Okay, seriously, you're taking this way too personally and you're having a typical emotional outburst rather than looking at it from a logical perspective. If Kai really was this "Evil Bitch" as you keep calling her, she either wouldn't have responded at all when Bocchi called her or she would have she would went to Bocchi's face and said some very hurtful things like, "I don't know you, leave me alone! You're annoying!"

And you saying that Kai's tears were just a poor attempt to make the audience sympathize with her is laughable when you considered she told her own friends everything about Bocchi. The entire point of that scene was it was too early for her to start being friends with Bocchi again given to how clingy she was to Kai before. Have you ever had a friend like that? A friend who was always to getting involved in everything you do even though they're not wanted. And it got to the point where you just wish they leave you alone? If you had, you would understand Kai's position a lot better.

And saying that Kai took great delight in treating Bocchi like that? You're assuming far too much my friend, and I really question your logic. And before you start going, "But she gave Bocchi an impossible task!" do you seriously believe Kai meant that literally?

Take the time to actually think about what you're saying before spouting your mouth off like you have been. That kind of behavior is going to get you into trouble one of these days.


That's a lie, i have never called her a bitch!! You did fun fact =)

Kai did something very hurtful she totally ignores bocchis existence! She was lying in a fetal position crying her lungs out after that savage attack. That one can be describe as choosing your words "hurtful things" She looks hurt to me

You need to understand different tastes ,this episode don't fall very well with my taste , its to dark depressing and my girl is crying. Every fibre in my body is fighting a war with that episode. It was one of the worst i have ever seen. That makes me feel uncomfortable, and that is something i forbid in my cute girl shows. If my opinions are not to your liking don't read my posts!!

Bocchi breakdown was one of the most horrible thing i ever witness ,and clearly shows that kai is only out to break her down, and doing just that.And have done that for a long time

I'm assuming to much?? Excuse me do we have a rule here that forbids my speculations? Or a certain among of speculations? Oh so i'm going to get in trouble now? What do you mean by that?????

I don't like Kai attitude... I mean, it's obvious the whole promisse thing is because she was worried about Bocchi being alone and not make any friends in her new school (understandable)

ok... but, Bocchi is doing great... she is in the karaoke with three friends in the summer vacation, after only one semester! this is one hell of a big step for someone like Bocchi ^^'

Kai didn't need to finish the act and say that "it's ok, we're friends again" already... but at least say something to Bocchi and encourage her... "you doing well!", "at this rate, you'll fufill our promisse in no time" ...

anything that don't make poor little Bocchi to cry XD

Psychopath often make up story's about their former partner in a manipulative manner,kai have been missing her victim she usually bullies yes, That doesn't prove that she care about her, the first thing she do is to attack her so my argue are kind of valid

You're calling Kai a psychopath now? You really do believe you know everything, don't you? Your lack of experience in the real world real shows and that's why I said that kind of behavior is going to get you into trouble one day. Allow me to elaborate.

If you don't start thinking for yourself and start looking at things with intelligence instead of emotion there will come a day when you will end up doing something you're not going to able to undo and it will cause someone to get hurt, or worse killed. And when all is said and done the people around will look at you with disgust and rightfully blame you for what happen. Then one by one they will abandon you because they want nothing more to do with you, all because you acted out of emotion without ever thinking things through and caused a tragedy that could have been avoided. And then, unless you managed to redeem yourself, you will live the rest of your life alone and when you die no one, aside from maybe your own family, will attend your funeral because the memory of what you did will still be fresh in their minds and they'll be overjoyed when your gone.

And that, my friend, is the worst way to have reality to come knocking at your door.
"You talk too much. Think too much."
"I don't care how justified you think your reasons are. I won't tolerate liars or thieves."
"If you're not going to be nice to me, don't expect me to be nice to you."

"The world doesn't revolve around you. Get that through your thick skull."
"People who live by their emotions go nowhere in their lives. They only find misery.

Hahaha, what a funny episode, but with a sad ending. Many times, Bocchi makes me feel sorry for someone else. Rayos !, Kai at least you could not say a "Hello" ?.

At the very best her plan is a pretty cruel way to make Bocchi make new friends.

