Seto no Hanayome, Seto no Hanayome OVA
==At the pool from last week==
*A lamia stirs from her slumber on a bench.*
: Yawwwwwnnn. What a good nap. Er, where am I? I remember Darling... Oh! I must have been separated from him while shopping. Where could he be?*She gets off the bench and goes into the city.*
: There he is! DAR~LING! DAR~LING!*Miia waves down her true darling.*
: Miia! Where have you been? It seems you've been gone for a year!: Even a day away from you Darling seems like an eternity. I'm glad that I can see you again!: I'm glad too, now let's go home. I'm sure the other girls will be happy too.: Don't think of the other girls while we're alone like this, Darling.*Miia presses close to Kimihito as the two finally travel home. Meanwhile, in a certain notable hospital.*
: Broken bones in your arms.. legs... I told you that fighting in your state would be too much!
: Teehee. I guess I did go a bit overboard. But it was for Topaz's sake!: *Sigh* As honorable as that is, you have to look out for yourself. Look, even your BUTT has a crack in it!: HA! It's supposed to be there! Besides, I'll be fully healed in no time. Especially if you give me one of those special beans.: Are you crazy? Or have you forgotten the LAST time I gave you beans?: I was hoping that you would have, but it's alright! That Zettai guy totally liked the result!: Fair point, but he's not here and you'll have to heal the old fashioned medicine!: Waiting?: No, magic.: You sure you don't mean you'll look in your CURE-rio, "Curio"...: MMMMMMAGIC?!? But yeah. You should be healed in no time.: That's good. I can't wait to smash some Vajra! And other things, especially if I get a reappearance in the blog.: We can only hope...*Meanwhile, at a certain skull-shaped fortress. A loud beeping noise is ringing through the fortress.*
King: So even Queen has fallen, and to the third savior no less. Not only that but her song-based memory control over the serpent has been voided. I am the only one remaining... Time has now become desperate...
*King hits a switch and turns off the last alarm. After that a heavy door squeaks open and footsteps are heard. Eventually figure enters the room that King is in.*
King: L-LEFT BISHOP! How could I have forgotten! You haven't fought Topaz yet! We still have a chance, for the Chessmasters!
*Left Bishop chuckles.*
L.Bishop: How quaint. You think that I'm still on your side.
King: W-WHAT?
L.Bishop: Wake up, my similarily-voiced "king". The only true ruler of this world is Aldra. You're nothing BUT DUST compared to her strength. Fufufu, "butt dust".
King: Then what are you doing here?
L.Bishop: I had heard what happened to Queen and thought I'd ransack the place. I wasn't expecting YOU to still be here. But no matter, I'll still take what I want and leave. No reason to stay in this sinking ship, after all.
King: Well then, there's no reason for me to keep your codename, now is there... MELONA!
*The bunny-eared slime girl walks into the light.*
: Fufufu, that there isn't. Especially as I was in a different form while rallying Oriha and the others. But I'll keep your identity a secret, let Topaz's reader find out for himself. Though I bet he already has. After all, I met him back in May...King: I knew that you'd betray us somehow. That's why I'll force you to stay HERE!
*King throws a switch, and all the doors and windows get big, steel doors drop over them.*
King: There, now we're both locked in here until Topaz comes. Then we'll defeat him together!
: Like heck I'll serve you. You're of no use to Aldra, and because of that I'll take off right now!King: N-nonsense! Even your "milk" can't break through these doors so I'd love to see you able to escape!
: You think a little something like THAT will keep me here? You're so, so wrong!*Melona goes into goo form and slips through a drain in the floor. King does a dive, but the ooze runs through her fingers to no success.*
King: CURSE YOU MELONA! You traitor! And curse you too Lunar for needing such ridiculous furniture! Now how am I going to defeat Topaz?
*King looks around, looking for something to use. Eventually she sees something and makes a evil smile. The camera closes in on the item, a large flat screen that she's previously used to watch Topaz's battles.*
King: WUHAHAHAHA!
