Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge Episode 3

Moe + Gothic + Traditional kimono + Sunako = Win

Sunako is now part of the glittering group. What if she sees herself in the mirror, will she nosebleed at herself and be the alternative basilisk or medusa? Instead of stoning herself, she would nosebleed and petrify altogether in a flowing motion.

Oh well, being so low self esteem makes her blind to her own beauty. I am seriously thinking that if she thinks she is ugly after looking at herself. I bet she never bothered to look at her own reflection when she turns all pretty. I think she will be scared of what she sees if she does. Hohohoh~ In essence, this episode is about Sunako being a lady, having a party to go to and causing mayhem eventually.

Anyway, just a brief summary and all that jazz.

Episode summary

We have Sunako cursing and wishing Kyouhei to be dead after the incident on the bed where she felt that she was going to die if Kyouhei was going to be around. Two burly men then came over to recruit Kyouhei to be a male host and tried to tempt him with lots of money but was rejected as they left. Sunako continued to wish for Kyouhei’s death as she thought of how to kill him while preparing dinner, either to poison him or stab him with a knife.

The fireworks came in the sky, as the aunt dropped in to ask for Sunako and told them that she would have a party on Sunday (5 days time) to celebrate Sunako being a virtuous lady. Sunako was actually cooking as the aunt left once again with a rocket up her helicopter to find her next love. At least for one, the aunt had not seen Sunako yet.

They then decided to make Sunako a lady but she refused to do it. Takenaga then used a extremely explicit and bloody video to tempt Sunako but they failed miserably to make her a graceful lady. Sunako wanted to leave but Kyouhei held on to her, before she said that they were all beautiful people and they did not understand. Kyouhei, in a moment of spite, said that she should not do anything and she’s the ugliest of the ugliest.

Sunako then dropped the book that chronicled the plan to kill Kyouhei as the three bishies turned white. Sunako then locked herself in the room for 3 days as the three guys opened the door. They saw her lying on the ground completely close to death as they forced Kyouhei to apologise as they locked him up with Sunako.

He then forced her to eat by threatening to kill her doll. After that, he said he would not apologise but he said that whoever called her ugly was just one guy and there were other guys who would feel differently. Sunako started to nosebleed as he went out and she swore to kill him because she would die soon if she did not kill him as she grabbed ropes to Kyouhei’s room. However, Kyouhei was ready for her as he was in a bathrobe and exposed her plan to kill him. After pressing himself close to Sunako, she turned into stone. However, the men earlier then captured Kyouhei and Sunako wanted to go immediately when she woke up as Kyouhei was her prey. Everyone realized what happened as they dressed up Sunako beautifully in a kimono to get into the “adult’s club” and they cross-dressed as well.

The crazy fangirls of the four bishies were also there at the scene but were rejected as they did not look “exceptional”. As they entered the room, everyone were saying how pretty they were and Sunako was acting like a fair lady, impressing the people over there with her graceful talk. Eventually, the lights dimmed as the host showed an unconscious Kyouhei waiting to be auctioned off. Sunako charged up as she kicked the host and removed her kimono to show a military uniform. She then took up her chainsaw and started some giant mayhem as they rescued Kyouhei away. As they ran off to a playground, Sunako started her death chant but Kyouhei simply gave her a kiss and told her thank you. She “died”.

The aunt then came back to realize what Sunako was as the host was in fact her “love” for that evening. She then said she would overlook it and the party was cancelled. However, she would want to see Sunako as a true lady by the time she came back next. Then, Sunako held a rose as they thought that she was finally aware of her good looks. She then turned the rose black as she continued to be her scary self.

Thoughts

I really wonder if she will ever be a perfect lady. Will be interesting to find out and I really like the crazy interactions between Kyouhei and Sunako. It is just super amusing whenever the two came as Sunako’s over reaction always make me laugh.

Other than that, there is nothing really much I like to mention. The graphical quality for this episode dipped quite a bit at the front part of the episode and got slightly better at the end. I hope they do not slack too much on the graphical side as they are always on the low scale and having it go down even more will hurt this show. I really like the slapstick humor and it doesn’t seem to run dry yet.

I still am a bit disappointed that the other three bishies are not fleshed out effectively in their character. Out of the four of them, Kyouhei is perhaps the one with the most distinctive character due to his interactions with Sunako. The other three just seemed to be completely similiar in character, except Takenaga who is a bit more mature. That did not say much still about the three and I hope that the remaining episodes at least give them more chances to develop their characters.

Why did they stay together? that question is also not answered. I mean, it does not look particularly like a hostel so why are they staying together, even if they are paying for the rent. Maybe I should not think so deeply about it but just curious. Anyway, nice episode nevertheless that gave me a good amount of laughter.

Next please!