Are people really surprised that Kai was being serious about the "make friends with everyone" thing? If she wasn't, the series wouldn't have a reason to exist. It's a far-fetched premise, but this is a 4-koma, so a far-fetched premise gets a pass if it leads to laughs and/or cuteness.

In the first episode I had the same thoughts toward Kai that a lot of you are having, but I'm less inclined to think that way now that they've shown the emotional toll this is having on both of them. We don't know much about Kai yet (in the anime), but she seems similar to Bocchi in that they both come up with big, ambitious plans that are unlikely to succeed; the difference is that Kai actually follows through with them, leading to their current predicament.

The ending even hints that Bocchi's happiness with her newfound friends outweighs her sadness at not being with Kai-chan, showing that she's become less dependent on Kai-chan and is maybe even outgrowing her. It'll be interesting to see how they decide to end the season with regard to the Kai-Bocchi relationship.

But really though, this episode was great. Favorite moments were a sheepish Aru jumping back in the pool and Sotoka's amazement at being called cool. Drink bar.


It was not a promise it was a ultimatum ,that said, Do this or i'm not your friend, witch make it a physical abuse, that and a promise are very two different things .So early on kai have a habit to attack Bocchi

She sending Bocchi on a mission she never can complete, and Kai knows that, but she get pleasure when she playing with Bocchis feeling and want her to fail ,otherwise she haven't give her a impossible task

Kai is one of the most evil and despicable characters i have ever seen in anime and too see how happy she look after the latest attack is sickening

But hey i'm not saying that your observation or opinions is wrong or anything like that, mine is just different

I just see her as very dangerous!!! And because of that she need to be removed before she cast greater harm


haha you're taking-in this too much! chill down!

No series would be complete without the beach/pool episode and here it is. They all looked good in their swimsuits and obviously Bocchi had to wear the school one (just like Sotoka as a good apprentice). Smug Aru over Nako not knowing how to swim was great and of course, she harvested what she sowed.

Then they all went to karaoke and when we were going to listen the much-loved Aru song, Kai appeared and for the first time I can say that I didn't like something of this show. I understand that what Kai wants to achieve with Bocchi goes beyond their promise and I understand that they are still kids and all that but it seems to me that the scene could have been done better. Like, why make Kai completely ignore and literally leave the friend she's trying to help crying on the floor? In the first episode we saw how it hurt to Kai to make that promise and the scene didn't have a really serious tone, so why make it so harsh now? They didn't even needed to make Kai super friendly to Bocchi, a thumbs up while she was with her back turned would have been enough to cheer Bocchi up and show her that she's on the right path, something! She is supposed to be helping her, not wanting to traumatize her more.

Another thing I would have expected from that scene is that Nako or Aru would confront Kai for her attitude, I find it weird that Bocchi ended up crying on the floor and the others only looked at her. They could have had one of them confront Kai at that moment, see her crying and talked about it, something! IIt was kinda weird that Bocchi's friends just accepted what happened... The double barf was funny though.

And finally the last girl from the opening showed up, I'm glad to hear Ichinose Kana, I really like her voice. It seems that Bocchi had a rather difficult start with her, let's see how their relationship develops.

Kai-chan being cold to Bocchi so she grows while hoping Bocchi forgets about her is really sad. She still does it anyway despite liking Bocchi :(
I still feel bad for Bocchi :(

Instead of Cavfee and Gween Tea we got Jrink Var :3
I don't get why Aru doesn't want Sotaka to be beside her. She's pretty gifted too surprisingly for an unfortunate --(Who are you calling an unfortunate!!) not at Sotaka's level but still. It would have been even funnier if Aru challenged Nako again for swimming.
I can see her fail again against Nako lmao

Gotta admit that shit was funny when it got followed up with "I think" I couldn't tell if Kai was the one that really said that or that was just Bocchi's Kai imagination took a jab at her.
At least Bocchi knows Kai is only doing this for her sake.

yikes, kai is a little cruel to bocchi. i get wanting a close friend to gain more friends is a good thing and out of good will, but ditching them instead of helping them isn't good. her intentions are probably to get the best for bocchi, but the execution is poor.
i also can't take her seriously cause "kai" in thai means chicken..

