Kurenai 02 in review.
For this second episode, the most part was about murasaki’s antics while shinkurou was busy with school.
We saw that shinkurou’s school life is kind of bland and that his social life is suffering these days. The relationship with that girl he hangs out with seems really strange, they don’t look comfortable together. She doesn’t want to hear about his job but it’s all that’s on Shin’s mind. Understandably so, I must add.

The scene where Shin brings Murasaki to the public bath is really uncomfortable for pretty much any westerner I believe. She happens to have got shampoo in her eyes and won’t stop being noisy. That right there would have to top all of the embarrassment I’ve accumulated in my whole damn life. I mean how would you feel giving a bath to a seven year old in front of everybody?
Now the scene with the milk! Hilarious, cute, slightly violent but still charming. Shinkurou knocks her on the head every time she tries to tell him that not thanking the lady for giving her milk is acceptable. She has trouble understanding who is a servant and who is an everyday person you see.
She finally gives a really long winded apology to the lady, shinkurou is satisfied and tells her “thank you” is just fine from now on. It’s all good and everyone’s happy.
Things get a little less easy going from now, we get to see more of the true nature of Shin’s work. Dispute mediator is quite the euphemism; see for yourself!
They didn’t stand a chance. The poor bartender is shitting his pants.
Finally, the appeal of this show is seeing the story develop and watch the little princess going about her business.
4/5, very recommended once again.
