hontou ni sou omou?

Becky springs a next-day test surprise on her class. Their overnight study session inevitably becomes a pajama party. We finally get a chara-stats intro to Igarashi-sensei whom I liked immediately because she is a drunk and a disillusioned teacher. Nowhere as wacky as Yukari Tanizaki but seems to have similar emotional scars regarding her profession. Completely unlike Minamo Kurosawa (Nyamo - whom I think is about as badly damaged as Yukari but hides it better most of the time) in terms of characterisation but has got a similar feel in terms of being a character that could be a real person.

Highlights included Rei threatening Himeko as the latter was the only one not stressed by the test - a good time to sleep since she’s going to flunk anyway. Quite hilarous how Himeko knows she loses her source of energy if her ahoge is pulled out and she does really enjoy being maho-genki.

Kurumi compliments Rei.

i.e. highly practical and unsentimental.

A second compliment from Kurumi. Plain Jane akogare? It’s certainly qualitatively different from Kurumi’s yuri drooling at Boku Himeko in Ep 20.

Unfortunately it turns out the Rei puts dangerous moves on her surroundings while asleep. Mesousa is the fall guy, of course, but at least he doesn’t mind.
