Itazura na Kiss 04: She who laughs last laughs best.

Every time I watch this show I seem to get a bit too jittery, but I guess Kotoko is just that damn awesome. For some one who is supposed to be a block head Kotoko is fearless and inventive. As Jabba would say she’s my kind of scum. If Kotoko is an unrequited love fighter then Machiko, I mean mum, is her chief of staff. Thank goodness there was no overly long recycling of footage this time around. No doubt this is all according to Machiko’s keikaku.

I hate that little fucker Yuki as far as I am concerned Kotoko should have let the fucker drown as a service to all of humanity. What douche for a smart kid he draws worse than my infant cousin…I prophecy to you this that in a few years time that when Yuki ends up some smelly loser hikkomori that his dreams of being a doujin artist will be crushed. I look forward to see his sorry ass as that ne’er do well uncle that is always begging Kotoko for money. Oh and when he gets old enough girls will reject him left and right yes even those with yaoi paddles. Oh yeah and your cake you little fat fuck Kotoko ruined it on purpose! I also take it that the fat fuck is also planning on breaking into to Kotoko’s room, truly the heresy of this most ugly of shoutas knows no bounds of decency. Oh and he will still be bathing with his parents at age 40.

In any case Kotoko’s procrastination is not one of her good points I favor getting homework done before any vacation time that way I can goof off without worry. At any rate poor Kin-chan tries so hard to impress Kotoko I hope he cherishes what little time he has left with her. Tsuderella Naoki plays a tame, if not altogether wimpy, sport tennis. I guess Naoki-hime can’t be bothered to clean a rifle. Well looks like Machiko has been hard at work in delaying the construction of the Death Star Irie-Aihara palace, no doubt the final lay out will conform to Machiko’s keikaku! Tsunderella is up to his age old eavesdropping ways and vowing to never marry Kotoko claims some sort of right to choose. Too bad Machiko is his mum and mum knows best. Naoki-hime will be wed to a woman of Machiko’s choice; desire will be won later…

At the pool Naoki-hime gets dupped into conforming to his mum’s plans, genius my ass…Naoki-him is no match for the guile and cunning of his mother. As far as swimsuit rankings go Satomi wins with her two piece and pony-tail, Kotoko sadly only choose her school one. You know I bet Kin-chan has numerous enemies of the male variety given how he gets to hang out with girls and still remain hetero. Still I wonder how many more grand gesture Kin-chan has up his sleeves. I still sympathize with the guy because Kotoko doesn’t love him that way. The guy mixed up his friend and boy friend applications and got hired as a friend.

I really wished that it was Kin-chan who rescued that Yuki brat so that Yuki would forever be scarred with Kin-chan giving him CPR as his first and last kiss. I will never forget how uncomfortably bro-con his plea for Naoki to save him was. Naoki’s defense is as Machiko said crumbling. One more push, one more charge and Naoki-hime will be begging Kotoko for a dayto. At least Kotoko forced Naoki to save her and cook for her. I trust that Naoki had to do the dishes.

Kotoko’s plan to infiltrate Naoki-hime’s room was inspired if somewhat poorly executed. I just love how she re-jigged that fat fuck Yuki’s homework, and in one swift stroke forever altered his homework and proved her superiority once again by demonstrating her artistic prowess. Tsunderella’s attempted rape gambit was full of lose and fail. Not only did Kotoko manage to deceive him into surrendering his notes, she also compelled him to help her. Well done Kotoko the OKA is proud of your tactical brilliance and cunning. As for Machiko we recognize her operational brilliance and command of logistics in making Kotoko’s tactical victories possible. Naoki-hime might do well on tests but in the real world Kotoko will time and again prove that he is but a child. Everything is proceeding as Machiko has foreseen, already Naoki is starting to get confused when it comes to Kotoko.

Next time all of F-Class will be reinforcing Kotoko in another offensive. Naoki’s compliance is assured…I just loved how in the end despite all the Irie’s snark and insults that Kotoko turned the tables with devastating effect upon both the Irie brothers. When I become a parent I want ot just like Machiko and keep my unruly children in line whether they know it or not…Lastly Evil Kotoko is awesome. Kokoto will be Happy!

Riex adds: Witness my struggle to weave words in a manner that emulates those of the great Crusader-sama. Alright, nevermind…I’m too lazy. I was going to jump on Itazura, but our resident ammunitions expert beat me to it. Now he does the majority of the work and I get to drop by with comments like: “It’s awesome how I watch every episode of Itazura with a smile of enjoyment on my face.” or “Naoki’s resolve is weak! A real man would either stick to his guns, or finish that “attempted rape gambit” instead of being such a push over!” or possibly “Kotoko should never wear pigtails! Ever!”. Look for better commentary next week…and Crusader just kills this whole writing thing doesn’t he? Two thumbs up.
