Okay... Right now, I'm about to rant I am getting EXTREMELY PISSED OFF at this show

Just look above. Take a good look at that. THAT is the only thing different about this episode from the rest of the episodes that have aired so far. For the past few eps, they've been taking about 1 manga chapter an ep (they finished manga chapter 8 with episode 11) but the series has just barely started and they can't get past doing flashbacks.

If you wanna know what happens in this ep... Look at summaries of episodes 2-11

And to whomever decided to make NANA full of flashbacks, GET IT STRAIGHT!!!!

While precious sweet Honey was eating some yummy cake, he suddenly began to have tooth pains. He tried to shake it off but the pain never goes away. Tamaki immediately restricts him from eating cake, but the real shocker to Honey is when Mori restricts his sugar intake. Immediately beginning the next day, Honey is protected from all sorts of sweets. Mori empties out his bag of candies he was just going to "look" at but then suggest he looks at pictures of cake. Then he tries to take being better, but that's foiled quickly by Mori. Some of the customers even want to give him sweets, but Tamaki insists that they don't for his sake. He tries every trick in the book to try to get some sweets, but none of them work and on the third day, he totally loses it.

After coming across a bare candy cabinet (except for Tamaki's Kuma-chan [wait a sec... that's HIS?!!?]) Honey gets upset and passes out. But when Tamaki checks on him, Honey bites him. This upsets Mori and he scolds Honey. He then gets supremely upset throwing Mori and telling him that he hates him before running off. Mori is beyond crushed because Honey really is the most important person in his life and he realises he could have avoided this situation by telling Honey to brush [This is common American knowledge... but I guess not in Japan... ]... Thanks to Tamaki's thinking, he gets Honey to come back and see how sad Mori is and he quickly runs over crying and appologises and their friendship is mended.

The next day, Honey's tooth is okay and he's back to eating cake once again!

There were some side things to this episode that were outside of Honey's toothache problem. There was the twin's spilling tea on Usa-chan and the silly story Mori came up with to keep Honey happy (he said that Usa-chan wanted tea) as well as why you shouldn't wake Honey (a flashback of what I think was a servant of Honey's family trying to wake him up and he says angrily [in English] "I'm.. still.. slee..py!" before ultimate distruction) and Mori turning down a girl's proposal of love and her figuring out who's so important in Mori's life to turn her down. Another filler-ish episode, but it does have some lovely character development with Mori and Honey!

And the last episode of Joshikousei is a filler ep. The cultural festival is in full swing and the girls decide to do a maid cafe. However, the class next door has the same idea, but they've one-upped Eriko's class by making it a neko maid cafe. The two classes duke it out one-upping each other until Eriko's class gets the idea to offer sensual massages by the pool in their swimsuits. The idea doesn't seem that great when the only customer is Odagiri-sensei. However, Eriko considers a customer a customer and gives him the full treatment and when other potential customers look in, she turns up the appeal to 11 when she massages oil into his back in quite an interesting way. They instantly become a hit, but then the other girls get tired or decide to do other things until it's just Eriko trying to take care of the customers all by herself. Then Momoka makes an appearance to help out and shows them a quicker way of giving pleasing massages that ends up being a hit.

That's bassically it other than a bonfire scene and the girls embracing their idiocity. The episode ends there... But not without showing the beginning of the next year. The girls all move on to become 2nd year students, and Momoka, even though she didn't want anything to do with her sister in the past, ends up attending Saki Girl's as well.



In the end, it was just a casual show. A little short, a little too fluffy, but still, it provided entertainment and comedy at times with a little drama. I really wanted a little more character development, but I guess that wasn't gonna happen. But unlike some other shows, I'm not wishing for my time back... but I really don't feel the need to watch it again. Maybe if it becomes available stateside, I'll have a renewed appreciation for this always upbeat show.
