What? Asuka and his Mom are at some old man's house! Asuka is dressed in suit and everybody is dressed very formally! Harry Potter music is on! Lol! Man says he hopes Asuka will be pleased with his grandaughter! Girl, whos face we don't see, comes in and Asuka looks nervos! It all looks like they are getting prepared for aranged marage! Hope i'm mistaken!
We are back on day before and it is 16 days before kendo competition! Honestly name is too long! Reporters came because of Asuka and Isono is talking with them like coach till Dad comes and shouts to him to get lost! Isono falls on the floor just when Tonomine and Ariake are passing by! Tonomine is busy telling Ariake how to hold his hands and trips on Isono! He turns around to tel him to get lost, Ariake also trips and totally copies Tonomines way of talking! All with using Isonos' name without honorifications! LOL!
Mom is looking reporters who take pictures of Asuka while listening to report about school being out of the Otomens! She is not still convinced and remembers that curry burger she ate at school festival was familiar because it was made that way also by her ex!
Tachibana goes again with Asuka and Ryo to eat cakes and while Ryo is choosing he asks Asuka where is he with Ryo? Does he know how many months they haven't been out? Asuka starts to count! Tachibana asks what couple things they did! Asuka starts to blush while telling how they cooked and shared umbrella! Lol! Tachibana is so annoyed! He tells him to start blushing when they had kiss and he hugged her while walking! Till then they are just friends! Tachibana sometimes i just want to hug you!
Asuka is in his room sewing when his Mom knock on the door! He hurries to make mess in his room and hide pink doll! She is kind of pleased to see how his room looks but tells that she will clean it! Next thing she finds is his pink Josefine under blanket! Uh someone is in trouble! But Mom thinks it is from girl and Asuka couldn't possibly make something like that! Okada Masaki us really tall guy, didn't notice that until now! She invites him to dinner- burger curry! At the table she is so happy that he is growing up to be such manly guy and tells him that he is at the age where he will fall in love! But to be careful cause that is illusion! She fell in love with her father and she remembers his confession and Asuka has to catch her not to faint on the floor! He thinks that it is good that she doesn't know about him being otomen! Then she tells she made good decision and they will go tomorrow to see his fiancee! WHAT! Mom are you insane?
Yumeko-sensei comes in wearing blonde wig and spraying guys with hairspray! Hairspray! Lol! She tells them that she was in Central Texas School(CTS) and they are now giving one place for exchange for Ginyuri students! Isono wants to go since one of his grandparents is from America! Yeah, right! Yumeko sensei tell that when she was there she met one guy! Fantasy moment: Basketball court! Everyone except Yumeko have fake noses, some of them fake hairs! She is cheerleader and her guys team is 2 points behind! Ball comes to her and she gives it to guy with encouraging words! Guy gives wining point! Back to reality she says she met him here too! Hm!
Asukas' Mom and Miyakozuka Dad are at kendo gym and talking! Omg seems like Ryo is going to move again! Mom asks Dad to let Asuka miss today training! I was thinking: please say no! But he gives her a go!
English class and that weirdo teacher is talking his weird English! Nakajima and Hashimoto sound better! Nakajima asks if sensei is from CTU and Isono
copies senseis ticks while asking him to speak Japanese cause he don't understand! Obama-sensei tells his story: It is same as what Yumeko-sensei told only with more details! We see now that guys playing basket are guys from class just wearing big noses(all), wigs(Asuka, Isono), blond wigs(Nakajima, Ariake) and funniest of them all is Tonomine wearing braids! They play and music in back is Footloose, not sure why but it is funny! Yumeko gives him the ball and he scores and they win! He spills the beans how they dated! Men!
Ryo wants to tell something to Asuka, probably that she is moving but his Mom comes and he has to go! Again men! Tonomine meets him outside and berates him for missing the practice, Asuka just apologizes and asks for Tonomine to take care of guys today! He leaves Tonomine but he is not long alone cause Orihada appears next to him telling him how simple minded he is! To make Asuka look at you, first you have to make best of yourself! He praises her good words! She continues but when turns he is already gone! She sighs how for some reason she can't leave him alone! AWW!
Asuka and Mom come in front of big house with beautiful garden! She explains they have third generation friendship and he has to be polite! Like he is not already too polite! They meet with people from beginning of the episode, Mr and Mrs Sakiyama, they are friendly people! Grandpa was kendo partner to Asukas' grandpa! In comes Iruka, their grand-daughter wearing cute dress and holding weird stuffed bear!
