GIRLS Bravo second season 6
Koyomi bathes with Miharu and somehow Miharu manages to break the bathtub... The next morning they sneak out while Yukinari's still sleeping and meet up with Kirie. Tomoka (na no da!) notices it and tries to wake Yukinari up by hitting him with Ebi (poor Ebi..), but it takes a while before he finally gives in and they both go see what the girls are up to.
They follow them to the site of the Tokyo Game Carnival but lose track of them in the busy crowds of game-loving otaku onii-sans. Tomoka thinks she spots Poyon-chan -- but when she sees it's a cosplayer guy she procedes to beat him down using Ebi (poor Ebi...). When Yukinari tries to stop Tomoka from making more of a fuss he bumps into a rather mysterious looking cloaked girl, along with another woman... the girl breaks out after Yukinari leaves, much like he does when he's touched by a girl...
Miharu sees Yukinari and calls him to where Kirie and Koyomi are dressed up for some reason.. they're working there so they can pay to get the bathtub fixed.. but Kirie's up to something. She says that they're one girl short and they need another... Like Yukinari.. who also has a wonderful voice according to her.. so Yukinari ends up dressed like them and doesn't want to do it anymore.. but Kirie puts on another act and he goes along with it.
So Yukinari is now Yukina-chan and he goes out on stage (with a wig on) to do the interview with a few seiyuu. With many otaku onii-sans looking on -- they seem to like Yukina-chan a lot ;) As Yukina-chan does the interview Fukuyama shows up and does the usual before Kirie smacks him. The company that Kirie's working for is owned by his family, of course ;) He seems to have taken quite an interest in Yukina-chan.. Kirie takes advantage of the situation and offers to introduce him to her ;)
After the interview's over Kirie comes out on stage and says there'll be a little contest involving Yukina-chan.. and Fukuyama, of course. Yukinari protests but he falls for Kirie's act again and goes along with it. Yukina and Fukuyama will be seeing who's the best at a few videogames, a motorcycle game, another kinda... twister-ish game, I guess, and a fighting game. Fukuyama gets in good looks at Yukina-chan during those and does a bit of fondling, of course ;) And he ends up the victor... so he gets to do what he wants with Yukina-chan. And as he puts his hand down there and grabs... something doesn't quite feel right.. it couldn't be... It is! Kirie rips the wig off Yukina-chan, revealing her as Yukinari. Fukuyama then realizes just how very, very, very, very badly he screwed up and faints... So Kirie ends up the sole winner here, taking home some extra moolah ;)
Though the circumstances and setting in the manga were a bit different I still loved this episode. Yukinari makes a good girl, doesn't he? (just like... well, you'll see that soon) Just seeing Fukuyama's expression after he realized what a big mistake he made was worth it. I was laughing as hard as Kirie was ;) And Kirie.. man, she's evil, ain't she? And she and Fukuyama were getting along so well last time, lol.
That mysterious girl and her companion.. not much revealed about them besides that the girl has 男子恐怖症, the opposite of Yukinari's 女子恐怖症, and that they know Miharu, Yukinari, et. al. from somewhere ("So he/she/they were here?"). We'll see there...
Next time is mah-jongg, but with a twist. It's Fukuyama's game, you know, there's gotta be something ecchi involved -- it's kinda a combination of strip mah-jongg and cosplay mah-jongg that's not really mah-jongg, you could say. This tile says 脱衣, "undress", and the one Miharu's holding says 揉む, "rub; massage". Now you see what I mean? Should be quite funny ;)
And lastly.. Koyomi was in this episode for more than a second! Yay! ;)
Funny how women's clothes give Yukinari women's hips too. :p
Kirie is one evil mastermind :D
well, it is an anime, so leave the logic out the window. Kirie really stole the show for this one. she's soo clever using "kawaiiness" as a weapon to "persuade" Yukinari,haha. soo cute yet sooo evil. adds a new depth to her character.
but well, next episode, MAHJONGG!!, well, actually Fukuyama-style Mahjongg. should be real fun. have to note though, they seem to use different Mahjong types. havent seen some of the tiles they're showing.
I added some screencaps and translations for those tiles -- it is "Fukuyama-style Mahjongg" as you said, you know ;)
Thanks for putting up the summary. Once again, I watch it "live and raw." Thank God for cable TV here.
I can't believe Yukinari has female looks and Kirie decided to exploit them for the job. And I thought he has chicken pox (based from the little dots on some parts of his skin) and Fukuyama contracts them after he makes that "mistake" you're talking about. Why didn't you mention anything about those little dots?
Well, I'm excited in seeing the next episode, especially the mahjongg and the fact that one of them would wear a Playboy Bunny costume. Anime Playboy Bunnies turn me on...
Don't feel too sorry for Ebi, if it wasn't for Tomoka using him as a weapon he'd never get any screen time! :)
No prob, Nanami :) Since you're new to Girls Bravo you'll probably want to read my entries on the first season here:

I explain the "chiken pox" and such there ;) Basically, Fukuyama's allergic to guys. Yukinari's allergic to girls, 'cept for Miharu, she's fine.
And Maestro, Tomoka needs to turn Ebi back into that cute girl! ;)
btw, the seiyuus that came on stage.. I'm almost positive, but to make sure, they were voiced by Miharu's, Koyomi's, and Kirie's seiyuus respectifully right?
will it be revealed that Yukinari is alien from a world where everyone is afraid of the opposite sex ? :D
about the seiyuu, sure sounds like them, especially Kawasumi Ayako and Saito Chiwa
GOD... thanks for the mahjongg screens and translations. man, i can imagine a freaking funny game involving those.
the on stage seiyuus seem to be animated forms of the real seiyuu's. having some fun i guess. Momotato has a nice description. you can compare the looks with ANN.
so my ears were right, figured as much. :)
Kawasumi Ayako and Saito Chiwa were pretty obvious, but Kurata Masayo was more of a guess than anything else. As Momotato mentioned, hard to compare since Koyomi barely has had more than 3 lines the whole 2nd season so far.
Actually wish Noto Mamiko or one of the other seiyuus were animated instead. Matsuoka Yuki or Ohara Sayaka would have been nice too ;)
I wanted an animated Chiwa Saitou gif! XD
Miharu's and Kirie's seiyuu was pretty obvious... was that Koyomi's seiyuu? It would make sense but I can't be sure of that. I need to hear Koyomi more.