*Topaz is sprawled out on his couch as lazily as possible. He's watching television in a "you work, you lose" shirt. He's so lazy that he's even licking chips off his chest and eating them. Ririchiyo comes bounding in, her finger extended.*
: TOPAZ! This is no way to start out a blog!But we've been so busy recently. Can't we have a break this week or something?
: There's no reason that you should be this tired though! I mean sure, you did defeat Lunar who was the "Queen" of the Chessmasters last week. But it's not like you did anything. Klan in her giantess form did most of the heavy lifting. You didn't even summon her either, so you don't get that excuse!Heh, it was funny when she butt punched Lunar. But thanks for doing the review for me.
: Such trickery! But does this mean that you'll take this blog ser-TOPAZ!*Topaz has two chips in his mouth, imitating a duck bill. Riri slaps them out of his mouth.*
: This is no time to be playing around with food! We've got to get prepared for this week's blog, and there's not even a girl around here! Well, there's me and your other assistants, but still.Don't worry, I'm sure that a girl will be arriving any minute...
*The front door of Topaz's house opens widely.*
Well, at least it isn't the kitchen again...
???: EMPERORTOPAZ! For your wrong doings I shall arrest you!
Arrest me? But I haven't done anything wrong!
: He's not half as perverted as I make him seem! B-but he does like having me sit on his back...???: Making a young girl do such naughty things? Do I have to teach you the rules of society?
Rules... of society? Wait, I recognize that voice!
*The mysterious girl enters Topaz's house.*
MAWARI ZENIGATA!
: That I am, Emperortopaz! And I've come to bring you to justice!That's fine, but hold on a minute...
*Topaz leaves to put on proper clothes. He yells out from his bedroom.*
HEY! Riri! Why don't you start the blog.
: Fine. I guess this IS one of the duties of being an assistant... *Ahem* It looks like...
: Week's girl? What, do you date girls only for a week and then dump them? That's against the rules of society!*Mawari blows her whistle. Topaz makes a loud thud.*
: You alright back there?Yeah, you know how I feel about whistles.
: Yeah, you don't like high pitched noises.Indeed.
*Topaz returns to the living room.*
So why am I getting arrested?
: You tricked my friend Lunar into doing business with a known terrorist group!W-what?!
: If anything she used said group to gang up on Topaz...: So you expect me to believe you two over a close friend of mine?When said close friend is trying to get you to defeat me, yes. She's been with the Chessmasters all year and they've been stalking me!
: Topaz just talks about girls on the internet. Nothing wrong with that I think...: Well, let's just see how "pure" your blogs are by having you do one on ME!That's exactly what I was planning...
Head
Hair: Mawari does have a pretty good hair color, being a nice brown color. Certain images give her a bit of a purple look, but she definitely has brown hair most of the time. Her hair style isn't too impressive, and her biggest weakness is that her hair is really short. Really, her hair barely reaches her shoulders and it does make her look boy-ish (though she's definitely not a reverse trap). It's sort of bob cut-ish, but the bottom is more tapered than that. I do like the hair pin on her left sidebang though. Mawari also has a long middle bang but otherwise her bangs aren't too terrible or outstanding to discuss. Her sidebangs do frame her face well, but all in all she's got a pretty average hairstyle.
Grade: B-
Eyes: Mawari has a pretty strong showing here. While not as sharp as Akeno's eyes she does seem to have a tsurime. Though to be fair the slant inward starts halfway across her eye, giving her a pentagon-like base. It looks unique though not too unique to be bad. It's fortunate as Mawari's eye shape does make the rectangle-shaped pupils this series is known for a bit easier to admire. I will mention that Mawari probably has the best eye COLOR of the main girls. You see, most of the girls match their eye and hair color. And since Mawari's occasionally looks purple this gives her purple eyes. Even when her hair looks brown her eyes have a lovely purple color. I suppose I should mention that in one official art Mawari has yellow sunglasses clipped on her shirt. It's a shame she wasn't wearing them properly!
