im not a huge fan of yamai in the manga, but i LOVED this episode. the animation and voice acting really kicked up the comedy with her and i had fun every second she was on screen. the execution of this anime so far is top tier, its a manga that i really enjoy but not one of my all time faves or anything, so im super pleasantly surprised by how much i look forward to each new episode!

Wow Yamai got really obsessed with Shouko, so that her bedroom was full of Komi's photos. Eerie xD

Yamai decided that she would sit beside Komi the whole year, so she kidnapped and trapped Tadano at her bedroom. After all, Najimi had the idea to go to her house. As if he suspected (even though he didn't).

After all the mess, she decided to apologize for Tadano (in a weird way) and to Komi. Now she knows what Shouko's issues are. Maybe Yamai will change for good from now on...

Komi's confession to Tadano was so wholesome.

Yadano Makeru, the overly competitive girl is making her debut, Yadano I recall is a play on I hate losing, basically every character in this series has a meaning behind their full name. I honestly didn't realize she has pink hair, I thought it would be brown, but perhaps I forgot to remember the colour spread of the characters.

FUCK


Here comes one of the biggest prickly thorns for Tadano, the yandere herself Yamai Ren, her obsession with Komi is unreal even amongst the other students, her willingness to abduct Tadano proves just how absolutely loathsome of a person she is. Even Komi herself stood up to her for her selfish action, but alas she eventually became one of Komi's friends. Still, she's a genuine asshole for sure, I fucking hate her with passion.

Filthy little stalker cunt, even after all these years I still despise Yamai. Funny how yanderes can look so appealing when they're the main character but when they're the side character, there's no greater abomination than they are.

Now there's a new character in place but isn't that obsessed with Komi or at least doesn't want to lose against Komi instead

Ok that got weird in 1 second what's going to happen to Tadano now is he dead, Well that's a rough spot to be in, Yamai is Yabai this bitch doesn't give a hell who stand in her way when it comes to Komi

At least she apologized and I doubt she'll change but maybe it's for the best, Now Komi's a bit concerned for Tadano which she should be concerned for her friends a lot since people like Yamai are out there.

Yamai Ren is creepy. She collected Komi-san's hair and licked it. She also seem kind of a psycho but I get it she's supposed to be a yandere. Seeing the room Tadano was locked into with the pictures too. She literally kidnapped him how is she not in jail. With the pictures it also shows that she's a stalker too. I don't like Yamai, so far I think she my least favorite character but she does make the story a bit more interesting. When she apologized it didn't even seem like she meant it either. I wouldn't be surprised if she threatens him again or kidnaps him again.

Also the part where Komi-san spoke was cute. So far my favorite characters are Komi-san, Tadano and Najimi.

Komi-san is so cute as always.

It's nice that Komi-san is turning out to be the kind of show that it is. After watching more, how would I say, dense and plot heavy shows recently, I'm happy that I can have a simple slice of life type anime like this one.

Komi-san uses its screen time to emphasize the importance of having friends that can understand how your feeling, communicate properly with you, and help you when you need it. This is also true vice versa.

In addition and in connection to the previous point, Komi-san also focuses on how unhealthy it is to choose friends solely based on status, physical looks, or out of personal gain. Sure, Komi might have looked like she had so many friends prior to meeting Tadano. Eventually, we see it for what it is when we learn the truth, and we begin to realize how much more it means to have one true friend than many fake friends that don't know you very well and vice versa.

And in this day and age, I feel like that's a very good message to teach people.

やまい れん (Yamai Ren), is written with the characters for mountain and well but can also be written as 病 to mean illness. While れん (Ren) is an alternate reading of 恋 (koi) ,which means love.

With Illness and love combined, it depicts of her huge obsession for Komi-san while carrying hostility toward someone who are close to Komi-san (Also known as Yandere)


Oh nice, thank you! that one was way too advanced for me.

Yanderes are a disgusting piece of crap and one of the worst stereotypes/tropes ever made by Japan (Close second to Tsunderes), and this show attempting to make it over the top in order to make it "funny" backfires a lot, I ended up being disgusted and I cringed so hard.

Are they going to keep on throwing 1 dimensional stereotypes to the equation every episode? When are the characters going to develop?

You know what, the adaptation had the clear chance of becoming better than the source material had they totally omitted Yamai Ren.
That's how derogatory to the series she is. After all, the school is full of characters satisfying a certain archetype, and the mangaka thought they had to go all out to present some sort of outrageous dark comedy. Kudos to the seiyuu tho, she carried the cringefest throughout.

