A new punch for Inami?

And Satou, will your love ever be responded?

Chi, that kept me laughing the whole time. every character is either funny as hell or part of a funny as hell combo, it's great! Nazuna's so cute, despite being the tallest elementary school student ever.

Another great episode. I can definitely see slow development between Inami and Takanashi. Yamada was pretty funny throughout this episode; I wish she'd get more screentime.

Next episode: satou and Yachiyo? Yachiyo is OK, but I really want to see more Satou :)

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Nazuna <3 <3 <3 My prediction came true. Takanashi IS masochist.

Very good episode. Inami's punching is now becoming more and more legit. last part punching paradox was funny; I think Inami will end up curing androphobia, but except Takanashi.

Alright the opening was alittle funny but I didn't need a recap of what happened its hard enough trying to forget. Katanashi looks inocent in the anime xdressing but it wouldn't look like that in person, I'd rather forget about it and move on. And ge Inami takes one step foward and two steps back with every ep. The best part was seeing Yamada draged away by Taka, I would have said the Satou and Yachiyo bit, but that was kind of sad this time. I couldn't think of any reason for the ending shot, pan-out from the break room table, but a few supplimentry ideas of the imagination would make it work.

Takanashi should just punch both Inami and Souma, just once would be enough.

Something inside of me wants Inami to have a definite relationship by the end of the anime, but the comedic value would seem to be obliterated if it happens. Still, this anime is quite quirky so who knows what'll happen.

Nazuna's "interested" look is a bit goofy, but really cute. Her interactions with the flappable Inami were too funny and her misunderstanding wasn't too far off. Her brother is a bit of a masochist. You can hit him all you want, just don't kill him. XD

It's nice to see Takanashi and Inami progressing even through out the misunderstandings. Nazuna was funny in this episode too along with Poplar and her love of Takanashi cross dressing. I feel bad for Satou though he just keeps on getting it and seems like the next episode could be even worse for him.

Not as good as the last episode. Most funny moment was Yamada playing customer and dressing like the manager. I like Yamada. She's really funny and made a cute manager.

Takanshi's little sister makes some dangerous thoughts at times.

And poor wall. Inami really put him to a test.

BTW we had another glimpse of the girl with the classes.

I find it rather funny that Poplar is becoming the "straight" character more and more. We don't see any of her unless its to balance out someone else's craziness. (Somewan, wan wan...)

They really are going all out with Takanashi and Inami's relationship currently, and so far it's been fantastic, I just hope they don't overdo it. Fortunately they're focusing on Satou and Yachio next episode... This show is becoming more and more of a love comedy...

I find it rather ironic that people are complaining about the show having no plot development. Of course it doesn't have a lot of plot development, it was derived from a 4-koma, and is basically an anime sit-com. Plot development is secondary to character interaction, which the show has in spades. Actually, in its genre, Working(!!) has more in the way of plot development than similar animes. Many of them would go a full 13 or 26 episodes and nothing permanent would have changed. If people get upset about the lack of plot development in this series, they should try reading/watching Ranma 1/2.

Also, people either seem to love or hate Mahiru. I am with the former, and it seems like the major problem people have with her is her wanton violence and agitated love/hate feelings. I can understand that, I guess everyone has different tolerances. I reached my limit for this type of interaction about 12 volumes into Love Hina, which is objectively pretty impressive, I think...

This series is depressing to me.

Why must the main character be misunderstood, punched, and be loved by a psycho?
I don't find that a bit funny.

I was eagerly expecting some more attention on other characters, but all we get is Satou being "bullied" by clueless Yachiyo.

Note: I was on the Yamada hating train wagon. I must say, man i was dumb. She is just way too funny.

I wonder if the next three episodes might make justice to the first two episodes.
(Yep, I'm in denial alright.)

These are my exact feelings about Inami.
Actually, I've been noticing lots of aggressive "heroines" lately.
Maybe mangakas are becoming deviants (read masochist) thanks to the slave-driving way companies treat them, and are starting to portray their dark desires on their works.

