“Unhappiness is embarrassing”

This episode was remarkably boring to look at. Otherwise, it was generally pleasant if nothing special – but I will admit that the “Let’s use the internet!” sequence was great.

In this episode Karin realises that to stop her nosebleeds around Kenta, all she has to do is make him happy. In the end, her deeply philosophical answer to the question “what is happiness?” solves the problem for everyone.

There’s not a lot to say about this episode, slow as it is and lacking in comedy as it is. I realised that happiness is a transient emotion and, while you can be a fundamentally happy person, it’s natural to become slightly depressed or have a crack in your armour
I think that Fumio can’t stay like this forever – if she just becomes a typical ditz, I’m not going to be happy with her.

Karin is only mildly pleasant; I need a bit more entertainment to justify its continued existence.
