Innocent Ringo is innocent.

Oh my, this was definitely my favourite episode so far! It was absolutely hilarious all the way through, and then nearing the end, it made a shocking twist. I never expected this show to get this serious, but surprisingly, it really worked, and I was moved!

This week's episode was based on a Japanese folk tale called The Crane's Repayment, about a man who saves a crane. One day, the crane turns back to him as a beautiful woman, and becomes his wife. The man is poor, but the crane starts weaving cloths with her own feathers for him to sell on the market for high prices, but once the man discovers his true form, she flies away, leaving only her last finished cloth.

This episode was focused around Otsuu-senpai, the maid who had an obsession with returning favors. After being saved by Ryoushi, she decides to return the favor by stalking him, which is a problem to Ryoushi, so Ringo and Ryouko decide to help him. After uncovering the sad truth behind Ostuu-senpai's obsession, Ringo comes up with a plan to help her: They all dress up as maids (YES THE GUYS TOO! 8D) and serve Otsuu-san for a day.

Okay, I laughed a LOT during this episode, but the Hansel & Gretel thing nearly killed me. It turns out that Ryoushi lives with a the student council president and his secretary. In other words, Hansel and his sister Gretel, who, according to the narrator, have already gotten over the fact that they're siblings.

Pfft.

*Bursts out in laughter*

Okay, that was funny.

I really like the way this show is progressing. Even though there doesn't seem to be a real plot, I'm thourouly enjoying the fairytale parodies. I only just noticed that the very title of this show refers to Snow White, and Ringo, apart from Little Red Riding Hood, to the poisoned apple! That must be why she's so evil despite looking so sweet! Brilliant, just brilliant.
