Hentai Ouji To Warawanai Neko Weekly Update – Episode 8

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!

Hentai Ouji To Warawanai Neko Weekly Update – Episode 5

This is probably the funniest episode of this show so far. I laughed so much and I think I died a couple of times because of the excessive cuteness. HNNNNNG~

After discovering that his house is gone, Youto asks Tsukiko for help. Surprisingly, she comes even though she has been cold to him lately. Tsukiko doubts him at first so Youto tells her that he won’t lie to her just because he wants to see her. That causes the whole “worthless” scene, which is so funny. Being emotionless helps Tsukiko to be an effective form of comedic relief. We can tell that she’s pissed by what Youto said but her face and tone shows none of it.

Tsukiko invites him to spend the night at her house. Youto takes the bath first and waits for a girl to walk into him. He hears Tsukiko and Tsukushi arguing outside the bath so he rushes to take a look. That’s when hilarity breaks out. The two see him naked and, because he lost his sense of shame, he keeps on swinging it in front of them (not intentional). That gains him a lot of beatings from Tsukushi while he is wrapped around a blanket.  That’s one of the funniest scenes in episodes and words don’t do it justice.

Tsukushi falls asleep on top of Youto. He hears her talk in her sleep while her boobs are pressing on his back. I don’t know but Youto’s personality doesn’t change that much. Having his shame gone is like having his facade gone. I’m surprised that he didn’t make a move on her given that he’s a self-proclaimed pervert. Youto x Tsukushi will be awesome.

Meanwhile, Azuki Azusa is at Okinawa with the two girls who bullied her in her previous school. Youto sets them up so that they can relive what they lost before. Azuki is so cute in her swimsuit.

Youto tries to call Azusa but he can’t reach her so he walks back to his room. He sees that the light from the bath is open so he checks it out. There he sees a naked Tsukiko. That’s the second time he sees her in her birthday suit. Lucky bastard! However, Tsukushi catches him and tries to beat him but before she can do it, Youto flees. While he’s trying to find a place to hide, he sees a storage room. There he finds all of his belongings and the large cat statue.

Youto still sees Tsukiko as his little sister and he’s locking Azusa in the friend zone. I wonder when will he realize the feelings of those two. Right now, let’s go to the ugly.

Though it is the funniest episode, it is also the corniest. There’s a lot of cringe worthy scenes, which prevents this episode from being perfect. The whole crying and talking while asleep is so cheesy. Apparently, Tsukushi doesn’t want Tsukiko to leave her behind like some people did (maybe their parents). I think they have or had a brother, because of the jacket. Though I find her sentimental side cute, I think it’s quite a weird way to develop her as a character.

Also, the Azuki Azusa scenes are quite distracting to the flow of this episode. I don’t know, maybe that’s just me. I can feel the uncomfortable atmosphere that must be there. Really? She’s left together with the two girls who bullied her and she’s COOL with it? Yeah, the whole Hokkaido issue was just a misunderstanding and Azusa has already forgiven them but their interactions with each other feel forced.

All in all, it’s a good episode. It’s fanservice’y in my opinion and that’s all we need, right? There’s a mystery regarding what happened to Youto’s house and why are his belongings and the cat statue in Tsukiko’s residence. Maybe he accidentally wished for them to be siblings and the cat statue transferred his house so that they can be together. Anyway, let’s look forward on what will happen next week.

Hentai Ouji To Warawanai Neko Weekly Update – Episode 4

A sister’s love knows no boundaries (?)

This episode started off on a serious not but it’s not too long before the hilarity breaks out. Like Maou-sama, Henneko did a really good job in incorporating humour in the supposedly dramatic moments of this episode.

Last week, Tsukiko claims that she’s not on good terms with her sister because Tsukushi hates her. She believes that her childishness is the reason for this. Ever since their parents died, she clung too much to her sister and became too dependent on her. After she graduated from Junior High, Tsukushi has been avoiding her. In order for them to be on good terms again, she wished to the cat statue to be more adult-like thus resulting in her being expressionless.

When Youto brings Tsukiko home, Tsukushi confronts him about her sister. All throughout this episode, she believes that Youto has a twin brother and that he’s the one together with her sister, which seemed ridiculous. She’s not so smart eh? Youto takes this chance to ask why she’s acting like that. She tells him that she wants to cut her sisterly bonds with Tsukiko because she wants to do whatever she likes. It’s a little bit reasonable right? However…

With Azusa’s help, he looks for what Tsukushi’s going to do after she graduates from high school. They discover that she’s going to study in Massachusetts, eventually leaving her little sister behind. He confronts Tsukushi and discovers that she has a sister complex. From that point onwards, her personality takes 180 degrees.

