Summary It’s the first day of school for a new semester and Kusuda enters the classroom happy to announce that there were many big breasted freshmen. Kei, as usual, argues with Kusuda and insults him with the usual “kappa-face” name. The word “kappa” attracts Fudounomiya Sumire, the head of the drama club, who is looking for someone to play the kappa part in her play. She tries various ploys such as sex appeal and cucumbers to try to swap Kusuda into playing the part. Kei does not want Kusuda to join and repeatedly urges kusuda to ignore her.
Meanwhile, Megumi is still concerned about her breasts being too big when her old rival,Kyuuma Nanoka, arrives to challenge her to a swimming match. Megumi loses the match and falls into a state of depression. She then meets with Kei and they have a discussion about self confidence and breasts(wtf?). Megumi races Takei senpai but loses. Takei asks why did she quit though she is frustrated when losing. Megumi reveals to Takei that she is embarrassed that her breasts are too big. Takei tells her that he likes big breasts and so, Megumi is happy(wtf?).
Kusuda has declined Sumire’s offer for the part in the play and Kei is relieved. Kusuda is asked to deliver a love letter to Kei for one of his classmate’s. He reluctantly gives her the letter and they end up arguing yet again. Kusuda is now depressed so Sumire offers to listen to him and so he accepts. Kei sees this and picks yet another fight with Kusuda. Kusuda finally snaps and shouts at Kei.

I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that the production team did a horrible job with the choice and timing of the music. The scene where Megumi races Kyu-chan should have played music that would suite a competition, but instead we heard “Hajukeru limited tomaranai omoi…”(huh?). Don’t get me wrong I love the song but it didn’t go well with a racing scene that she would eventually lose because the song is simply too uplifting. The last scene in particular annoyed me. It was a great scene where Kusuda finally let out his frustration but unfortunately, the outlet was Kei. You could feel your heart sink as he shouted at her and the depression that would soon follow… but then suddenly…… “Hajikeru Limited! Tomaranai Omoi!” ….T_T. Same song, same problem. It’s like singing Merry Christmas in a funeral mouuu. One other thing that bothered me was that they were making Kei’s feelings way too obvious but all the while, Kusuda did nothing about it. I suppose you could say that he lacks confidence but that “tsudere” attitude was way too conspicuous in my opinion.
Despite my rantings, there is hope, good news! As I said I didn’t like how Kei’s feelings were way too conspicuous. Although they were conspicuous, it made Kusuda’s confusion toward Kei’s feelings much more prominent. It was way too obvious in everyone’s eyes that Kei liked Kusuda but then she would completely deny it and insult Kusuda to top it off. This made Kusuda’s line “leading me on, you’re the type of person I hate the most” make way more sense in the anime than it did in the manga, which would be a first :D Linking the two stories together using the common theme “breasts” didn’t really appease my disheartened soul, but at least they linked them both together somehow right?
So animation wise, I was a bit disappointed in the quality drawings, or rather the lack of. The episode mostly showed faraway shots of the characters as they were poorly drawn. The only good quality scenes I saw were in the pool. I won’t, however, let this get me down because the art in this show is still way more than other shows. I just hope I get some more leverage in the drawing department in my favorite arc, which is coming up next yeah!
