10 Second Anime - Love Lab - Episode 9

Love Lab - Episode 9


Lots of tears over Sayo quitting the Student Council. Makio is finally put to good use, though the teachers have about the same reaction as the Love Lab girls do. Girls can be way sneaky.


Well, the much anticipated date-o post mortem party was cancelled due to Sayo getting caught walking with her boyfriend on digicam by the newspaper association, and offering to quit the Student Council as part of her punishment. Almost everybody cries. Enomoto, because it's her best friend since grade school. Suzu, because she's a sensitive soul. And Nana, because she took the picture, but didn't want anybody to get in trouble. Meanwhile, Riko and Maki are brainstorming ways to get Sayo back in. With the Newspaper Association's help, they fashion Makio Evolved! By weaving in some truth, like the love advice requests left in the suggestion boxes, the student council comes up with this fantastical tale of pretending to be a boy to help answer a question. In this scenario, Sayo took the fall so as not to implicate anyone in fraternizing with boys, because that's against the rules. Maki uses up her political capital by claiming that she can't say no to helping anyone who asks the Student Council. The teachers relent, and all the Student Council members have to do is write a letter of apology.

But where did all the details for Makio Evolved come from to match the picture on the camera, which was already in possession by the faculty? Oh, just old-fashioned bribery of the former Newspaper Club advisor with snacks, to grab the camera, download a copy of the picture, and return it. Pretty sneaky, sis.

As for some comedy points, I do love a call back to a Riko strike, even including the new hairstyle. And giving the teachers super-deformed reaction shots - awesome sauce.

Now that bit of drama has been resolved, I wonder what's next for the Love Lab girls. I was hoping we'd get back to boy troubles at the cram school, but it looks like we'll have strange family characters offering love advice.
