Maria-sama ga Miteru – 04: The Machinations of Yoshino

Yoshino can hold quite the grudge…

Well lelangir was busy this week and seeing as how it’s Super Bowl Sunday this weekend I might as well fly solo on this one until next time. The quest for a new soeur for Yumi and Yoshino continues with a tea party that in the end result few concrete results. Yoshino seems to be very particular while Yumi is in no shortage of aspirants. Too bad Touko was a no show. The girl who claimed either one of them will have sufficed was seen off while Yumi is clearly the favorite amongst the first years. Sadly few if any had much of a work ethic and even Sachicko was stirred to anger. The underwhelming showing of the first years was indeed lackluster, hair problems, getting autographs, and running away from washing dishes.

Cue blaxploitation music

O_o

Curse Catholicism its way too tame.

I liked how Eriko, Yuko, and Sei returned if only briefly to try and pick out who was Yoshino’s soeur. Yoshino seems to have had issues with sharing Rei, but now it will be her attention that is divided. The defeat of the Lillian team was sad, but I hardly think that it was worth crying over, there is always next year. There is little point in getting sad, but there is something to be said for getting even. It’s odd but good to see that Kanako and Touko are getting along just fine. Given how Eriko was starting to plot, it seems Yoshino has a lot to learn about manipulation. Even if Yoshino thinks that she got away this time Eriko knows better, seems that Nana-chan while the designated successor of the House Foetida there was the issue of her not being of age. Clearly Eriko has x-ray vision that can see through clothing, among other things…Nonetheless it was quite entertaining to see Yoshino desperately trying to lie her way through the ordeal, a little honesty would have gone a long way but I suppose losing to Eriko was just that undesirable. Still I fail to recall how intimate Eriko and Rei were…this omission needs to be touched upon at a later date.

Still Yoshino at least found some one to BE FRIENDLY with after Rei graduates. It was great to see Eriko back though I never got the sense that Eriko and Yoshino were ever in any serious competition. Next week we have another dayot for Yumi and Sachiko, I wonder what Touko will do form now on though, BE FRIENDLY with Kanako perhaps?

Yoshino frowns up on your shennanigans

Is Sachicko going to have to choke a bitch?

Hi.

LET”S BE FRIENDLY

The Girls are back in town, the Girls are back in town.

Looking for prey…

Eriko like pink…

Oh a “recommendation” eh?

Hello again, Yoshino.

There is no escape.

Deer in the headlights…

Oh ho…Yumi this is what we call an open invitation for a three-some. Do the right thing and make it happen.

    Menage a Troix? In my Marimite? Say it ain’t so!

    But it’s always good to imply…

    I’d rather it be realized than merely implied.

    That’s why you don’t lie to your soeur.

    Ménage à trois, Myssa. And Sachiko’s brow-beating Yumi into doing the right thing… as she herself was once made to do herself (remembering how she ended up with Yumi in the first place). Nice to see the family traditions being kept alive.

    Now, we just need to have Yoshino meet Maria+holic’s Kanako, for Great Justice. And maybe yuri.

    @Thingle
    Honesty is seems to be the best policy there…

    @Haesslich
    Maybe Yuri? Kanako would jump Yoshino and Rei the first chance she got.

    So far it seems that House Chinensis has tried to maintain a stronger continuity between its heirs. I am sure Sachicko is enjoying herself as she encourages Yumi to find a soeur.
