 Mariko you crazy bitch. |
| I agree that this is the best episode yet. It's really hard for me to hate Mariko, even when she is doing such manipulative things. She clearly has some emotional issues she is battling with, and it makes me feel pity for her. Although if my friend bit my ear out of anger... I would be a little pissed, not just ignore it. I myself was in a situation very similar to this, and it can be quite frightening. I'm just glad Nanako actually said no this time, and didn't sleep over. She's actually making some decisions! |
| what the hell is wrong with Mariko...!! some boys are needed anytime now. on to the next ep to see the slap! I gotta admit, slaps are the my fav in this anime. |
| I fell so sorry for Mariko, she has never had any friends and then she gets one and becomes so jealous and obsessive. But i found her from the beginning a little bit creepy. All in all, I´m curious, what´s gonna happend. I´ve read the manga, but there are only free volumes and in the anime, there are so many new plots. It makes the thing more interesting :D |
| I´m not a native english speaker and I´ve always got bad notes in English, so please, deal with my mistakes try to correct them in your thoughts during reading. Example: What´s written: My inglish have newer be gut what you read: My english has never been good. Hope you got it :P "You cannot change fate. However, you can rise to meet it, if you so choose" |
| I actually didn't care much for this episode. I get what the story is trying to say here, but this was the first time I thought the drama felt like too much. |

Insan3Heisenberg said: I actually didn't care much for this episode. I get what the story is trying to say here, but this was the first time I thought the drama felt like too much. Yeah, threatening murder-suicide is going too far. I think throwing that fit at the end because Nanako wanted to leave is crazy enough to get the point across. |
| I feel sorry for Mariko but holy crap she's scary. Imagine if Mariko's mom wasn't there. Nanako keep running >___< |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Mariko your yandere is showing |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| WOW talk about batshit crazy. Mariko is so needy it's unreal. "Let's take a bath together, because that's what friends do." Yeah, HOW ABOUT NO. |
 |
| This was so uncomfortable to watch |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| This has to be one of the best anime episodes I've seen in a while now. I once lived a very similar experience (much less dramatic obviously, but very much alike) and I truly think this episode and its narrative portrayed Mariko's attachment disorder (and borderline personality) at its finest. |
 |
| Seriously, Mariko needs to get laid >D I know she's kinda crazy and abusive, but I can't help but like her - I know she's just lonely! Before she had no one other than her mother, and now she finally made a friend, she's afraid to lose her and become alone again. It's unhealthy, sure, but maybe with Nanako, she'd be able to change in the future. |

