----------------------------------------
This mystery with the fax and other shenanigans just gets more and more strange with the weird liquid.

Minare is still doing her regular radio work although I find the story to be very loose even with the recurring themes.

So the dude lived all this time in psychological torment because Minare forgot meat and wine in her attic ? ... She truly is a calamity woman. You gonna need more than one tuna to get away with this, this time lol.

Man, listen, Minare is fine as [FUCK](https://imgur.com/a/qgyrNYd)

They threw me for a loop with the meat situation. Last week I was convinced it was rotten meat that was causing my guy to have hallucinations, then the onsen story came into play and I started thinking he may have killed her. Then we got told it was meat again lol. I’m surprised the police didn’t do a little more investigation before arresting him.

Another really really good episode. This show continues to impress me every week. Wish more people were on it, easily one of the shows of the season.

So it was the rotten meat after all, never would've guessed if not for someone pointing it out last week.

Another brilliant episode, that was one hell of a hilarious misunderstanding. Minare fucked up big time and not only once.

While it was a good episode i think this was the worst episode of the series so far. The previous episodes made me laugh a lot and this one was just underwhelming. I am curious about what happened to Ritsuko.

This show often likes to go the dark and morbid, but still somehow safe, route. The aesthetic overall is pretty gritty, which has worked pretty well.

I agree with the other poster though, this episode was not as interesting, or as funny, as most of the others.

Minare successfully saved her ass from being being sued, everything was a mess and I loved it, the awkward looks between Minare and her former neighbor was gold, I was laughing at the whole explanation thing, although I have just one question: at the end, what happened to that guy's girlfriend/fiancé?

Lol, it turned out to be Minare-san's fault and rotten mutton (I figured meat earlier but close enough) after all. No surprises there. Even trying to take the "innocent" route out of this, xD that was never going to work. Pretty sure the layout needs some working though.

Seriously though, the effort for the "first time" is at least commendable but just ludicrous at the same time. Aren't love hotels a concept for such scenarios?

Seems like this episode seemed to be a low for a few above but I, on the other hand, was laughing out loud the whole time. As such, another quality episode from my side.

Next episode preview shared a shot of her so I'm guessing we'll be getting to the end of that next week. I don't see any point in dragging this out, for one.

Comedy was on point, but I am still dissapointed about the way the episode concluded. It all really felt like just set-up for a future story, without much in the way of pay-off at the time being that hadn't been already stablished with the neighbour.

Still, I can't wait for both next episode with the return of the previously hospitalized characters, as well as the eventual revelation that the slavic woman was, in fact, an honest to God russian spy just as Minare imagined!

Also, was it just me, or did the previous episode made it sound like it was the stundent girl living on top of the bloody room and not Minare? Maybe I just misread the floor plans or the whole salmon scene, come to think of it, but I guess this outcome would have been a lot easier to guess with that in mind.

Continuing on from last episode, Mr. Oki's house of horror shrieks doesn't faze Minare and Mizuho, and deep dives into the "horror" content.

A beautiful lady, and a conceivable memory that serves as "plot", both ladies try to scout his bluff, and therein...lies the remnants of a rotten, chopped human body in plastic bags. What an erroneous feeling...for Mr. Oki, as a murder case is settled in the books (or was it)?

What kind of murder case can be filled in as advertising material, if it's too small like their case to make publicity waves...out of rotten processed mutton. WHAT carelessness...to suspect a murderer, and having to save her own ass from all that trouble. Hilarious though!

It's the parcel of life to have misunderstandings and that's what Minare is. Great episode that brings a close to this mini chapter.

This one... kinda left a bad taste in my mouth, if I'm being honest. I'm not an expert on Japanese media, but I've heard about how exploitative it can be and, personally, I am not down with the idea of airing a man's psychological torment and potential murder case on a radio show for profit, even if he did fax you about it. Like, she called the police when she suspected a body and she had Nakahara waiting outside in case of an emergency, that's all good, but the whole setup to this story feels horrible to me and my... I dunno, my prissy, western sensibilities.