I still have mixed feelings about her old friend. Not only because of all the anxiety it has given Bocchi but also because the both of them are under emotional turmoil. In any case, I'm just happy Bocchi has a group of nice friends now.

I'm not sure I understand kai-chan's reasoning. I get that she knows Bocchi has social anxiety but just "unfriending" her and then ignoring her like she's mad or something doesn't make much sense. What does Kai-chan think happens if she just stays friends with her? It's just kinda messed up and she's handling it wrong in my opinion.

Kai-chan is on my shitlist. However good her intentions, it won't erase her cruel behaviour this episode toward not only her friend, but also one with crippling social anxiety. I get she's a kid but the anime presents them as wiser beyond their years at other times so I'm holding them to that. Kid or not, cruel is cruel. First impressions are lasting so I don't see myself ever liking Kai-chan but she means a lot to Bocchi so I hope for her sake they reconcile.

This episode had me teary eyed from the part she had her dream & during her serious talk at the bench. Was then in tears along with Bocchi during Kai's scene! That truly felt so harsh though I do feel Kai is getting too much hate even though we've yet to fully understand her thoughts.

This is certainly not the most mentally healthy way to support Bocchi but I truly do believe Kai is doing what she believes is the best in her own way. Since this encounter happened without warning or way to prepare I can imagine Kai didn't know how to handle her emotions and even though she may have wanted to speak, she feared Bocchi going back to her old self, possibly losing her new friends and once more depending on her even though she won't be able to be there for her during the scary harshness of being alone during school hours. I'm 100% sure Bocchi won't lose her friends but Kai knows nothing about what Bocchi's relationship with them is like so in that split moment and with all the emotions building up it'd be hard to know how returning to Bocchi's life would affect Bocchi. She knows Bocchi was able to make friends and even though this tough love is being extremely harsh on Kai's self as well maybe she thought not meddling until the promise is fulfilled will be the best way to ensure Bocchi is able to maintain the new friends she's made and proactive attitude she's gotten. Not saying anything may have been her messy way of showing support because she does believe Bocchi will manage to fulfill her promise or at the very least enjoy her time attempting to.

I feel it's best to focus on the friend who is hurt (Bocchi in this case) & make attempts at soothing their emotions rather than confronting the aggressor/cause & leaving alone the one in pain. So from my perspective they were doing the right thing. Considering their personalities it is possible they would have confronted Kai but I believe that it shocked even them that their attempt to have Bocchi feel better ended in her crying even louder. Very different to her usual crybaby tears so it's understandable they may have been shocked not knowing what to do or how to handle the situation. They don't know much about Kai either in order to meddle.

Seriousness aside her hairbuns look sooooooooooooooooo adorable on her! I love the hairstyle

Kai-chan is an idiot. I understand she means well but she's being too cold to poor Bocchi and gave unrealistically high standards for her. Any sane and caring friend would only set small goals regularly to meet a larger goal not outright abandon their friend and force them to fend for themselves on an enormous task. Bocchi's problem is anxiety not lack of self reliance.

Huh, the pool, quite a lot of fanservice in that part.. Damn, finally we see Kai in the current timeline, instead of in flashbacks. That was cool.

I enjoyed the pool scenes, and Aru's attempt to find some leverage in regards to Nako's teasing was over-the-top in all the right ways. Also, both of their swimsuits are damn cute. I don't really swim, so I just buy one of those $5 bikinis at Walmart every time I visit my grandpas who have a pool and get rid of it after. But anime swimsuits, man. Sometimes I get THIS CLOSE to searching for similar swimsuits online so I can own one, lol.

I really want to write more on why I think Bocchi and Kai are both really shitty friends in general (though given age and context and stuff, it's understandable) but I'll save that for the finale this week. I just really wanted to say something about the swimsuits since everything else here is "MY FEELS! UGH KAI-CHAN" and this was a pool scene I really appreciated for once. Kinda sad that I'm impressed by a slice-of-life anime not sexualizing 13-year-olds while they do normal summer things, but eh. It's a start.

Damn, that scene when Bocchi was reunited with Kai-chan was sad.

Still, I want an explanation to the whole "we won't be friends until you befriend all your classmates".

