So I heard there's gonna be a new animated episode that comes with the latest Japanese volume of the series? Is there any information about that? I heard it might include Komiyama?

I think it came out yesterday. I need to check around and see if anyone is subbing it.

E: Some people have it, but it just shipped yesterday so it will take a while.

This person took some screenshots.

The OVA is out there now in RAW form and apparently Spanish subs.

From what I can tell, it is all anime original content, but they really didn't have a lot of story. Komiyama, Kei, and Yuu are barely featured and we get a story focused on Tomoko and some new guy. Twice.

On another note, Volume 5 is out. It covers through Komiyama's introduction then even has the first chapter of Tomote (It's you guy's fault my friend's not popular,) so that's getting officially translated now.

Also known as "normal puberty".

Well, normal might be a tad subjective, but these are pretty commonly found factors in just about any teenager, albeit often expressed more internally with frustration of their predicament, imagined or not. Consider a typical "emo" in western culture and most of these things fit right in as a glove. Think furry and you have the creepy sexuality bit down.

The sad thing is that these are formative years and it is what the end result of all of this is that forms what a person one becomes after later in life, either from reflecting on this time or by making them habits and never changing them, creating a negative spiral.

Social anxiety is one of Tomoko's biggest crippling factors which hinders her other problems from solving themselves. She threatens to commit suicide because she is desperate for human interaction, because she's convinced herself that this isn't how high-school is supposed to be like, because all her life she has been told it is the highlight of her life and if she doesn't make anything of it, she will forever be a loser and this is crippling her, causing her to try to do whatever she can to break the cycle except the thing that is most uncomfortable to her.

If goons are sympathetic, it is only because a lot of cultures do the exact same thing with how they idolize certain acts of life and constantly feed you information that if you are not the very best, you are worth nothing.

Biggest culprit to social anxiety our generation are movies and the TV. (not the actual invention itself, but most often the content through it and how it shapes culture)

Just wanted to say that this post is spot on.

Chapter 73
I did not understand almost anything that happened in this chapter. Reversed? Huh? What the hell is Tomoko doing to her clothes
Someone new is translating these, are they not up to snuff or is it just naturally incomprehensible

The "reversed" line refers to the card game UNO, which is apparently being played in the next room.

Tomoko's line on the first page was mistranslated, which kills the setup for the rest of the chapter. She says something like "Not only do they coordinate their clothing styles, but what's underneath them as well?" From that you can deduce what she might have been trying to do in the bathroom with her pants off and a pair of scissors.

I've noticed there's always a few typos in the Watamote scanlations. I remember watching the anime and being confused about the progression of a scene or two. I then look at the official translations and see just how off they were.
