat > Dan’ is any more comforting. >_<

    The slow-motion silent argument at the carpark after the crash with serious music playing in the background was a classic. I think I laughed as hard as I did at the Ninomiya-kun/Sensei gag in Minami-ke.
