I actually watched this episode when it came out, but I didn't have the time to blog about it at the time. I'll try to stick to the main part of the episode and not any side conversations. So here we go~
In this episode, a new transfer student (that was seen at the end of the previous episode) appears named Harajuku Tomoko (played by Tsugunaga Momoko, the member who is known to have a burikko character from the group Berryz Koubou), who has a very frilly school uniform. She has her own footstep sound effects and she does Momoko's famous "Yurishite nyan~" move.
Tomoko: Yurushite nyan~ |
She does this because she is "apologizing" that she is now the most beautiful and cutest girl in class, which gets Sayuri upset. She continues to say that she is a genius, despite coming from a normal high school, all while in her over-the-top cute voice and mannerisms. Kazuki notices that the way Tomoko acts and says things is just like Sayuri and comes to the conclusion that Tomoko is Sayuri's shorter double. ^_^" He then notices how pissed Sayuri is and freaks out and so does everyone else with Mami going "jiken yo".
Sayuri: A rival? Pshh. |
Mami: Jiken yo! |
Tomoko pushes it to the max trying to get everyone to call her "Tomochi" like little puppies. She then says that she's "kawaii nyan~". Sayuri is just growling at her like a lion on the inside. The atmosphere is tense.
