(Content Warning: We talk about some serious subjects such as child abuse, grooming and manipulation which may be potentially triggering to some listeners.) In this unexpectedly three-part examination of Love Hina's second episode: Pip and Geoff are introduced to our newest female lead. The 13-year-old, constantly weeping, endlessly bullied (?) and painfully moe cast member: Shinobu.

Spoilers: No, it isn't. But, just 'how' badly do they mess this up? Let us find out.
