| Things are getting spicier for both the current drama between Tama vs Konno and for the love life of our protagonist! Here's hoping that the next episode doesn't blow up like "that" episode from the first season... |
 |
They're really pushing Tama as an important character this season, almost like she's representing something important. She seems to be on the receiving end of life lessons. The characterization of Tama really did stand out with all the conversations and segments revolving around her. Kinda funny how they also Mimimi just and invited Tama to be in "her world". Never change. |
 |
| The thing with copying a comedy video feel a bit fake, but it works I guess. More Fuuka screentime let's gooooo Everyone is totally shipping them now, nice! Good to get some more romance elements. 20:59 偶に (tama ni) - "occasionally; once in a while; now and then", 玉 (tama) - Tama's name (lit. ball; sphere; globe; orb) Oh dear god that ending. What Erika's gang is gonna do now. Really liked this episode. |
 |
| Mimimi definitely has a target for Tama, trying to be affectionate in her love as a friend, thoigh Tomozaki sure got the short end of the stick with her playful stance. Once again, Erika's clique continues their harassment on Tama, while Aoi does her protective bubble, though now, adding Yuzu into the mix while still being communicated with Nakamura. With the consistent help of Tomozaki and Mizusawa, Tama feels more confident than ever. But to bring people into their support group, Tomozaki must be wary of anyone affiliated with Erika, which is where Fuuka comes in to give her 2 cents on the matter and be part of the group. It's a surprise for both Tama and Mizusawa as Fuuka is a neutral party who can bolster the support, though the latter sure is jealous that he has female companions to help out his social issues from before. Now, all that matters is Tama pacing everything succinctly. As usual, Mimimi is excited that Fuuka is added into the group, though Fuuka is not quite comfortable with her personality, and the others follow suit based on body language and cues. Fuuka's the kind of person, introverted as she is and only comfortable around one person. Finally, it's time to put Tama's practice into action, which goes smoothly for now...except that one of Erika's friends notice their secret bond together...is all their hard work gone for good? |

| Did the earth's gravity increase? No, I'm just short. Hanabi's still working hard at becoming more likeable in the class, and Fuuka gets brought in for some much needed screentime. The teasing about her and Tomozaki becoming a couple is cute, and it's even cuter how she hides behind Tomozaki when someone puts pressure on her. If they do get together, Fuuka needs more screentime so that MC's actual girlfriend doesn't take a backseat to every other waifu in the series. It's great to see Tomozaki's plans for Hanabi pay off, but then we have the cliffhanger. Erika's lackey has spotted Hanabi in the restaurant. Who are the conspirators against Erika? There's Tama, who has recently jumped up in popularity and bullying her will no longer produce the same results. There's two high-level threats in the soccer dude, a beloved class clown, and the hair care products guy, a close friend of Shuuji. And then there's Tomozaki. I think our gamer friend is about to draw some aggro. Can't wait for next week. |

| You can only wish for friends as amazing as those Natsubayashi has. If more allies for Natsubayashi join the class, an atmosphere gradually forms where Konno is seen as the antagonist. For proud Konno, the idea of being considered a villain becomes unbearable, prompting Tomozaki, who thought of stopping the harassment towards Natsubayashi, to suggest that Konno should become more integrated into the class. Following Tomozaki's advice, Natsubayashi steadily grow and mature. With the cooperation of Mizusawa, Takei, and Kikuchi, they practice communication. On the other hand, Hinami wishes for Natsubayashi to remain true to herself. This episode had so much short shaming, but hey, the plan worked out in the end. Thrilled to see Kikuchi, the best girl, back in action supporting Tomozaki. Hoping she gets more screen time this season. Deep down, I know she won't be the ultimate winner; Hinami is likely end game, being the first girl and all. The plan was a success, but there's a snag—Konno's goon found out about it. |

| “But I think Konno and the class must be doing this because they’re weak” at least someone gets it! Well said, Fuka. Erika and her group of losers are insecure about themselves, Erika especially for not landing Shuji, so they’ll take it out on anyone else to make themselves feel better. Classic bully. The comedy routines with Tama may be silly on paper, but they’re really helping improve her social skills as well bringing her closer to other classmates. Still ridiculous that she has to go through all this instead of someone just telling Erika to fuck off, but we move “You have a beautiful heart” right there in that moment, something started to change in Mimimi. She and Tomozaki’s chemistry has got so good lately! Every time Mimimi sees Tomozaki after school, his friend group is bigger lol. Now he’s added Fuka into the mix. Not bad for our loner gamer. Everyone giving Fuka and Tomozaki some space to be alone and walk home together was really funny. You can really get a sense of how much Fuka respects Tomozaki for taking strides to grow as a person. The admiration she has for him is so cute. “You’re always showing me new things” 😢 so sweet. And of course Erika’s little minions are out on the prowl instigating more drama… next week will be fun |

