    at first i thought Kanejou was going to be just another boring character, but it's pretty funny how her and Yamada are such good contrasts.

    Two girls who are confident, beautiful, competetive and ruthless, both with sexually deviant goals that they immerse themselves in realizing while trying to maintain a respected position of adoration amongst their peers. Both have no parents and exactly one female confidant, who try to dissuade the girls from their deviant paths, but ultimately support them in their quests.

    And that's the only thing they have in common.

    Yamada is trying to "master" one guy so she can boink everybody in the world. Kanejou is trying to "master" everybody in the world so she can boink one guy.

    Yamada is poor, crass, cold, a bit of a dolt in social situations and all around awful at (almost) everything her peers care about. Kanejou is rich, elegant, warm, courtesan and the absolute best at everything that her peers care about.

    well, i think it's pretty cool. but since the main characters are Yamada and Kosuda, it's not like it's ever going to get further than the premise it is.

    i also thought coalguys went way overboard with their attempts to make the translations stylized and humorous. UTW, on the other hand, has some very stiff translating style, and I don't like that either, especially when it's just a silly comedy...

    basically, i don't mind when coalguys takes liberties and localizes their subs, so long as they're actually funny...

    Maybe it's just me, but that was kinda painful to watch. The whole episode was so boring.

    I thought it was slightly heart-wrenching at times, especially when Kosuda felt really when he thought Yamada was on a different level to him.

    Then, when he finally had the guts to confess, she kept running away, he must have felt pretty shit.

    I thought the conclusion was really sad with Yamada only running away after Kosuda finally gathered his guts to confess. But looking at the next episode preview, it might turn out to be a good thing. After all, it's above all Kosuda's lack of courage and boldness that has kept Yamada from her dream as well. It's true she mostly draws back after the first ecchi thing has happened but if Kosuda was bolder, he could just take her and I doubt she would complain afterwards.

    wasn't so big on this episode. Yamada is a real bitch for running away. of course the guy is going to feel like shit if that's how she acts right after he confesses to her...

    this show is feeling quite drawn out now...

    I wonder if all the pics Kosuda took feature Yamada... At least it wasn't shown that he would have taken other kind of photos like he should have as the official photographer.

    When he was doing a good job (to the extent that it annoyed Yamada) during the Kyoto trip, so I'm guessing he did an equally professional job here. I guess the story just isn't focusing on Kosuda's photography potential anymore. (the equipment comparison was pretty funny).

    All up it was quite a bittersweet episode - both bitter AND sweet thanks to Yamada. It's refreshing to finally see Kosuda take the lead after all these episodes. It obviously wasn't working with Yamada in the pants. I was rather surprised at her "service" though. It would be less so in private, since she's already flashed him and everything, but given her reluctance to acknowledge her relationship with him especially in public, it felt a bit out of place.

    I'll be looking forward to Kyouka making advances on Kosuda next episode, since she hasn't really done much all this time while Yamada's "boyfriend" remained a mystery to her.

    Besides our two rivals, I'm starting to like the droopy-girl in their class.

    Raw raw raw raw raw!!!

    Great episode as always. Who knew Kanejou was a closet perv like that. Good to see they made some real progress though. Even though they got interrupted

    Kosuda, you the man yo!

    Considering everything that's happened up so far, it's safe to say that guy's got balls. It's a shame Yamada says she'll take her time though. In anime-speak, that means nothing will ever happen, and this episode will likely be the closest thing to "raw" footage we'll ever get.

    I hope at the very least, the next episode will end this series with a kiss and knowledge of Yamada's given name.

    It's really funny it was translated as "raw". I think the closest translation is "live" as in seeing it live as opposed to looking at a screen, but "raw" is a million times funnier. Kudos to the translators. It gave me a stomach ache though.

    That was some reversal from Yamada, but on the other hand she always turned so embarrassed and stressed when things actually started to happen that it's not really any wonder. Kosuda surprised me positively. Although it's not like he wouldn't have wanted Yamada from the beginning and the only thing previously stopping him was uncertainty of Yamada's intentions and feelings.

    censorship ruined that ep big time, but it still managed to be fun.

    I did not have much hope for that show, but eventhough the production costs are at a minimal in several areas and the subject was prone to big failure, in the end it was a nice watch. It did its job to enjoy me, laugh a bit and release some stress.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    It definitely accomplished its comedic goals, if nothing else. I thought this final episode was a lot more funnier than the previous ones.

    Ultimately, they both went further but also didn't go as far as I expected. Kosuda getting as far as finding her hole took me by surprise as I was convinced the last episode's breast fondle was the hottest we'd get, but I would have thought at least they'd end with a confession, or acknowledge each other as partners.

    In any case, a fun series with solid adult comedy. My only regret is not seeing a sexually suggestive Kyouka.

    It was an entertaining watch. I didn't really expect any more ecchiness than we got and the censoring was given considering this was still a comedy series first and foremost, despite the core idea. So, keeping that in mind, the censoring didn't actually ruin anything for me personally. Though like Bill I didn't really anticipate the scenes we did get.

    But at least those two became a solid pair, which is more than great many series ever manage.
