Summary:

  • Kanako wakes with a number of expressions on her face, so Mariya quickly has Matsurika take care of her.
  • Kanako finally reveals that she has been asked to help with the upcoming health examinations, and she was obviously excited at the chance to see girls in the particular situation.
  • Mariya leaves early in the morning, and as he does not appear during breakfast, the girls around Kanako guess that he is simply at his house that is nearby campus. Kanako sees this as his running away from the examinations.
  • During the examinations, Kanako collapses from loss of blood after seeing the nearby girls undress.
  • Later, when the first years arrive, Kanako is surprised to hear that Mariya is in the infirmary. When she finds “him” though, she is shocked to see that Mariya has breasts.
  • The female Mariya finds Kanako’s actions strange as she sits with her later, but then becomes ecstatic when Kanako reveals her knowledge of Mariya’s being a boy.
  • When the real Mariya appears, he reveals that this person is actually his twin sister Shizu. Mariya and Shizu have been playing a game to see how far they could go in playing each other’s roles in all male and female schools. According to their grandmother, the winner would become chairman of both Ame no Kisaki and the male equivalent.
  • Shizu believes she has won already, but Mariya explains that Kanako had realized he was a boy before becoming a student at Ame no Kisaki. On the other hand, Shizu had revealed her identity to her on the spot.
  • Mariya offers to let Shizu go with an apology and kissing of the feet, but this causes her to leave the room in tears.
  • Mariya reveals in private to Kanako that he actually only saw Shizu’s attending an all boys school as a chance for her to overcome her fear of men, and that was even willing to let her have the chair position. With this being a secret between him and her, Kanako is touched by his words once again.

Sorry for the lazy summary. I’m busy this weekend. If you want a direct translation, just go find the manga. The anime follows it very closely.

Preview: This is where the preview text goes, kay.

Impression:

Why does the character that would make Mariya safe have to be played by someone I dread so much? That aside, this episode was probably one of the best yet. Mariya’s twin sister Shizu, playing the exact opposite role of her brother, would have been a real shocker……if everyone hadn’t already been spoiled weeks ago already. (You know you were spoiled already.) Kanako’s typical pervertedness made everything all the more fun, and I was laughing from start to finish because of things like her being accused of stealing Honoka’s beautiful undergarments.

Notes:

  • Kanako, already whipped by Mariya.
  • God…praying to herself.
  • The busty nurse…always a necessary element.
  • Fanservice……or plot device??
  • Shizu must be a fan of Kotomi.
  • *moe*

    Ah, the secret’s revealed – although I find it funny that Kanako has to room with her nightmare, when Mariya’s sister is all she secretly dreams of in a partner… and has as bad a phobia of men as she herself does. It still makes you want to see Mariya tease Kanako more, though.

    I didn’t know that Mariya had a twin sister until this episode… then again I tried my best to stay away from the manga. Mariya getting the best of Shizu was pretty funny. Shizu would be perfect for Kanako: has Mariya’s looks and afraid of men. Too bad Kanako will never get her though.

    Getting expelled from the school might be blessing for Kanako. If she stays it looks like she just might die from nosebleeding.

    I actually thought Aya did a rather decent job with Shizu, and this coming from a person who dislikes her just as much as you do. I cannot forgive SHAFT for giving Shizu big titties, however.

    Did anyone not notice Mariya putting up an AT Field near the end? I lol’ed when I saw that. (EVA fans would know what I’m talking about. )
