In "Stray Dogs," Tomoki asks Astraea if she likes him. Embarrassed, she speaks the opposite of her true feelings and says she hates him. This moves Tomoki to run around flipping up girls' skirts to see if they like him, which of course results in their creaming him. Verdict: JUSTIFIED, though for a different reason than usual.
"Love!" begins with a bang, as Ikaros, seeking to break up a fight between Nymph and Astraea, unleashes missiles that blast Tomoki out of the house.
"Freedom" handles the Ikaros-Tomoki relationship in a less comical manner than usual. Tomoki gets the idea that Ikaros can show more emotion if he releases her from her bondage to him. But Ikaros is upset by this freedom. Mikako then orders Ikaros to hurl Tomoki into the ocean. Ikaros at least threatens to do so, asking Tomoki to become her master again-- and when he does, she becomes overwrought with sudden emotion. Tomoki still doesn't understand what's going in her heart, if one can judge from subsequent episodes. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.
"Culture" starts off with Ikaros sampling something spicy, which she spits out as liquid fire right into Tomoki's face.
Then once again Tomoki and friends get involved in a musical contest. At this point, student council president Mikako, who usually lets others inflict pain on Tomoki, takes the opportunity to massacre him in inventive ways as she sings. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.
Even for this series, "Division" is pretty weird, though it starts with a standard situation-- Sohara catches Tomoki reading dirty magazines and tries to chop him. Somehow she hits a mushroom that apparently represents his penis, but because he has some magic card on him, it causes him to multiply into various other forms. Verdict: UNJUSTIFED.
In "An Oppai Mousepad," Sohara catches Tomoki with a big mousepad that looks like Ikaros' head and breasts, so she chops him. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.
Lily Renee passed away this week. She was the primary artist on Fiction House's SENORITA RIO feature, which concerned the South American adventures of the titular lady spy. whose fighting abilities were generally more realistic (and hence more modest) than those of contemporary superheroines. Prior to her passing Renee seems to have been the last surviving artist from Golden Age comic books in the 1940s. Despite a lack of strong fight-scenes Renee seemed incapable of drawing a dull page.
In "Combine," Tomoki uses card magic to create a giant chicken. Sohara first punishes him with a simple punch. Then, when Sohara is enlarged to giant-size, Tomoki unwisely comments on being able to see her panties and gets stomped to a jelly, Verdict: JUSTIFIED,
In "Execution," Tomoki can't understand why Ikaros and Nymph keep wanting him to give them orders. He consults with Astraea, but starts out by insulting her, so she torpedoes him.
Later, Tomoki tries to get Nymph to eat something vile so he doesn't have to, so she shoves the bad food into his mouth, and that of Astraea, which temporarily "kills" them both. For good measure she's seen stomping on Tomoki's head later. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.
Unusual demonstration of strength from rich girl Veronica as she beats up the gang's resident strongman Moose for some reason.
For "Conflict," it's back to silly slapstick as both Ikaros and Nymph try to act as maids to Tomoki, and Nymph half kills him. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED.
The new character "Hiyori" is much more low-key and non-violent than either Sohara or any of the Angeloids, but even she ends up inflicting pain upon Tomoki. She witnesses him take a flop while chasing a pair of loose panties, and in so doing he gets manure on his head. Everyone at school mocks Tomoki, so he retreats to a local forest. Hiyori becomes concerned that he may try to commit suicide and talks the others into following him there. Once there, all the girls see that the disconsolate youth has used Angeloid tech to create numerous mini-clones of himself to commiserate with him. But the clones, having no reasoning powers, attack the girls, though they don't do anything more than their model ever does, which means lots of groping. Yet Tomoki steps up with an act of chivalry with a touch of masochism, revealing that the clones can be destroyed if they're kicked in the balls. Unfortunately, when each of the clones is so kicked, Tomoki feels it, but he stoically endures it all, even when the well-meaning Hiyori is obliged to slay the last clone. Nevertheless, Tomoki makes a full recovery and Hiyori then confesses that she really really likes him-- an action in marked contrast to the other girls, who can't quite admit their feelings. Verdict: UNJUSTIFIED, since the girls wouldn't have been molested if they hadn't intruded on Tomoki.
In "Doubts," Sohara, Nymph and Astraea all see evidence to suggest that Tomoki is dating pretty new girl Hiyori. Since all three are to some extent attracted to Tomoki, none of them want to believe that Hiyori could actually have any regard for the goofy youth. They conceive the idea that he's forcing her to date him by using some form of blackmail on her, so they tear apart his room looking for incriminating photos. Then they tear off his clothes-- but Tomoki happens to have concealed an Angeloid wish-device on his person (predictably, covering his pecker). This device propels all three girls into a dream-world where they confronted by dream-versions of Tomoki trying to molest them, which fate is not entirely undesirable to them. Nevertheless, when they return to reality they all stomp the hell out of him, but can't conceal that they still want intimate relations with him, though not entirely in the "wham bam grope you ma'am" manner.
In "Purity," Tomoki tries to gross out Hiyori, the new member of the club he's in, purely to keep her from putting demands on his peace and quiet. He exposes her to "pure" items like purely white panties, but Sohara and the other club members find out, subjecting Tomoki to a "purity punch." Verdict: JUSTIFIED.
The meaning of the title "New Member" has nothing to do with the main subject of the story, in which Tomoki plots to set up a periscope system enabling him to peep on women's bathrooms and look up girls' skirts. Oddly, at the time he does so, all or most of the girls begin mooning over him, wanting some sort of reciprocal affection from him, and when they find his apparatus, they don't immediately punish him. Sohara even perceptively noted that even though he's felt up Astraea, Nymph and herself, for some reason he's not defiled Ikaros in that manner. Tomoki admits this is true but he can't conceive of any reason, and he goes back to peeping. Then some of the girls strike back, using mirrors to blind him, and when he retaliates by exposing himself, Sohara gets chop-happy again. Verdict: JUSTIFIED.
"Cleansing" merges two of Tomoki's prime interests: peeping on girls and taking refuge in the toilet. After admonishing Ikaros for intruding on his privacy in the bathroom, Tomoki uses Angeloid technology to transform himself into a girl in order to gain access to the girl's bathroom. While there he's trapped in a stall when Sohara enters. Knowing that she'll recognize and clobber him, he tries to use his tech to flush himself down the toilet. Sohara's interference apparently causes him to suffer agony as he's pumped through the pipelines and into a filtration plant. Having more or less recovered, he returns to the safety of the toilet. "Innocent sadist" Ikaros intrudes again, knocking on the door hard enough to break it down. This somehow propels him down into the toilet again, and Ikaros flushes it, subjecting her filthy minded master to another too-thorough "cleansing." Verdict: JUSTIFIED.
