Lovely Complex 14: Maity Rising

Some people just don’t like being in a one sided relationship…

It was rather surprising that they changed the OP and ED for the series. Then again many series these days are rather short and hardly warrant such a change. At any rate Last we left off Risa was mauling Otani A-chan for stealing her first kissu. With that Risa’s tenuous grasp on sanity slipped and she slunk back into her room broken, humiliated, and despondent. Only one thing left to do now they say…

Good morning. That’s a lot of flowers you got there. I like flowers.

So Risa drowns her sorrow with renai games much to the horror of her family. She starts the new semester scaring the living daylights out of Nobu-chan and nearly makes A-chan wet his pants. It seems that they will be one happy group yet again. Risa, Nobu-chan, and Chiharu-chan go off leaving A-chan behind. Maity sensei ambushes Risa from behind remarking that her cute face should not be marred by a scowl. Apparently Maity sensei can really turn on the charm and most of the female student population seems to agree. Except Nobu-chan who seems to dread him. Risa however latches on tightly as Maity is the spitting image of her Cain from her renai games.

While Risa is in fangirl mode A-chan becomes horrified that Risa has indeed gone mad and has started creating imaginary foreign lovers. Nobu-chan reassures him that Risa is mere being a fangirl for some one who looks like Risa’s top pick in her latest renai game. So Maity introduces himself to the class as the new assistant English teacher to much fanfare and adoration. Risa immediately volunteers to be class rep and volunteers A-chan as well. After class Nobu-chan confronts Risa about giving up A-chan. Risa responds that Maity is just a save haven for her wounded shoujo heart after being beaten around by Hurricane A-chan. She laments that it would be simpler for her to simply love Maity, but such is not the case. Nobu-chan swears that she will never allow Risa to date such a disgusting man.

Risa-chan do you like your birthday present?…Where is my DS Lite?

A-chan and Risa later go home, but in the middle of it A-chan gives Risa an Umibozu sport towel. Risa reluctantly accepts, but this is hardly going to make up for things. Back in class Maity is teaching while the female students are fawning over him. The guys on the other hand are insanely jealous of Maity, Nobu-chan is simply disgusted with the Maity revolution. Maity calls on A-chan to answer a question, but he is sound asleep. Nobu-chan tries to wake him to no avail so Maity simply whispers and blows into his ear. A-chan snaps up and screams, every other girl in class however attempt to go to sleep ion the hopes for similar treatment.

Risa is charged with creating the duty roster while A-chan slips away because he is team captain. Risa looks on from the outside and remembers why she liked A-chan in the first place. She gets cracking on the duty roster until A-chan recalls that he was leaning in to…pick a piece of rice out of Risa’s hair before blacking out. Risa becomes distraught lifts the chibi man off his feet and gives him a big old kissu. She then declares that nothing will change if she keeps chasing him like this and resolves to give up on A-chan. Risa then bolts from the classroom in tears.

Being a high school teacher is the best job in the world. Lots of girls going gaga and the boys are actually looking forward to calculus for once.

Impression: The new OP and ED were nice and it seems that there may even be a few more introductions for new characters. Well Maity sure is mighty to take over the school in such short order. I like Risa now since she is a fellow gamer, but am most disappointed that she still hasn’t moved on to the Wii.

A-chan is so cute. Wake up sleepy head. Did you enjoy last night?

A-chan continues to disappoint and string Risa along. Now that Maity the Mighty has come to town and Risa gave him a declaration of surrender for any future relationship A-chan needs to get off the electric fence. As a side note Risa was looking most darling when she went psycho. Her lifting off A-chan for a kiss was an epic maneuver if I say so myself, a great way to give a show of strength.I personally hope the the second half of the series can be more over the top funny now that nearly bare chested Maity has shown up hopefully that other crazy girl shows up and what I assume is another Umibozu fanboy. I wonder what is going to happen to Haruka since Seiko-chan seems to have found a boyfriend in the OP.

    at the last set of screencaps you said - least night? instead of ‘last night?’ …hehe

    Oh my god, Risa is so awe-worthy; the screen cap with her going berserk mode looked so freaking high-larious(and positively frightening). Though, I wish I could have seen a screen cap of the girls pretending to be asleep. That would have been so sweet! But seeing A-chan’s expression made up for that. I’m probably going to use it as my wall paper.

    But seriously, I’m about to beat up A-chan (the A could stand for A**hole); he shouldn’t be screwing around with Risa’s heart. I wish Risa could get over him but the whole plot is centered around setting them up together. Dang it. Some people might disagree but I think Haruka would be better because he’s not a complete chode (look it up in urbandictionary.com) with Risa and I always root for the under dog (not the one shorter than the dog; god, I hate A-chan).

    Hmmm, maybe we could convince her to play the Wii with the right type of game.

    Such as ‘Operation smash some f****** sense into A-chan.’

    You will use the wii remote as a bat, gun, sword, nunchuks, and many other weapons through various levels where your main aim will be to beat the s*** out of A-chan in the hope of knocking some sense into the empty space called his head.

    There are also some nice bonus mini-games. In these you can take the form of Haruka or Maity or various other bishies and perform various sweet tasks for Risa to show baka A-chan how it should be done.

    The happier you make Risa, the more upset A-chan gets (shown by a nice energy bar in the top right of the screen. Once this reaches critical A-chan will explode)

    Yes, I think if we could get this out on the market we could definitely get Risa playing the Wii in no time.

    Once again this episode served to show just how great Risa is and just how frustratingly, moronic and clueless A-chan can be.

    I really like how while they show Risa swooning over Maity, she really isn’t into him at all. Its all just a front, hiding her true feelings for the pea-brained, vertically challenged little twit that is A-chan.

    Hopefully next week we’ll be up to the part where he starts getting a clue.
