If i am not wrong, the title means “feeling”. I admit my japanese is not that good (>_<).

Anyway, i am a fan of Ichigo Mashimaro and have been waiting for the OVA since the announcement of the series. I was so happy to finally be able to watch it (even without subs). I am not confident about understanding every part, so forgive me if i make any mistakes.

The episode begins with Nobue waking up feeling good. When Nobue is on the phone, apparently trying to find a job, Miu made her appearance with her usual loud greetings. Soon after Nobue hang up, Chika came to tell Miu to hurry or they will be late for school.

“発射” was written on her forehead meaning “shoot”. I assume Miu did it.
Nobue and Miu were mean enough to tell everyone not to tell Chika about it. Until in school than did she know about the prank and drew the same thing on Miu’s forehead. Miu fooled around with their teacher and got sent out to the corridor again. In the next scene, Nobue tries to fill her scooter’s tank up to 400yen worth of gas, but ends up with 401yen.

In Matsuri and Anna’s class, Anna fell asleep right in front of the teacher’s nose. Matsuri asked the teacher not to wake her and Sasatsuka got punished instead. Miu fell asleep in her class too. However, when Chika tried to wake her up, their teacher told Chika not to wake her up.

After that, Nobue went for her job interview only to find out that Miu messed with her resume. During lunch time, Ana decided to give her bun to Matsuri. While explaining to Matsuri how rice is better than bun, she spoke too loudly and ended up letting everyone know that she is able to speak fluent japanese.

At the same time, Miu tried to trick Chika into looking away so that she can steal Chika’s bun. Along with failure to distract Chika, she lost one of her own bun to Chika. At that moment, Miu recieves a mail with no subject (i am not sure what it is saying but i believe it says something about something Miu have forgotten). It turns out to be Nobue who have came to take revenge on what Miu did to her resume.

After school, they went by the sweet store. Miu made Ana buy some sweets since she had money. Back at home, Nobue went out after reading some incomprehensible manga(really). The girls ends up searching for their names in the dictionary and Miu gave Matsuri and Ana some weird nicknames.

Soon, Matsuri and Ana went home. Nobue, Miu and Chika took bath together and that’s about the end of the episode.

I found this episode very entertaining. The part where Ana spoke to the whole class in japanese is funny, the way she reacted and what happened after that. The story kind of focus on character to character so summarising the it is a bit difficult. フンガー！！