 WHAT WHAT WAS THAT WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT The characterization in this anime is frightening. Not in the sense of its characters being scary, but in terms of how intense the method of characterization is. Here's the interesting thing about Mariko: she was first portrayed as clingy and possessive, but she's made great strides and personal sacrifice to help Nanako. Granted, this was with regards to keeping her in the Sorority, which is, again, something I'd question why she even was in to begin with. That aside, she was helpful in warding off Aya and other bullies, so it wasn't that her presence was unwanted. It's just...holy crap. Everyone in this show has such deep-seated traumas. I swear, the most lucrative occupation in this world would be a psychologist. Too bad no one decided to monopolize that position. |
| not surprised but... mariko is nuts |
 |
| i thought that for someone like mariko, her mother was also secretly crazy so the whole episode i was just waiting for her mom to snap and aid in her getting locked in the house. luckily, that was not the case. this is an all-mariko episode huh? a creepy episode fit for an equally as creepy lady. the way she said she truly wanted to be an adult makes me think that once she does become an adult, she's going to be a psycho femme fatale who may end up killing men lol. that would be rad. i can't even imagine the tension once they go back to school, poor nanako is out running in the rain, probably without money seeing as she had no bag with her or any sense of direction. maybe she'll bump into someone and get home that way? love the instrumental, jazz-ish version of the ending credits song. i replayed four times to listen to it again in the background. i really hope i'll be able to find this soundtrack somewhere. |
| OMG hahhahhahah this was so damn funny!!!!. great episode. |
| :v |
| Ohh man that was hard to watch, Mariko is beyond obsessive. |
| both creepy and funny at the same time. |
 |
| I feel sorry for Mariko but still, she is crazy. She really does need some help. I'm glad her mom was there cause who knows what would have happend to Nanako. Anyway, really good episode! I'm enjoying this so far. |
"That smile was like the sun on a hot summer day...with eyes like ice." |
| Seems like Nanako finally sees Mariko's true obsessive colors. Even though she's kind of a lunatic, I can't fully blame her acting so weird seeing that she never had any friends due to her dad's job until Nanako became one. Hopefully she'll make a change for the positive and become a good friend in the end. |
 |
| Miya's true colors are finally beginning to show. Last episode showed her double nature towards Rei, and this episode we see how she is encouraging Aya to continue pressuring Nanako into leaving the sorority despite the fact that she wouldn't let Nanako leave. As for Mariko, she has some issues that's for sure. She probably decided to become 'friends' with Nanako because she was only of the very few freshman who didn't already know her. |
| Holy shit, what a turn of events... I always had a bad feeling about Mariko, but it looks like she really has issues. Nanako should've never went when Mariko bit her ear, that should've been an obvious red flag. She probably didn't want to let Nanako leave because she was abandoned by her father and thought she wouldn't come back... but still that was so fucked up. I hope she will have a happy ending at tho, I really feel bad for her. |
| Joe, Joe Forever.... |
| The birthday party started suspiciously normal when you disregard the fact that a huge hotel room was rented for one guest. I was expecting some creepy shit ala "let me show you my collection of fingernails" right off the bat. Well, it didn't took that long before they shared a bath followed by homicide threats. It truly accelerated from 0 to 100 topped off by an insane nervous breakdown. I pity Mariko, the loneliness has driven her mad. Moreover, it's quite tough for her mom who seems like a supporting mother, yet also alone. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| That was like a horror movie, so suffocating with danger literally in front of you without knowing when is going to explode in your face, thankfully Nanako got away before it got worse. That Miya scene was great. Next episode Nanako slaps someone?! WHAT?! |
| so good, i barely survived cuz the show is practically horror to me, im especially sensitive to the subject of bullying i obviously despised and hated mariko at first... but now, seeing her go insane like this, first the aggession because shes so scared of losing nanako, then a panic attack at the end... i started to feel so bad for her loneliness is killing her man, for real, thats why shes so insane, i legit developed empathy for her; i truly hope for some character development and that she gets to be happy obviously she is a total narcissist but that surely can be due to trauma as well at the table during the birthday nanako, mariko, and her mom sat so far apart - and my reading of this was that as much as the mom seemed close to mariko there is something unresolved there; maybe its even a class/work thing, yal know her father never been at her birthday either, she said that herself; maybe not only she was lonely all her life, maybe her family wasnt home either, so she was left absolutely alone and grew up to be a twisted person, but thats obviously due to trauma god the fact that im actually writing a longer post means that this has impacted me for real good show i dont hate mariko anymore, now i understand why shes like this (even if i speculate a lot and everything will turn upside down next ep idk) still i dont think mfs like aya, the main bully, will ever deserve my respect and empathy lmao shes legit evil and rotten, but i guess im open to be surprised |
 |
| Damn, if I was in nanako's place and I had a penis, I would defo NOT run away but in all seriously that IS kind of creepy though |

I know Mariko is abusive and creepy but i felt sorry for her, i used to be kinda possessive wiht my best friend when i was younger (obviously not as crazy as this episode) and we ended up fighting because of it and stop talking with each other :/ Now i can see that i was wrong and i really regret it
| @viol3nty0uth I had a friend like that in Elementary school. We were best friends, and we constantly played together. Though one day, all the kids in our grade decided to all play tag. It was an all out crazy game and such chaotic fun. She was having fun and so was I. I guess I got too lost in it and was just really running with the other kids. Next thing I knew, I was being shamed for hurting my best friends feelings and leaving her to play with the other kids. She was crying and everything. It was so fucking weird. Though I felt bad, and I decided to ditch all the other kids and proclaim that I didn't need other friends. Looking back on it, it was a terrible mistake. She was manipulative as shit, and I didn't see it until I was older. I finally got sick of her shit and called her out for being trash, when I was in the 5th grade. Though she cried and people took her side. *eyeroll* I was ostracized, but whatever... Looking back on it, I regret leaving potential friends just to satisfy her. Funny thing is, years later, she also fell out with the same people that took her side, and she would constantly cycle new friends. Gee, I wonder why people would eventually get sick of her shit... /s |
| Holy moly. I can't even say that took a wild turn, because I knew it was going that route all along, but still. My eyes were so wide at that ending. |
| A part of me feels sorry for Mariko. She has no other friends, and outside of her parents, is alone in the world, just like me. But, that being said, Mariko is a little too obsessive. Would I act that way if I were her? I'd like to say "no," but a part of me fears that I would be just a little bit like that, but not quite to that extreme. I also believe that Mariko likes Nanako as more than just a friend, and being sapphic myself, being lonely for so long eventually takes its toll on your mental health, which is something that I cannot deny. What will happen between the two of them on their next school day? |