Grade: B
Face: Unfortunately Mawari suffers somewhat here. Other than her pin (which is more “hair” than face) she really doesn't have much that identifies herself as a unique character. Not that her face is bad, not at all. I really like the art style and the fact that she has a small nose is always a plus. It's just that she almost looks like a background character at times. There's this one image in the manga of the main girls laying on their backs for a “river of brides” and, other than Mawari's pin, you can barely tell who she is. I will add that, at least for the anime, Mawari does look like she has a subtle darker skin tone, as if she was tanner than the rest.
Grade: B
: So what were you watching so intently?Sadly Miyu Matsuki passed away this week so they're doing a special on her characters.
: Sounds interesting. Let's check it out.*The three start watching.*
: Ufufufu. That's it students. Admire your teacher's beautiful bridal outfit all you want! Don't forget to check out my lovely teacherly mature butt, even if I am only seventeen. *The class groans.*
: I'm much better at drawing two guys.. Though I still don't get why aren't you wearing any underwear!: What? And not allow the male students the chance to gaze at my glorious bottom? But you may be correct, I shouldn't tempt them. Their art may suffer, but then again going down the road of becoming an artist is suffering. : Much like being a Puella Magi?: Not quite THAT much suffering...*We cut back to the three at Topaz's.*
: Such naughtiness! Doesn't that teacher realize that her backside is completely exposed?!: This looks more like something I'd read in Zettai's blog. N-not that I read them for my own enjoyment, Katja and Chiaki are f-friends and I want to know what they're up to. (Smooth save there, Riri).Of course. But speaking of blogs we should be getting back to Mawari's.
: That's right, I'm getting more curious with each moment!Body
Build: Mawari is not curvy at all. She's also pretty short, though I can't verify MAL pulling the measurement of “148 cm”, but she is known to be shorter than the rest of the cast (granted Sun and Akeno are both tall girls, but still). Mawari at least looks like a middle school student though, though maybe a bit bustier than usual. Sadly Mawari doesn't have a lot of fanservice, or at least that I can remember, so I have to punish her a bit. She barely even has a feminine curve, which is really a shame. Even worse is that her legs look nearly straight, having almost no curve at all. It's sad when a mermaid, namely Lunar, has better legs than Mawari does.
Grade: C
Breasts: As said before, Mawari is somewhat on the busty side. She does have a fair curve. It's just that Sun and especially Akeno outrank her so much in this regard.
Grade: C
: Meh. I'm glad that I don't look like Akeno. All the boys who stare at her need to learn the rules of society! Besides, my back hurts just thinking about having those lumps of fat!Really? When I think about it my arm starts to hurt.
: That's because you've been watching her under the pretense of “research”.: What? Watching a middle school girl bounce around during gym class? Do I have to teach you the rules of society, you lolicom?I think that, in this case, “lolicom” might not greatly define me...
*Mawari points to Ririchiyo.*
Point taken.
*The scene changes to a police station for humors sake. Mawari places a beef bowl on the table in front of Topaz.*
: Now, tell me about all these interactions with underage girls.A-alright! I got curious about the other girls while researching you. There I saw that Akeno was bouncy during a couple of scenes and checked them out. And I-I, used them for IMMORAL PORPOISES!
*Riri groans off screen, and it's revealed that the police station background is just a pull-down background.*
: That joke was terrible, and really not worth the build up in my opinion.Hey, writing is tough stuff!
: That's no excuse to reveal that you've “flogged your dolphin” to mermaids!: Er, let's get off this topic and get back to the blog.... I have to review my notes.Sounds like a good plan.
