Shoujo Sundae Shoujo Sundae

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes seven through ten of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode seven, Sutezo’s profound love for his daughter tugs heartstrings. Arikoto’s and Sutezo’s first time meeting is uncomfortable to say the least. It is heartbreaking to see Arikoto’s rage and depression after everything he’s been through. In episode eight - Gyokuei, more like Gyoku-gay, am I right? There’s something very funny about Iemistu and Gyokeui getting it on for Arikoto’s sake. In episode nine, neither Chika nor Giana attempt to sugar coat the way they are ROOTING for Kasuga’s impending death. Sutezo’s passing was a devastating situation all around. In episode ten, the loose ties and unanswered questions leave much to be desired with the finale of Ooku: The Inner Chambers.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Giana, Chika, and Rachel the Shoujo Scholar review episodes four through six of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode four, you can tell by the tone of our Floats Your Boat that this episode was going to hurt us deeply. Waka Murasaki meets a terrible fate, forcing Giana to hate Gyokuei with no hope for redemption. Rachel points out the interesting role reversal between Arikoto and Iemitsu. In episode five, Arikoto provides the ultimate fan service for bi individuals everywhere. Chika makes an interesting connection between Arikoto’s switch in devotion from Buddha to Iemitsu with cults. The question is raised: Why hasn’t Iemitsu simply killed Kasuga? Iemitsu’s painful past stirs up empathy for her. In episode six, Kasuga’s state of health brightens everyone’s spirits. Sutezo’s arrival shakes things up for Arikoto and Iemitsu.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika, Giana, and Colleen of Colleen’s Manga Recs review episodes one through three of Ooku: The Inner Chambers. In episode one, Mizuno’s story is a mesmerizing one to follow. Yoshimune’s approach as Shogun is praised. The darkness woven throughout the Ooku is both intriguing and disturbing. In episode two, we meet the sweet and responsible Arikoto, whose life is forever changed upon “visiting” the Ooku. We also meet Lady Kasuga, who makes a permanent home in Hot Fudge after forcing Arikoto to stay at the Ooku by literally any means possible. In episode three, we learn more about Iemistu and Arikoto’s life at the Ooku. Iemitsu’s gift of a white cat to Arikoto at the end of the episode stirs up some both serious and extremely unserious Sprinkles on Top. Gyokuei’s character is lightly analyzed and Kasuga is roasted yet again.

In this episode of Shoujo Sundae, Chika and Giana review episodes ten to twelve of My Happy Marriage. In episode ten, Kudo is commended for his passion and determination to stay by Miyo’s side. It was quite a shock to learn that Miyo had more immediate family, and also Arata’s weapon of choice in his duel with Kudo. Miyo’s dishonesty with Kudo upsets both Chika and Giana. In episode eleven, Giana shows appreciation for Miyo’s courage to stand up to Arata, even in small ways. Chika advises Miyo to not automatically follow the orders of her grandfather that she’s never met. Surprisingly we have... spanking? in My Happy Marriage? In episode twelve, Miyo not only finds healing through her powers, but saves Kudo. The lack of a kiss between Miyo and Kudo stirs up some frustration. The Emperor’s motive is confusing to say the least.
