Yuri and Kukumi's partnership in this episode/show is kinda wholesome. Who would've thought they get so involved into manga but that's their connection. Seems Kukumi is a fan of that Uron Mirage manga.

Yeah, Nico is still present but this episode felt more about those two.

Kukumi has a lot of personality tbh.

That awkward moment when the in universe anime OP is better than the actual show’s OP..

The way Yuri and Kurumi are my fave part of this story. I need a full length manga of their yuri adventures, genuinely. Is there an ongoing manga or completed one that has anything like this? Fan ends up being teacher of mangaka and they become friends/ have yuri vibes? Someone needs to write it if not. I love their dynamic so much and I’m so proud of Kurumi for doing such a good job at the event and selling out all her works!

I was a little concerned her new friend was gonna be a groomer, but nope turns out she’s just normal hs girl who talks like an old man lol. Great episode

I remember in one instance where voice actor look exactly the same as his character, which is a very rare case, so when there's Jump Festa event that make him cosplaying his own character it drives many fan crazy, especially when he show his abs muscle on stage to proof that he look exactly like his character.

Lmao they really did the same joke again. I thought they were gonna dedicate half the episode to that fake nonsense anime again but thankfully it was short this time. Still kept the OP and ED tho. Ig they worked a lot on those extra OP and ED so it'd be a waste not to reuse them. Understandable.

Limelight's talking method is... unique. Why does she hang out with old dudes again? Anyway, she's pretty cute for a one-off character.

Wow. Kuku and Sensei made their first doujinshi and it was going about as well as I was expecting. They went through so many issues but somehow were able to get over them. Mainly thanks to their witch friend Nico. They'd be doomed without her help. Also, losing your progress is not fun at all... It was fun seeing those two succeed at least. At this point they should just get their own spin-off series.

The next episode will be another comedy episode, huh. Looks like I was wrong about the last 2 episodes being a 2-parter story like the last 2 episodes of cour 1. Still looking forward to them.

The staff went through the effort to create an Uron Mirage OP, of course they would use it again instead of the Witch Watch OP. A fair trade xD

Old guy speech lmao. Hilarious, but definitely sus.

Nice that the episode was dedicated to Yuri's and Kukumi's relationship.

Teacher student otaku duo is freaking adorable😭..

The OP & ED was quite good so well worth to use as much as you can. Although bit sad they didn't show they girl the two gay mc are "fighting" for again.

Yuri sensei got jealous because her student made a friend lol. But they way that lime girl talk was definitely fishy.

Ah yes mangaka crunching time right before deadline haven't seen that for a while but as always truly inspiring from Kuku chan (for me to do same).

"Everything happens for a reason" came in so true. Becz Nico was there she was able to help them out and more orders came in handy. But white Morihito🤣🤣🤣
My guy is just dead inside. They even made him a salesman. And to top it his hair made as coffee😭😭

Can't believe my Peak Watch is coming to an end :(

Damn! The animation for the OP for THAT show blows away Witch Watch by a factor of 5 or so. And several shows now airing too! They put the ENTIRE budget in that! ROFLMAO.
Nico's magic being useful without any blowback was a nice touch!

It was nice to see some Uron Mirage again, I thought we were going to get another half episode of it until in turned into anime in the Witch Watch world. Making a doujin seems like a lot of fun, though obviously it has its own stress too, but it's nice to see Makuwa and Kuku creating something meaningful to the both of them and sharing it.

I like how Morihito ended up helping promoting it by cosplaying. I was wondering what Nico would mess up with her magic but I'm glad it wasn't the doujins itself, she was very useful.

Also that one Smash like appearance from Nico was amusing, I wasn't ready for that.

With the 5000IQ marketing move of promoting Moi to cosplaying salesman from wall oni, they might as well have accidentally added two extra zeroes to their order and their doujins might've still sold out lmao

Yuri and Kukumi having more or less a whole episode to themselves was a nice little change. Their love for Uron Mirage and seeing them make a doujin for that series is sweet to see, but it also showcases how tough it can be in making a doujin in the first place.

I'm also glad that Niko was mostly successful in helping out Kukumi during her time of need during the doujinshi event and helped her sell out all of the books she had on her. Niko's one mistake was to accidentally use Morihito's black hair for her magic for the books with missing text, turning his hair while in the process, but it was funny that he was then used as a cosplay for the Uron Mirage character to help sell the book faster. Simply put, Niko's mistake was a blessed mistake on hindsight! XD

Overall, this episode was pretty fun. It might've lacked the screentime for the regular cast, but Yuri and Kukumi do make for many amusing moments in this series.

Sort of a theme here.

Accidental cosplay for the win.

I am not very happy with the ratio of main plot to amusing slice of life vignettes in this show. Need more main plot.

