Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakamatachi 3

more on Otohime's past is shown and that she was a fat girl in the past. Luckily enough, she met Tarou, who she daily chase after, and that meeting changed her life, including her own body. Meanwhile on the way to school, Ringo tells Ryoushi that she now has a bento that Ryouko has made and asks him to spin around 3 times and bark in order to get it... which he did and got hit from Ryouko. Just then, Tarou rushes forward and grabs on Ryouko's leg, asking her to save him and from afar, sparks are flying from both Otohime and another girl. Turns out that the other girl was Mimi and was also in the same elementary school with Otohime and Tarou. Earlier on when Tarou bumps into Mimi and later sees Otohime, she was shocked to see how much Otohime has changed but still called her by the nickname "turtle" as in the past. The duo then decides that they will settle their score in the Miss Otogi Academy Contest where if Otohime wins, Mimi will stop using the nickname "turtle". Back in Otogi Bank, Otohime becomes the cilent this time and requests that they help her to win the contest and of course, the normal fee of the request applies to her as well even though she's a member of the Otogi Bank. Having requested it, Ringo gives more in depth information about the contest where both Mimi and Otohime are equally competitive and every male student would only be entitled to one vote each. Ringo also tells about the history of the winners and also about a mysterious girl who appears just as Ringo finishes. Turns out that it was just Liszt crossdressing and his marvelous ability to do so allows him to gather information efficiently. No doubt his Otogi Bank's president. And so, the defaming mission begins for the Otogi Bank and Mimi as well, whom both parties have started spreading rumours about each other, resulting in them being recognised more, but in a bad way. Ryouko was also shocked to discover that she was entered into the contest as well. The defaming continues and Ringo, Otohime and Otsuu went to snatch votes from Mimi which later results in a bad-mouthing exercise and defames the both of them even further. The day of the contest is nearing and when Tarou sees Otohime dozing off he supports her and tells her not to work too hard for it. The Contest day finally arrives and it was a swimsuit extravaganza and Ryoushi was initally happy as he thought he would see Ryouko in a swimsuit but fanservice doesn't come easy. In the end, when the results of the top10 contestants were revealed, neither Mimi nor Otohime was in the top 10 position and while Mimi goes on a rampage on the students, Otohime was on the verge of tears when the contest had ended. Liszt then gives Otohime a voting slip and brings her to the scoreboard where she discovers that she had only gotten one vote while Mimi had none. Liszt tells her that they were not able to fully accomplish her request and took a different route to let her see how important one vote counts and Liszt suspect that Tarou's vote would be the most important to her. Otohime then throws herself into Tarou's arms and cries in happiness after Tarou telling her that she has already worked hard enough for him and she'll always be in his heart.

a sedimental episode i suppose... was quite surprised to see how much Otohime has changed and Tarou and Otohime are really bonded by fate eh =) it was amusing, too, to see how the rabbit (Mimi) fights the turtle (Otohime) and those scandalous remarks on each other... and the censorship with the character overlap of Ringo and Mimi's vulgar quarrel. it is a light-hearted series and storyline wise per episode seems to be going quite well too...

P.S. i just realised that Liszt had opened his eyes while crossdressing O.o
