Atari wakes up at 8am when the alarm clock placed above him starts to ring. He turns to scold to Momoko, but finds out Momoko had already left early morning, but still set an alarm clock to wake Atari. But Momoko wouldn’t be able to help Atari out at work though, Momoko has extra training!

At voice training lessons, Momoko totally fouls up a tongue twister being too nervous. Apparently it’s because she just found out that her teacher is actually a famous voice actress. Momoko is thus sent to the roof.

Everybody is called into the president’s office regarding a Yumi-chan meet the fans session, where they are supposed to help out. Momoko ain’t excited at all, until she finds out that her idol, Minato Ichinose is going to be the emcee.

She’s so excited that she returns to work to help Atari, where a colleague gives her a set of Skater Love. At home, she ends up watching the entire set and ends up waking up late.

However, she meets Yamashita and Atari while running to work, and ends up being crazily driven by Yamashita. However, Yamashita soon ends up in a traffic jam, and Atari ends up cycling momoko to her destination.

Of course, Momoko ends up getting scolded upside down. But suddenly a black out causes panic as the event cannot run without power. A crazy momoko then decides to go up on stage and entertain the crowd using her loud voice.

She didn’t think of what to do before hand though, and ends up trying to recite the earlier tongue twister. However, she does succeed! And earns praises from both the president and her trainer. Just in time, the power comes back, and all ends well.

Thoughts

Another generally nice episode, though nothing much in development or excitement. Quite a feel good episode.

Back at the hostel that momoko is staying, she is now in charge of gathering everybody for breakfast. In fact, her single “Good morning” is loud enough to break several windows, and city noise laws at the same time. However, momoko notices that Atari did not come home again, but the rest comments that this is something that is fairly common.

Momoko decides to leave at 7:30 in the morning. She basically dreams of getting a front seat in class, and getting loved by the teacher. However, suddenly she’s overtaken by Yurika, who’s basically thinking the same thing. Momoko runs to overtake Yurika, but turns back to see Yurika taking a shortcut through the park. (I was expecting Momoko to reach class breathless. haha)

Going down the stairs, they are overtaken by Tsubasa on skates, who crashes into the bushes when she doesn’t look at where she’s going. Amane then overtakes them in a car, but gets stuck at a traffic light. They all end up fighting to enter the office building, but a calm Rinka gets in first. The fight then goes to the studio door, which promtly breaks under their mishandling. This is when the teacher arrives.

In class, the group is called up for word dictation, but Momoko and Amane are unable to write a single word. Sensei praises them for knowing their weaknesses and having the motivation to work on it though.

At Atari’s office, he is packing to go home for a nap first, before coming back at night. He comments on colleague Kumano’s collection of figurines that has grown. But Atari is not too interested in them, which Kumano claims is because Atari now has a gf.

At the bookstore, Momoko is shopping for books for her dictation, but realises she has no money, even in her bank. Everybody suggests to her about getting a part time job. Back home, Runa suggests to Atari that Momoko can work as the assistant that Atari’s studio is looking for, but he thinks it’ll only end up adding more work to him. But he promises to help momoko look for a job.

Momoko recounts her past work experiences, where she has been fired within a day, due to her obsession with the Skater Love. Momoko ends up choosing a job as a waitress in a main cafe on her own.

Atari is worried for her, and decides to go take a look under disguise. He ends up splurting out the water he is drinking when momoko ends up being the one who serves food to him. Momoko’s guide to being a maid waitress says that after serving the food, her job is to cuddle up to her master and feed him. Of course that’s not what Atari wants. Momoko misunderstands and thinks that Atari refuses because her acting is not good enough, and tries an even cuter routine. Atari refuses again, and ends up spilling food on his pants near his crouch. Momoko wants to clean it up, and Atari ends up accidentally pressing her hand to his crouch, earning a tight slap. This of course gets Momoko fired.

Only now does momoko realise it was atari. Together, they are walking past a figurine shop, where they spot a skater love figurine. This causes Atari to talk about his love for Skater Love too, and about his studio. But he realises that he shouldn’t reveal that his studio did Skater Love. However, Kumano appears at this moment and reveals it all.

They all go to a cafe for a drink, where Atari falls asleep after not sleeping for 4 days. There, Atari gets a call on his phone, asking about the collection he is supposed to bring. But He does not wake up, instead, Momoko answers the phone.

Next moment, Atari finds himself sleeping on the sofa at the studio. His president tells him not to worry about the collection, since they have now hired an assistant. Instead, he gets a big stack of animation, due the next day. The assistant returns with the collection. It’s MOMOKO! As expected, she fouls up the collection, thus the responsibility falls onto Atari, in addition to his animation work.

Thus it’s another day that Atari can’t go home. Back home, Momoko practises her word dictation, but gets it ALL wrong.

Quite a nice episode actually… but I want more on Seiyuu stuff! and more on the other characters! And I guess it’s obviously Atari x Momoko. Would Atari meet the rest??

Episode 2 is still kinda in an introduction phase. Momoko is dreaming about being a really good seiyuu, and going out with her idol, minato. But it becomes a nightmare when the image suddenly turns into one of a “exposed” Atari.

After waking up, momoko meets her landlord, narita runa. Momoko also meets a sleeping Atari. Atari gets a phonecall from his anime company, but momoko doesn’t want the phone to disturb him, so switches it off. But Runa requests momoko to wake atari up for breakfast. Not surprisingly, her loud voice wakes everybody in the house up instead.
So we get an introduction to tenants staying together. There’s mayu, yukiya a crazed sports maniac, Junko a hostess, sendai taking law exams (fails repeatedly). When requested to say a few lines, momoko goes to look for her script book. which is missing. Atari gets the responsibility to help look for it. While looking, momoko shares her dream of becoming a seiyuu, but atari is pretty pessimistc about it.

Momoko attends her first voice lesson class, and finds out that voice class lessons is really tough, with a very strict teacher. To show off her strengths, momoko volunteers to introduce herself. But when she says she looks forward to speaking in front of the mic, the teacher instead starts to emphasis on how hard it is to pass the class.

A dejected momoko returns home, seen by a equally dejected atari, who has become sort of a gopher in his company, instead of spending time drawing. (I guess he is an apprentice?) This time, momoko finds her script book in the rest of her bags which have just arrived. But decides not to read from it, until she becomes a real voice actress.

It ends with momoko voicing her determination.

i am interested in seeing more of atari though. we’ll see how this series goes. Couple of fanservice here and there. Not much yet. Hopefully it doesn’t become overwhelming.

Don’t really have any special impression after just one episode, but I’ll continue watching though!

Epsidoe one basically shows momoko travelling on the train from kyoto to tokyo, coming across as a really blur girl. On the train, she feels something touching her butt, and proceeds to scream, only to find out it was a paper container, and not the hand of guy that was standing behind her (chikan)

She proceeds to the auditions, where she meets various people. We are shown the auditions of a few characters (basically the ones who are the main characters). While they all look like they did badly, they basically all interest the president, and hence get in.

As for momoko, she gets lost when her turn comes, and ends up at the roof top. At a lost as to what to do, she proceeds to scream, impressing the president with the loudness. Punching momoko, the president is also impressed with what strong abs she has.

After knowing the results, momoko needs a place to stay, and is recommended an old inn. There she meets the guy who supposedly touched her on the train. Unfortunately, he is only dressed in a bathing towel, which accidentally happens to drop.

Is this going to be like Love Hina
