Doujin Work #04 — Neko Mimi Mode Desu!

July 25th, 2007

Work it, girl.

Special thanks to PEM from #SpoonSubs hooking me up with a raw for this week’s episode since nobody wanted to torrent it and Share/WinNY hate my network. 

Impressions:

To go off on a sidetrack, the OP and ED singles are out this week, and combined, they’re probably my favorite tracks of the season, though the Umisho OP may edge at least this OP out.

Anyway, a rather fun episode about Najimi’s part time job in an otaku cafe. I could have used a little more Justice and Tsuyuri perversion during it, but Najimi’s outfit really wasn’t particularly revealing anyway. It certainly accentuated her non-existent chest though.

Summary:

The doujin veterans are discussing Najimi’s mysterious part time job. She won’t tell Tsuyuri what it is though, which leads to Justice and Tsuyuri coming to their own… conclusions about what she must be doing with herself. They end up following her, leaving Justice behind on the train at one point.

They follow her back to the game store from before, but still can’t figure out what her job is until they see the ads for a neko mimi cafe. They walk in, and Najimi greets them with an “welcome to the store, master,” dressed complete in cat ears and tail.

They get all settled in, and a little later, the guy from before comes in. She greets him familiarly and he says “I’m back.” Justice calls her over and asks how often he comes in, and gets annoyed when Najimi tells him that he’s in every day. She doesn’t find it particularly weird though.

Najimi eventually brings them their food and tries to write a message in it for them as per cafe custom, but Tsuyuri takes advantage of it to fluster Najimi and ends up with a plate full of sauce. On the other hand, Najimi is apologizing to the still-nameless guy for messing up the chocolate on his food. He’s all blushing and trying to hit on her, but Justice sneaks up behind her and starts being all cranky at him.

In response, he says that he has a special kind of magic. He whips out his “frequent customer” card, and uses it and his special favors to get Najimi to start spouting off various cute cat noises… needless to say, Justice is defeated. The two pose for a picture, but he sneezes during it. Justice and the guy have one last exchange about who gets to talk to Najimi before he tips her and takes off.

Justice grills her about why she’s even working in such a place, and she tells him that it’s all for her manga and to learn about the doujin culture. He’s touched by her will and moves himself to behind the counter to help her, to her distress.

    “This is not a tsundere tea house.” Heeheehee! Najimi was so cute in this episode! By the way, did you understand what Tsuyuri was talking about when she says that Najimi is “M”? (She says it once on the subway and again at the tea house when Najimi is writing a message with the ketchup.)
