Doujin Work #06 — Najimi’s Rival
August 9th, 2007
The life and times of Kaneru Nitou.
Impressions:
This show is on a pretty steady decline and this episode was no exception. Nitou is just a really boring and lame character. The show already has Najimi… Nitou is basically the same thing, only clumsy and supposedly has large breasts. The animation and art quality also was noticeably pretty awful this week. Ugh.
Summary:
Najimi and Tsuyuri are riding the train for Najimi’s latest “challenge.” Doujin selling is a contest after all, and she’s ecstatic whenever she sells a comic in front of her rival.
We get a brief introduction to everywoman Nitou, salarywoman by day, queen of doujins by night.
Back to Najimi, Justice, and Sora… who is cosplaying as a bee for some reason… Justice thinks back to scarring poor Hoshi with his manga from the last episode. He’s still being possessive over Najimi and trying to get her to stay away from him, but she doesn’t understand him at all.
At the otaku store, Najimi sees a book she was looking for. Nitou also sees it and the two make a play for it and start arguing over who should have it. Nitou offers to Rock Paper Scissors her for it, and despite being slow on the throw, still manages to lose.
Justice and Sora come up to see what the commotion is all about. Nitou finally gets introduced formally to Najimi and her one-man harem. Nitou had heard of Justice and her circle and is a true fan. Najimi senses her feelings and gives her the book, and lets her know that the two are childhood friends, though aren’t in any sort of relationship. Justice is still his usual possessive self though.
Later, they’re all headed over to Nitou’s house to help Najimi and Nitou with their art. Tsuyuri introduces herself, and sincerely compliments Nitou, much to Najimi’s annoyance. Najimi and Nitou then compare art, and both look pretty similarly bad, so Nitou does something creative… and makes a crane out of it.
Justice then dispenses some bullshit zen advice about drawing which everybody says that they understand. Tsuyuri pulls out a subject for them to draw… a frog, which sends Najimi off hiding behind a curtain. The frog meanwhile eats Tsuyuri’s usual bloomer dancer and then hops on her head.
Tsuyuri suddenly sees a bear and points over to it. Not the bear in Midou’s hands… but her collection of bear underwear hanging by the window. Nitou is flustered and knocks down all sorts of things trying to hide it. Embarassed, she ends up going into the other room and dousing herself with water to cool off.
