| Episode 6 It's the new school year, and Komura, Mie, and Azuma are all among the students who had perfect attendance the past year. Komura and Mie are once again together, all while they will have the same homeroom teacher. But while Komura sits in the same place in the back, Mie has moved up to the front where he's sitting right by Azuma. It's going to be another interesting school year to say the least as Mie continues to pull through even though her eye sight is poor without her glasses. |
| Why do they need to literally move their desk when they switch seats...can't they just switch seats? |

Silver haired kuudere type |
| Episode 7 Mie comes over to Komura's house for a change. And after showing up in school not wearing a pair of glasses and having to squint so hard to see anything, she finally comes in and wears them. Mie certainly feels right at home there going to show that these two were always meant for each other. Confessions ought to be coming soon, or at least an attempt at it. |
| Er, did he just keep her glasses then? |

| Episode 8 The first half feels just like an episode out of Insomniacs After School, except that Komura and Mie don't actually see each other at night as they are just having a hard time falling asleep all while Mie ends up sleeping with her siblings afterwards. So it turns out that Mie wears shorts under her skirt rather than panties. And then Komura and Mie sees another couple confessing that got them to think about their relationships, and their reaction is pretty amusing. |
| Was waiting for him to lick that popsicle stick. |
| Episode 9 Mie continues to find new ways to keep her bad eye-sight going. First, she breaks yet another pair. And then on the class field trip to the museum, she takes the wrong pair by accident and wears a pair that's a prop rather than her actual pair by accident. And Komura becomes concerned about his relationship with Mie, but the problem is more on Mie's side of things. Just when it looked like Mie was about to kiss Komura, she realized she's not ready. There were some troubling developments there, but in the end their relationship is still going and Mie just needs to be a little bit more confident. |
| Just kiss already. |
runec said: Just kiss already. Agreed. I like the show, but it's getting tedious. |
 |
| Cute, but getting very tired of the dense male MC. What does he want; a confession from her before his light turns on? I am a worrier. I worry over the weirdest things, but even I can take a hint without putting Mie-san through so much hassle. He should have asked her is she wanted to go to the arcade with him. |
| |
| Episode 10 And Mie has yet another excuse for not wearing her glasses as tgey are too fogged up. She injues herself because she couldn’t see the ball she tripped over. Then there’s the culture festival coming up and another opportunity comes to kiss when the two are alone in an empty classroom while setting up the festival. But of course they didn’t kiss again. |
| Aggressive Mie is an improvement but the Just Kiss Already factor has gone up three fold. |