*Mawari takes down the police station background.*
Clothes: This might actually be Mawari's strongest area. To be fair she is usually seen in her school uniform. As said before this consists of a white shirt with red collar and cuffs, a red necktie, and a red skirt. It's not exactly the best uniform, but I do like the necktie. Much like a certain club president Mawari also wears a shoulder tag for the discipline association. She also has a police uniform that consists of a blue jacket with gold ornaments, a white button shirt, and a blue skirt with a slit for a belt. She also has a version with shorts and a gunholster, and of course she wears a necktie which. I like a girl in uniform, and Mawari looks really nice. She also wears a maid outfit in the OVA and a naughty kimono in official art. She also has a pretty blue kimono with yellow flowers on it, and seems that in the manga there's a pool chapter so she wears a school swimsuit.
Grade: B+
: This blog is so unfair and biased! Do I need to show you the rules of society?Why do people keep calling it biased? I mean, there are strict guidelines but my personal tastes have improved since the beginning...
: Well, except in ONE area.But I still appreciate flat chests!
: I don't believe you! In fact, let's watch TV to show how unfair you are!That doesn't make sense-
: TURNING ON!*The show continues, with a beautiful kimono girl and a fiery twintail one.*
: My my my. Seems I have become quite lost.
: That you are. And I seem to have lost my voice as well *cough cough*.: *cough* It seems that your illness spread quite quickly. Perhaps by drinking water we can regain them.*The two drink a glass of convenient water. The two continue to cough (though poorly acted).*
: How awful, I'll never make Nyarlko mine at this rate!: Wait! I know how to find out!: Ooh?: That's right! Now, let's see...*Isumi digs around in her sleeves and pulls out an ipad.*
: Let's ask Goofle!*She types frantically against the ipad. It ends up sparking and blowing smoke out the top after turning off for no good reason.*
: Well, that's technology...: Wait! I know how to get a "certain voice" back!: "Certain... voice"?*Isumi tilts her head cutely at Cthuko's odd idea.*
: All we have to do is eat THESE!*Cthuko pulls out two sweet potatoes. She hands one to Isumi.*
: I see now. This potato will surely return my "singing voice"!: Right. But they are quite large and spicy. We should sit down on that convenient bench!*Cthuko points to a bench.*
: That's odd. Is that a face in the bench?: That is just to help support your butt. If it looks like a face it must be the illness getting to you.: Of course, it would be quite unusual for us to sit on a Spanish man's face as he's disguised as a bench.*The two sit down, with the bench making an audible "OOF" from the two slender girls sitting on it. They then start to eat the sweet potatoes, but Topaz turns the TV off.*
Let's respect his privacy...
: See, Topaz does appreciate things like slender girls and his friends!: A likely story! He's obviously being too nice to make up for something awful!Nothing I could do would make up for horrible goons. Though they do make good LPs...
: Huh?: Stop confusing Mawari and get back to her blog!If I must...
Mind
Personality: Mawari is the daughter of a police chief and wants to follow in his footsteps. As such she became a member of the discipline committee and takes it upon herself to be in charge of public morals. She even has a catch phrase of “Do I have to teach you the rules of society?”. Well, to be fair she does use her own name in a third person way, but still. She's easily excited and hyper as well, riding the line between being entertaining and annoying at times. She does tend to be Lawful with great determination, which gets her in trouble with the mostly unlawful yakuza mermaid groups. She keeps them at bay using a whistle to summon cats, though she is unable to control them. It's still funny to see waves of cats pour over people though xD. Fortunately she does stop pressing and trying to find out Sun's secrets after Nagasumi gives her a good talking too, even hiding Sun's fins without realizing it at one point. She also can't swim, if I remember correctly, and she plays Hanafuda with Nagasumi. Her name seems to be a combination of the Lupin chief who also shares the “Zenigata” name (also based on a famous Japanese detective who throws coins), and “Omawari-san” is apparently a polite way of saying “policeman” in Japanese. Though I have to take that second-hand xD. Rika Morinaga, Mawari's VA, is not a very famous one but she does a good job with Mawari. Probably the best-known characters she's done are Kana from Saki and Souseiseki. Mawari's biggest problem here is that she's really quite plain. Not only that but she also tries to keep the piece, which to be fair isn't a bad thing in general, but by doing so she makes the riots even worse by adding a third party.
