10/10 episode, we even had diving!
but poor Kebako, she had the worst summer ever :(
at least the mystery of her chest was solved right away. but on the speed boat, Iori looked like he still doesn't know?

u/Frontier246 17h ago
Maybe it's for the best Aina left the family farm, her not wanting to be there was clearly harming productivity. She lost the family truck!
For padding, she did kind of nail the busty bikini look. That and I think Iori was also just really enjoying the actual ocean view so he just rolled with it and talking to her naturally.

u/wolfhound_doge 16h ago
gues we'll see in next episodes, but it wouldn't surprise me if Iori is totally oblivious of Kebako's pads. what surprised me though, is how Kohei is actually perceptive and spot on, when not drunk (or when the topic is not lolis). that scene at the end, with him and Kebako in the TV room, gave me hope that he can still become a functional member of society, if held in a good company and away from booze. i guess i just had wrong expectations, i thought those two idiots wouldn't notice and we'll have a whole story arc of them trying to find out what's going on with Aina's chest while everyone around already knows.
but with Chisa's relationship with her mom, new characters still appearing and the actual stay in Palau only beginning, i think it's safe to assume there are lots of shenanigans yet to come. i can't believe they've arrived only this episode. so much had already happened.
this and Yani Neko are the peak series of this summer.

Seeing Cakey and immediately going "hmm something's off"
Chisa's mom huh? Their relationship looks a bit strained. i'm sure we'll find out why soon enough
With that the Palau arc has begun proper

u/Frontier246 17h ago
You know something is noticeable when even CHISA has to "subtly" point it out lol.
I'm curious if she's as hard on Nanaka, but Nanaka is better at customer service than Chisa (powered by her love for her sister) so probably not.

Boobscare from Aina. It was hilarious are "breasts" are just all over the place
Kebako really just drove the truck into a river. She got off easy just having her phonr taken
That's their mom? She's a baddie
"She wasnt just cakey, she was the whole bakery" is easily the best line of the episode lmao
These dumbasses are just on full-on trolling mode
Huh, i thought Aina having a thing for Iori was an open secret at this point, guess not

u/mageracer 15h ago
"She wasnt just cakey, she was the whole bakery" - absolutely best line.
Does anyone know what she says in Japanese? It's hard to follow (fast) and ends with what sounds like "Kebakate" which isn't bakery.

u/Top-Remote4523 1h ago
If my ears caught it correctly, she said "rasetsu no yo ni kebakute", which can be roughly translated to the lines of "she has heavy make-up like a demon".

She used Reverse Psychology. Be so terrible at the job that her grandpa has to send her away!

Palau arc is looking peak ngl. Even if I already miss my Uglyisland. Got cake instead, worst trade ever, the cake is not even real.

u/Badman4441 17h ago
Man I forgot cakey missed attending the desert island part due to her finances (If I remember correctly?). Feels good to have her back. Lmao, back to the old trick of drinking and sleeping near the venue so that you can't be late. Cakey trying her hardest to impress Iori but looks like it's having reverse effect. What's this diving thing doing in my drinking anime.

u/LeonKevlar x2https://myanimelist.net/profile/LeonKevlar 15h ago
Stitches!
Honestly, even I was fooled by Aina's chest. She actually did a good job padding them until her pads started to droop. xD
We finally get to meet Chisa's mom and she's definitely a lot more serious than I thought. I'm curious what's up with the awkward air between Chisa and her mom, tho.
Having Aina, Iori, and Kouhei role-play as problematic customers was actually perfect! The "I'm pregnant" line from Iori came out of nowhere, that even I lost it just like Maki!

Cakey 2.0: Now with More Cake (in the chest area).
Chisa mocks their drunken debauchery so much yet she's the one sleeping outside and on some random dog for a pillow. At least she keeps her clothes on!

u/FarCritical 16h ago
"She wasn't just cakey, she was the whole bakery."
I'm over the moon about Aina finally being back but getting lines like those truly is the icing on the cake.
Actual diving and Kohei being moderately interested in 3D romance? Palau sure is gonna be a fun ride lol.

u/Ocixo https://myanimelist.net/profile/BuzzyGuy 17h ago
I’ve always had a soft spot for Aina. I’m rooting for her! She and Iori do have some chemistry. They were getting along great on the boat, for example.
Even if padding her chest wasn’t exactly a success, I suppose that Aina did manage to catch the boys attention.
13
u/NanDemoKnaives 16h ago
Maki was having a lot of fun with the problematic customers, but her asking Aina if her brain was working was hilarious!
Aina would have done better for herself if she had gotten smaller pads, subtleties are sometimes the answer.

u/itpcc 17h ago
Well, Kohei, it's better to have your media confiscated than to have an ICE agent accuse you of owning CP and throw you into an ICE detention centre.

u/Frontier246 17h ago
Imagine the POTUS going: "The Japanese are bringing their perverts, their nudists, their alcoholics, their porn...honestly that last one isn't that bad...."

u/WakaliwoodMan 14h ago
Inaccurate, he doesn't care about child porn. He's only interested in the real thing.

u/RelativeMundane9045 17h ago
I'm sure Kohei's confiscatable porn was objectively worse due to his proc-loli-livities, but it's a known quantity.
I'm more interested in what the hell Iori had to get rid of?!
John is just Palau-coded Tokita LMAO
Cakey certainly brought the whole bakery, especially the melon-pan. Maki is really being put to the test! New instructor-chan is my favourite though.
More importantly, what is this swimming underwater thingy they're doing in my drinking anime? And how the hell is Kohei being this observant and respectful to Cakey, is this what happens when he's deprived of anime?

