Lemon Angel Project - 03

More of Yuuki and less of Tomonologues = better episode!



The competition is underway for the next Lemon Angel - mark 2! Where there are many girls wearing nothing much, there is fanservice! Within the first minute of this episode as well! But let's just be thankful that none of it was focused on Tomo! That's right, they have to pose in their swim outfits for the camera. Tomo is up first and does a *fantastic* job posing in the most idiotic way possible, even the gay photographer had to agree to a 5 minute break. Erica tries to cheer up Tomo afterwards as everyone is laughing at her - then Yuuki gives her a rival pep talk! :o She then proceeds to pose in a more sexy and alluring manner, which all 'Pros' in the business know about apparently!
However, Yuuki's old manager has other plans than letting his most valuable 'body' get away! He still envisions Yuuki to become Japan's number one Playboy model and points out that her contract has not expired with his company. Therefore - Yuuki cannot join Lemon Angel! As he leaves in his limo, Yuuki is left feeling more crushed and especially newbie Tomo is even feeling sorry for her. But eventually they come up with a plan!



Yuuki, Tomo and Erica (In a ninja outfit!) plan to break into the boss's headquaters and rip up that nasty contract! So they just talk to the warden in building and they go through the front door! And here I was thinking that a break in was supposed to be smashing a window and sneaking in? Oh well!
Eventually, they 'sneak' up to the main office and spot the boss's secretary named Keiko. It seems Keiko was trying to help Yuuki from avoiding those sleazy jobs and told her to go for her dreams. Aww ;) She helps them unlock the uber-secret-safe in the office..but the contact is not there? *gasp* Yuuki's manager appears like magic with the contact and laughs evily, but Yuuki gives him a good kick where it hurts and rips up the contact! Even his braindead bodyguard gets outdone by Tomo and Erica (which is amazing in itself!). It's only when Keiko threatens the manager about exposing an affair to his wife, that he gives up on Yuuki - but fires them both.
And so the day ends on a happier note! Yuuki can go for Lemon Angel and Keiko although fired, was glad she helped out Yuuki! Even Tomo is surpised when Yuuki calls her by her first name! The rivals are now friends who are rivals!



Glad to see there was a bit less of annoying Tomo in this episode and amazingly it has improved slightly because of it! A much more entertaining episode and with a bit more angst and rivalry, it might be able to be better than the run-of-the-mill average anime!

Overall: 6.5/10

Whatever happened to Goth Loli? :o
