I wonder if the author of this series has a fascination about food being part of supernatural drama.

What a strange episode of popcorn coming right out of a person's head. At this rate, I believe anything can happen in this show.

LMAO... This show. I'm done XD... Popcorn? Seriously? We've seen some weird cases already in this show. But, I think this one takes the cake. I wonder if they're going to put something weirder(in a funny way) than this in upcoming episodes. That was a rather strange case this time.
But I'll love to have popcorn coming out of my head only if I can consume them as well. LoL

damn that dad really pisses me off, really such a shit parent. shun has so much artistic talent and he's trying to let it all go to waste just so his son can have a much more boring job like being a company president? seems kinda retarded to me... welp, ramune sensei will probably solve this next ep

Another two-part story. Something doesn't add up, like if Aona's father own a company, why they live in an apartment and not a big house. His father is just envious that his son has talent and will likely to be more successful than him. Reminds me of a FML website story when mother destroy her daughter's MIT recommendation letter.

The popcorn popping out of the head of the child is a pretty interesting allegory.
Too bad that he's talented for art but limited because of his father's wish for his future job, and his mother's condition is also really weird and mysterious... and it's only the first half of the story, I wonder how they'll conclude that next time.

Episode 7 is out, titled.Popcorn head part one with ramune and kuro leaving the hospital when they run into Aona, who has popcorn that disappears after awhile coming out of his head. We learn that this could be the idea that holding your thoughts and ideas in could make you explode just like popcorn. Aona’s mother is also in the hospital, and aona is known for his art but he has quit as apparently his mum is sick since aona doesnt study, according to his father. Kuro says that he has no friends, so ramune forces him to talk with aona and the three end up having a sleepover and having fun with the materials ramune got from his hospital stay. Aona’s father comes to collect him, and shouts at ramune, who doubts the story as aona was seen in the orthopedic wing for bones and not the cardiovascular wing for the heart, and more things are not adding up. Aona is grounded and stops coming to school altogether due to his fathers demand.

The series is divulging a lot from the monster of the week format to biweekly arcs, seems interesting and I'm enjoying it so far!

So we get another two part episode except this time mini arc revolves around Aona who was visiting the hospital because his mom was sick. Kuro and Ramune finds out that Aona likes to make strange objects, but for some reason it makes Aona's mother sad and his Dad blames him for putting his mother in the hospital. Aona was forced to stop making things he loves the most which results in popcorn coming out of his head. We don't know exactly what kind of condition Aona's mother is in so we have to wait until next week to find out.

Interesting case, indeed. Imagine being an art genius but pressured to took it down for the sake of a mere greedy by a certain adult. It must be hurt, and blew up the sparks into a piece of popcorn. I even guess that the mother might be getting such a harrashment too from her own husband, with how the plot went it. Well, thats too bad. Strange supernatural case, but ironically its relatable by what happened lately in these world of society.

Ramune sensei, solve that shit with your eccentric specialty!

Nice start to this 2 parter, another weird food related case lol. Aona being restricted from doing what he loves is really rough of his father to do, and there’s more than meets the eye to his mom’s illness as well, got me pretty excited for next week’s episode. Also I really like the things Aona makes, a lot of cute and weird stuff.

In a strange way this shows tries to highlight the various social problems we face. The stress, pressure, love, affection and many more of those feelings are perfectly highlighted in this show. We may not get those strange disease but we get sick by those same things sometimes. I like how the author tried to show us the reality of real life and in a strange way showed how to overcome it.

That was definitely my favorite episode so far, that was great. Aona is a pretty interesting character. Kinda regret not cooking popcorn for this episode, would have made the experience better lmao.

I really like the symbolism for the popcorn, that's one shitty dad forcing his goals on his kid. Looking forward to the next episode.

I felt for Aona. He has so many people supporting him & looking forward to his creations, yet his own father is so disapproving. I also wonder what really happened to the mum. I really liked the scene of Kuro & Aona building the house together. Kuro is a quiet kid but he is kind in his ways, cleaning up for Aona & being so thoughtful of him. Such a nice kid.

Another 2-parter, and it's head-bursting popcorn time from Kuro's classmate Aona Shun!

Aona's situation presents a lot about the real world's problems, from familial expectations to personal stress. It's sad that Aoba couldn't do what he wanted to do...his arts and craft interest, but then again, if there's a lot of people expressing interest, then he must deliver with the overwhelming pressure. And all of this observation task, is left to Kuro to handle.

Kuro-pi just can't leave Aona alone, and that's essentially for the better. It's nice to have both boys build a house together with the sparkles. Ramune taking over with full force...acting like a parent huh.

The moment of Aona's dad barging Ramune's place, that is a re-awakening moment of silence and force I can't bear to tolerate...here's hoping things'll be resolved in Part 2 (to which is certain).

The more I watched this show, the more promising it looks.
I was about to drop it after finishing watching ep#3. But I continued cuz the overall series gives off a relaxing vibe. Ep#4 was a bit better and the last 2 eps (the dumpling arc) totally changed my mind of regarding this as a boring show.
I like how this show handles ppl’s troubles & feelings in such an unique way. I really felt for the mum & sons in the last ep and Aona in this ep. Good shows are always able to make them relatable to their audiences.
Besides, the 2 main characters started to grow on me during the dumpling arc.

What I meant to say was that the Popcorn thing was strange. Maybe strangest of the cases so far or maybe the funniest. Considering Aona's case, I know that's a real world problem. Have seen so many people going through it myself.

Popcorn Head, Part 1. This was a sad story of a kid with supressed feeling. Aona cant do what he loves, and that is art. Apparently his mom is in the hospital and his dad told him that, the main reason for her to be in the hospital is because she is stressed as she cannot control her son from playing around and making things. These feelings after a while get too pressurized and pop, like popcorn. Another two-part story. This sadly shows the reality of so many children. Quite sad.

Aona is such a sweet kid, and he's also really creative. It's sad that his dad tries to supress it. Seeing the kid's ideas pop out and fade away from him is too heart breaking.

Kuro also made me sad when he said he doesn't go to school to make friends. Since he's a good boy, I want him to be happy.

The dad acts like he cares a lot about his son, but he's very mentally abusive. Also, it looks like he is jealous of his son. Guess we'll have to wait for the next episode to know exactly what's going on with him.

Some random person appeared on the bridge. I wonder if they're going to be the focus of the next case.

This is looking like it is heading to a similar conclusion as xxxHolic, but I hope it's not. My heart can't take that much sadness.

I feel bad for Shun :( he's so happy making stuff but his father forbid it :(
I think his father physically abuse his mother! that's so terrible :(

I'm confused, I thought Kuro is living with Ramune? why he call and ask for Kuro to have an overnight?

Let Aona do what he wants to do. People usually think art won't bring money but Aona is really talented and creative to the point brands would scout him so he'll still get rich doing what he likes to do, what's the problem...shitty Pappy XD

Kuro why did you even listen to him and put your finger in his navel, that's gross ( ̄▽ ̄)

Shun sure is an eccentric figure especially with the popcorn representing his creativity popping away from his head. Curious to see what is actually going on with the mother and why the father denies his creativity.
