This episode is centered around
Kisaragi. ^_^
We find out that when Kisaragi was little, she had a childhood friend, Kanna.
Kisaragi and Kanna were going to take over the world, but then Kisaragi met
Chitose. At that point, Kisaragi wanted to do something that didn't need a
reason to do. According to her, "There is no reason needed to love
another person. That's what it means to be a mother." So, Kisaragi
became a mother to Chitose and gave up world domination.

Shoju's Rating: 9/10 - An episode centered around one of my two favorite
characters from Happy Lesson...of course it's biased. :P

This episode was centered around Mina. The
school is having a competition with the school being divided into the 'White'
and 'Red' teams. Mutsuki and Uzuki are on the White team with Chitose.
Satsuki, Kisaragi, and Mina are on the Red team. Fumitsuki signs Chitose
up for every event. Mina decides that she wants to make Chitose MVP of the
competition. Satsuki and Kisaragi find out and decide to help.
Musuki and Uzuki also end up trying to help, but all of them screw something up
and makes Chitose lose each event. Chitose tells Mina that she should just
try her best, and she does in a relay race. However, she barely loses the
race. Chitose says she did good, and she is happy.

Shoju's Rating: 9/10 - It was very nice to see Kisaragi and Satsuki working
together. :) Good comedy and small doses of ecchi makes this episode
nice. Yazakura making a small cameo is the only thing I find
unpleasant. They should center an episode around Yazakura. :P

Uzuki is at the center of this episode. She
meets a young boy named Kenta. He thinks she is an angel because of her
wings. He wants to have at least one of her wings, but she won't give one
to him. She decides that she will play with him instead, and she plays
with him everyday. One day, it rains and when she goes to meet him, he
says he won't be able to play any more. He then disappears and Chitose and
Uzuki find out that he had a disease and died already.

Shoju's Rating: 2/10 - Never liked this mom. Only thing I found somewhat
pleasant was at the end of the episode. Uzuki hugs Chitose and says that
for that day, she will be a crybaby.

A Hazuki episode! ^_^ She has a concert at a
famous music center. It was her childhood
dream to sing there, and she got to fulfill
it. After the concert she makes a decision to
retire. She tells everyone the next day at
Chitose's house. Chitose is the only one who
thinks she is making a mistake. Everyone else
supports her decision and they all go out to
shop. The day after, Hazuki wakes up and sees
that everyone has left for school. She reads
all her fashion magazines and plays games for the
next few days. One day, she decides to go to
school and she listens to the Mother's lectures in
class. She goes to a bridge and Chitose
follows her. Hazuki says she is just a burden,
and she says she should go somewhere far away.
Chitose says that she shouldn't decide on things
like that on her own. She starts crying and
hugs Chitose. The mothers ask Mina to go check
on Chitose and Hazuki. Kisaragi says that it's
easy to find them and holds up a tracking
device. Chitose and Hazuki are then seen
watching kids from the bridge. She then
remembers that when they were little, Hazuki sang to
Chitose and Mina to make them happy. Mina
comes running and tells them to come home.
Hazuki then says to herself that she has found 'her
song.' They go back and have dinner.

Shoju's Rating: 10/10 - Hazuki being the main
focus in this episode makes this an outstanding episode. It was cute when
she started to cry. =D

Oh yea! Another episode centered on Kisaragi!
She has a huge machine in the living room. She
is going to do an experiment on herself.
Everyone watches as she starts the experiment.
The machine is hit by lightning and Kisaragi hits a
button. The room turns white and Kisaragi ends
up on the floor. She wakes up and she thinks
the experiment failed. The next day she is
acting like Yayoi. When school starts and the
rush of 'sick' students begin, they find Kisaragi
where Yayoi should be. Yayoi is standing
outside and asking herself if that is what she looks
like when she's working. The students say that
is true, but they will always love
Yayoi-sensei. Then some students say that
Kisaragi has perfectly imitated Yayoi's adult charm,
and suddenly everyone wants to see her. Fumitsuki
shows up and punches everyone out of the
way. Yayoi tells Kisaragi that she should go
to her class and she does. Kanna shows up and
tries to take Chitose by netting him. Kisaragi
cuts the net and Kanna falls on a tree branch.
At home, everyone realizes that the experiment is
the cause of Kisaragi's 'weird' actions.
Because it is caused by an experiment, everyone but
Chitose relaxes. The next day, she acts like
Satsuki and wakes up Chitose with Satsuki's 'bosom
death hold.' Kisaragi is making everyone run
when Kanna shows up and ropes Chitose. She
asks him if they should go for a walk, but Kisaragi
shows up and spins her away like a helicopter.
The next day she acts like Uzuki. Then the
next day finally, she acts like Musuki.
Kisaragi catches Chitose cutting class and persuades
him to go back to class. While going back, he
finds Kanna on the floor. They go outside and
Chitose tells Kanna all about Kisaragi's
experiment. Kisaragi then finds them and
punishes them with lots of work. That night,
Kisaragi comes into the living room after a bath and
finds that Chitose is not sleeping. She finds
him on the roof and puts a blanket on him.
Chitose then ask why she did this experiment.
She says that this is a personality
simulation. She wants to be the perfect mother
by feeling what the other mothers can do. She
says that she is the only mother who doesn't do
anything. She says that becoming the perfect
mother is her goal. Chitose says that he
doesn't need a perfect mother. He also says
that there is no point if there is no Kisaragi-mama,
and he says that she should turn back to
normal. Kisaragi then uses the machine to turn
back to normal, but everyone else switches bodies.

