Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai – 06

Kirino didn't have a lot of screen time in this one, but this more than made up for it.

"There's No Way My Childhood Friend is This Cute"

As the title suggests, we have an episode on plain old Manami this week that depicts how she'd probably be the perfect match for Kyousuke. Together, they'd probably make one of the dullest couples ever (albeit most normal), which was made plainly obvious when her grandparents showed that they have more youth in them than they do. In the case of an age identity crisis, we have young geezers and old teenagers mixing things, and not a whole lot in the younger sister department.

"Carrot and Stick"

I really didnt know what to expect when our dynamic duo arrived at the offices of Shounen Jump Jack. I really didnt give it a lot of thought whether or not their manuscript would really be good enough to become an instant hit. Seeing how this is a shounen, I should have already came to the conclusion that there wasn't enough leveling up growth yet. When they finally presented the manuscript to Shounen Jack editor Hattori Akira (Tone Kentarou) for judgment though, I was sorta surprised.

"Devotion is Eternal"

Following the revelation of Koudou's demon revival plans and the departure of Nagakura and Harada, the situation only gets worse for the Shinsengumi. Amagiri explains to Saitou that Rasetsu destroy themselves by expending all their life energy over a short period of time, prompting Hijikata to forbid the further use of Ochimizu to expand their secret unit.
