Shuffle! - 11: The Ladies of Summer

Title:	Shuffle!
Episode:	11: The Ladies of Summer
Synopsis
This episode is very different than the others as it doesn't feature Rin-Kun as the main character, and it is split equally between Mayumi (Only female Classmate who isn't after Rin) and Benibara Nadeshiko (Teacher - Nadesico? As in the anime Martian Successor Nadesico?) Mayumi Mayumi is just finishing up her remedial classes before summer begins. She leaves class right at the end and bumps into Rin-kun causing them to fall over. When she comes around, Rin is under her and her striped panties are in his face! He tells her to get off and instead she is offended that he doesn't get a rise out of them. So she jumps on his stomach to move forward (And still offer a view of her panties) and says she will embarass him instead by taking off his pants. As she is undoing his zipper the GIRLS OF HIS HAREM show up. (very embarrassing for Mayumi, not Rin). They are going to the pool and want to know of Mayumi wants to come along. She doesn't have a suit but Nerine offers one of hers. Very funny scene here with a comparative breast sizes between Mayumi (AAA) and Nerine (B or C). Mayumi notices that Rin is uncomfortable and grabs him in a headlock where he says her ribs are crushing his head (See the note). She storms off. On the way to the ice cream parlor, a little boy goes up to her and looks under her skirt. After she chases him off she comments on how come Rin-kun didn't get a rise and that little 5 year old did (Uh oh, do I smell a 5th girl in the making?). She goes to the parlor and orders a large sundae. There she comments to Kareha-senpai (The Blonde - Who works there) about how Rin probably doesn't like flat chested girls and Kareha says (Triangle, Quad, Pentagon? (Refering to the number of girls after Rin - 4 and Mayumi would make a 5th). Mayumi gets mad and also realizes that she has lost her wallet. Kareha says that's ok if she works there for a few hours. Mayumi changes her clothes and realizes she has misplaced her panties. Kareha comes in and makes her go to work 'au-naturale'. For the next 5 minutes she is trying to avoid showing off her bottom (short work skirt) and at the end of her shift the door opens and the wind shows off to all her customers what she was trying so hard to hide (hehe). At the end of the day she bumps again into Rin-kun who gives her a bag and her wallet, which she must've dropped at school during their 'tussle'. He runs off (mighty fast too) and she looks in the bag and finds her missing panties. (How did Rin get them?) Rewind to the beginning of the episode Nadesico She is just watching Mayumi leave when another girl wants to ask her a question. The question is how can this girl become as popular as the Teacher? Nac-chan (Mayumi's nickname for her) answers that the popularity she has is not what the girl wants. Nacchan explains that her popularity is because of her large breast size and the guys are focused on that. (Whoa! Truth in Anime!) She advises the girl that just be herself. That way she will only find those guys that find her attactive in other ways and not just for sexual reasons. On the way out she finds Mayumi's wallet which she gives to Rin-kun to give back to her. She leaves to go to lunch (And she drives a VW btw), a guy comes up to her holding a coke and trys to pick up on her. She says '2 points' and then proceeds to use her bare hands to cut the coke bottle in half (Damn she is skilled). She then gets another proposal and she goes '15 points' and turns around and it's her STUDENT! (Rin's friend, I forget his name). She gives him 30 laps at school instead. At Kareha's restaurant (I assume AFTER Mayumi left) she and Asa (Green) are having some lunch and talking about how guys are idiots and there are no 'normal' guys left. Asa smiles and says 'there is one' (Of course Asa is thinking of Rin). As they leave, they bump into Rin who says he hasn't found Mayumi yet. Kareha (Who is at the door) points out that they just missed her. (Confirmation of time!) oh and can Rin give her this important bag she forgot (The panties!) She and Rin drive around town looking for Mayumi. At Mayumi's place (A bath house) Rin says he will go back and look for her. (I guess this is where he finds Mayumi considering she doesn't have a train pass home anymore). Nacchan heads home and finds an envelope and message from her mom. Her mom wants her to look at the guy in the envelope and see if he's good for Marriage. As she thinks all guys (But one) are perverts she puts down the envelope and erases the message. She putters around the house very bored. (Panty shot for some reason) So she leaves and heads to the bath house The 2 threads merge at this point Mayumi is yelling at some kids who are playing around naked in the entrance way of the bath. As she is closing, Nacchan shows up and she invites her in as a last customer. In the bath they are talking about how they need a good man and Nacchan points out that all good men are already taken.
Comments
Forbin Wow I would NEVER have gotten that Ribs joke if the subbers did not point out that to feel her ribs you would first feel her breasts (Which are nonexistant!). I wonder if Nacchan is going to join the harem and the Pentagon will become a Hexagon. (remember that no one considers Primula a threat) This episode develops late in the game 2 characters that I didn't even know were interested in Rin. And for some reason a lot of panty shots going on. [2007-09-17, Devil Doll:] Very weak episode, even though it gets better towards the end. No story progress at all, background story for two characters who'll most likely remain completely irrelevant, and lots of unnecessary pantsu stuff (and beyond). Watching Sia's father eating the whole time wasn't that thrilling either. The teacher's sub-arc was actually nice but Mayumi was hard to endure - that's not fan-service any more, it's obscene. And why didn't Nerine blow up Mayumi who had her hand moving in between Rin-kun's legs (and even in public)? I fast-forwarded through this episode during my rewatch.