Seriously, wasn't this show focused on Poplar? (She is kind of the mascot of the show. Isn't she?)
I mean, she was always in first-plan and stuff, yet now she is barely even appearing on screen!

I thought this is pretty typical slice of life show at first but after watching episode 2 and then 3, then 4, then 5, then...10, it became quite entertaining. I may not be all sympathetic with Mahiru's behavior but at least Takanashi justifies the actions. Oh, it's the VAs that kept me watching this also.

Yamada's character was fishy at first but she can be straight forward which can funny. I like her and my favorite char in this show.

Up next is Yachiyo and Saito-san which I look forward to for more development.

Glad to see the relationship sort of progressing. I was expecting for the line about Takanashi as a masochist. And the girl with black hair and glasses again! Don't skip her to the end! But, it's a amusing little detail they're doing. Someone that seems to have no interaction with the staff, but is working there the whole time...

There is a big difference between Inami and your typical abusing girl that makes her a lot more sympathetic.
Inami isn't really a bitch that hits the guy and bitch all the time while yelling at him. She just hits him because of a reflex mental decease.
She even feels bad about it.
That's why i like her. She's not really an annoying bitch that hits others because she likes it. It's just a little program her crazy father imprinted in her brain, her hitting is nothing more than a spontaneous reflex.

Disagree. All this manphobia is just ridiculous, and Inami is annoying more than 75% of bitches hitting people cause they like it.

Yay, quote flood!

Anyway, even if the blame is shifted towards Inami's father, that doesn't mean she isn't wrong herself.
Her efforts to overcome her trauma are nil, and she is just there for comic relief.

I won't say having androphobia is something ridiculous, but using it as excuse to be able to punch all you want out of men is just retarded dumb.

Inami isn't really a bitch that hits the guy and bitch all the time while yelling at him.
I belive she did that twice this episode.

She even feels bad about it.
Narusegawa did feel bad too. How diferent is that?

(I also hate characters that use the "He doesn't understand me!" excuse. I mean, she complains Takanashi doesn't understands her feelings. Well of course he wouldn't be able to understand her! She never talks to him normaly. Actually, she barely talks with him properly... The only "contact" between them is:
Takanashi -Oh hey!
Inami *OMG IZ HIM!*
*Inami punches Takanashi*
Inami -Sorry!
Inami *Runs away*
How am I supposed to like that!?)

As usual a very enjoyable episode! Cosplaying Yamada, Takanashi/Inami and Satou/Yachiyo moments and it was nice having Nazuna in the mix.

Looking forward to next episode! :D

He might actually become M if the abuse proceeds. Nazuna brought a nice entertaining skit for the second half. Todoroki is annoying to ME but i didn't mind switching between her x satou, and Takanashi x inami.

However I am a fan of Inami, have been from the start, and am glad to see the large increase in the number of supporters. I remember by episode 3 i was the only one that wrote a positive comment. Also i have thought of poplar as the most minor character after episode one. We have obtained the least background on poplar than any other character..

I found this one oddly difficult to get through. It seemed almost of a repeat of episode 2 with the focus on Inami punching the living daylights out of Takanashi or the walls...just with Nazuna to shake things up a bit. However, Nazuna didn't do a whole lot this episode so it was mostly Inami-Takanashi stuff. I really find no humour in Inami's violence. I just get annoyed >_>

I couldnt agree more.. I actually found this episode boring..really boring... and this series has kept me pretty entertained so far.. and I think youre absolutely right that they are focusing on Inami's fear of men too much.. it is getting to be a bit overbearing.. it gets old quick...I didnt really care for her much as a character in the first place.. I thought it was sort of funny for 5 or 6 episodes when she would punch a man or something... but now I really think they should just fix her fear totally in the next episode lol.. because they have definately exhausted that in the storyline.

Yachiyo's Kyouko-abstinence is .. I dunno, strange xD

She's pretty grown up, though that wasn't anything new.
