Man, Yoshino went all anime on the newpaper girl this episode, and the artwork for that sequence was straight out of Sailor Moon for at least twelve frames.
Okay, quick review. Our heroine, Yumi, is the "little sister" of (and desperately infatuated with) Sachiko, a junior, who in turn is the "little sister" of Rosa Chenesis, a member of the student council. In this episode, Valentines day is approaching and the school newspaper is sponsoring a contest with cards hidden around the school. The big prizes are dates with the junior members of the student council. Yoshino, who's a little sister to one of those girls, is completely opposed. All of the first-year girls are now tearing up the school, looking for those cards.
This is a "lighter" episode, after last week's, which was heavy duty stuff. Episode six also had the infamous "height of fanservice" moment... which was not only not very fanservicy, but I would never have anticipated it in a million years. Nice twisty ending.