| Kikuchi's involvment in this operation was such a great move, she analysed Konno's behaviour so accurately. I like her opinions in general, she is a really good observer. Now Konno is pushed into a corner and because of the shortcomings Kikuchi was talking about, she surely feels the need to exert dominance. Maybe in form of some kind of public exposing... LuisSV23 said: I noticed this as well. They even stayed on this shot pretty long to let her words simmer. ("I know you have a beautiful heart")1.- What happens with Mimimi? In the first scene it seems that there is something more... will romance finally come? |
| Wow we need some new content, now. Pls stop with this mobbing arc xD It gets boring. |

| Pretty enjoyable episode and I'm excited for the next one. Team Tomozaki once again helps out Tama, especially Kikuchi by having a conversation with her. The group is also getting bigger with more people joining to help Tama out. At the end, one of Erika's lackeys finds out about the group and I'm expecting some drama next week. |
 |
| Nice of Tomozaki to bring Kikuchi into the save Tama gang, and she ended up being a great help too with her thoughts on the situation as well as being a good test of Tama’s growth, although it feels a bit more like a comedy act than a Takei style attribute to me lol, but hey it’s working for now. I also found Mizusawa giving Tomozaki shit about Kikuchi hilarious lol, that’s such a bro thing to do, he absolutely knows something is going on there. And if I’m not mistaken, this is also the first time Kikuchi has properly interacted with the rest of the cast, up till now all her interactions were between her and Tomozaki so this is a cool new aspect of her helping Tama out as well, Mimimi immediately took a liking to her and I can’t blame her lol. And man, just as things were starting to look good, one of Konno’s lackeys caught Tama hanging with the gang, at first I thought what’s the big deal, she’s at a restaurant with her friends, whoa talk of the town lol, but then I realized that she’s out with a bunch of guys by herself, things are about to get even more spicy. |

here we go again…and there’s no way she heard their convo through the window, right?  |
| How can the whole show be about meaningless, interpersonal high school drama with endless dialogue? It feels like the story has no substance here. Can we get some fanservice maybe at least? |
 |
| Best girl Mimimi is starting to feel something for Fumiya!? Great progress in the Tama front but it won't be so easy to get Konno to drop the harassement given the last scene. |
| This problem goes for too long now.. and just when it was about to end it will get worse? |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| Sometimes I wish I could replace Tomozaki with Hachiman, just to listen to his comments on this anime characters and certain things they say Liked the episode though. |
| Alright yall we're boarding the mimimi ship |
 |
| why... why... why won't you stay with Minami or Kikuchi, why... 🙁 |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
| Hmm I want more already, episode ended right when it became even more interesting. Fuuka input hit the nail on the head imo, Erika is an insecure sore loser who takes it out on other people. I also like the fact that this shows uses the side characters it has and let them be involved in the plot, someone like Takahiro is growing on me. Mimimi teasing is simply the best, can watch a whole episode of it. |

| You know, the fact that Konno is really trying to change herself for the better is good and all but I think the fact that the whole situation is just letting Konno do whatever and keep getting away with it is quite frustrating. Like I get in a way why she's acting like that but it comes off as very selfish so I can't really empathize with her. If now with one of her "lackies" screws things up again I'm gonna... Well, whatever, we'll see. |

| Nanashi is on the offensive this round! |
| I'll be honest, I find this season more "regular" than the first. However, Kukichi is still very cute. |
| Tomo idea worked in their favor. Nice to see Tama and Fuuka interacting. Good episode. |
 |
| kikuchii is so adorableee |
| S2 has just been boring so far(watching at 1x speed). Very very dragging drama and teaching us lessons I dont agree with like "toughen it up, even if you are bullied". And the bullying itself was boring, she just bumped her desk, that's it, it's still bullying, but its boring for a viewer when all she does is the same thing. |
| More Fuuka's nice and the others are noticing the ship too now. Things went well for Tama but that end scene, more shitshow coming ig. |
 |
| Fuka was putting it nicely, lol. She's perhaps too lenient, that said, her assessment was spot on. Instead of getting mad at the bullies and the likes it's indeed much more effective for her to approach the situation so level headed. Loved her this episode. However, the cliffhanger ending suggests that shit will go next level and that they may have to confront Erika after all. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I forgot what was this about again, until Fuuka spoke some serious words with no hesitation at all. That said, drama for the sake of drama, which is kind of inevitable after that last scene, is some of the dumbest things to exist. Though that is what this arc is about, so guess we'll just have to get through it somehow smh. |

| @Hirugiku It's mainly because the "bystander effect" in Japan is so damn strong. Hence why suicide rates there are quite high from bullying cases (and this roundabout solution to the problem lmao) I just chalk it up to cultural difference between Japan and the rest of the world |
| Tama-chan is making great progress, and Kikuchi-chan too. But someone reports to Erika about their group meeting. This is trouble. I hope this shitty arc ends next episode so we could get back to Tomozaki's own journey. |