Don't know if Tachibana putt chip in Asuka but he finds the house and some weird guy lets him in! He starts spying when his phone rings and it is Jonauchi Mira aka Asukas' Dad! He red last volume of Love-Tic and recognize characters! Tachibana is so happy his idol called him that i think he could pee his pants! And Dad is enjoying his role so much! Plus his lip gloss is awesome as always! Dad tells him that happiness without openess doesn't exist and that Asuka is too lonely!
In house Iruka takes Asuka to her room! She has log table and mushroom chairs, for 17yo girl that is too much! She has her own kitchen in room by! But she totally makes mess while making pancakes and manages to break plate! Asuka comes, remembers when Ryo was like that so he does makes pancakes and makes picture of her bear on them! Then in come Mom with grandparents! When Mom asks who made pancakes Asuka signalize Iruka to tell it is her! She goes with it!
Dad is talking with Ryo and she is surprised to hear that Dad knows Asukas' Mom AND Dad! He comments that Asukas'Mom didn't have that kind of look in her eyes back then! He brushes it off as single mother who raised her son while working! Well where is your evil look then?
I don't know why but Isono is in the school and almost passes classroom door when word 'CTU' catches his attention! He peeks thru the door and hears Obama and Yumeko talk: It has to be Masamune! When ti comes to Ginyuri, Masmune is nr.1!
Of course Isono thinks that MASAMUNE Asuka FIRST in GINYURI is going to CTU! If he waited for just little he would hear that it is about Director Masamune hearing first about their marriage plans! Heh!
Iruka asks Asuka why he hid the fact that he made crepe! He starts to answer but they hear someone in her room! When they come in it is the guy who let Tachibana in! And he is holding Juliet because she is collectible antique doll! Iruka grabs legs and guy the head and Juliet splits in two! Somehow that sounds funny! Guy is like why are you making a fuss about doll and comments that room is disgusting! Asuka tells that guy shouldn't make fun of someones friend and room! He thinks it is... cute! And then uses guys surprise to knocks him on the floor! Police comes in(where did they come from?) with Mom and Grandparents! Iruka tells them that Asuka protected her and then holds her Juliet and cries! Asuka remembers how he had to say goodbye to his dolls and later we see him sitting with Iruka and sewing Juliets' head! He explains that he can't say his Mom about being Otomen because she would have breakdown! She thinks it is hard to hide it but he knows his friends accept him like he is and that is enough! He asks her to keep his secret!
Next day Asuka is practicing in the yard at home and Mom tells him Granpa Sakiyama wants to meet him on Sunday to thank him for saving Iruka! Not sure why he didn't tell him that in person cause he suddenly comes with Iruka at school and wants to talk with Mom! Hm hm!
Ryo again asks Asuka to meet her on Sunday but he apologizes cause he is busy! Didn't you pay attention on the fact that she is asking you to talk? He goes and Isono chose that moment to break the bomb about Asukas going to America! Tho Isono adds some things like Asuka is going to leave captain position to him! Ha, keep dreamin'! When Tonomine hears he freaks out! Tachibana didn't hear this cause he run after Asuka to ask why he turned down Ryo! He tells the same Mira/Dad told him, happiness cannot exist with always holding back!
Asuka walks to think and Iruka crosses his path! She tells him she wants to be his fiancee! He is like: wtf! And honestly tells her that he likes someone else! But little Iruka uses dirty tricks and blackmails him with fact that he is an Otomen and she will tell that to his Mom! Little bitch! At that moment Ryo comes and sees Iruka smiling at Asuka!
I'm entertained by the fact that young Asuka is played by girl! That said this episode was quite something! It showed us what friends are: persons who do not use our weaknesses against us! That is why Tachibana is friend tho he uses Asukas friendship for personal gain! As matter of fact he is doing Asuka favour because he is making Otomens socially accepted! Iruka irritates me for the fact that Asuka helped him and she can't jump out of her selfish little box and help him a little! She wants him as her new toy but need to find out that he has feelings and she needs to respect them! Hope Tachibana smacks her some way! He is a honest guy he could do it!
I am worried that Ryo will not tell Asuka that she is leaving and that she will write a letter or something! That would be lame! The thing i'm mostly interested now is if they will do something with Tonomine and Orihada and how will it end! Cause it can go both ways!
