So the 3 en Boutons go on dates with the people who won the contest.

That’s uhm.. pretty much… it. The 24 minutes just flew by. What am I saying? It was fuckin’ boring. There wasn’t any slurpslurpslurp!

Rei (Rosa Foetida en Bouton) goes on a date with some jabronie girl. Yoshino (Rosa Foetida en Bouton Petit Souer) stalks them because jealousy is an ugly, pigtailed beast. Shimako (Rosa Gigantea en Bouton) goes on a “date” with Shizuka (Rosa Canina). After some cryptic discussion on the bus, they wind up at school. It’s pretty clear that Rosa Canina has some hidden agenda but no one cares about her or anyone else that I’ve mentioned so far.

Yumi (Rosa Chinensis en Bouton Petit Souer) sucks valuable time out of this episode by worrying about how she can please the aristocratic Sachiko-sama (Rosa Chinensis en Bouton) on their date with her boorish ways. She even consulted a 風水 (feng shui) book for window shopping strategies. That’s some dedication (or unparalleled lesbian lust) right there.

The highlight of the episode is when Yumi and Sachiko go to the local fast-food place. I never thought I’d find any entertainment value in watching someone order hamburgers. The uncanny way this show can turn anything into an emotional experience is something that cannot be explained in words, so I won’t.

Couple (three) things to note here though.
1. Rei and the jabronie girl go watch a movie on their date. It might be just me, but I think going to a movie on a first date is a really stupid idea. Eh, but what do I know?

2. Yumi invites Sachiko on a date without any plans on what to do. What the fuck is wrong with her? Even I know that’s bad.

3. Who eats sandwiches with a knife and fork? Weird.

The thrilling (huh?) conclusion to this show airs in roughly 3 days. I hope they slip each other the tongue.
