More random escapades with Mika-sensei and Co! No leaf is left unturned with her wacky students, as they go through 'normal' Japanese school life! Picking up where the last volume left off, it's now the end of the summer holidays and everyone is back to school. Kobayashi, Suetake and Old Man have turned brown overnight and brag about their tans to the class. Watabe is looking more pasty white as no one bothered to even buy his masterpiece of a manga nicely named: Cat Girls In Space. Meanwhile Kitagawa and Kudo (The gay girl and boy) respectively go back to drooling over their idols of worship FTW! Looks like everything is back to normal then!



Schooltime quickly passes to Autumn and everyone is getting ready for the Culture Festival. Of course the class run through some ideas: Beauty contests (Kitagawa for Mika-sensei) Fortune Telling (Seki's great idea to touch the hands of girls) and a Mangathon (Watabe). But Mika-sensei decides on a typical class play of Snow White. Not to say the lead parts are as unconvential as always, with Kudo playing Snow White and his love Suetake playing the Prince! No wonder the girls from the other classes want to witness the gay duo! But it turns out to be better than last year at least! Watabe on the other hand, manages to save his Manga club (he is the only member) by recruting a first year named Nakayama who is crap at drawing.



Winter arrives eventually and everyone is thinking about Christmas presents! There's a party in Tomininga's Mansion and surprisingly the queen of put-downs invites everyone, including Mika-sensei! Seki isn't dressed up as a girl for once but loves himself anyway, as he dishes out the presents at the party. Kitagawa manages to torture Mika-sensei as usual, to get her to eat more chocolate and Kobayashi gets jealous of the two manga-ka geeks (Watabe and Nakayama) who seem to be more in love than she is with money! New Year's day arrives as well and Kitagawa goes to Mika-sensei's house especially to invite her out with everyone else. Mika's mother dresses her up in a kimino and Kitagawa mentions that she can help with untying Mika-sensei's kimono! ;)
The last episode on the DVD deals with Valtentine's day and all the usual gags are there: Kitagawa making home made chocolates for her favourite teacher, Kudo trying to give his chooclates to Suetake and Seki trying to get any at all! I likes this episode best as it has more Kitagawa moments that the rest!



The episodes are more varied than Vol 1, but the episodes I feel, were not as good! Still, it's an enjoyable ride to be part of Mika-sensei's class! The lack of Kitagawa will hopefully improve as well, I'm biased. ;) Thumbs up for the dub as well! It does the job!
DVD extras: Geneon Trailers, Textless and Original ending. Only the barebones I'm afraid!

Overall: 7.5/10

I'll end with the best quote from Seki: "Why settle for something sweet, when you can have something spicy!"
