Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl

The letter from Canada (1x58)

:

Jody is getting married and has invited Yawara to her wedding. Jigoro insists that she continues training in Canada, Yawara apparently not having told him about her decision to quit. Hanazono warns Fujiko that starting a judo club is tough going and will likely involve much physical work and injuries, and when Fujiko says she will press ahead no matter the hardship, Hanazono vows to help her. During Yawara's absence to Canada, Fujiko makes preparations (posters, judo research, uniforms, etc.) for the club. At the judo recruitment, only 1 sickly woman with "very little presence" shows up, Kikage Kyoko (nicknamed "Kyon-Kyon (the shadow)"); the club needs 5 members to form a team. Hanazono shows up at Mitsuba College to help drum up interest for the judo club, including an impromptu demonstration at the cafeteria that ended up his fondling a woman's breasts, but also attracting another new member (Oda Mari, aka "Marilyn") who wants to learn judo "without adding muscles" so that she can avoid being molested. Mari is being sexually harassed everywhere she goes in part because of her sexpot figure and suggestive clothing. Another student who has been dumped by 13 different men and is out to "throw every man" in world becomes the 4th recruit (Minamida Yoko); Fujiko however, misinterprets the "13" to mean 13 years of judo experience.