This episode was wild, a new character, Makeru, was introduced and she’s very competitive over simple things when it comes to Komi, I’m guessing she’ll be a gag character going forward. As for the majority of the episode, we learned a lot more about Yamai, and she turned out to be more than just a mean girl, she’s a bit of a psycho with an extreme fixation on Komi. Now I know what she did was inexcusable, but I think she’s a very fun character personally, and while everyone else is gonna be hating her, I’m gonna be secretly loving her lol, she made me laugh quite a bit. It made for a very interesting episode as well.

Everyone wants a bit of Komi-san in their life. Damn, Ren was more intense than I thought but, her yandere moments were quite funny. It got pretty emotional towards the end of the episode. Komi-san really does care for the welfare of Tadano. Komi-san spoke and ren's apology, even though half-assed, marked the end of the current problems, for now.

Jesus Christ.

Can you all fucking relax? Every single character in this show is a walking trope taken to the extreme and isnt meant to be taken so fucking seriously.


Yes Yamai Ren is a disgusting crazy yandere. Duh, yes that is the fucking point.

This has been done a million times in all kinds of anime regardless of genre and demographic. Why the hell is it now a problem that needs solving?

I dont like Yamai either but people dropping this series for what is a freaking trope that not even the characters harmed by it take seriously.....you all need a chill pill.


And honestly seeing people so outraged by her when last season(and two before) we had motherfuckers cheering for Satoko Houjo and her war crimes is fucking surreal.

Ya all are being too judgemental to Yamai. Course she's a crazy bitch but that just made this ep felt like it had life and sadly her yandere adventures will more or less end here on out. And u can't deny that it was due to her unintended as it may be that led to that heart to heart moment. So basically cringe humor can be good.

Such a sweet episode! I do like the class dynamic, everybody thinks Komi-san is a God, nobody is worthy of getting close to her. Except for themself!

This series could have gone in a multitude of directions, but OLM definitely put this on the right track! So, 4 friends, 96 left to go?

An amazing episode, I love Yadano's character/personality. She's quite fun and competitive xD On the otherside, Ren's character is getting some more build up. I get the hate she gets, but she makes the serie funnier imo. Her yandere actions are quite hilarious to see but they're OVER the top. Komi trying to talk in the end was just wholesome. Beautiful scenery and soundtrack behind it. Yandere Yamai maanged to make things up with everyone. Happy ending for everyone except for Tadano who got bullied to death.

Yamai Ren reminded me of how scared I am of yanderes. I was on the edge of my seat worried that she'd do something crazy (or crazier than kidnapping Tadano-kun XD).

At least Komi-san relieved my tension by being so cute, and I celebrated that sentence she said to Tadano-kun as if it were a goal.

Najimi was gold, as always; and we got to see a few seconds of Agari, not bad :3

Up until now Yamai had just been the 'popular group girl' who was covering up her mega bitch side whenever she completely talked down to Tadano. Yes we'd seen her talk like a fanatic about Komi, but no more than all the other in the class, so holy hell was it taken up to 11 this episode.

Taking strand of Komi's hair. Licking it and then saving it for later, the insane amount of pictures and the straight up kidnapping and zero hesitation about later killing Tadano! Why the hell did none of them report her and get her in a damn straight jacket!

They even went so far as to let her be 'friends' with Komi. I fear for Tadano going forward now, because nothing good can happen with that psycho always hanging around :S

I really wanted to like this episode but I just can't overlook the fact that Yamai kidnapped Tadano, stalked Komi (even captured a piece of her hair and put it in a ziploc), had multiple walls worth of Komi photos, and threatened to kill Tadano. All of this could have been handled properly if Yamai was appropriately reported to the police for being the creepy stalker she is but instead she's forgiven the very next day! Like what the actual fuck.

People may state that the characters are exaggerated, and sure, that may be true. However, that doens't excuse normalizing a relationship between a stalker and the stalked. It doesn't excuse normalizing a relationship between the kidnapped and a kidnapper. Imagine if Yamai was a guy instead. There would rightfully be a lot of outrage as to how the relationship is abusive and dangerous and there would even be cries to lock Yamai up at all costs. As much as I liked so many facets of this episode (and the show as a whole), I can't in good conscious say that this was anything other then terrifying and disgusting.
