Shinryaku! Ika Musume – 07

"Oogly boogly boo! Fear me!"

(Nerawarenai ka? / Kenkyuu Shinai ka? / Hatarakanai ka?)
"Aren't I Being Targeted? / Won't You Research? / Won't You Work?

Nagisa tries to foil Ika's invasion, Cyndi puts Ika under the microscope, and the fake squid girl returns as the newest Lemon employee. It may not sound like much on paper -- much like the idea of a squid girl doesn't -- but it's a whole bucket of laughs in execution.

Yosuga no Sora – 07

(Tsumi na Otomera)
"Sinful Maidens"

With Kazuha and Akira's routes wrapped up, the series takes us all the way back to the end of episode one to explore a couple of other possibilities, namely Nao and Sora. As the shared episode between their routes, this was mostly about Nao and much less so Sora, which may explain why Haru's twin sister will be getting five episodes to tell her story.

Bakuman. – 07

(Namida to Namida)
"Tears and Tears"

Bakuman takes a refreshing turn this week, deciding to focus on Mashiro and Azukis ever confusing and "drive me insane" relationship. As Ive said week in and week out, its been killing me inside knowing that Mashiro still doesn't know Azukis e-mail address.

"There's No Way My Sister is That Much of a Novelist"

You know how you sometimes get into an discussion with someone who seems to be beyond reason and start wishing for a gun so you can either shoot them or yourself? Well I felt sorry for Kuroneko this week as she had to deal with just that in Kirino, the self-proclaimed best novelist that has yet to be discovered.

Tegami Bachi REVERSE – 07

The nameless girl soon receives the name Roda from Gauche, indicating that the latter hasn't lost all his memories just yet.

Film noir

The search for Gauche is underway and Lag is sent up north to the town of Blue Notes Blue to look for him. However, upon stumbling on some clues, he uses his Akabari to find out more on how Gauche ended up with Reverse, while Zazie has the unfortunate pleasure of running into the man himself.