Also, it's kinda funny how, in one scene, Oki can go from a character I didn't really care about to my absolute favourite. That guy is way too nice for his own good and I can feel his anger in that last scene.

*sigh*... Anyway, I'm not dropping it. I've come this far and the next episode honestly looks like it's gonna be fun. I doubt if this show is gonna make any comment on exploitation in the media at any point, so if I'm gonna keep watching, it's something I'll just have to get used to I guess.

I knew it was rotting meat but who would've thought that it was rotting meat that Minare put underneath her floor and she completely forgot about it. It was her fault this poor guy was hallucinating and she wasted perfectly good mutton!

I feel sorry for Oki, his girlfriend probably wanted to break up with him and abandoned him at that place. I don't think she's dead. She's probably faking her death or used a fake name to get away from him.

Minare's apologetic expressions were fabulous, though.



If only that were enough to redeem the calamity that she caused. Minare even tried to whitewash her actions on the air.

I kind of expected things to play out this way, but I was still surprised and interested to be honest. Shinji's story might not have been something special by itself, but the presentation, Minare's decision to call the police without much ceremony, her wild daydream about the woman being a Russian spy, it was all pretty cool. I wouldn't be able to deal with a swarm of flies and a putrid smell by the way, Minare sure is strong. lol I think her parents are to blame for this too, who in their right minds would buy 50kg of meat at once? I mean, it wasn't even like she was going to throw a barbecue for a lot of people or anything. lol Her second broadcast ended up being live too. I mean, I think it was, instead of being the recording of what transpired that night and I didn't expect this. I wonder if she is going to have to pay for the damage made to the building because of that meat though... And the "female college student" came up a few times again so I also wonder if she is going to show up.

It was obvious that there wasn't a human body in those bags, like seriously, what kind of a conclusion is that? I understand that the previous discussion led her fantasy to go wild but still. And how come she couldn't recall about the meat she hid under the floor in those exact bags?

Well, it was an alright episode, I guess. But maybe more about the radio programme next time would be better.

Guess Shinji isn't the "Love Hotel" kind of guy but jeez, he almost got himself killed by poisonous gases because of trying to be stupidly romantic xD

Absurdly funny episode. Of course it was Minare the responsable of Shinji's torment. Poor guy but now I'm kinda curious to know what happened to Ritsuko. Hopefully, it will be addressed next week.

Anyways, it seems next episode will give some focus to Tachibana's deal with her brother. Honestly, I'm not that interested in that matter but well.

well, i hope no one will be rude at me bc i’m really dumb sometimes i know but this shit is kind of confusing me. I mean, there’s so many stuff happening... it’s kind of appealing. well, we have the girl who’s sister from the abusive guy who ran over the boss of the restaurant, this guy with his weird case with the girlfriend he has, minare being jealous with nakahara but kind of... idk how to explain at this point. everything just sound SO messy to me. so many different stories and ... what’s the point of them? someone who already read the manga can explain me if theres a point about the girl who is abused by the brother, like this is going to be important to storie or only... exists? idk so many stuff happening but they kind of don’t move, it’s getting messy for me, if someone can share me ur feelings about this show, or try to change my mind..

The second wave of her show just released with some clarification and helped that creepy sensei found out her girlfriend. Atleast they had a better relations after whatever shit happened before!

Really went from weird occult/murder mystery to Minare negligence and causing a lot more trouble to the neighbour. Feeling bad for Oki, not only he doesn't know where the love of his life went but also dealing with Minare's weird antics (her being drunk, police being called on him and the psychological trauma from the rotten meat juice) even when she doesn't live there anymore.

In the end everything was Mirane's fault. I like what she said in the end about the show being for people that makes mistakes what want to change.

Spanish translation:
Al final todo fue culpa de Mirane. Me gusta lo que dijo al final acerca de que el programa es para personas que cometen errores y quieren cambiar.