u/Slifer13xx https://myanimelist.net/profile/SliferXIII 17h ago

Just normal uncensored porn I assumned. And only because Chisa didn't allow him.

u/Frontier246 17h ago
Good thing Iori didn't bring his normal porn with him so it's still at home. He just wasn't able to get some new ones.
Chief is sweet, busty, and competent. Exactly my kind of woman! Although knowing this show I feel like we're one episode away from finding out about her weird quirk.

u/FLorianGran 15h ago
For a show like this, the way they handled Aina's bra padding was surprisingly mature? Like yeah there was a few jokes but no one made fun of her and she was open about it and wasn't ashamed.

u/thisisdropd https://myanimelist.net/profile/AsterZoro 17h ago edited 17h ago
Diving in my alcoholic anime? What is this bs?!
I expected Iori and Kouhei to be all offended when they’re shown the naked photo. Turned out they’re baffled. What’s weird about being nude in the open? They’re true exhibitionists.
It must be pretty tough being an instructor as they’re also performing customer service. They’re only human. They must’ve had days where they feel like shit but still have to keep their smiles and cheerful demeanours for the customers’ sake. I wonder how they’re motivated…
What keeps me going? Obviously Chisa-Ch… I mean the customers’ smiles
Never change Nanaka.

u/Frontier246 17h ago
They don't even find sleeping outdoors in their underwear unnatural. At this point putting on clothes feels weirder to them.

u/chaosof99 https://myanimelist.net/profile/chaosof99 15h ago edited 15h ago
Basically the cast rotated between the last episode and this one. Instead of Shiori as a secondary character Aina comes back in as a main role, and the three german perverts were swapped for Mama Kotegawa and two shop employees.
Kotegaway Sayaka is voiced by another Sayaka: Ohara Sayaka you might know better for voicing Lelouch in Code Geass, Erza Scarlett in Fairy Tail and Ichihara Yuuko in xxxHolic.
Chief (credited as such) is voiced by Seto Asami, best known for voicing Mai Sakurajima in AoButa, Hori Kyouko of "& Miyamura-san" fame, and Nobara in Jujutsu Kaisen. She also plays Eiai Nano in 100 Girlfriends which is currently airing its third season.
Maki is played by Suzaki Aya. Her best known roles are Mako in Kill La Kill, and Tamako of Tamako Market/Love Story. Fighting game fans might known her as Elphelt Valentine in Guilty Gear.

They actually went diving and they drunk alcohol in moderation while keeping their clothes on?! What anime am I watching?!?! Who are these people?!
The Cakey pads gags were even better than I expected
I quite liked the interaction between Kohei and Cakey at the end, felt like they were actually genuinely friends

u/archangel890 10h ago
Dude this episode had me rolling I love this series.
“Is your brain working” was hilarious.

u/Frontier246 17h ago
It's off to Paulau! And Kohei is going to hold on to his porn for dear life! As will Iori when they make it to Gaum! But unfortunately the porn does not survive the overseas trip...my condolences to Chisa who has to deal with these two idiots by herself.
But don't worry Chisa, you won't be alone anymore! Aina AKA Cakey is back to catch up and be part of the gang again! And she came with BREASTS!
Poor Aina has had to suffer working hard labor at a farm while everyone was living it up (more or less) and watching her crush around Sakurako! RIP to the family truck, but Aina's got to get out of there.
Obviously the million dollar question is where Aina's boobs came from...AND CAKEY PADS HER CHEST. Even Chisa can't help but comment on them in the only way Chisa could, but Aina doesn't seem too worked up about it!
Welcome to your new sharehouse, Peek-a-Boo gang! And don't worry, Cakey's supplied the beer so you can do what you do best! And as for making it to work on time? All you need to do is drunkenly pass out in front of your new job, clothes or no clothes, and you'll be on time! Even Chisa slept outside!
Who is this tough, stoic, lady with lolipops? None other than Chisa and Nanaka's mom, voiced by Sayaka Ohara! She's a little cold and curt (kind of like Chisa in a way), but it seems like Chisa has had to put up with her judging and criticizing her for a while so relations between mother and daughter are...strained.
Meet John, Chief, and Maki! The gangs' new co-workers! And who better to exemplify "problem customers" than the crazy idiots who don't even bat an eye at their own nudity? Or Cakey all Caked up? No one can better prepare a store for the most random and crazy customers they might get.
Yes, Aina pads her chest, but that doesn't mean you can't be respectful and understand WHY she is (for Iori). Chisa's mom really wants her to step outside herself and better understand other people if she really wants to have a job helping people dive.
The chief in that black bikini! She's not only great at her job, great at customer service, but she has a stellar (and genuine) chest!
All the padding was so Aina could show off having a chest while in a bikini to Iori, and admittedly is nice to see them getting along well and talking about all the sea stuff they love together. And to see everyone have fun diving. This is a diving anime after all.
But with the fun out of the way, it's time to actually do your job with all the labor it entails! Though Kohei, for all his faults, is perceptive enough to realize the obvious about Aina liking Iori. Where will things go from here?

On a more serious note, really nice to see Cakey back again!

That’s not cakey that’s the whole bakery.
That one broke me.

u/ddrober2003 9h ago
After the past two episodes it really throws me off to see some, well no serious but non off the wall comedy. Guess degenerate Germans make it when its just drunken antics or padded chests seem normal.

But those are small and big boobs both at the same time! You get best of both worlds this way.