: That's a Mexican Standoff if I ever heard one!Grade: B-
Libido: Mawari is both good and bad here. You see, she starts as a childhood friend of Nagasumi and develops a crush. She's pretty much the “normal” option so many harems have. I can't be sure for myself, but after some time it seems she gives up when she realizes he's in love with Sun. Hopefully she still tries to be with him too and her story doesn't end there though. That said she's also the discipline person and is one of those “guys thinking of sex should be PUNISHED” types of girls. This is a bad thing, of course. She also drinks a love potion at one point which makes her fall even harder, but I'm not big on mind-altering like that. As far as yuri goes, she did seem to enjoy checking Iin Chiyo's three sizes in the hot springs. That said she's also very against yuri as she sees Sun and Akeno “enduring water” together and, since Nagasumi can't tell her the truth, she sees Akeno as a lesbian. She even thinks that Akeno hits on her at one point.
Grade: B-
Age: Mawari is a middle school student, and like Lunar a few weeks ago she moves up at the end of the series. This probably puts her at about fourteen to fifteen, which isn't that great for my tastes.
Grade: C
Total Grades: 61
Average score: 6.8
Final Grade: B-
: Hmmmm, a fair score but I think I could have done better. But I do see that you're mostly a man on the straight and narrow. Maybe I shouldn't have believed a criminal, but I have to investigate such things.Glad I could help you to prove my own innocence.
: Though you could STILL stand to learn a thing or two about proper society, you couch potato.True, but those things make me me. I can't change them.
: That's a good way of thinking of personality. In fact, I'll allow you to finish your show!*Mawari turns the television back on.*
: (completely monotone) Fufufu! I have captured you, secret agent Anna!
: You'll never get away with this, you dirty magical implement!: (still monotone) Perhaps you should clean me, but you have no use of your arms or feet due to my nefarious trap!: That is alright! I'll just use my-Wait...*Anna looks offscreen, as if looking towards the director.*
: But this seems quite naughty! Eh? Nothing wrong with it, like holding a mushroom? I suppose that is true. *Ahem* Fiendish Sapphire, I shall clean you using my chest!: (continues being monotone) Oh no! If only I was named after this month's birthstone, of November, it would have been much more perfect!: Ohohoho! Prepare to be cleaned and washed thoroughly!*Topaz is drooling somewhat at the TV while Riri and Mawari look at him in disgust. Suddenly the program scrambles and a mysterious figure appears.*
AH! Curse you screamers and jump scares!
???: OHOHOHO! Looks like the Midnight Channel can be activated at all times! But this is a special message to Emperortopaz: You may have defeated Queen and the rest of the Chessmasters, but King still remains!
: Isn't "king" usually reserved for males????: THAT DOESN'T MATTER! But enjoy yourselves, as next week I shall reveal myself and eliminate you!
*The screen goes back to static.*
: That was spooky. Perhaps you weren't lying after all..Glad you see it my way now. But if only we had some type of hint...
: Well, she did mention the "Midnight Channel". Do we know anyone who has experience with something like that?Not off the top of my head.
: You're still thinking of that dumb moment on TV. Pervert.NO!... *Topaz looks to the side.* maybe...
: Hey, I remember a detective that occasionally hangs around the police station talk about something called a "Midnight Channel".Excellent. I'll be sure to do a blog on her next week!
: But he's a guy.: And it's not April.Meh, that doesn't mean we can't talk to "him" still. There's been a few non-trap males that have had pictures. On rare occasions at least. But it seems that next week will be a detective, so be sure to join us!
: Or I'll show you the rules of society!
