This volume has another four episodes of this great anime, but even though it's super-entertaining, the misty-eyed charm is put aside a little for more humor, and the beginnings of a "serious" plot. First, Chi goes out on her own to spend her paycheck money, and decides to buy Hideki another porno magazine (she calls them his "yummies" and has no idea what they are, of course!), but she also buys a continuation of the strange book, The Town With No People, from the last volume, which gives her a vision of herself in a black outfit - kind of like a dark side. This mostly is put aside for the rest of the stories, and we're treated to more solid comedy. Hideki's boss' daughter Yumi asks him out on a date, and in another episode her dad loans him a DVD player and some special DVDs from his "personal collection". There's a weird horror episode that seems kind of like a Scooby Doo plot, and then a trip into an online game where the characters are presented as their avatars (a giant Sumomo is pretty scary!). Some weird things happen in the game that imply Chi's real power, but I would just as soon put that off and stay with the goofy romance!Labels: anime, dvds
