No-rin - ep02

Now with the second half of the introduction, they have Kousaku being appointed as the one to show her around. However what kind of funny is that Kinoshita Ringo is not fooling anyone as who she real is, which makes thing amusing when Kousaku is appointed to show her around because everything he does is over the top. That it will be interesting to see how the show gets Kousaku's character to shift from seeing Ringo as Yuka Kusakabe to connect with her as a real person and not someone put on a pedestal.

Although it is very clear Ringo's reason for coming to this farming school is Kousaku, it is likely that she came her to be closer to him. However it will be interesting to see how she came about this decision, since it is quite likely that she force the school to put her as close to Kousaku as possible. That it probably wasn't the school that decide that he would show her around but Ringo herself that cause this to happen as well as arranging for her to be place in the same dorm as Kousaku. Even-though there are some hints at this fact as he is showing her around, it becomes blatantly obvious when they decide to play the king game. That in the game he keeps getting the king and keeps trying to pick Ringo but Minori is always misleading which result in always picking her until Ringo become the king. That first she bluntly ask what his numbers is so she won't make the mistake that he did. All of this was to have Kousaku call her only by her first name disregarding all formalities.

What didn't make a lot of sense is the whole skit about washing of underwear. How things went from Kousaku helping her out to Minori getting involved. Possibly it was to show the budding love triangle but this building tension was disturbed by Kei invading with his own phlosy on the value of underwear. Then things get strange from there on in, but it seems that they still don't really know how to act around Ringo since a lot of their action seem kind of forced.
