After a great episode last week, Henneko takes a step back as it introduces a new character alongside the troubles she brings to our main casts.
A super cute, pink haired girl named Emanuella Pollarola enters the casts and brings with her a small version of the cat statue. Last week, I assumed that she’s the new version of Azuki Azusa since she wished to change herself. But I was proven wrong. Anyway, the very first time I saw her I already felt like she’d only bring trouble to the beautiful start of Youto and Tsukiko’s “closer” relationship. Tsukiko feels the same way towards her as she becomes a new rival towards Youto’s muffled attention.
I would love to study in here
She’s been able to wish for anything at her own convenience from cat statue. The first was to establish her existence as Ponta’s little sister. The second one made Youto a cool prince in the eyes of the whole student body. The third was an Italian inspired school and to change the school’s uniform into swimsuits. It seems like she’s been longing for a “crazy fun” high school life for a long time and Youto’s definition of enjoyment perfectly suits her tastes.
Emi’s identity and motives are still a mystery for all of us. However, we are hinted that she’s somewhat related to Azuki’s wish because she immediately runs off the moment she sees her.
Speaking of Azuki’s wish, I wonder what really happened. She’s been stalking Youto a lot lately and makes the greatest effort to avoid him. Anyway, it seems like she’s the only one who’s not affected by Emi’s wishes.
The plot is becoming more confusing with all the wish-granting and it’s adding up to the mystery of the show. Trying to figure out who wished what or something like that.
Of course as a viewer, we have the advantage to know who the real culprit is. But let’s try to put ourselves in our characters’ shoes. Youto doesn’t remember Emi having the wish. Tsukiko blames Youto about the matter because he’s the one benefiting the most. Tsukushi somehow blames herself because she once wanted to go to Italy.
Let’s not forget Tsukiko’s emotionless “GRRR” and “Kyaaah”
Anyway , I’m quite confused by Youto and Tsukiko’s relationship. They’ve been flirting with one another. I don’t know but they’re like a couple but they aren’t. Unfortunately, Tsukiko doesn’t believe Youto this time. She doesn’t trust him about this whole Swimsuit Instrumentality Project.
Of all the people, Tsukiko’s the one I expected to believe in him but instead, it’s Tsukushi who helps Youto. Plus points to her! She is just so funny and I’m loving her more and more as the show goes on. I mean, she’s so stupid and I never get tired of her Youto’s Little Brother Thingy. All of her angst from the first episode is gone and replaced by a hell of a lot of cuteness. Oh, the vice captain deserves some mention as well. Her strong personality and unique vocabulary never ceases to amuse me. I believe that she deserves more screen time.
Henneko is just so adorable. The eye candy visuals are noteworthy, kudos to JC Staff, and the script is just so funny. Although the plot is becoming a little bit convoluted, I have faith that this show will handle things well. Until next week!
