Ninomiya-kun - 08
If Reika were here…
Summary:
As big breasts are no longer accepted because of Reika’s actions, Mayu attempts to make hers appear smaller by wrapping them up. However, after being called by Ninomiya, she finds that it isn’t successful as she originally thought. Ryoko is enjoying herself outside, but she suddenly becomes hungry. Calling out to her brother, she demands ramen from Ninomiya. Mayu offers help to Ninomiya when they meet in front of the kitchen, but none of her suggestions will quite work. Ninomiya starts looking for things to use for the ramen, as he expresses how nice it would be for the all able Reika to be there. Unfortunately, she is at a business meeting. Mayu calls Ninomiya to show him a recipe she has found online, but she becomes nervous when Ninomiya gets inside her personal space. Mayu starts helping Ninomiya prepare his sister’s meal, but Ryoko continues to be impatient. Mayu finds even more details on the site she is visiting, so Ninomiya sets out to get more ingredients. Ninomiya leaves part of the meal preparation up to Mayu in his absence, but she has a bit of difficulty stirring the soup. To get help, she makes a call to her usual source.
Ninomiya is surprised to find Mikihiko at the granary he arrives at, but he is offered the ingredients he needs all the same. Meanwhile, Hinako has arrived to help Mayu with the soup. Finding that it is extremely hot, Hinako generates a combination of clothing to help relieve herself. Hinako also wants Mayu to wear the swimsuit apron combo, but she resists. Ninomiya finds Mikihiko again when he reaches a ranch, and is again given a ridiculous task for the ingredients he needs. Irori arrives at the Ninomiya household, with business dealing with the school trip. She finds Mayu and Hinako in a very misleading situation, and gets dragged in as well. Ninomiya has begun to realize the pattern when he finds Mikihiko again, but he still goes on to catch a giant fish. Shinobu has been left at Ninomiya’s house in Reika’s absence, but she makes the mistake of walking into the kitchen. The girls have all lost their senses by the time Ninomiya reaches home, but he finally has the ramen made. When Ninomiya and the girls finally go out to present their creation to Ryoko, they are shocked to find that Reika has already arrived to offer her the new Hojo cup ramen. This satisfies Ryoko, but makes everyone else very angry. As everyone eats the good tasting ramen afterwards, Reika is left in her room with a bathing suit and apron on.
Preview: Hot springs episode. It wouldn’t have been a love comedy without it!
Impression:
…..then this episode would have been a lot better. That’s what you wanted to say right, Shungo? Wow, this episode made me feel dirty and dumb at the same time. How blatant can you get? They might as well have made this hentai (incoming traffic coming from “Ninomiya hentai” has now started). I mean, what the heck was this? Like, some sick soup stirring fetish? Going classic love comedy mode, they even managed to get every girl in a bathing suit and apron by the end of the episode. Added with random journeys for mysterious ingredients and an out of place request for ramen, this episode was enough to make anyone who thinks too hard lose brain cells. Well, at least it was nice to have the ability to laugh freely this week by being back at home for Thanksgiving. With that said, Mayu getting elbowed in the boobs was hilarious. Next week is the episode we’ve all been expecting, complete with Totali’s love comedy rule number one.
PS: Ramen is actually very bad for you. Don’t take anime’s example, kids!

“Personal Space” is a new euphemism for cleavage. ^^
“she becomes nervous when Ninomiya gets inside her personal space” sounds extremely dirty. XD Yeah this episode was basically hentai, without the tai. “it’s so hard and thick and stout!” Still had me laughing at the sheer stupidity as usual though! Notice how Ninomiya has started thinking about Reika more though… tis a good sign!
I was wondering when a hotsprings episode would show up. Every show has one. Although I liked the one for “Kaze no Stigma”… That one was just hilarious.
P.S: While I agree that cup ramen and other instant ramens are a total health atrocity (I’m looking at you monosodium glutamate), if you get good ramen at a restaurant in Japan, like what Ninomiya made, that is pure ambrosia! *sigh* if only they had good a good ramenyasan in America… Makes one want to go to Japan even more often.
I am pretty sure that it is supposed to be hadaka apron except that it would be censored with no’s if that were the case.
As with the previous episode… Error! Insufficient Reika. And I shall comfort Reika in the last frame. >_>
The episodes are really just getting more and more ridiculous each week. Mayu, yet again, is successful in making me question if she really is just dumb or really slow and clueless. What is up with the amount of screen time Reika gets anyway? It is like she is always in some business meeting now. IMO, I say Mayu should get less screen time. Oh wait, she has giant boobs and so is crucial to the show as if she were gone, people will notice that the plot is…non-existent >:(
Move your arms!
Aroduc: hey, there’s nothing wrong with my wording!
Zakarum: “Yeah this episode was basically hentai, without the tai. ” LOL what a pun.
Di Gi Kazune: If there’s not enough Reika in the next episode I’m gonna be pissed! If I had to see that spinning no in this show too…..ugh!
Halcyon: Sigh….people are so easily won over by boobies.
Tenshinhan: You would like that wouldn’t you!!
hen deshou?
This show would have nothing if there were spinning “no”s covering everything.
This episode sucked so hard. Also, I think it confirms my beliefs that the white-haired girl seems to have a thing for Reika, but I guess that’s kinda obvious, though.
Man, this season SUCKS compared to Spring and even Summer earlier this year (this was my first year following Anime) My japanese has gotten better, but I understand about 12 percent of things at this point. So, I still NEED fansubbers to finish Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, insert standard “despair” joke.
Zakarum: If fanservice was covered up in a fanservice centered show…..yea, there would basically be nothing left. xD
Rentington: I personally don’t find the season to be that bad, but I could probably agree that it isn’t as strong as the past two. The winter season also looks pretty barren with the exception of a few anime :S. It’s awsome that you’re progressing with your Japanese….haha, I’m still believing that the subbers will not finish SZS before the second season starts. BTW you got the 2,000th comment. I dunno if I can do anything special though…unless you want me to do something cool.
wait a sec… didn’t you hit 1000 just a few months ago? I told you it would be quick.
Yea, I can’t believe it @_@. I guess I’m getting out there now….it’s scary! :3
I like this site because there isn’t an absolute flood of comments like on certain other sites. Also, you actually respond to comments Totali :X
I guess that comes from my own love of reading anime blogs. I also like posting on smaller blogs with less comment flood. Also, it kind of annoys me when I don’t get responses sometimes xD!
