Maria-sama ga Miteru 4th Season – 07
Dere dere dere dere TSUN!
Summary:
Sitting next to her during church service, Yumi wonders if she should tell Sachiko about Touko’s visiting her house the previous night. When Yumi and Yoshino arrive at the Rose Mansion later, Noriko presents them with a package from Yoko. Inside are decorations for the upcoming party. The two further see that Shimako is preparing a roll cake under Rei, which Yumi realizes is Rei’s way of passing down something before she graduates. Yoshino leaves to get Nana as the rest of the Roses and guests arrive, but when she returns, she and Rei both freeze because of their lingering feelings. To Yumi’s relief, Tsutako saves them from this moment by gathering everyone for a picture. Sachiko has everyone sit down to introduce themselves to Nana afterwards, and despite Yoshino’s worrying about her having been seated away from her future soeur, the introductions go quite well. Touko’s becomes quite impressive, as she plays a part of a play to catch everyone’s attention.
The girls have free time afterwards, as Yumi takes note of Touko’s speaking with Shimako. Talking with Shimako in private afterwards, she learns that Touko was questioning about her family’s shrine among other things. Surprising Yumi, Shimako also mentions her brother to her for the first time. When the two return to the rest of the group, they find that Yoshino is quite angry with Rei. They soon learn that Rei had just revealed to Yoshino that she wouldn’t be attending Lillian’s university. Rei’s reason for leaving was her want to learn something that was not offered at Lillian’s college. Yoshino and Rei make up after a short while, but this leads Yumi to ask Sachiko of her university plans. When Sachiko announces that she would be attending Lillian’s college, Yumi is put to relief. Yumi prepares to give Sachiko a gift, but she leaves when she sees Touko exiting.
Yumi takes the chance to walk with Touko, starting idle talk with her. When she brings up Rei and Sachiko’s circumstances, Touko states that not everything always goes as planned for people. When Touko was younger, she had become very interested in drawing maps. However, she eventually realized that this would not go as well as she planned. In the end, Touko could not create the map that she wanted to. After awhile, Yumi finally asks if Touko would become her soeur. Even as she prepares to hand over her rosary, however, Touko turns down the offer after expressing that she is not someone who would go along with such a thing so easily. Left alone in the aftermath, Yumi meets with Sachiko who takes the chance to present her with a gift. Yumi replies with her own gift, but soon after, she starts falling into tears because of what had just happened. With this, Sachiko advices her to simply keep trying. Yumi’s feelings were different than Sachiko’s, who had thought it didn’t matter when she was turned down by Shimako, Yumi agrees, but she still takes the chance to cry in Sachiko’s arms.
Preview: Yukata time.
Impression:
Touko, you freaking jerk!!! Yumi must have not built up enough hearts before going in for the kill! But really, what a disappointment. I was so ready when Yumi busted out that rosary, only to see Touko go “Just as planned!” and run off like the little girl she is. Should have known! I guess we really are going to have to wait for Suguru to tell Yumi her secret before this will become anywhere close to getting resolved. I also loved Touko’s flashbacks to her map coloring antics; an excuse to show her as a loli IMHO. The rest of the episode really didn’t get us anywhere new, though it wasn’t boring at the least. Rei finally made up with Yoshino, and it seems like Nana is guaranteed her spot with the Roses now.
Notes:
- No, Yumi. Telling Sachiko about Touko and your room would be very very bad.
- Nice burger king crown, Rei. Hope Pizza Hut wasn’t watching.
- Kanako would join the basketball team.
- Needed more twister screen time.
- The wind really picks up at the most convenient moments.
- The only places that Yumi can cry are in the bathroom or Sachiko’s chest.

Poor Yumi.
Bad way to spend the Valentine’s.
Clannad reference in MY MARIMITE? Is it just me, or has the emotional quota been at an all time high lately?
Show ▼
And now Yumi getting rejected. It really seems to much like a coincidence that they all chose to put the emotional climaxes this week.
Maybe this is all just a big ‘fuck you’ to the viewers spending valentine’s alone watching these shows. Meh, even if it is, I got to say that this has been a pretty damn entertaining week as for as the lovecom and drama shows goes.
lol, tell me about it! I was thinking the same thing.
PS: spoiler tagging your comment for indirect…spoilers.
It’s a pity that Yumi won’t take Kanako as her souer… if only so Touko’s ‘plan’ would backfire. But, given that Kanako’s role looks like a designated victim…
Sorry Yumi-chan that I couldn’t cry along with you this time since I cried quite a bit on latest episode of Clannad after story already T___T
It’s a really slow development. they have new year eve party after yumi is rejected by touko & before yumi made further move to touko. what the hell is yumi doing at holiday? couldn’t she met touko & talk to her during holiday? how much longer do i have to wait till there’s a better development between them? which episode is it yumi will offer her rosary again???? GRHHHHHH I CAN’T WAIT!!!! i have to wait at least next 2 weeks to know because next week is about party only!!! >:(
well, actually i think yumi is too in rash. she seems couldn’t read touko feeling when they walk together before yumi offer her rosary. at that time touko is rather harsh to her and try keep distance from yumi. so it’s really not good timing. yumi doesnt really know touko & doesnt understand touko feeling yet she proposed her. when she gives the rosary yumi doesnt give any explanation or good speech, just ask “am I not good?” as if she doesnt really mean to make touko her seour.
As indicated by the last episode, I’m pretty sure that Yumi is just worried that Touko will drift further away from her if she doesn’t do “something” (something obviously being making Touko her soeur now). So, yea. She may be rash, but for a reason.
Despite all jokes surrounding it, Marimite is just a show about friendship by the end of the day. ;P
What about Sei?!? ;_;
Animation quality seems to have dropped a bit. They should have served pizza at the party.
woah I knew something seemed weird about the animation in this episode o.o” but yeah I was like OMG! she’s gonna give Touko her rosary but yeah…poor Yumi
and NOOO! Sachiko is going to college! hopefully they don’t show her once in a while like with Sei and the others cause that would ruin the show (in my opinion) *is a sachiko fan girl* XD
Don’t worry.
Someone told me the novel ends when Sachiko graduates.
I will miss these girls.
