My Sassy Girl Episode 2This episode begins where the last left off, Takami Riko played by Tanaka Rena (Drug Store Girl, Gegege no Kitaro) has become Masaki Saburo played by Kusanagi Tsuyoshi (Sasaki Fusai no Jingi Naki Tatakai, SMAP) next door neighbour. She vaults over the balcony and invades his home, the large aquarium draws her attention and she wants to know if the fish are edible. Saburo is upset that she’s moved next door, and claims she’s infringing on his rights. But Riko resonds with her signature phrase “You wanna die?”. Then Saburo’s childhood friend and his hoped to be girlfriend, Asakura Minami played by Matsushita Nao (Top Caster, Good Job) arrives. Saburo drags Riko out onto the balcony to hide, as he doesn’t want Minami to know that Riko moved in next door. When he turns away, Riko greets Minami at the door, yelling to Saburo that he has a guest. Saburo makes believe she’s delivered him a pizza and goes to pay her off but she doubles the fee and exits the room, leaving Saburo and Minami alone finally. But then Saburo fesses up telling Minami that Riko has just moved in next door. Minami has come on an errand from the lab, delivering some fish that Saburo is to care for at home. He admits that since this has become his job, he doesn’t love marine biology like he once did. Minami notices all the cup ramen and instant foods on Saburo’s counter and offers to make him breakfast. Riko arrives back from the balcony again, this time she wearing a pizza delivery uniform. Then she asks Minami if she’s Saburo’s girlfriend. Minami responds “No” but then changes it to “Not Yet”.Another terrific episode, the love triangle worked very well here, but I love the bit that they do that's a parody of Galileo solving a crime. Will Riko ruin Saburo’s life? It’s amazing how fast this episodes subtitles were released as well, I just saw the first episode on Saturday so it was a really nice surprise to see the second episodes released early Tuesday morning. Still highly recommending this drama after the first two episodes, it's just getting better.Download the RAW first two episode video bit torrent files here, the soft subs are here.