So the REAL reason for her having fights with Tsukiko is the so-called Wedding Blues. Apparently, she wants to marry her little sister to fulfil their promise of being together forever. I didn’t expect something like this to happen and it seems really stupid but oh well. She heard that Massachusetts allows same sex marriage, but her dreams are crushed when she discovers that incest is not allowed.

This is literally my reaction

The cat statue gives back Tsukiko’s expressions but she chooses to give it to her sister. She thinks that her sister is often misunderstood. With her expressions, Tsukushi can show her feelings properly. She did that because she doesn’t want her childishness to become a problem again and she doesn’t want to cut the ties that bind her and Youto together.

Now, I feel too bad for Azuki Azusa. She was friend zoned by Youto although she has feelings for him. I mean, they look so good together right? Anyway, that’s not what’s so bad about Youto. During her confrontation with Tsukushi, he declares that he loves Tsukiko… as an IMOUTO! Yes, and Tsukiko hears him loud and clear. We all know that she loves him so much to a point that she’ll give up her expressions for them to be together. She even tells him that she’d rather bring Armageddon than to have Youto as her brother. As I’ve said in my previous post, Youto is that clichéd oblivious guy and now he’ll have to face the problems regarding his true feelings for Azuki and Tsukiko. But maybe not next week. He’s facing a much more dire problem – his house vanished! Let’s see where he is going to stay.

Overall, it’s a really great and funny episode though there are some weird developments. I wouldn’t say that it’s the best episode yet but it doesn’t disappoint with my expectations. The jokes and reactions are totally spot on! And I can’t ask for more when we are given this kind of fan service 😉

Hentai Ouji To Warawanai Neko Weekly Update – Episode 3

This episode is divided into two parts – the ending of the Azuki Azusa arc and the beginning of  Tsukiko arc. Both are good and cute in their own way.

Yokodera Youto finally resolves the issue between him and Azuki Azusa and manages to get his facade back from her. At first, Azusa doesn’t want to hear him out because she thinks that, together with Tsukiko, he plotted their date so that she’ll meet her former classmates. The problem with her is that, she easily misunderstands things and jumps to conclusions right away.

When Youto confronts the girls who teased Azuki in the arcade, he learns that no one bullied her, they just wanted to tease her a bit to see her reactions. Er- well, you can call it bullying. Anyway, back in her old school, during their class trip she went to Hokkaido alone thinking that that was their destination. However, the class went to Okinawa. She frequently skipped her classes, so the girls thought that if  they lied to her, knowing that she wanted to go to Hokkaido, she could be tricked into going on the class trip. They were shocked that she flew there alone, waiting for them. Next thing they knew, she transferred schools. Yeah, it really was the girls’ fault for not telling her directly about it. However, their intentions were not malicious. But becuase of this she became distrustful of others.

Youto kidnaps Azusa from her apartment so that they can talk. I just like to note that her mother did NOTHING to stop him and she even called a taxi for them to escape. What a supportive mother. He manages to convince her to give up her facade and act naturally. In that way, people will like her more, including him. That causes a little misunderstanding in Azusa’s part but was eventually cleared when Youto strongly turns her down in terms of romance. Really? He’s so honest that he even goes as far as saying she doesn’t make his heart go “doki-doki”. However, Azusa won’t give up easily, right? They went to the stone statue and he explained everything about it. I’m surprised that she accepted and believed everything so readily. Well, at least it ended well.

The second half shows that Tsukiko and Youto met in the past. Back then, Tsukiko wore a mask to conceal her emotions from the children in kindergarten. She told Youto about her dream of becoming a kindergarten teacher but it’s difficult for her because she gets angry and cries easily. They met twice and during their last conversation, she told him that she will be studying at his school and that he should remember her. The use of flashback in this part was done pretty well without disrupting the smooth flow of the story. We’ll get to know more about her next episode.

For me, some scenes feel a little bit off and forced. Like when Youto lists down all of Azusa’s characteristics as if he’d known her for years. I mean, they just knew each other for a short period of time and the way he told her that felt so cheesy.

Also, let’s go back to episode 1, Tsukiko freaked out when she saw Youto at the stone statue. But it was revealed that she had met him in the past. Her actions back then are a little inconsistent because she should’ve been familiar with his face. They met months ago if I’m not mistaken. She considers him a precious friend so it would be a little bit impossible to forget him completely. I understand Youto, because when he met her, she wore a mask.

Anyway, that’s just a little bit nitpicking on my part.

When Youto says that he knew that Azusa tosses and turns in her sleep is just plain ugly. I mean, really? That’s so C-R-E-E-P-Y.

A pretty decent episode although it could’ve been written better. Hopefully, we’ll get to know about Tsukiko’s issues with her sister next week and I’m excited to see her in action again.
