Assuming Mira and Shoin came out of a love hotel together may have finally broken Miyasaka...his cooking is weak, he's obsessed with squids and won't stop making squid puns. It's not a pretty sight
.
Cultured Miyasaka loving short hair though! I guess Mira's counts since it doesn't really go past her shoulders
?
Well, nice of Matsubara to try to set him up with one of her co-workers so he can get his mind off of Mira, but he's in such a crazy funk now that he thinks she's scamming him, makes off with a squid pun, and then makes a potato face Mira
.
On Mira's part, she absolutely loves gushing about his food and wants Shoin to try it out, and she seems genuinely concerned about him...more than she is about her own mission and duties to Planet Wid, which Shoin seems to realize
.
Naosuke playing wingman for Aoi to get Takumi as far away from Mira as possible, even playing disembodied voice to get her to cut her hair to Miyaska's preferred length
.
I guess Wakabayshi CAN be a decent father when he sets his mind to it, being concerned about his son, getting drunk and getting into hijinks with the rest of the guys, assuming Ren bought his first porn mag...typical dad stuff
.
It wasn't what Ren was after at all, but I imagine naked Matsubara fresh from the bath will be something that stays with him
.
It's like the Planet Hub robot saw all the squid jokes and decided to unleash it's own liquid squid to continue their plot. And they look like they're far from done
Ren's not crushing on a girl or an underwear thief...he just wants to wear cute skirts! And Matsubara is happy to give it to him if he asks, though his dad doesn't want Ren to be as ostracized or judged as much as he is as a jobless bum. Even mentions the mom for the first time (and it sounds like she's deceased). Good thing Mira is there to smooth things over and let Ren do what he wants to do, like she is now on Earth
.
Aoi looks really cute in her new haircut and in some nicer clothes! And the nosy neighbor actually helps out by making Miyasaka run away with her by holding her hand
!
And of course they just so happen to run into Mira and Shoin at the "love hotel," which isn't a love hotel at all but Shoin's home base! They didn't even know what a love hotel is! But now Miyasaka AND Mira are concerned about each others' relationship with someone of the opposite sex
.
Tasuke had a connection to Mira's mother? Possibly a romantic one at that? And of course just in time for Miyasaka to walk in asking for clarification of Mira's marital status just as a holographic message from her mom pops up. Is the cat finally out of the bag
?
