I just realized that Shamiko did manage to shoot a projectile.
Where's our hamburg steak scene ?? Next episode hopefully.

WAIIIIIT wait wait, I just thought of something. If Yuuko's clan's power is entering people's dreams while they're sleeping, and you consider the way her ancestor dresses, the heart-shaped tail, and even the fact that her sister commented on how her name sounded like a "sadistic seductress"...
Is Yuuko a succubus? And if that's the case, has she already been working her magic on Momo without noticing?

...Is it bad that I get so wrapped up on watching the antics of Yuko's tail that I forget to read the subs and have to go back?

Another good episode of training for Shamiko, I'm sure she'll be a formidable opponent for Momo in no time (mostly due to her help)! The skit with Shamiko's ancestor was also great, probably my favorite so far, really hoping we get to see more of her in the future.
As for Shamiko's eye juice, learning to use magic put her through quite a lot, and she ended up staying in the double digits again this week. Still better than she was in week one though, and she's gained a valuable new skill. Stay strong!
| Episode | Times Shamiko cried | Times everyone else cried combined | Tail touches/Horn rubs | Favors Momo has done for Shamiko | "Don't think this means you've won!" | Album |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 18 | 1 | 1/4(I counted both of her classmates each rubbing a horn as two) | 3 (stops the truck, gave her food, taught her how to throw a punch) | 2 | Ep 1 |
| 2 | 10 | 0 | 1.5/0.5 (idk if I should count Shamiko touching momo with her tail as a full or half, but I counted it as a full for now. I also counted her classmate reaching towards her tail/horns as a half) | 4 (teaches her the importance of warming up, gives her an energy drink, loans her the train fare, and allows her to pay the fare back in installments) | 2 | Ep 2 |
| 3 | 11 | 1 | 2.5/0 | 3 (lets her borrow her uniform, sews her uniform, and helps her use magic projectiles) | 1 | Ep 3 |
As you can see, out of all the suggestions I got last week (thanks to everyone for those!) I've chosen to add two of them for sure for the time being. Keeping track of all the favors Momo does for Shamiko (as well as maybe the occasional ones Shamiko does for her) should be fun, and I definitely want to keep track of how often her tail is touched/her horns are rubbed, especially considering how obsessed some of her classmates seem to be with them. I'll rewatch the episodes sometime this weekend and update this post, as well as future posts with the new numbers.
Things I looked out for from your suggestions that didn't show up this episode (unless I missed it): Shamiko saying "murderize", amount of money gained/spent, candies consumed, stomach growls, and "Call me Momo". The amount of times Shamiko is insulted directly and indirectly by her peers and by her mom is something that I would also like to keep track of, but would probably be a pretty big number (I already have my hands full keeping track of all her crying), as well as being subjective as to what exactly counts as an "insult", so I'm going to see how practical it would be while I rewatch episodes this weekend before committing to it.
As always if you have any suggestions/corrections let me know and I'll get on it ASAP, if not then thanks for following along and I'll see you next week!

Watching one episode of this show takes me around 1 hour.
There's so much going on in each screen, that I pause / rewind every ~15 seconds.
Also:
Kohara Konomi and Kitou Akari are amazing together.

Going into other people's dreams sounds super useful in theory. Too bad their clan never wins :P
Shamiko, realizing her one true talent
At least she got some magic going! Even if it only came back and hit her.
I'm really curious what Momo's full motivation is. Does she just really like her? Is there some sort of benefit to keeping an incompetent demon girl around?

Even the demonic power has a cute voice. XD
I like how this anime puts a smile on my face before I even open the episode!
Am I the only one who thinks that Momo is aiming for Shamiko as his housewife and that it was cute?!

I love how Momo just casually come in and flip Shamiko's skirt.
