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!!!

That face at the beginning that Naru made was a lol.

Handa's reaction to Tama's manga was hilarious.

Tama denied her fujoshi self.

Naru's face at the beginning! xD

And I love Handa' reaction to Tama's gore manga. I would probably react similarly.

The part after the ending was sooo cute with Naru!

Awesome. I love Naru!
Great humour this ep. Hahahaha. Lotsa fun moments.
It's nice, the "Go ahead".

Needles fell eh? :) Interesting metaphors.

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!

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.


Reminded me of something from Nichijou.

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!

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

Soul Eater lol

Best show of the season, to me. Because it isn't plain shit, nor does it try to over achieve. It just is.

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.

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.


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.

The more I watch of this anime, the more I believe that this is the best slice of life anime this season! Naru has to be my favorite character and I really want a kid like her in my life. She is so optimistic, spunky, and funny!
So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS!

Tama is fujoshi in denial. Her idea about shounen manga hilarious too.
Sensei, you didn't even get one mochi? you sucks! XD

Especially the part where Tama asked Sensei to give her feedback on her manga. Was hilarious how she gave her opinion on what a boys manga should be.

Episode of the Season.

Under ten seconds and no spoken dialogue yet but I was already rolling on the floor. This definitely set the record for "fastest to make you laugh" for me. MANDOM! NARU <3!

Tama, just join the dark side XD!

I gotta ask, what's the regional accent they use in this show?
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

"May those who defy their fate be granted glory."

Back to form with the well-paced comedy. Episode 2 was much too frantic. Didn't really care for the BL cliche, but I liked the girl's enthusiasm about shounen manga. Naru's face was indeed hilarious.
