Milfs, love potions, and hot springs….what’s missing?

Summary:

Kouta is impressed when he and Chizuru reach a hot springs resort, but Chizuru is more concerned with why all of their other friends had to tag along as well. The spring’s manager soon introduces herself as Tamamo to the group, and Kouta is surprised when he sees Yukihana working there as well. Further surprising the group, Tamamo introduces herself as Chizuru’s mother. While the girls have their usual talks in the rooms later, Chizuru leaves while implying that she is not on the best terms with her mother. While sitting alone elsewhere, she remembers Yukihana’s message for her to come to the hot springs after their previous test. After Kouta appears to cheer Chizuru up, they head to the hot springs. Nozomu accompanies them, however, and the baths turn out to be separated for gender.

Kouta prepares to leave the bath after awhile, but he is shocked when Tamamo enters to wash his back. When Chizuru hears the noises Kouta makes on the girls’ side of the bath, she suspects that her mother is doing something. Further more, she finds that a barrier has been placed around the boys’ bath. Kouta takes the chance to ask Tamamo if Chizuru has always acted the way she has, but he is surprised to hear that Tamamo is not Chizuru’s true mother. She and Tayura had been taken in by her a couple hundred years ago. Tamamo soon changes the subject to something more erotic, but this results in Chizuru’s breaking in to that side of the bath. While Chizuru attempts to challenge Tamamo, she reveals that she is a nine tailed fox. This quarrel soon dissolves though, when Kouta passes out from blood loss.

During dinner, Chizuru goes missing as she has been trapped in a barrel. Tamamo introduces a drink called Kubito to the rest of the group in the meantime. Although it is not alcohol, she implies that it does have an effect on humans. When Chizuru finally breaks out, she finds that Kouta has already become quite attached to Nozomu because of the drink’s effects. In the meantime, the drink has taken effect on the others in different ways as well. Chizuru desperately goes after Kouta as he and Nozomu go to various private places, but when she finally catches up to them, she falls into despair while Kouta calls her a bother. While she is alone, Chizuru is only able to think about her wish for Kouta to return to the way he usually is. Kouta finally regains his senses right before going down on Nozomu, as images of Chizuru go through his mind. When he finds Chizuru crying alone afterwards, she quickly embraces him. As the group leaves in the morning, Tamamo leaves Chizuru in Kouta’s hands. In the end, this was another test.

Preview: I heard you like ninja lolis.

Impression:

Maybe the tits…..on the boobs. So, if you hadn’t already heard the news, Kanokon has been pulled from some of its broadcasting services because of its material. After last week, was this surprising at all? I was wondering what was up after the first episode. All of this considered, I don’t know if this episode was really as bad as most of us were expecting it to be. Even though the plot almost came straight out of some cheap hentai, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. It was interesting to finally meet Chizuru’s mother, a nine tailed fox at that. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing Yukihana either. Watching Tayura desperately go after Akane was as hilarious as ever, and who doesn’t enjoy a love potion theme every once in awhile? Well, watching Kouta in “I want sexxorz” mode was kind of weird. The love power vibes in the end were definitely win too. We got more hints towards the two characters who showed up a few episodes back, and it looks like they might be properly introduced in the next episode.