Say what?
Say what?
| @HOOfan_1 Heheh yeah loved the focus on hair and pony tail Mie-san (some day every day you can put my hair up...alright even I'll admit that's too big of a hint to miss) but even cutting that little bit was too much. My heart sank when she said get the scissors :( thank goodneas he minimized the damage and she promised to take better care of it. And bless whoever it was who encouraged her to grow it out :) |
| Episode 11 The thought of Mie with pierced ears is just too much for anybody to handle, especially Komura. So the culture festival is on and it’s more good times to be had. |
| At first, this show was cute; now it's getting tedious. They start getting close, then Komura-can't panic attacks. With all the panic attacks, it's amazing his family didn't get him Prozac. Thank goodness, it's drawing to an end. I really don't want to hate the show. |
| |
| Sort of impressed the show has the balls to make her gaze lovingly into his eyes all the time and call him daddy but still can't get a kiss out of it. |
| Episode 12 It's onto planning for the future, and Komura is quite unsure about his future prospects. He puts down husband on a whim, which isn't exactly a career. And then Mie is quite slow in cooking class even with her glasses on. Even so, they still came out well. And then Mie takes a selfie with Komura in the playground. She tries to do a flip on the bar, and it's a good time to be reminded that she wears shorts underneath her skirt. The relationship just keeps on building, and this time Mie is in meganeko mode after spending most of the series without them on. One more episode left to go. |
| Komura was really putting deposits into his spank bank in this episode |
| These two better make out next episode. |
| One more to go. Komura-kaant needs to drop a pair. Mie-san is almost throwing herself at him, and he's dense as ever. |
| |
| Episode 13 (Finale) To end this show, both Komura and Mie put on glasses, and then she meets a familiar face from elementary school in Ise who Mie doesn't recognize because she's not wearing her glasses. And the next day, she's two-eyed again as she forgot where she put them. With entrance exams coming, it's important for her to wear her glasses, which doesn't exactly bode well for Komura with the way he sees it as he thinks Mie will forget Komura the more she wears her glasses. But that's something to worry about for another day. Not much of an ending as to be expected here given the direction the show has been going, but it goes to show that Komura will need to do more than just be there when she's not wearing her glasses as the relationship seems to be less intimate when she does. Final Thoughts This show is entertaining as there are plenty of funny moments there and the lead characters make an interesting couple, but at the same time it just gets repetitive as most of the time it's all about finding an excuse for Mie not to wear glasses, all while the romantic relationship doesn't go anywhere. While GoHands has a pretty bad reputation, at the very least this is one of their better efforts and this season they are starting to turn things around with this show and The Masterful Cat is Depressed Again Today both being miles better than the train wrecks they have put out in the past. So to sum things up, this show has fun characters, solid humor, an interesting art style, and a solid foundation as the manga this show is adapted from is pretty good, while on the flipside it suffers from repetitiveness, inconsistent animation (in particular the first episode's animation is too gimmicky while it's less so in the rest of the show), and the lack of buildup with the relationship that should have at least gone further than it actually does. Grade: C+ (7/10) |
| Well, I thought this show was really cute. I liked both GoHands shows this season despite the weird overproduced first episodes. I like this as much or possibly more than Teasing Master Takagi. 8/10 |
| Cute, mostly harmless. 7/10 |
| |
| Yeah I agree with everybody, if you can get past the disorienting first episode this a solid show. I actually went ahead and caught up with the manga and I will say… I really hope this gets a second season. It’ll cover the best part of the manga. On a final note, I really hope Mie’s angry looking face didn’t awaken something in me… 😂 Fun fact: The show’s production was apparently way ahead of schedule that the show was fully animated by the time it aired. GoHands must’ve known of the negative reception Handshaker got because of how visually nauseating it was so I have to wonder why did they put out that Handshaker levels of visual for the first episode of this shiw? Thankfully the rest of the show was normal but I feel like this show would’ve had more engagement if it weren’t for the first episode. |

| I'm a cultured degenerate. |
| It was consistently cute if nothing else but I'm going to dock a point for the kiss baiting. 6/10 |

Cute show but did they just hint that Mie might be doing this on purpose to see how boys will treat her and did they also hint Komura and Mie have been interacting with each other for a longer time that just this school year. LIke since they were very little.
LouieGrandie said: did they also hint Komura and Mie have been interacting with each other for a longer time that just this school year. LIke since they were very little. Honestly, the show was fine without having to dip into the old "they met as kids so they're destined" trope. |

@runec so if they implie that they have known each other since pre-school you would think that after all this time he would be more relaxed around her and not go into panic attack in almost every scene. Which is why I want her to end up with the other guy in class.
LouieGrandie said: Which is why I want her to end up with the other guy in class. The other guy in class has the personality of a plank of wood and seems to exist only to make the main character insecure. This show really doesn't have much of a supporting cast. Which just leaves us with his insecurities and anxiety no matter how strong the signals he's getting. |

| @LouieGrandie Based on my understanding, Komura remembers Mie as that same girl with bad eyesight who told him "You're nice. You like dad." and "I hope my future groom is someone as kind as you." when they were kids. It was never really implied that they knew each other either before or after that, especially considering Komura doesn't know that boy who was apparently bullying Mie for attention during elementary. But it does make sense that Komura would be trying to find ways to aid Mie in any way possible as he got told by that same girl in his childhood that maybe she should marry someone kind like him. So the way I see it, Komura was having panic attacks because he only knew her from that brief childhood moment they had, but unbeknownst to Mie who at the time wasn't wearing her glasses. I'm guessing they just ended up being classmates for some reason (Fate, Destiny, and all them romance stuff xD). There were implications at some point that she at least remembered the silhouette of the boy she was talking to as she got excited to see Komura's childhood photo but couldn't properly see it at school as she wasn't wearing her glasses at the time, but then made Komura wait at the park, rushing home to get her glasses in hopes to see the photo-- which Komura, unfortunately, left at school. She was also quite surprised to know that Komura has black natural hair. TL;DR: 1) Komura remembers the childhood moment, Mie doesn't. 2) They only became classmates during high school. 3) Komura's panic attacks are the result of him already having a crush on Mie instantly because he remembers her from that day. But since Mie doesn't recognize him, he's just a stranger to her during the early episodes. |