Shoju's Rating: 10/10 - Kisaragi acting like
Satsuki is more than enough to make this episode outstanding. Kisaragi
wanting to be a perfect mother to Chitose was also sweet.

There is a festival at Chitose's school.
Chitose is looking around when a firework missile,
shot by Kisaragi, ends up hitting him. Fumitsuki
comes dragging Chitose back to work. Kanna
shows up in a blonde wig and schoolgirl
uniform. Satsuki and Uzuki go tell Mutsuki
about Uzuki's Cosplay show. Satsuki and Uzuki
get in a fight about Satsuki's event. Back at
the horror house, Fumitsuki changes into her costume
and Chitose changes into a werewolf costume. Fumitsuki
starts thinking that with all the confusion going
on, it would be a good time to confess her love to
Chitose. She tries asking him if there is any
girl he likes, but guy 'B' and 'C' show up
instead. Fumitsuki goes off looking for
Chitose again. Chitose arrives just in time to
see Uzuki's Cosplay show. Hazuki shows up
also.
Chitose is then called to metallic Buddah. It
is really a trap so Kisaragi can use him in her
show. She transforms him into a frog and back
to his regular self quickly. Kanna shows up
and snatches him. She is dragging him through
the hallway when Mina shows up. Kanna gets
really happy when Chitose tells her to let him go
becasue he says her name without a suffix.
Kanna and Mina then greet each other. Kisaragi
comes and Kanna quickly escapes. Kanna comes
to Satsuki's Synchronized Swimming show. Kanna
tries running, but she slips into the pool.
However, she is wearing special bug-feet shoes that
allow her to walk on the water. Kisaragi comes
and frees Chitose from the net. Satsuki grabs
Kanna, but she slips through and leaves through a
window. Fumitsuki then sees a game that she
thinks is perfect to find out Chitose's feelings
about her. Kanna sees it also, and she also
decides to join the game. Chitose is then seen
eating with Yayoi and Mutsuki. Yayoi and
Mutsuki then go off to that game while Chitose rest
there. Fumitsuki and Mina show up, however,
and persuade him to join the game. He is the
only guy there. All the teachers, Mina, Fumitsuki,
and Kanna are the other contestants. When it
is time to choose his 'match' Kanna makes him push
all the buttons. Fumitsuki drags Chitose back
to the horror house. The teachers and Mina
then decide to go check on Chitose. While they
talk to Chitose, Fumitsuki overhears them. She
hears that the teachers are living with Chitose.

Shoju's Rating: 8/10 - It's has a very nice cliffhanger
ending. I loved the segment where Chitose had to choose one of the
contestants.

Fumitsuki is thinking about Chitose and the
teacher's secret. She has to find out before
she confesses her love to Chitose. Everyone
then goes to watch Hazuki's concert. After the
concert, all the teachers are congratulating her and
Fumitsuki spies on them. Fumitsuki is
bewildered as she thinks about Chitose's current
situation. The next day, Fumitsuki asks Mina
if Chitose lives with anyone. Mina says he
lives alone, and Fumitsuki quickly ends the
conversation. She then says that the idea of
teachers living with him is wrong. Fumitsuki
tries following him, but looses him when he goes on
a bus. Fumitsuki then sees Kanna and decides
to follow her instead. Kanna leads her right
to his house. Chitose is at Hazuki's apartment
to pick up Mina, so no one is at his house. Fumitsuki
goes in, and right behind her, come the moms.
The moms see that the door is open and discuss who
didn't lock it. Fumitsuki panics and falls
through one of Kisaragi's holes. She lands
behind a sofa and becomes unconscious. When
she wakes up, everyone is preparing for the
party. She overhears them talk, and she
confirms that the teachers are living with Chitose.
The moms leave the room, and Fumitsuki is able to
get outside. She sees Chitose, Hazuki, and
Mina walking and goes hide. After they go in
the house, she leaves. Inside, Mina tells
everyone what Fumitsuki asked her earlier.
While everyone is partying, Fumitsuki thinks about
what to do. While Chitose feeds the fish, he
finds a toy, he gave to Fumitsuki, behind the
sofa. The next day, Fumitsuki brings him to a
bench by a lake. There, she tells him that she
knows his secret. He talks about it with the
moms and they think they should move out. The
next day, Fumitsuki begins acting weird around the
moms. The moms then pack up their things and
get ready to move out. The next day, Chitose
gives back the toy and they go talk. Chitose
begs Fumitsuki not to tell anyone. She
explains that everyone has secrets, and hers is that
she likes him. Chitose is suprised. The
teachers show up and spy on them. Fumitsuki
and Chitose share a 'moment' and then Kanna shows
up. She launches an electrical net at them and
shocks them both. The moms run down and check
on them, and it seems that they have forgotten about
what has happened. Fumitsuki leaves saying
Chitose should take her to a resturant. The
moms thank Kanna. Kanna is confused and throws
a few bombs and leaves. Kisaragi says that she
will forgive Kanna this time for wetting them
all. They all go home and unpack.
Mutsuki says that the 'Happy Lesson' won't end just
yet.

Shoju's Rating: 8/10 - Fumitsuki wasn't going to tell
about Chitose's secret. I think they should have just kept their
memories. However, the ending was okay. This anime is like many
others in the sense that I want to see more. =)
