Hitohira ep2 - まがい・・・・・・物？
Nono with a charm….

Asai finds herself on the stage and turning around, she saw Nono welocoming her to the Drama Research Club. Waking up from the dream in the storeroom, Asai is still confused and dazed over the day that she signed for the Drama Research Club. Kayo is happy for her though as she believe that this will change her and allow her to overcome her talking difficulty when she is nervous. Kai enters the classroom and tells Asai that there will be a club meeting later on after class.

Asai and Kai went to search for the club room after class, while on the way, Kai apologises that due to her sister, she had to enter the club. Asai and Kai managed to find the club room and to their suprise, the room was awfully small and the club members consist of teh 3 senpai and the 2 freshman - Asai and Kai.

Kai starts to complain and regretted coming to the club…ended up with a whacking from her sister. Nono stops them and welcomes the both of them officially as they manage to fulfil the criteria of club members needed and it was expected that Kai will react this way. Takashi tells Kai to apologise later as this wasnt how Nono is.. (i will save teh explaination on ths..it is very lame :P )

Nono proceeds to explain that they are not a official club, there is another drama club and the both of them will put up a play in october and by voting, the one with the least votes will have to disband the club and they are going to train both Kai and Asai on the stage. Upon hearing this, poor Asai was stunned. The next day, Asai was still dazed over what happened yesterday and without realizing, she slipped and fell…drenched by the rain. A girl approaches her with a umbrella….

The girl is Kanna Chitose, a helpful one who lent Asai her PT attire. After introducing herself, they were spotted by Takashi who grew suspicious as Asai was coming out of the drama club which Asai did not notice. Asai became the outstanding one in class again since she is the only one not in her uniform. After class, Asai followed Chitose to the drama club room to take back her uniform. She spotted Takashi and was charmed by him. (-_-) Nono and Risaki are there as well. The drama club members were nearby as well. The both club leaders exchanged sarcastic remarks at each other. Mirei (the club leader from drama club) commented on the drama research club as imitation. Asai replied softly that they arent and believed in their devotion to the club. Before she could finish her sentence , Risaki grabbed her hand and ran off together.

At the practice, Chitose is there as well…to her charming Takashi. She is ignored by Nono since she is from drama club. Kayo asked if Chitose should the drama research club since her charming prince is here as well. Chitose hesistated and said she is not able to do that. Asai and Kai was told by Nono that they are going to rehearse the vocals .

Poor Asai fell into her own imaginative world again, unable to speak out loud and got into a nervous state….Chitose has a solution for her though, she ask Kai to hold Asai from the back while she tickled her. In the midst of the tickling, Asai couldnt stand it anymore and shouted with her loudest voice ever that suprised the whole lot of them.

Chitose explained that she is participating in a play in May as well and she admits that she is not going to lose to Asai while in her mind, she was very suprised by Asai’s reaction. Nono observed and believed there is more to come from Asai and she wants to see Asai perform on the stage. In a room, Mirei observes…

I like this episode and to add on to that, I like Nono’s character. She has that charm in her that she going all out to train Asai up. Ayako Kawasumi really did a good job as Nono’s seiyuu, bringing her character out to the fullest.

PS: i love hitohira’s ED…. :D
