[Review] Mysterious School Idol x Twintails (NazoKano ep. 09)



Of jealousy, possessiveness and a lookalike

Before (left) and after (right)

It all started when Urabe went to school with ‘extremely’ unkempt hair. Well Urabe has always have quite a messy hair as she doesn’t really care about her appearance (after all Tsubaki didn’t fall for her appearance) but then that morning it was a little terrible that it caught Oka’s attention. Then Oka decided to give her a new hairdo, a twintail! (and surprisingly Urabe didn’t refuse at all).

And with that twintails, a new school idol was born.

Everything was fine until Urabe with her new look caught too much attention especially from the boys, much to Tsubaki’s disapproval. Even worse for him, the boys are starting to trade her pics like what most high school boys would do with any school beauty. However from such activities Tsubaki learned about something regarding Urabe, where there was this idol by the handle “Momoka Imai” that looks exactly like her.

Other boys started to get a hold of this extremely rare treasure.

So then Tsubaki decided to look for a photobook of this Momoka idol to confirm by himself how much lookalike she is. Turned out that it was exactly like the other boys said. Tsubaki bought it right away but then he bumped into Ueno so now it’s not really a secret anymore.

Urabe lookalike. The cheerful appearance is a far cry from Urabe though.

The similarity as well as the cheerful appearance struck Tsubaki’s heart and he quickly fell in love with the ‘imaginary’ Urabe who would appear like Momoka in the photobook. As a guy I perfectly understand how Tsubaki feels, I mean there might be times where anybody would have a thought of “If only my boyfriend/girlfriend was like this/that” or something similar. I have to admit though for a moment I thought the one in the photobook was really Urabe, I mean she might be ‘working’ as an idol (and I heard some idols indeed keep it a secret from their schoolmates).


She really looks like Urabe, except for the chest part though.

As Urabe’s boyfriend, Tsubaki could almost immediately tell that Momoka is not her, especially after he had look at Momoka’s boobs. Well he did ‘raep’ Urabe after all, er, I mean he grabbed those already (and saw them while they were at the beach before) so he was pretty sure about that. Still Tsubaki was happy that he bought the photobook without thinking about what would Urabe feel if she knew about it.

The level of similarity (between Momoka and Urabe) could fool anybody into believing that they're the same person.

Yes, eventually the ‘news’ about Tsubaki bought the photobook reached Urabe. You know that Ueno found Tsubaki buying the photobook the other day right? From Ueno Oka knew about it too but I don’t blame Ueno though because unlike Oka he still doesn’t know about Tsubaki and Urabe are dating.

Because of this I hated this woman for a while.

The real problem was with Oka who seemed not considering the fact that conveying such information to Urabe might resulting in a destruction of a good relationship. This is not about being loyal or betraying your partner because I found nothing wrong about a boyfriend keeping a photobook of an idol who resembles his girlfriend. Well maybe a little wrong but we shouldn’t have helped igniting the spark in the event that something like this happened.

Urabe wielding her weapon of mass distraction.

Well Urabe got jealous after all and long story short, she destroyed the photobook in a way that only Urabe is capable of doing so. Now my question is what if Tsubaki bought the book just because he like it and not because the idol looks like Urabe? Would Urabe accept it?
