Banana hammock.

Impressions:

Yet more evidence that Komachi comes from a very very troubled home. How does someone even get away with shopping for banana hammocks for middle schoolers without being arrested by the police? Unless Komachi’s brother is handing down his own old banana hammock, which just makes it even creepier. I’m also a little surprised that not even Kiyono had particularly good taste in swimsuits. Come on, fashion gestapo. Backless does not excuse the bizarre fern print. They look like hands groping her hips and lack of a chest.

Unfortunately though, most of this episode was spent on the girls just dressing up Mizuno and screwing around with her, so there wasn’t really anything of note outside of the rather dubious moral lesson of "Obey peer pressure." I don’t think the after school specials are going to be happy with that one. Unfortunately, Mizuno doesn’t provide too much cringe-worthy content, so they had to tack on a brief note on pubic hair. Thank you, Chu-Bra. You’ve set a new level for… uh… the discussion of public hair in anime. Way to be a trailblazer. At least Kiyono didn’t jump in there with the offer for a full Brazilian.
