Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

Impressions/Thoughts:

Yet another character-centric episode and this time it’s Yukari. This episode is basically about her (deceased) older sister and dealing with feelings of worthlessness. Those feelings stem from her trying to “catch up” with her older sister in track (who I assume was outstanding). Of course, Mizuho and everyone else (especially Ichiko) help her overcome her feelings of worthlessness in the end. Overall, it wasn’t one of my favorite episodes but it was good enough for the purpose of following Yukari’s story. One thing that did stick with me through the episode is the interaction between Mizuho and Takako. They seem to be getting more friendly with each passing episode. Makes me wonder how things will go between them in the end, especially with Mariya’s feelings being the subject of the next episode…
