Sumomomo Momomo - ep 11
My female friend came shouting hentai to me after watching episode 11. This coming from someone who didn’t catch a single sexual innuendo previously other than momoko’s transparent dress and still found the anime very enjoyable. I realised what she meant after watching the episode for myself.

Sanae’s brand new strings outfit
This episode focuses solely on Hikaru challenging Koushi in school and how it turns out.
Before things start, Saigo makes an appearance as the school’s strongest guy. Of course, even though he is very cute with 3 kittens, he ain’t a match for Hikaru. Suffering a sense of deja vu, his henchmen then point out to Hikaru who Koushi actually is.
Koushi too has a sense of deja vu, this being the third time such a thing is happening to him. First line of defence: Momoko.
However, after Hikaru reveals that he is actually an ally, and just wants a duel for the sake of love, Momoko is totally moved and turns around to implore Koushi to fight. Koushi tries to explain that the problem isn’t a matter of fighting being bothersome. Koushi asks if Momoko realises that he cannot fight at all, only be faced with a wooden blockhead.
No choice but for Sanae to rush home to show off her pink bra change into outfit to come fight Hikaru. Meanwhile Koushi uses his second line of defence of verbal attack. However, he fails miserably as Hikaru speaks into a totally different dialect and does not understand what he is saying at all.
The arrival of Sanae of course brings much excitement to everybody, especially the photo taking Hanzo.
However, love for Koushi prevails! The fight begins. Sanae starts the fight pretending to be Sanae’s representative, and declares that the fight will be a proposal of marriage. However, her kicks have little effect on Hikaru, and is soon kicked to a corner herself.
*sidestory* Meanwhile, Iroha is scolding Hanzo not to take so many photos, when she realises that it’s actually a digital camera. Horrified that Hanzo had used the money for resurrecting the family society, she recounts the many ways she has been saving up, and proceeds to hammer Hanzo herself.
However, Sanae is not done. Actually, her outfit spreads her strength through her whole body, thus leaving 10% of her power in her kicks. How do you increase the power of the kicks? Why… by removing the other pieces of the outfit! Through the shame of rape and nakedness, Sanae will defend Koushi! At the sidelines, even as Sanae imagines Koushi defending her dignity, Koushi is trying to get her not to strip as it’s illegal.
One kick and Hikaru is knocked out. Luckily, it’s before Hikaru shouted out Sanae, after finally realising that it’s Sanae. Quickly, Sanae carries Hikaru and runs away.
As unlucky as Sanae is, of course her problems are not over. Next day finds Hanzo selling photos of her to make enough money to replace the cost of the camera. (which of course sells like hot cakes)
Thoughts
I was really laughing through the episode. I just thought the presentation of Sanae was just so funny. Maybe the thought of my friend screaming hentai had something to do with it.
But. I’m having an overdose of Sanae, and hearing Aya Hirano. :S
Too bad the series is coming to an end!!
