Kotaro is picky with tissues since he had to eat them due to hunger, jesus that's dark.
He's good at pretending to smile and even see's through his teacher's fake smile, smart kid.
A promise is kept as Kotaro meets his old friend to watch the stars, more insight of what's he's been through, having to leave to get away from his father.
Manga-ka is ill and can't delivery his work so Kotaro does it, his reaction to Editor not being with his family is understandable.
It was nice to see him enjoying the tour and asking to do it again, but on a weekday.
Kotaro was buying all the stock because he thought food sample woman was being force to eat them all, funny kid.

almost teared up at the prospect of kotaro having to eat tissues for a living... what a dark episode. the fake smile part hit a little too close to home for me.

lmao at him buying all the stock at the convenience store because he thought the sample lady had to eat all the leftovers though.

That's almost as cute as food as company.

man now that Kotaro has a sponsor and doesn't need to eat tissues due to hunger, it's probably the reason why he's good at budgeting his money for his needs

Originally thought he had some weird obsession with tissues but to think Kotarou ate them is very sad, glad he realises he doesn't need to do that anymore.

Wait was he really eating tissues???
I thought he was just copying his classmates.

It was a dark thought but I didn't think he would do it since he knows how to cook.

With each episode, the title Kotarou Lives Alone is taking on heavier proportions. Every time Kotarou does some funny antic, I quickly find myself caught on a rollercoaster between how adorable it is vs how sad it really is vs how heartwarming it ultimately becomes.

I really liked the main character. He is better than all of the adults.

So he ate tissues when he didn't have food, sad. I knew that something was up when he was talking to his food, because this is Kotarou, not a normal child.

The editor dude has turned out to be a real nice person, he thinks that Kotarou should have fun.

I didn't know the first story would be so dark, eating tissues? That's sad. And the fake smile? Man, Kotaro is so emotionally mature to be able to notice it but it's sometimes cute like the story with the pregnant lady. I hope by the end of this series, Kotaro realize that he is precious and a gift.
