Ichigo 100% - Episode 5
Guess who’s back?
Back again?
Yui’s back!
Tell a friend.
Guess who’s back? Guess who’s back? Guess who’s back? Guess who’s back? Guess who’s back?
Okay, well maybe for just a cameo. But still, it’s just another positive thing to add on to the best episode so far in this series.
And I apologize, don’t expect to see another Eminem reference in this blog ever again.

Yes, I did go a little screen cap crazy with this one. It’s a shame that the video quality is so poor with this series.
This episode showed a lot of what makes a good shounen romance so good, sexual tension and lots of fanservice! The stage was set for all the directions in the Ichigo compass* to finally meet each other, and they even added a really hot schoolteacher for good measure. Let’s see… bikinis, loose summer outfits, big breasts in your face, more bikinis, implied lesbianism, nose bleeds, nude bathing in the hot tub, and then finally falling out of one’s robes… yeah, there was defiantly a lot to go o_O over with this one.
I mentioned last episode about how Junpei was driven by love and not lust… well, no normal healthy teenaged boy could resist all this sex being thrown at him. So he joins with the perverts in drooling over the girls or listening in on their sexy conversations, but he never “crosses the line” with his perversion unless he is literally thrown into it by the other guys (which makes up some of the funniest moments in this episode). But still, Jumpei feels more guilty about it then aroused, therefore you still can’t help but to still like him. He’s still a good guy, as they make clear at the end with how much he cares for the ill Satsuki.
So this was a really fun episode that shows off all the positive things about the Ichigo series. It reminded me a lot of the OVA episode. I hope that the rest of the series continues to be just as exciting as this.
IS IT SUMMER YET?!?
*By the way, the reason why I called it a compass is because all the girls are named after directions. Satsuki is North, Yui’s South, Aya’s East, and Nishino’s West. Furthermore, Junpei’s name means, “Center.” You can clearly see what they’re getting at with this. So when you see directions and compasses in this show, you’ll know why.
