Ichigo Mashimaro 10


While Nobue's out and about the girls watch a TV show about hypnotism. Miu wants to have Chika try it out on her.. then wants to try it out herself on Chika. She's going to try to turn Chika into Satake (^^;;) Chika goes out of the room, saying she's going to the bathroom, and Miu follows. Miu comes back with Satake and Matsuri really thinks that it's Chika. That's Matsuri for you (^^;;) As Miu continues trying to hypnotize everybody Nobue calls up and tells them to come meet up with her, so they go on their way, with Miu and Ana riding the bus and Chika and Miu walking.. well, Miu ends up getting on the bus a bit afterwards so Chika gets left walking...
At the park near the lake, rather than going to meet Nobue they end up splitting up, with Chika chasing after Miu and Matsuri and Ana going on. Nobue tries calling everybody, but no one answers their cell phones... Matsuri and Ana get a bit lost in the paths around the lake, and eventually come upon a foreigner who needs directions who only speaks English. Ana has a bit of a problem (^^;;) But Matsuri seems to have studied her English since she understands what he's saying, and they take him to where he wants to go. Nobue finally gets through to both Matsuri and Miu and everybody finally meets up to go to that cafe that Nobue was looking at earlier for some cake :)
I'd be scared if Miu were to try to hypnotize me, but anyways. As usual, some changes were made from the manga chapters (29 for the hypnotism part, 18 for the part at the lake) to the anime. And in this case, the manga chapters are definitely funnier than how the anime episode turned out... the part in 18 where Miu lifted up Chika's skirt (showing pantsu) while riding with her to the lake, causing a car crash would be NG for the anime, I guess :P Next time, it's almost time for Santa to come.. going to do the whole Christmas episode then? Should be fun, hopefully ;)


Hm, well I thought this episode turned out really well. I agree that the manga is funnier, but I think this kind of episode was a nice break from the typical "room" environment that they're usually in. I also like how Chika appears more _girly_ and how she comes with Miu's girly randomness and evilness :D
