Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge Episode 2
Sunako is a queen. Hear that from me. She will be the cover model of the best female character in this fall season. *nod nod*
Man, people who hate this anime must have something really great on their hands. If the anime is a disgrace for the manga, I am so begging Joo to buy the darn manga when it ends. Seriously, I mean i found this “lame attempt” from a manga conversion to be totally and completely awesome in its slapstick treatment. The amount of laughs in this show is great and it is tough to really understand the hate for this series.
Read on!

Episode summary
We have the bishies trying to get Sunako to improve herself for school tomorrow, but she was reluctant to do so. The bishies tried to figure out why she was so reluctant and one of the bishies then threatened to throw one of her life size figurines down. Sunako then said that it was because someone said that she was ugly and had rejected her. She also mentioned that she was in fact normal before and chased them out.
As she went to bathe, she realized that one of the bishies was inside and noticed her. She then dropped all her rubber ducklings and realized that she had shown her body to someone who glitters and started to bleed. The poor bishie had to rush out of the bath and seemed to have a slight cold. The next day, Sunako went along with the four bishies to school, with everyone thinking why she was following them.
Another bishoujo appeared to the scene and Sunako was nosebleeding and commenting about the interaction between glittering people. As she reached the class, everyone started to get interested how she looked like, as she was chased around. Eventually, she found herself in the storeroom, where she met the crazy fangirls and the Ganjuro girls. The Ganjuro girls then said that she covered her face because she was trying to lure others.
She was shocked but one of the bishies came in and saved her. However, one of the Ganjuro girls scratched him accidently as Sunako went on berserk mode and thrashed the hell out of them. She also cut off the bangs on her hair to reveal her face, being totally cool about it. The bishie seemed to fall sick as Sunako was asked to bring him home. The ganjuro girls also knew that Sunako was staying with them now. As the bishie gave all sorts of unreasonable requests with strawberries, she ran off and met the pretty girl. Sunako then noted that it was easy for the pretty girl to say nice things because she was pretty. The pretty girl said it was stupid of her and Sunako had no right to criticize her if she never made any effort to improve.
As Sunako went into the house, the bishies told her that it was possible for her to improve and showed a picture of the pretty girl in secondary school and the girl was very ugly. She left in a moment of shock and we realized that the picture was not of the pretty girl. Eventually, she went back to nursing the sick bishie who was still glittering in sickness. She finally lost her cool as she took out her death reaper, trying to kill him.

Thoughts
Why Sunako rocks
1. She’s goth
2. She’s pretty if she bothers
3. She’s all morbid with her style
4. She’s funny with her chibi version
5. She has low self esteem. Low self esteem = moe~
So yea, the conclusion is that she rocks and she is the star. Actually, it is pretty obvious that she is the star for me since she is the only name I can remember from the whole show. I mean, other than appearances, most of the bishies seemed to be the same for me and they are there simply as a collective amusement. Maybe when they are more clear with their distinctions, I can give them their proper names. For now, they are simply known as bishies.
Nod nod.
Anyway, this episode is slightly less on laughs, even though the ending saved it with hilarious craziness with Sunako turning into the cynical chibi mode. I really like Sunako because she is so morbid and so reluctant to even see her own face until it becomes silly. Many of her morbid ideas as well as the Sadako parodies when she was in the POWER RANGERS mode….Ermm, I mean when she kicked the ass out of those dark skinned girls was simply a classic. I laughed when she owned those girls with her crazy fighting. Man, low self esteem is so moeeee~
Slapstick humor rocks. It is making me really enjoy this show a lot. Even the strange bishie character design works for me. So long for episode 3!

mmm looks good – cant wait to see it
it’s good slapstick fun. EVeryone should watch it and leave their brains somewhere decent to bake. THIS SERIES IS LOL! ^+^
This doesn’t look like my kind of slapstick. My kind is 2×2 = Shinobuden
The guys are not that hard to recognize. Here are some general rules to distinguish those four apart. I am going by C1 subbed names here because those would be the romanizations most English watchers would know.
Ranmaru is the guy with red hair.
Takenaga is the guy with black hair.
Yukinojou is the shorter one, with short banks, and flat blond hair.
Kyouhei is the other blond guy, his hair is more spiky.
As a general rule of thumb, if you see Sunako gets into some compromising position with one of the guys, chances are that guy is Kyouhei.
I finished reading 15 books of the manga in 2 days. It’s quite good. I just wished they have redesigned the characters for animation, it’s just such a shame to see people refusing to watch this because the guys look like transexuals (which is true, I have to admit).
Heh. I like how she tries to kill Kyouhei with a scythe instead of a pair of scissors.
hahahahaha, I also agree on the transexuals. In fact, Ori, i am just being mean because I REMEMBER ALL THE NAMES, but because they are probably much well ugly, i try not to.
Sorry for being mean but It’s my blog and i love making my views. And yes, a scythe works for her morbid-ness. Yes, kyouhei seems to be suffering from that effect and he’s a good opposite with Sunako.
Btw, is the manga all over? or ?
The manga’s still going on; loads of hilarious events based on each of the bishies character ensues gradually, including sunako’s aunt.
arrrrr. man, this show works ^+^
Does anybody know the songtitle of the ‘Heavenly Chorus’ that plays as the BGM when Sunako is unbuttoning the blonde guy? It’s used quite often in this series, and it is very familiar. It even got used as a BGM in H&C2.
Well… I still wish the other guys looked as hot as Kyohei. They all looked hotter in the manga. D:
Anyways, the manga is totally awesome. You seriously need to buy it.
i’m totally agree with ama
i havnt watch the anime yet bcos there were only manga in my country
but it,s enaough for me to see those pictures
and they are dissapointing
those bishounen DOES look much more hot n shining in the manga
i thing the mangaka’s vision is not delivered
I love this anime, I’ve also heard that the manga is supposed to be way better.. but I’ve yet to read it.. Bah!! How can any manga be that much better than such an awesome anime?
T_T I’m waiting for someone to sub Ep 20
those four guys(kyouhei,takenaga,yuki,ranmaru) were cute though…but sometimes,,or I may say Most of the times they look like gays,,I love the beauty of sunako-chan,,I hate it when other people underestimates her beauty,,..Kyouhei also pretends that he doesn’t have feelings for sunako-chan but he is the one who always encourages and save her when she’s in trouble..ANd her nose bleeds always ruin the romantic atmosphere,,but she is so cute in chibi and extremely beautiful and unique when she is in her lady looks.
this mangga rocks!!! i’ve watch its epesode every weekends, since its the only time i’m free. it rocks that i can’t help laughing until the show ends. i have watched their episode for almost 32 weeks now and i still can’t get them out of my head.. jejeje
guys watch it at TV5, it will surely make you laugh!!! LOL!! pare!!
