Just rubbing the salt into his wounds every chance they get, I see.

I guess those magazines Naru handed out likely belonged to Kanzaki Kousuke? Good thing he's asleep, or he'll flip out again because of his "precious" collection.

"My friend, Handa!"
"My friend, Kawafuji!"
"My friend forever!!!"

lol

Great episode as always. Those Handa books and embarrassing quotes with Hina consoling Handa wordlessly was priceless XD

How could a character with so little lines be so adorable & funny all the damn time?

The paper planes were beautiful. Naru is truly the troll shining light that Handa needs in his life... distributing Handa's books throughout the village XD

I'm excited to see how much he'd grow by the end of this anime. Fujoshi girl at the end was hilarious even though she only appeared for a short time.

Ending was hilarious! Love how Naru can always find a way to somehow cheer up Sensei.

I thought Naru was going to tell her Grandma there's a suspicious guy but nooo XD

*Naru sees Kawafuji with tattoo*
*Goes in store. Goes back out*
*Is now sporting a flower and dog pen-tattoo*
"Welcome!" in a bigger voice.

Absolutely brilliant.

During the Handa-Kawafuji reunion, I was thinking "where is Tama?!"

*sees the end sequence*
*dies laughing*
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness."

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

So it turns out that Tama does speak the local dialect... but only when she's extra excited.


I think I've already read about it, but why doesn't she usually speak it?
I haven't read the manga, so I don't know if it's explained there. My first guess was that she's deliberately avoiding the dialect to fit her self-applied "literature girl" image, but then we saw that her gamer brother also talks like that (and the few lines we've heard their mother say also seem to be in Standard Japanese). So either their family isn't originally from there, or they just choose not to speak the dialect most of the time. Hiro and his parents also seem to switch between Standard and dialect depending on whom they're talking to.

Naru looks so cute selling those seashells.
Kousuke really does admire Handa owning all magazines related to him. Thanks to Naru, he got well known in the village. Hearing his embarrassing quotes out loud is hilarious!

but sensei totally has an AT field like from eva! crazy
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

Being Sensei is suffering. Although Naru always knows how to cheer him up. The "Sensei, you're flying" was absolutely adorable. You can see Sensei becoming more and more attached to Naru and I can only hope the doesn't go back to Tokyo at the end of the show (damn you Kosuke for trying to take Sensei away).

Man i loved the message in this show. It's so deep. Each episode seems to tell a message about life. That sometimes in life, we need to stop what we are doing and smell the roses. My opinions definitely coincide with this reviewer's feelings.

Four Hawt guys during the Monster Ball incident... Testing the limits of closet Fujoushi everywhere :D

Another great lighthearted episode. I totally loved how Handa was hiding from his previous interview quotes like he was a recovering Chuunibyouu or something. Totally worth the reactions. Then at the end when EVERYONE finds out, he just wants to leave the place after trying so hard to stay.

While Tama is always worth a laugh I feel more and more like Miwa is the best girl as this show goes along. If Hiro or Handa doesn`t make a play for her before the end of this, they`re missing out on something good (even if they have to wait a few years...).
Please don't feed the trolls!

That scene after the ED was the best. Damn you Tama and your perversion! xD

Naru is always there when sensei need to be cheered up and brought back to his sense.

Ahhh, that kid really was hiding his real self. What a sneaky bastard x)