Loved the episode. I’m really glad Kiku and Yuuri came together and overcame all the obstacles that were holding back their work. I’m even happier that they managed to sell all one thousand copies of their doujinshi, thanks to Yuuri’s ordering mistake, ordering ten boxes instead of just one, haha.

Still think the whole teacher student manga thingy is one of the only interesting aspects of this anime, the only other one I like is the cat girl and wolf.

She was right to worry about her meeting up with some random online person. Would have saved a lot of trouble if she just mentioned the whole call she done a bit earlier

Hey, you can’t fool me twice with different episode intros and openings. 🤣

Wow, through this episode I feel like I can see how a mangaka creates their work. They face so many challenges.
But when everything succeeds, there’s that addictive feeling that makes them want to do it all over again.

By the way, it’s rare that Nico’s spell didn’t cause trouble in this episode lol.

Unless there's an eventual payoff in the main characters' storyline, not really caring about these side characters. I thought I was watching the wrong anime when they opened with that other show, and actually had to gobweb hunting to make sure crunchyroll didn't upload the wrong showings this slot

It's weird how the lesson of not being so trusting of people you meet on the internet has persisted for practically 30 years now. Doug on ABC had an episode where it wasn't harmful exactly, but it was meant to reflect that you shouldn't overhype what you think someone in an online chat is like.

@dhuvidimes It kind of does that even in the manga, which makes it kind of one the least interesting ones to me along with Me and Roboco (which supposedly has a movie already out or it's going to come out, though I'm more interested in the Demon Slayer trilogy of films).

I've been behind enough on newer stuff that one in Jump actually got cancelled, Nice Prison. And there's a new series by a pretty much fresh artist, so there's that. Looks like a drama series with music, which music subgenre manga have been a somewhat recurring thing in Jump in the last few years. PPPPPP and Star of BEethoven.

If this series is going to continue having side stories then I don't mind it being both Kukumi and the teacher in this episode since I find their interactions both interesting and entertaining plus Nico and Morihito joined in towards the end. On that note Nico helping out Kukumi came in the clutch and her "screw up" this time helped out even more since Morihito's white hair made him look like one of the characters in the doujinshi that Kukumi drew.

I forgot that it was a doujin event, not something as specific as BL/yaoi. Though I think those are a thing, not on this scale. I remember a con that was yaoi centered in California, but I don't think it lasted, which happens with many cons tragically

Lol the fake anime is back, and now Yuri and Kukumi finally managed to make their doujin, fortunately Kukumi didn't meet a middle aged man but it was the father of her friend lol, and so many issues with the doujins that led Morihito cosplaying the main character without even doing it on purpose haha that was fun

yeahhh... the doujinshi duo/otaku student & teacher combo stories really should just get their own deal and stay off the main storyline's show. till Nico and Morihito showed up i was quite bored and disinterested. just give the two ladies some Original Net Animation episodes instead of eating up the main cast's screentime. Bibury studio really dropped the ball more than once by keeping the ladies' stories in the TV anime.

at least this one wasn't as stupid as the 'whatever Mirage' anime episode. where from Minute 1 i thought i was watching the entirely WRONG show for some reason... all because 'the supernatural kids' were sitting in front of their TV watching that 'somethingsomething Mirage' anime's episode.
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.

I'm so in love with his Uron Mirage op and ed. I would love to see this storyline pop up very often in this show. It's so good.
Kuku and Makuwa really put great effort into making their first doujinshi. Thanks to Nico and Morihito they had a successful sale.

At least it tells how that teacher can't write a good story. I hate that they insert this shitty shounen. It's like the author of this series want to make that and it went into the gutter so he just insert this as a manga that his character creates.

Okay, what they're making si doujinshi. Doesn't change the fact that the source material is shit though haha.

Kukumi and Yuuri make such a lovely duo—student and teacher working together to create a doujinshi of their favorite anime. Despite the problems and mistakes along the way, they succeeded in the end and will keep pursuing their passion. And I think, for the first time, Nico’s magic didn’t cause a disaster—well, except for Moi’s hair, at least.

What a cheap, garbage episode. To do the whole "it's another Anime" trick a 2nd time is super lame. It's not cute, not catchy, not particularly original, it's like they ran out of ideas for the main show and completely side tracked. If that weren't bad enough, the story is lame AF> this isn't worth watching. Almost never stop watching but even this was too much to continue. What are they thinking???? A completely unrelated anime inside of an anime inside an anime? Again, it just feels lame as fk.

A Uron Mirage episode today with Ureshino and Makuwa striving to create their first doujinshi. Everything that could go wrong went wrong, but luckily Ureshino had tagged Nico to help with the event and her magic was pretty useful, though it wouldn't be Witch Watch without some magic shenanigans occurring.
