HOLY SHIT, that dog lol. I thought it had rabies or something for a moment there.

I thought episode was great with the humor. I probably shouldn't laugh but watching Seishuu learning about manga. LOL, great episode.

Ahh, sweet red beans soup, I'm craving for it.

Nice episode, it was less funny than the previous ones though. Nice to see they included Tama's fujoshi story!

And Naru's scream is so cute!

I immediately started laughing when I saw Naru's face in the beginning. It was so manly and looked really awkward with her tiny body.
Tama was pretty intense when she tried to get Handa to look over her manga. The way she reacts whenever she sees BL is hilarious.

Tama creates some pretty scary manga, the manga that she lent him to try out and understand manga was FMA and Soul eater which was pretty cool. The Mochi-picking was very cool. lol Naru's school teacher at the end there using those poor crayfish as bait.

My god, the first half was HILARIOUS!!!

The opening scene with 'grown up' Naru n that that ugly face was damn funny.

Tama and her manga n love for BL stuff was hilarious too. Herpanicking and runnin to senseis home and seeing that one hug scene had me laughing my head off

The second half was a little meh... xp... was sweet and all, but felt a little exaggerated. Seemed a bit unusual to contemplate giving up calligraphy jus cos he got second place xp. Still, nice development of Handa.

Nice episode overall tho. I want more Naru moments!

Another nice ep ^^

Dat Golgo Naru Monologue with her adult face XD And MANDOM XDXDXD

The shop owner telling him what Naru prefers was sweet. She knew right away he's thinking of buying stuff for her ^^

Dat Manga...Dat Gore was hilarious XD Tama's anger was so lol XD

Dat misunderstanding of Handa hugging Hiroshi. She really is a Fujoshi..Her reaction to the first time she read Yaoi was so lol XD And her "God is testing me" XD

The mochi catch was nice too. Panchi is so lol XD

Naru is just tooo kawaiii <3

An episode filled with lots of laughs. I can't believe I laughed 5 seconds into the anime with that shounen face Naru had. I knew Tama was into BL but the process of her journey to "the dark other side" was freaking hilarious. Shes probably the most dangerous person on the island too. Naru being tramatized with the fish bait at the end of the credits was also funny to watch.

This anime defintely has one of the best opening and ending themes of its genre this anime season.


If you are going to recommend manga it might as well be masterpieces like Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater!

LOL at Naru's face in the beginning XD Poor Naru when she read "kuchi" as the katakana "ro". Her change of expression was just gold.

Man I love how they are able to change the mood from hilarious to sad, and then inspirational so effortlessly. Getting first place isn't everything Handa! Just keep trying!

But seriously, Tama and her gore manga. Was not expecting that at all, and love all the things she was saying about doing something fresh instead of going with the shounen trend. And omg the fujoshi part and how it traumatized her. I never thought this girl would be so funny!!!

Fujoshi reactions. LOL.
Hahahaha, Kenta seems to like Naru. It'll be interesting if that little guy picks a fight with Handa. LOL.

This saved my life after witnessing Rail Wars. Hah!

Shipping sensei and hiro so bad. THE FIRST HALF WAS HILARIOUS. Literally laughed my head off. The second was good too
Truly a gem, didn't think it would be so good.
Its almost as good as Zankyou, if not better.

LOL, Naru's face and what she's saying are freaking hilarious XD.

MANDOM!

Awwww, Naru's face of disappointment T.T

Handa-sensei's thinking of Naru :3

Grandma showdown and the poodle went berserk lol.

Um... that's one creepy ass manga there...

Ok... Tamako went nuts when Handa-sensei said she should draw and write a manga about boy-like things.

Oh look, Fullmetal Alchemist and Soul Eater!

Tamako, you clearly need to silence sensei by any means necessary!

Still you kept flipping the pages of that BL manga Tamako...

OMG! A BROMANCE moment between Handa-sensei and Hiroshi! Oh, he just slipped, phew, that was a close call, I was about to say sensei was going down the wrong path XD.

Awww, poor Handa-sensei didn't win again...

Everyone is worrying about sensei's mood :3

That mochi picking thing seems like a freaking blood bath with those mochi picking monsters lol.

Mochi life lessons... I feel like I've reached another stage in my life.

Naru's traumatized now with that crayfish scene...

Another great episode and I hope this anime will never end!

Funny and warm episode.

Naru's adult face at the beginning & the face transition after she found out that she read the kana wrongly LOL. Poor Tama can't handle her feels, and nothing's wrong with wanting to be a manga artist eventhough it is some gore horror lol but she is so funny hahahah.

Awesome Soul Eater and FMA references. Naru's manly face was hilarious too.

The first half was absolutely golden. I expected Arai to be a normal yaoi loving fujoshi but it seems like she's into horror and hate BL.

I wouldn't say it was over exaggerated at all. If you've spent your life doing something, made a career out of it and are a very prideful individual, someone who has just entered the scene beating a piece of work you put a lot of effort into can really knock you down pretty hard. Since he's already in a pretty sorry state in the first place, it's understandable.

Great episode, this anime really is the dark horse of the season.
