I think Botan might be trying too hard to grow her club. Maybe she should've tried to let it grow more organically. 

This episode also dealt with a new supernatural entity and plus an extension with Hyouma's feelings towards Botan, although more serious than the previous episodes.

The paper umbrella huh popular topic these days. With that kind of hungry welcome i don't blame that guy running off in fear. Lol the overzealous security guards. Botan's damm scary when she's angry. So the umbrella can also be used as a container huh crafty. But Botan sure quite the unerving experience with the master of the umbrella. Hyoma sure pulled off the best of his timely entrances this time for sure. Overall this ep featured a great balance of humour and dread in the form of the brella's long waited assault on Botan. Looking forward to seeing how the battle plays out next ep.

Is it possible that, whatever inside Botan, is responsible for killing Hyoma's siblings? That paper umbrella also look to release "her master" from Botan's body.

For someone that have many observing and protectors. Botan was easily almost kidnapped.
After this episode some certain tsukumogami will need to  do some heavy lifting, after all there's no meaning having protectors if they fail to protect.
And now Botan will need an episode trope "Push away my friends, so they don't be in danger."

Yea they’re pushing the Botan and Hyoma ship hard as hell this season lol. Something definitely gonna have to happen with that soon.

I thought this was going to be another lighthearted SoL teasing episode but that tonal shift in the last 10 minutes was crazy. I didn’t expect spiral lady to try and attack Botan while she was walking with regular civilians. Her friends are brave as hell for trying to protect her tho.

I don’t get what happened to the Nagatsuki clan in this case. Why wasn’t someone monitoring Botan considering what’s sealed inside her? Seems like an awful job of protecting lol.

Looking forward to Hyoma v spiral lady next week. Great episode.

This was amazing!!! I'm absolutely loving how the 2nd season is shaping up.
The expression at the end, his heart really is corrupted, huh.
Nice cliffhanger and really waiting for next episode.

I think this was the best episode so far including both cours, such a shift from SoL with Botan's thirsty friends in the first half to the last 10 minutes where things got serious. I thought maybe one of her friends was going to get killed in order to get the marebito to come out from Botan but luckily Hyoma came just in time. Also, now with Fukie there to protect Botan's friends Hyoma should be free to go after this paper umbrella.

Looking forward to watching how this fight plays out!

Banger last half of the episode. Hyouma always delivers and finally we're getting to see the start of the confrontation we've been waiting a while for felt satisfying.

 If they didn't push the Botan and Hyoma ship so hard, I would actually enjoy the episode. Why not just let their relationship grow naturally? Thе "girls interrogation" was super artificial and somewhat unnerving. I like how both of them understand each other without needing a third party, be it Botan's guardians or friends. They are fine just the way they are, there is no need to force them into this boyfriend/girlfriend relationship so soon.

Time to kill da hoe!!!! It's time to get his lick back like the true avenger he is. You got this Hyoma!! But....idk. Something seems a bit off. Like what if this is not the exact paper umbrella who killed his siblings? Maybe I'm overthinking it but what if there more of them. Idk exactly where I'm going with this but great ep nonetheless. By far the best episode of the series. That tone shift from SoL nonsense to demonic vibes was the equivalent of a vicious beat drop

They finally got to face each other. Looks like things will get even more exciting from now on.

Nice save from Hyouma and Fukie (the suspicious-looking duo) and looks like Hyouma's battle-junkie is triggered.

Episode started with a slow pace but things picked up fast in the second half. Hyoma came just right in time to save them. That expression on his face, he finally found the one he was looking for or someone related atleast.

The Hyakunin Isshu Society club that smells like a cult, Botan's club friends sure invoke the supernatural in every way they can. And the scary guy has to come to her college, though facing the interrogation of the club members, knowing that he had fallen for their trap.

The paper umbrella tsukumogami caught Botan, Natsuki and Kei off guard, sensing the missing light. And of everyone involved, Hyoma senses the ominous spirit more well than everyone, with the Bureau's Fukie coming in for aid to protect the innocent.

Stakes can't be mich higher than this.

Best episode in this series so far. For once, the sense of tension the anime wants to convey is both effective and immersive.

I think she's very poorly protected, especially for someone who's so closely watched, I'm talking about Botan!
