Mahoraba 6

So they're off to Tamami and Kozue's school to get something she forgot. It's a girls' school, which gets Shiratori a bit excited. And while he's imagining what it's like Tamami calls him ecchi loudly enough to get people around to notice ;) And after that she hugs him and starts looking over him for some reason... she nails his height and weight after getting done. She then asks if he's going out with anyone. He says no, and she says "that's good".

They finally make their way to the school and Shiratori takes a look around -- he calls it his 初潜入 into a girls' school. He tells Tamami he actually went to a boys' school himself. So could he be...? ;)

Everything's going as usual back at Narutakisou, but Shiratori's having problems, [4-koma Mode]being asked to carry heavy stuff, about to be attacked by the rhythmic gymnastics team, etc.[End 4-koma Mode] Next they see some members of the archery team who ask who Shiratori is. Tamami says that he's a hentai she caught red-handed messing around in the changing room ;) After almost getting shot he asks Tamami if she's in any clubs. She's in the occult club.. How fitting for her ;) Then a strange-looking girl shows up... she's the president of the occult club -- just call her 部長 -- and she's not happy that Tamami hasn't shown up. But with Tamami's sharp insults -- she calls Buchou a 因循姑息サタンマニア, roughly "dilly-dallying Satan maniac" and a 顔面蒼白オタクゾンビ, something like "pale-faced otaku zombie" -- they get away. While Buchou stands there going ゾクゾク, asking for more punishment from Tamami ;)

And what did Tamami forget there? Bansai -- she says she found the principal's bansai garden and he gave it to her. It's a little bit heavy so -- she whips out another picture -- she'll need some help from Shiratori ;)

After finally getting home Shiratori gets in the bath to relax after a tiring day, talking to himself. Tamami can hear him on the other side of the wall, though. She says he seems to be the type that always gets dragged into things whether he likes it or not. She asks if he ever wants to run away from, like he seemed to want to earlier, or move to a different place. But he says no -- it hasn't been all bad for him there :)

After the bath, Tamami and Shiratori talk outside. To Tamami, Kozue's a very precious friend. Kozue's seemed happier after Shiratori moved in, so seeing Kozue happy makes her happy (that sounds very familiar..). So she asks Shiratori to get along with her well... whipping out some pictures ;) Kozue comes out asking how the bath was, and Tamami says Shiratori seems to be fine, then tells her about what happened, afterwards hugging her. "How beautiful friendship is!", says Johnny :)

And the results on Shiratori? He passed.. for now ;) It's a pretty big thing to be approved of by Tamami-chan. So it's party time in Shiratori's room again! As Shiratori gets up to run after Johnny and Momono he knocks over Tamami's bonsai... Tamami catches it with one hand. Then starts throwing it from hand to hand...

Tamami's pretty awesome, ain't she? Buchou's an interesting character as well. Poor Shiratori just can't get a break, can he? Well, if he had done his homework he wouldn't have had to go through Shirogane-sensei's punishment again. Whatever it is she does to him, it sounds pretty dang scary ;)

Tamami as an "Evil Tomoyo" is a pretty good comparison, I think. Besides always having a camera ready to take pictures of everything, she likes Kozue.. As seen by the large number of Kozue pictures she has. But more importantly, when Kozue's happy she's happy, too. I'm with Johnny :)

Next time is かくれんぼ, combing a few chapters from what I've read. Someone you haven't seen for a few episodes should be making an appearance, I think ;)
