Yuuko-rin! Densetsu no Head ends this week, the first of many long running series that come to a close.

I've decided to not do translations for Zetsubou-sensei's titles. They're all a play on popular phrases in the Japanese culture and its meaning doesn't come across in a translation (or at least in the 5 seconds that I spend thinking about each one).

New series starts this week, Umisyo (ウミショー). It seems like a pleasant story and I like the character design.

Negima and Rose Hip Zero are off.

* Summaries abbreviated due to backlog.

Overdrive: 10 Jam tomorrow: Mikoto is still quite obsessed with this "Kurosuke," the one who says he can outride Yosuke. At school, he explains this to a friend of his, Yamato. Afterschool, he sees the silhouette of Kurosuke and it turns out to be Yamato.

Suzuka: #68喪失 (Loss): At Honoka's family's shrine, Suzuka has a flashback to two years ago when she had a crush on Kazuki and regrets that she never got to tell him before he died.

Tsubasa: 85戦いの姫様 (Fighting Lady of Honor): Kuro is out of the race. Sakura presses on under the waterfall to the finish line!

Hamanaka Ai: 094桃色将来 (Pink Future): The various girls tell what they want to become and surprise Masahiko with random and out-of-context statements he arrives.

Umisho: 1: Kaname (male) is a manager at his school's swim club, but doesn't swim himself because of a mermaid encounter he had as a child. On this day, a father and a daughter arrive on a raft all the way from Okinawa to be a transfer student at his school. The girl, Amuro, is a great swimmer. Kaname thinks the two of them have met before.

Full Spec: 6 Flat Out: Arata wins the race!

Student Council: #30ぬいぐるみ (Stuffed Animal): Hitsuji explains that she carries around a stuffed animal because it reminds her of a other child, Atsushi, who donated his heart so that she could live. It fuels her inner strength.
