Ah, I see what you did there AIC…twisting the order of events in the manga slightly to coincide with new harem members appearing one after another. Normally I’d call this rushed. But this time, I’ll make an exception, because my favourite member of the Rinjinbu has just appeared, the one I fan-gasmed about too much for a character that hardly got any screen time. Everyone, put your hands together for…SHIGUMA RIKAAAAAA!
Summary
The Rinjinbu gets three new members in quick succession – Takeyama Maria, the club moderator whom Yozora actually tricked to obtain the clubroom, former stalker and trap Kusunoki Yukimura and scientist Shiguma Rika, a sex-obsessed genius that actually figured out the recruitment poster’s secret message.
Impression
Stop…please…laughing…too much… keels over and dies laughing
Ahh, that’s better. As always, BokuTomo is a breath of fresh air that, unfortunately only comes once a week yet manages to stand out from all the other anime airing this season, and that is a feat in itself.
To the Rinjinbu, lolis are pretty common it seems, and Kodaka randomly finds one sleeping on the clubroom sofa – it’s Maria, a nun and the club’s “moderator”. From how much she exploits people, I really doubt Yozora’s religious at all. And Maria, you don’t exactly have to be gullible to realize that the Lord never mentioned giving rooms away and signing club paperwork in the Bible. Ticks the gullible box Being the dominator she is, Yozora quickly sets Maria (or rather, her new slave) stuff to do, right after making her beg to moderate a club that she’s supposed to have control over. Sora is such a bitch. Or amazing. Or both xD
Next! The stalker that appeared a few episodes ago is revealed as the first-year student Yukimura, and- oh wait. Yeah, you’ve pretty much guessed, but to save any WTF realizations – IT’S A TRAP. Or is it? Actually no-one’s even sure since they were really ambiguous, but to make it simpler (and to reduce awkward gay discovery moments) we’ll keep Yukimura a boy for now. Yeah, well, dressing up in the school’s female uniform and as a maid in the clubroom isn’t going to help anything you know. Or calling himself Kodaka’s aniki and underling. Though I have to admit, Yukimura’s one of the more stable characters in the show.
The last haremette that turned up was none other than…RIKA!
RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA deep breath
RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA RIKA
God I sound like a Pokemon. BUT!
SHE IS JUST.
SO AWESOME.
YES, EVEN MORE THAN INORI. YOU KNOW, THAT GUILTY CROWN CHICK.
THOUGH YUNO FROM MIRAI NIKKI COULD GIVE HER A RUN FOR HER MONEY.
I HAVE TO TAKE HER HOME OR SOMETHING.
IT’S LIKE, <insert favourite bishoujo here> EXCEPT 100x AS GODLY.
AND CUTER.
AND BRUNETTE.
AND SEX OBSESSED.
AND JUST SO… fangasm
Right that’s probably the one and only time I’ll ever have a writing style like that xD BUT RIKA IS WORTHY OF IT. It’s a good thing I knew she existed before, since I’d probably be running around and jumping like a bunny on crack. Actually, who says I’m not already jumping around like a crack on bunny? xDDD
In short, she’s basically one of those Minatsuki people – a girl genius on the outside that’s famous for her inventions, but secretly loves the idea of sex and has a fetish for Gundam robot BL-doujinshi. Kodaka saves her after her room blows up, and she offers him sex in return. AND HE SAID NO TO A FREE FUCK BUDDY. dies inside Never watched B Gata H Kei have we? Then we had this scene with her shamelessly reading out a porn scene of two robots getting it on. Universe, people. Universe. Sena could learn a thing or two from her about reading porn. If you are unfamiliar with Deadman Wonderland, then think a yandere, but with sex instead of violence. That’s the closest I could come to anyway.
Okay Rika! After everyone’s watched this episode, let’s count the number of Senafags you’ve converted!
Well, I’ve read the manga and although I like Rika, I prefer Sena by far. She is too cute and I love how naive she can be sometimes.
Maria would definitely win the “most naive character” award xD I think what turned me off a little about Sena was that we’ve seen her type of character before to such detail – where a female protagonist seems perfect on the outside but is a hardcore otaku in secret, like Kirino or Nogizaka Haruka. In all cases, their reputation would crash if people find out their hobby.
That and the dodgy woman cosplaying as Sena while the Sena T-shirt she’s wearing gets animated in different places o.O
Though she’s the only character with huge boobs, so I’ll give you that =P
It seems like next week episode we are gonna see the loli fight against each other XD
Everyone in the harem is definitely starting to feel jealous ^^ Plus Kobato, since she hates the fact that Kodaka spends most of his time with his club.
