I am to give birth to Kuhouin children

Once again, I am late in my Kure-nai post, but I have a new job at a daycare (truth) and am currently feeling a little bit ill (lie); with those two things I demand that you cut me some slack.

Yes, I know that Kure-nai 10 has already been released, so expect to see that up here later today or within the next two weeks.

This episode shows the long awaited arrival of the Kuhouins. They don’t show up to take Murasaki away till the end of the episode, but you anticipate the action throughout the duration. Only problem is, “Can Shinkurou handle who they send at him?”

Summary:

Shinkurou and Murasaki have been separated; Shinkurou is with Benika, and Murasaki is with Yayoi. Neither of the adults can find anything to please their guests. Shinkurou goes on about how he might not be able to handle the job and wonders why he even had it in the first place. All of his mistakes were predicted by Benika though. Shinkurou, still confused about what Ginko had told him, inquires wheteher Murasaki is really a Kuhouin and after some explaining about the inner functions of the Kuhouin marital system, Shinkurou is ready to get back on the job and protect Murasaki.

Those inner workings are kinda messed up. Basically, only boys matter in the Kuhouin family. When a girl is born, she is put in the inner sanctuary. Whenever a Kuhouin girl is 13, she is considered an adult and can be used to make babies for Kuhouin men. The girls’ sole purpose is baby-makin’. Whenever they give a baby to one of the guys, that man will take a wife in order to cover up the whole event to the outside world, and that baby will be named as the wife’s child. Simple and twisted enough. (desires to go search for a Kuhouin doujin)

The plan is for the two of them to leave the country the following day, but Shinkurou requests that they return to Samidare apartments so that Murasaki and he can say their goodbyes. Yayoi, once again is smartly against it, but Benika wants to indulge her pupil’s one request. They head back to the apartments, with Yayoi on guard outside as always, and have a small dinner party with Yamie and Tamaki. Shinkuou decided to splurge and buy some nicer meat for their meal (shimofuri). After their lovely meal, they call it a night and say they will see each other tomorrow, but Yamie notices something strange in it all. Shinkurou was being generous with food and Murasaki seemed especially sad when Tamaki said “See you tomorrow.”

Benika sneaks into Renjou’s office. He tells her that she is too late and that Ryuuji is already on his way to get Murasaki. Benika tells him that Murasaki isn’t the same as before, but Renjou, nonetheless, endorses Ryuuji’s actions. The both of them agree to use this as a test to see who is better, Shinkurou or Ryuuji.

Ryuuji, a skilled Kuhouin fighter, and three body guards arrive at Samidare apartments. Yayoi can easily take down one of the bodyguards, but the female that is accompanying them is a different story. She is thrown through the front door of the complex, tossed about, and kicked limp. This noise obviously alerts the residents. Tamaki and Yamie step out of their rooms to see what’s happening, but when the bodyguards come upstairs they are confronted with a few sharp punches and are easily set aside.

They reach Shinkurou’s room and the first bodyguard is met by a fist to the face. He can knock these guys out no problem, but then the woman that beat Yayoi comes up the steps and gives Shinkurou a run for his money. Now Ryuuji can step inside and get his little sister back. While Shinkurou is repeatedly kicked into place, Ryuuji pressures Murasaki into obeying Kuhouin laws once again, admit that her sole purpose in life is to make Kuhouin babies, and then walk straight out the door.

Thoughts:

Ryuuji’s a tool.

Murasaki kissed Shinkurou.

That woman that beat up Yayoi and Shinkurou was rigged.

That’s all folks!
