Thanks to Professor’s help, I was able to enroll to Momotsuki Academy, where Miyamoto-sensei is. Somehow schools just make me cheerful even more~. Above that, I never thought I’d meet Behoimi-chan in a place like this. All the bittersweet memories from the battlefield came flowing back and meeting her was so nostalgic~. While everyone was having troubles with presenting their summer holiday homework, we found out that someone had set up bombs inside the school. Just who’s work could this have been? For the time being, I together with Behoimi-chan will do our best with defusing bombs~.

Compared to the Group expedition episode and Behoimi episode, Episode 10’s contents may be kinda plain. I thought of making the episode appearance showy, so I tried adding more shadows and other things than usual everyday (which I felt weren’t all that plain...). I wish you’ll take notice on Becky’s expression when she’s enduring the urge to go to toilet (laughs), and the last scene with Behoimi’s and Media’s conversation! The ending in particular doesn’t have any flashy action, but it does use a fair number of frames.

In Episode 1, I had a hard time capturing the cuteness of Becky drinking Cola in one go. Also, with the 2nd Opening Roulette☆Roulette” I couldn’t get the timing in Becky’s dance right, so I had to learn making it by trial and error.

Ai and Makoto

A pure love manga, which was an original story from the author who established the whole ”Father with dignity = Flipping the table” theme in one of his manga. The famous line “I’d die for you!” from the bookworm boy, who had feelings for the manga’s heroine, is still hot to this day.

Just like you, brother!

My mount is fierce!

Lines from the F**st Brothers, who appear in the “X” part of the famous mecha anime series, which starts with letter G. This anime uses memorable lines as episode titles, which is why episode 3’s title is along the lines “My beloved mount~”.

20th Anniversary. Su**er Mar** Bro**ers

Even though the words are obscured, it’s obviously the extremely popular major title that was a big hit in the beginning of Fa**com era, which is still played on various game consoles and in various countries to this day. It was launched alongside Fa**com, which is probably why so many people got hooked on it.

Nobody’s answering the phone

The Futon Blew Up

These two foolish puns can be found everywhere, but everyone knows them because they were used in the manga where the original objective was to collect seven balls. They may be the most well-known puns, perhaps in all Japan.

Dekoboko Daigakkou

E-sture

In the variety show Minami ****suke no Dekoboko Daigakkou from the 1970s, there’s a segment called “E-sture”. Instead of using gestures, it was a quiz where contestants had to guess what was drawn on the whiteboard.

What, you moron?!

A joke from one of the initial members of that one group who would gather at 8 o’clock and perform live skits. He was later replaced by a certain Ken-chan, which is why many people say they have never seen a skit where this original member has participated in.

Hayaoshi Quiz Q

Because I’m a Worthless Human

DaviLyn Uranai

In-the-Brain ball team

Titles of a certain late night radio program’s segments. The way the host spits out poisonous speech, compared to how he smiles and shakes off his large body on daytime TV, has garnered him enemies in the industry world, but despite all that, it’s an incredibly popular show that has been on the air for over 10 years.

Hey, it’s

”Gomen kudasai” is a familiar line that’s one of the most famous jokes by a Yoshimoto Shinkigeki performer. Recently, there has been next to none exposure to the jokes on media outlets, making them hard to understand, but if you’re in your late 20s, you’ll probably get them, right?

Class 1-C Blonde Teacher

From a national drama that has the familiar line “Character for ‘person’ is made up of a person and a person”. The setting has been used as a joke everywhere. Speaking of blonde teachers, Dorian ****gawa made once a TV program with that name on it.

There are no more girls at Etoile

Etoile is the kissaten where Kurumi works in MaroMayu. Of course, its poster girl is Kurumi herself. Because she’s plain, she has no moe points. Wonder if somewhere there are fans of moe who are into non-moe girls too (are there such?).

Is there a doctor in the house?

These are the protagonist’s words, from a literary manga also known as “メメ Jellyfish” (which was a misprint of X X Jellyfish). This author’s manga gives off an abstruse impression, but if you want to become knowledgeable about this manga, you should read a few of his works.

I won’t let you people get away with this!

For whatever reason I’m an agent of the cops

The catchphrases of a delinquent girl detective, which was active in a drama series that became a social phenomenon. The juvenile delinquent, yankee boom around the time gave tailwind to the show’s popularity, making it a big hit. Alongside the show, yoyos got popular too.

Contrafactum that was sung in a 90s variety show. The original song became a huge hit, and due to this influence, the parody version’s popularity reached large scales.

There are two theories about the origin behind Giant Salamander’s alternative name, hanzaki: “Because it can move even when torn in half” and “Because its large mouth makes its body look like torn in half”. There are no reports of the species speaking human language by belching letters out of its mouth.

Takenokozoku?

They’re the youngsters who gathered at Harajuku’s Hokoten in the 80s. Perhaps even younger generations might know this, but the etymology of the word comes from the fact that the harlem suits (required clothing) they wore were often bought from a boutique called “Takenoko”.

Kholnyi Smerch

Flying phoenix

These seem to resemble S**nt Cyg**s’ and S**nt Phoe**x’s lethal moves. By the way, the technique on the right appears in the original manga, but has a different name in the anime. It’s impressive when combined with Cyg**s Dance, which has strangeness to it.
