Why can't Ryuu-chan just wear a sailor suit and still be a tomboy at the same time?!
LOL Ataru and Mendou being girly was my favorite scene XD

That ending :3 I really do wonder why she can't just act "normally"...

Well let's see what's next!

Glad to see someone finally helping ryuunosuke into becoming a bit more femine even though she has to realize she just has to be herself.

I'm glad she somewhat reached her goal, especially with that shitty excuse for a father working against her.

masterpiece episode, maybe the best one in the anime to date

Basically an update of My Fair Lady for the 1980s, the plot around Ryuunosuke's convoluted gendering holds up extremely well, a reminder that modern feminist thinking certainly existed in 1980s Japan. Some of the best bits were Moby Dick, Mendou and Ataru in verbal drag, Sakura, the climax at the wrestling ring, and Ryuunosuke herself, of course. ORE WA ONNA DA!

That was quite clever for including a commentary on feminism or girl stereotypes in such wacky comedy show. That bits of girly impression from Mendou and Ataru are just gold.

What a great episode! Its rare that we get one revolving around Onsen and any excuse to have more Ryuunosuke in the show is a plus for me!

Ryuunosuke's dad equipped with the best excuses. When will he learn? XD

Hilarious episode again that was on the full blown parody side. Well meant guidance from Onsen, truly enjoyed the sense-student duo. However, he was also kinda pushy with an orthodox approach. I guess many people, especially nowadays would get pretty offended by such a narrow outlook(thankfully this was adressed as well) I for one think stereotypes or the conventional practice may be a good place to start on the path of becoming a woman(you can still vary a bit here), but ideally Ryuunosuke finds her own way.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

A fantastic Ryuunosuke episode, there were a lot of different views on how a woman should act and I think Mr. Onsen was mostly pushing it too far, like why can’t a woman get excited lol, but in the end he was just trying to help out Ryuunosuke, that ending was wholesome especially because of that.
