The whole film club team (plus Nishino, Yui, Chinami, and a new girl named Kozue Mukai) are travelling to a new pension deep in the mountains where they accepted a job for the summer holidays as to raise funds for more film projects, as they've been offered exceptional wages. But soon enough they'll learn what the male crew of this pension actually is up to...

Fan-service central! This one focuses on the girls in various outfits that show off a multitude of assets. The episode itself focused on Satsuki and the main lead. Blackmail and sexual harassment are the topics as the main lead is black-mailed into letting the girls dress in fetish-style clothes, giving the owner and his 2 servants the power to run wild with their desires with nothing to stop them. The end of the episode was very interesting but the main lead saves the day again and the girls exact some much deserved revenge. Satsuki is completely taken over with how the main lead keeps saving her and she decides to thank him "properly" but gets stopped like usual and more laughs end the show. The scene where the 3 girls all run behind the main lead and he washes the problem away for them was really good. This was my favorite scene. I must’ve watched it like 30 times! It was that amusing to me. This type of side story are what OVAs are all about. Nicely done. I can't imagine what the negative reviews are for because this is what is expected from this type of silly-funny anime. It was just fine and nice to watch.

Never forget Xenosaga.

Okay, I think I get it now--the odd-numbered Ichigo 100% OVAs are good, while the even-numbered ones suck. I found this one to be lame and predictable--a cheap excuse for some sleazy ecchi, not the good ecchi, which is excusable because it is silly and comes about by accident. What a waste! I never got a good laugh and was impatient for it to end. At least it was those three jerks at the pension that are tarnished, while the usual cast remains likeable and respectable (though a little common sense wouldn't hurt them). Speaking of the cast, why was yet another girl added? Just barely a "Watch" if you are trying to see the entire Ichigo 100% canon, otherwise an "Avoid" because this will give you a very bad impression of the series as a whole.

6/06

What is a Pension? This more looks like some mountain retreat.

Of course if they have roads and cars why did Manaka and the others walk there?

What is the only reason you should watch this? Because of all the fan-service. This whole OVA (Which should've been the 3rd movie) was instead just a plain joke with boobs. Honestly why didn't Nishino after seeing Manaka under Satsuki 1) broken it off with him or 2) completely slapped the crap out of Satsuki.

Owells watch it, but you will not learn ANYTHING about Ichigo.

And it's still getting worse after the horrible Ichigo 100% OVA 3... unbelievable.

While its predecessor at least was funny (and packed with half-nude girls that put Manaka into strange situations) and provided some valuable Nishino material, this time the name of the game is: Blackmail, sexual harrassment, fetishes, and attempted rape. And this new Mukai-san girl is being used for exactly one scene... day-dreaming about Manaka taking her virginity! Come on, really.

Two aspects are worth mentioning: 1. Manaka starts to grow a spine; 2. Satsuki is the lead character of this OVA.

I'm seriously pissed. What have they done to this nice series?


Note that this story has specifically been written for the OVA, it isn't a part of the original manga. Then again Mukai-san actually is an important character towards the end of the manga, maybe even the best developing character at this stage, which is why this OVA is to be considered even more horrible IMHO.