This making all your classmates friends to be friends with Kai-chan again is BS. Why make friends with everyone? She already made enough friends. Kai-chan's cold treatment is just uncalled for. The least she can do is acknowledge than ignore her. And why did Aru, Satoko, and even Nako say anything to her so-called friend? She knows Bocchi is crying and she did nothing.

Bocch is better off without her and have fun with her current friends.

That scene really ruined the episode for me. Nothing liking this in my cute, anime comedy.

I expected Nao to say something to Kai. Bocchi was truly sad this time.

Bocchi's plan to be friends with the other girl failed so badly haha.

Maybe the meaning of ็ต•ไบค was lost in translation a bit... Kai-chan was simply keeping her promise here, not being unnecessarily cold

I still think the promise is a bit overkill, like befriending 3 people is on its own already an achievement for someone like Bocchi, but the whole class....

Well can't argue with comedy anime logic.

I think I've not seen for ages girls on swings in anime.. Nice to see.. ;p
Aru and Sotoka getting along quite well, it seems, which is also nice.. ;p They both can be energetic and positive, at times air-headed.. I just like how they look together as friends, honestly.. ;P
Honestly, it's too much from Kai.. Come on, Bocchi already got friends.. Expect anyone to befriend whole class is ridiculous, really.. You already achieved what you wished for, Kai.. Just start talking with Bocchi again.. It is very sad..
Interesting hint from Sotoka about wanting to become ninja related to her family.. Hope, we'll get more of this later..

couldnt help but be a bit annoyed with Bocchi met with Kai but at the same time i can understand why Kai is doing this but also at the same time she's taking a huge risk by doing so

it may be still fresh atm but who know how things will end up later though i dont think Bocchi would be the type to forget Kai later on but still there is that chance it could happen as its a natural thing the more you spend apart from someone the more you can end up forgetting about them and moving on

but will see how this series goes the anime is only a few more eps but hoping to read the manga right after

but wow that part when they met each other game was pretty intense then they both threw up lol

anyway great ep

I don't like Kai-chan...

Her logic is about as twisted as Ayano's mom in Hanebado.


Now, now, let's not exaggerate. Kai-chan's ultimatum is easily the worst aspect of this series but at least it jump starts the plot. Plus she's cute and it's blatantly obvious she genuninely loves Bocchi. The mom in Hanebado was so fucking terrible and pissed me off so fucking much I dropped that trash like the garbage it was solely because of it/her. Seriously, fuck that cunt.(And I don't mean literally as she doesn't deserve to be fucked by anyone.)

Yeah Kai is a just a bitch. Let's be honest, that ultimatum was always pretty fucked up but this is a cute girls show so I just take it as comedy/quirky premise. Still when she straight up ignores Bocchi despite seeing that she made some friends I can't help but go "wtf."

Kai-chan is the main antagonist of Hitoribocchi. She is a ruthless, heartless monster who toyed with Bocchi’s friendship with her and her social anxiety, ultimately treating her like garbage upon their reunion.

Write that up for her on Villains Wiki.

Kai-chan doesn't deserve Bocchi's friendship. It's as simply as that. Her logic is so sick and twisted.

But the episode was still pretty amazing and probably the best one so far. The girls were having so much fun together. :3 However, the ending was very emotional with Bocchi crying like a baby. :( Poor girl..

This whole thing with Kai-chan and Bocchi is very weird and seems well over the top (really, a close group of friends should be enough), but I suppose it's what drives the plot. Still very funny and entertaining.

I was initially thinking Kai is going to become the show's antagonist or something, despite the anime being light-hearted. But yeah, she seems to genuinely like Bocchi, although her "befriend the whole class" task is rather questionable. I kind of wish they both actually interacted in this episode.

I'll never get tired of Bocchi's reactions. xD

Poor girl. She tried to befriend Kako, but her plan failed miserably. :(

Bocchi teaching Aru to swim was fun. Everyone looked so cute in their swimsuits. <3

I liked the karaoke part. However, it was a really sad moment when Kai made Bocchi cry. Well, at least she seems to happy that Bocchi had made some friends, but I really can't understand her twisted logic.
