    Overview:
         > "Meet the In-Laws" is the second volume of Please Teacher, which is quickly becoming my favorite new anime series of 2003.  The adventures of Kei and Mizuho continue as they vacation together on a secluded island.  Since they were thrust into a hasty wedding in volume 1, now it's time to get to know each other on a more personal level...

         > Episode 5. "For That Teacher, I...":  Kei and Mizuho think they're in no danger of seeing anyone they know from school, while honeymooning at a resort beach locale.  Of course, they run into the whole gang (continually), which means that neither Kei nor Mizuho gets a chance to advance their fledgeling relationship.  However, someone else does score...

         > Episode 6. "Let's Begin After We Start":  Upon returning home, Kei is first to discover that a gorgeous babe, who turns out to be Mizuho's mother, is in their apartment.  Hatsuho (Mizuho's mom) immediately shows her affection for Kei, while Maho (Mizuho's younger sister) can't believe her sister would even give a complete wuss like Kei the time of day.  Kei is on a mission to express his love for Mizuho though...

         > Episode 7. "Don't Cry, Teacher":  Kei has a nasty habit of getting into incriminating positions with women, and even a guy!  Maho won't sit by idly and watch her sister cry.  She transports Kei into another dimension, then proceeds to laser blast and mentally assault him into a "stand-still" (sort of like a coma).  Mizuho comes to the rescue and Maho gets a glimpse of her sister's feelings for Kei.  In the end, Kei makes some advances, which you'll have to learn about while watching this volume.

    Bottom Line:
         > If this volume had 4 episodes (like vol.1), then I'd rate it 100%.  Even so, Please Teacher volume 2 extends my intrigue for the series.  It's an interesting story with likable characters and situations.  Top notch character designs, animation and voice acting.
    Rating:
    Overall: 95%
