I'm glad a lot more people are coming around to this series now that the show is out.

Mikoshiba is my favorite character because he is clearly the biggest loser.

God, if Kashima is the one calling you a dope, you know you're a lost cause. That being said, Waka is full of hilarity especially when he's Seo's punching bag.

Aw, Mikorin is so popular. :3:

I'm glad that all the missing chapters are being put up. It really confused me when I first found out about the manga and went to read it, wondering why it kept skipping over stuff.

This episode was great! Mikoshiba's a true goon and I'm glad more people are coming around to liking him. I couldn't stop laughing at Nozaki with the bunny ears. It's even better since there's voice acting to go with it. And I like how this episode emphasized his cooking skills.

I think one of the best things about this series is how people can gloss over or come into it with some misconceptions, like how some people thought this was going to be a straight up shoujo romance with some comedy.

And what they get in the end is a loony bin. A glorious loony bin. :allears:

Gekkan Shoujo has a more standard japanese style of weird-man/straight-man humour, it's just done well and they constantly switch up who is who and play around with gender stereotypes.

Like so:

I assume the joke is that Nozaki's manga is actually terrible and derivative. Sakura's art is leagues ahead of his.

She's good at drawing what she sees in front of her so she's better than Nozaki, but maybe TOO good...

I agree. Except Waka. His falling asleep schtick is the one place that goes too far for me. It's a really small nitpick, though.

Yeah, that gag can be a little hit or miss, but I also think he's too compliant with his upperclassmen. He's such a dope that he looks up to Mikoshiba and his advice about girls. :allears:

Sadly it's only a 1-cour, 12 episode show! Only two weeks left!

Pray to the anime gods for another season, or at least an OVA.

There's enough material for another season, so that's what I really, really want.

The beach/hot springs inn chapters would make a fun OVA though.

Man, I can't believe it's almost ending. Reflecting back on it, I'm really happy with this adaption. Artistically, I actually think the animators put a lot more effort than I expected for a comedy anime. The colors might be a little bright and over saturated at times, but not offensively so. It matches the lighthearted and goofy mood this show is supposed to evoke. Here's hoping for a second season (and thankfully we got more chapters to look forward to!)

Poor Chiyo-chan. I was really rooting for her at the end.

I was kind of dumbfounded when she said their relationship hasn't progressed at all, though. At the start of the series, she was just this borderline stalker person he didn't know existed. Now they're quite close friends. He's willing to eat off the floor for you Chiyo! Appreciate how far you've come.

Chiyo's quite the little devil.

Agreed what everyone said about the VA giving life to Chiyo. Let's hope she climbs up with more roles from here!

I think what makes Chiyo's crush on Nozaki more sweet is the fact that she's willing to stick with him and help him out with his manga even though he's so stupidly engrossed with it. To her, it's another cool quality even if he's a big dork.
