(Kouten Masa ni Tatsu)
"The Yellow Sky Will Rise Up"
For an episode that revolved almost completely around Simon's Russian sushi restaurant, it wasn't the least bit dull as Kadota eventually directed Masaomi to where he can find out who the leader of Dollars is.

(Momotarou made mo Maid-sama)
"A Maid Even as Momotaro"
In what started out as a full-out omake episode about the Japanese folktale Momotaro, things got pretty wacky and somehow crossed legends with Urashima Taro at one point. With Usui narrating the entire story however, it turned out that this supposed omake wasn't a mere omake after all.
It's not quite Yamada bobbing up and down and trying to seduce Kosuda like there's no tomorrow, but we have Tamura Yukari doing laundry, watering the lawn, and just looking pretty. I don't think I'll ever quite understand what Japanese promo/music video directors are thinking, but they can't be thinking that hard if this is what they come up with more often than not. On the plus side, Yukarin's legs are pretty well accented in those anime-length skirts/dresses she's wearing (i.e. super short ones), which isn't an easy thing to do considering how she's only 157cm tall (~5'2").
More after the jump, including some old school Yamato Nadeshiko...

(Yabo de Gozatta)
"That Was Thoughtless of Me"
I can't say I'm too surprised that Yaichi has a past with another gang, but I am curious as to whether or not this Bakuro group lead by Kuhei has any relation to the guys that kidnapped Seinoshin and faked his death.

(Sonna! Minna no Miteru Mae de... Kirai Nante Ittenai Jan... Aki)
"No Way! In Front of Everyone to See... I Never Said I Hate You..."
If Kosuda's last minute confession from a fleeting train wasn't clear enough to Yamada, the one he screamed out at the top of his lungs in front of everyone in class sure as hell was.

Freedom
It's not every day you see such a strong depiction of self-sacrifice to help friends, but RAINBOW is taking tops in that regard with Mario and the others' attempt to escape prison and save An-chan's life. They don't all make it though, so I fear the worst for those who were left behind.

(Mayoi Neko, Nuita)
"Stray Cat, Pulled Out"
Leave it up to Chise to use her Umenomori wealth to rip off the game of Jenga, add in a bunch of semi-erotic stipulations on the blocks (e.g. cosplay), and rename it Power Blocks for her personal enjoyment. Remember when this show was about the hardships of being an orphan and the love square that develops? Because I sure don't.

(Shinro!)
"Career!"
I more or less figured Yui would be lost about what she wants to do upon graduation, but I totally overlooked Ritsu being pretty much the same way.
