Summary:
Naeka is having a rough day, as she accidentally bends the special whistle (Kinkou) and then does extremely poorly on her math midterm. Izumi Eiko scores 78, Hirano Miwa scores 65, but Naeka only gets a 30 and has to retake the midterm. If Naeka cannot score above a 60 on the make-up test, however, she is off the kendo team till finals, and her “flat-chested” friends will sell her off to the male kendo team for 10 million yen.
Unfortunately, Professor SHINAIder ran some tests half a century ago, and discovered that there is an inverse relationship between math aptitude and bust size. No matter what the one-time MIT professor Kogarashi tries, Naeka is unable to learn math. The energy drink is rejected as fattening, Naeka is convinced that 1+1=3, Naeka is unable to memorize the wonderful Maid Guy Copy printouts, and Naeka’s brain has too little storage space for Kogarashi to upload his math information directly into her brain. In the end, Kogarashi brings out a steel breastplate to tame Naeka’s jugs, but the breastplate bursts at the seams during the test.
Reaction:
So did Naeka pass? She should have had Kogarashi quickly cheat and write all the correct answers. I liked the setup in this episode, and the premise was so sexist and outrageous that it really tickled my fancy. In fact, it was a great deal less boring than Lawrence’s soporific economics lectures. I also really enjoyed the various Kogarashi USB tricks, and they looked very handy indeed.
Too bad we didn’t get to see any kendo action this time, but at least we got some names for Naeka’s fellow kendoka (including club president Naitou). Speaking of kendo, I loved Professor SHINAIder’s theory, because the thing about nutrients to the brain is just the sort of pseudoscience that people need to push a myth along. Even Fubuki agrees!

The best part of the episode had to be when they went into explanation on the Professor’s law. IT MUST BE TRUE!
