I dunno whether to laugh or to cry at Kotaro's endeavours. Pretty much everything he does in order to live normally is so heartbreakingly cute and funny at the same time. My boy was even taking a bath in his sink haha. The sleep over and bento part were also bittersweet.

This episode revealed some more about Kotaro, like where he got his antics from, trauma was brought up and there was a glimpse of his mom?

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Ah so that's where his old school way of speaking comes from, it's a shame the show ended.
A sink bath, I guess he is small enough.
Nightmares cause a lack of sleep, poor little fella.
Bath and an attempt at sleep with Hostess, the following day he finally sleeps and has a ..... nice dream..... Manga-ka be jealous lmfao.
Preschool, I guess he is that age and a bento, indeed the second bento is on another level.

I only watched 2 episode till now and I think this anime is so cute I feel that kotarou wants socializing from people around him especially the neighbors who are always there for him someone who is like a parent to him? I wonder what happened to his parents since i did see part of a woman smiling I assume she is his mother

I'm starting to think it's a bad idea to watch the whole show in one go.
No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas.
Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End
nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites.
Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!

I loved seeing him make a bento with everyoneeeee!
But I'm kinda crying over the fact that his neighbors felt so much for him to attend his ceremony in his parents stead.

it looked like there was a flashback of his mom smiling while watching him perform as the character in the tv show. i think he watches the show to keep that memory alive. and since the show stopped airing, he decided he could keep the memory alive by performing the show on the street. in order to attract an audience, he decided to pay them to watch

that's what i think

Heartbreaking to know why Kotarou is so infatuated with that tv-show but on the other side its heartwarming to see not only the tenants but also random strangers helping him out.

Aww it was heartbreaking to see his past alluded to that could suggest some form of neglect and/or trauma. And his favourite show ended too :'(
I feel like he's so cute and deserves the world!

Yeah, this is definitely a roller coaster of emotions. Probably can’t binge this one, but I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

I thought this would be a lighthearted, cute show but it's just making me sad every episode and life is not daijoubu.

Kotarou's appreciation for the bento shows that he values working together.

The short with the dark circles under his eyes was very funny, he couldn't sleep because of the nightmares, but then he couldn't sleep because of the girl!
