This date would've gone better if u know...they didn't get interrupted.

At this rate, Hobin is just a magnet for trouble and fighers looking to bring up pain. Felt bad for him honestly. He just wanted a normal date and he instead got into yet another fight.

The childhood friend Bomi called was none other than their classmate, Kim Moonsung. Feeling overwhelmed between two attractive individuals, Hobin flees the scene.

With Jihyeok's encouraging words, he manages to salvage the date with Asamiya, but just then, Hobin's worst enemy appears.

This was difficult to watch. Maybe because its my worst fear. Being humiliated in front of your girl, unable to protect her. Only for someone better to show up and take her away.
I hope hobin eviscerates that bully. Can't wait for the next ep.

Yes, finally there's some real effort to be a better fighter, but taking a school off for the whole month will surely affect his study.

I can't wait to see hobins epic comeback I mean getting humiliated in front of your girl is more then a fuel for the revenge and iam glad to see hobin taking action instead of giving up .
and something has been bothering me the other characters call him shimura so why his name has been changed to hobin?

All right, now we're getting somehwere. After all that lovey dovey business we got to see an actual fight where Hobin got pummelled only to be saved by Museong in tha last minute before permabanning Pakgo's channel (unless he was streaming on Meta which would be fine probably). I'm hyped to see what the results of his training and bottled up anger are in the next episode. Also, who's that mysterious stalker? Is she into Hobin or maybe want a pie of their subscriber money?

In any case, aside from the animation in some shots still looking a bit deformed, this is showing potential.

That was so painful to watch.. but it looks like the shows about to get good and more serious. It's gonna be real satisfying if Hobin beats Pakgo, getting Takemitchi vs Kiyomasa vibes

This show just knows how to push your buttons with good animation sound design, voice acting, and amazing music. I love how they did the reveal of Hobin coming back to get his revenge.

Also can we say the comedy in this series is just very unique and out there with how it handles the punchline?

God this show is such a fucking vibe.

@MadanielFL I mean it has been five episodes...and as you can see in the preview beating Pakgo isn't going to make him an instant badass. They're doing it right. The confidence you see is to standing up and taking down Pakgo not every person in Korea.

@Sokah One has an awful dad and is legit a 14 year old having to deal with Angels that want to destroy the world. The people who complain about him seem to forget that. While this guy here legit has no self confidence and they have made clear. People gotta realize overcoming shit like this isn't easy. Not every anmie OC is Goku or Yugi.

Hobin walking off like he did from Bomi was kinda painful to watch more than his ass get beat.

If I was Hobin I would have taken Pakgo's words against him make him regret asking for a strip show heh.

The OP slightly changes quite a bit in the visuals, it felt as refined being the final version.

Hobin and Bomi's date just has to be interrupted by the latter's childhood friend: Kim Munseong. It's definitely very awkward between classmates, but Hobin's fear is soon allayed, and felt like the 3rd wheel in the potential dating role. Of course, Snapper was waiting for the right moment, but "ingrown toenail" has become the coward's meme so much that he re-courses Hobin onto the right path to continue the date with Bomi. And Munseong having seen Hobin's YouTube channel, he's an avid fan of his content, which he anticipates more of it. But Snapper having been fought out of his element, it's Pakgo back with his revenge. With the techniques learnt from Samdak, it's Hobin's only way out of his complacency not to focus on fighting, and karma has now come to hit him back.

A public humiliation Hobin will face, and him ripping naked in front of Pakgo and his audience, though Munseong is the real MVP to not hesitate giving them a fight. This only leaves Hobin's morale at an all-time low, and Snapper paid the price in tandem of Hobin, being treated the exact same way he did. The anger against himself, thanks to Samdak, Hobin pushes himself again for an entire month, even if Pakgo's streams essentially are bait for him. And this is his comeback for his channel.

It's time to get that Viral Hit once again.

Well, that turned out better than expected. The preview last week was quite misleading.

The only negative point so far is how they can publicly livestream violent bullying on school grounds without any of the school staff getting involved.

There is no better title for this ep other than 'HUMILIATION'. Hobin just got absolutely humiliated in front of his cameraman, his love interest, and the viewers from Pakgo's channel. All in a public setting no less. And for him to be saved by another man, a stronger man as he shamefully kneeled with only his boxer intact, for many people in his predicament, they'd no longer wanted to do anything with school anymore and perhaps, even life itself had no meaning... Not for Hobin for he has the Chicken Man as his ray of hope!

HYPE HYPE HYPE
This is when it starts in earnest!!!

The whole appeal of HTF is seeing Hobin take on newer, stronger opponents as he continuously betters himself in the arts of streetfight. The popularity he got thus far has been of him as a victim or someone who won due to a fluke. it is time for him to reawaken and be born anew. After a month of training, my boy is graduating from a loser to a bully-beater! (don't even question how there're seemingly no teachers around or how he's able to be absent for a whole month)

That ingrown toenail line spun me🤣🤣. I am so happy I decided to start watching this anime.
Kim has my respect he understood as a man no words could comfort Hobin. He just needs to pick himself up.
Ngl though I would Kiss My-Self if another man had to save me in front of the woman I loved while being NAKED.
Then she had to slap his opps for him. That's nuts😅😅. I'm glad he acknowledges the fact he needs to level up.
I didn't expect this to turn into a self-improvement anime🔥🔥🔥🔥. Ngl W move from Pakgo he leaned into the negative exposure makes sense. DAMN, HE WENT THROUGH A TRAINING ARC NOW HE IS BACK BABY.
