This episode was really nice, more Mako-chan and they really had some problems ! : D It was so nice when they were thinking about bras and they had that bathroom accident.

This episode was better than previous ones, little same like with first season; it's first boring but then it's nicer ~

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Have to wonder though just how much closer Mako-chan can come to being found out. A couple times there I really thought the kid was done for. Especially that bathroom incident and when Chiaki tried to clean up the soda. xD

For me, this was the most enjoyable episode up till now. And Mako-chan was responsible for this. He's actually win :)


Chiaki and Kana won as well.

"The Tanuki shows its tail" was a great piece of dialogue I admit :) And the tanuki stories that followed were great too. Makoto is a good character, especially coupled with Chiaki.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Good episode all around. For a young guy to be physically unaffected by the scrubbing, he must have amazing will power not to show his tail. At that age, most tails would be at full attention.

Some people love Hosaka, but I'm a Mako-chan fan! ... so this episode will be ranked highly by me.

I love both =D

Seriously this is what I missed in Season 2. Minami-ke doesn't have anything spectacular, it just have amazing characters, and that's what matter.

Looks like a lot of Maki in this few episodes too. She is another character that should have been in a lot more scene, and more Hayami would be good too

A blusherific episode that made me want more! I also loved the tanuki part, because they really are cute. <3

My favourite part was "I see. Overdevelopment is a problem too, I guess."

I agree. His voice and face make it really easy to guess that it's him. If Chiaki didn't know it was him I'd be a bit scared lol. But then again would she really be wiping his crotch area if she knew he was a guy?

To be honest I don't really notice much of a change in Makoto's personality when he acts as a girl.

Mako-chan is... Mako-chan......is a guy?! I always though Mako-chan is a girl but then I had been suspicious about her having a male name, Makoto. Mako-chan wear bright pink clothes, a feminine hairstyle, as well as facial makeup.

Wait a second... Don't tell me Touma is a boy too?! Then again, it was already indicated that Touma is a tomboyish girl, sister of three Minami brothers who also happened to be the cousins of Kana, Chiaki, and Haruka nee-sama.

I think I've told you this 3 times now. Watch the first two seasons.

Gosh, I totally agree. I would like an episode with Hosaka, Mako-chan, AND Fujioka. Now that would be win.

Best episode so far, Kana stealing from Uchida's food was the best, especially when she just ate the casing.

I actually don't think Chiaki suspects Mako-chan is Makoto. My reasoning is early in season 1, when she gives everyone nicknames, with Chiaki nicknaming Makoto Mako-chan, then changing it to baka kodomo when it was obviously a girls name. The idea is Chiaki has a talent for nicknames and sees who people actually are inside. Therefore, when dealign with Mako-chan, Mako-chan probably comes off as a much more real person to her than Makoto does. So yeah, it suggest deep inside Makoto really is Mako-chan, and that deep inside Touma is really a boy.

However it's not so simple as saying "they're transgendered and Chiaki sees their true selves" because there is plenty of room for gray area and confusion. Just because Makoto takes so naturally to being Mako-chan doesn't mean the Makoto personality is false or should be discarded. But you can see how Kana's reference to cigarette smoking plays into this. He probably really does enjoy being Mako-chan, but also wants to be Makoto. He will need to reconcile himself eventually, and hopefully mature because of it.

But for now, I don't see him ever being found out by Chiaki.

Funny episode, but why were Makoto and Kana speaking so casually around Chiaki?

This is my favorite epsiode this season so far. Poor Matoko, he has entered the point of no return from cross-dressing.

I wonder if Fujioka will ever learn that Touma is a girl.

The way Chiaki reacted to regular Makoto being so close was hilarious.
Lots of Mako-chan is this episode, it was really entertaining.

Makoto is officially the luckiest guy in Minami-ke. Seeing Haruka's almost topless many times (including in previous seasons), the kotatsu incident, getting hugged by Chiaki, and now getting a "hand job" from her too XD

I like the fact Kana just screaming that Mako is a boy when Chiaki is there.. staring..
Mako-chan with boobs, I approved xD

Being Makoto is a suffering xD

3 same cups for a family.. What's wrong with it?
In the first place they should buy the cups together, so they can see whether they had same one or not
But it's anime logic.. Why am I questioning it! xD
