| So Satou's mother found out, naturally. But after that, they actually went on a date, kind of, and almost kissed. This makes Shizue's question even more relevant, though. What does Misaki like about Satou? She obviously doesn't like him for the reasons she counted in the restaurant. So is it because she believes that she can unlock Satou's sweeter side, and so she's into that ideal version of Satou? Is it because they used to be friends in the past, and he just forgot, or is it something entirely else? There's also a chance she's not actually into Satou at all, and she just believes that she can fix him by being becoming his girlfriend for a while, which would be messed up. Also, Shizue and Misaki kind of look similar. And the scene at the very end makes thing even stranger. There's nothing wrong with playing with plushies, but that has to mean something. She has been able to see through Satou, and that kind of contrasts with her more naive side. It's also important that Misaki implies that either she doesn't have good (or even average) parents, or that her parents are not around. This might also be a factor in her motivations. |

| They couldn't fool his mother. Damn, that kiss got interrupted. |
 |
| His mama is soooooo sweet <3 Meh. I don't ship them yet. Satou knows nothing about Misaki. So. No ship >.> |
| yamazakiiii!! lol, so close , feel pain for both of them lol also, satou's mom is clever, she figured it out, but now she wants to actually make it a reality, she likes misaki this is shaping up really great, another 5/5! |

| Don't tell me they're turning this show into another romance bullshit. I was expecting it to be something cool, well I'll keep watching till end anyways, it's still cool somehow. |
 |
| Wooow, Sato belongs on an episode of Hoarders. Sato's attachment to his mom and guilt about deceiving her is scarily relatable. Fuck, I'm Sato. My mom would totally catch on if I tried to pull some fake girlfriend/job situation like this. Starting with this episode, I am fully onboard with the Sato/Misaki ship. Yamazaki was a total cockblock at the end. Dunno why Misaki barked at her stuffed dog, or why it turned me on. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| The "she's almost too good for you" from his mom was absolutely unnecessary. Also Misaki WHY would you throw a figure away, what is wrong with you ;0; |
 |
| I laughed at the cockblock via Purupurupururin! The rest of the episode was funny as always, even though this one wasn't my favorite I guess. I think I am correct with my suspicion, that it will turn out that Misaki needs emotional support, too. Or just as much as Sato does. I mean, it makes sense, because no person who's right in the head would reach out to a loser like that, at least not without expecting something in return. And we still don't know a whole lot about her. So while this anime is maybe somewhat predictable, it is still very charming, funny and has some good personal drama. I like it! |
| Man, I'm loving this fucking show. As someone with social anxiety (but god forbid, not to this extent), a lot of it resonates with me. |
  |
| Wonder what Misaki's deal is, I mean she's obviously not normal. No idea what it could be, but she definitely has some kind of problem with herself. |
  |
| ughh i really hope there isn't much focus on the romance part, as it honestly makes it much less "realistic" |
| I think it's too fast for them to start romantically liking eachother. Sato barely knows the first thing about her and hasn't even spent that much time with her. |
 |
| That was one of the greatest episodes of Television I've ever seen in my entire FUCKING life. Jesus Christ. That was the animation equivalent of "College" from The Sopranos, "Ozymandias" from Breaking Bad and the entire Season 4 of The Wire. The music, the animation, the plot, everything. Holy fucking shit. Regardless Cartoon or Anime thats a top 3 episode in the history of animated television. |
| I FUCKING CRINGED!!! Sorry, can't help feeling intense cringe from when Sato's mom saw the 'graphic' magazines up until she admitted to having realized that all of this was a play, a fake act. Ofc, being a mother, ofc she can easily see through this poorly acted lie. At least Sato and Misaki get to go out on a date again and almost kissed each other. IMO, it's best that they don't kiss. Knowing Sato, he would grow a feeling of regret of how he's not worthy to kiss someone like Misaki. Misaki on the other hand is... Still a mystery. But speaking of that, it seems that her family is not normal least to say... |
  |
| Really nice date! Even though Satou's mom successfully discovered the truth. It is her son after all. :) The kiss was so close, but it's Satou at fault that Yamazaki called him. Yamazaki lost whole day to he in touch near that phone, lol. That "cute bark" was cute. :) |
| This anime is amazing, fucking magic. His comedy isn't nearly his strongest point and yet it is making me laugh out loud almost every episode. Brillant storytelling, beautiful ost, amazing characters. miketoreno said: That was one of the greatest episodes of Television I've ever seen in my entire FUCKING life. Jesus Christ.

Yes man I feel you, I think I'm there with you, this anime started good and managed to keep getting better and better, this episode felt almost too damn good. |
| Misato was very sexy this episode, I'm also really liking how the romance is going.. hahaha |
 |
| Misaki really cutee and thank god its not yamazaki in a cross dressing |

walla said: I wonder if Misaki is also a hikikomori, or maybe a recovering/recovered one... The way she had to psych herself up before meeting his mom and going out to eat had me thinking Even I feel Misaki may be herself a hikikomori  |
|
| Very wholesome episode, the whole meeting with mom really was done very nicely, and the way she saw the lies so easily was great too |
| This ep hints that Misaki's got some family problems. Probably wouldn't be shown in the next ep itself. I hope that the next one won't be too tropey. Though Satou's mom didn't scold him in his childhood for breaking that glass thingy(idk what that is) she put a HUGE burden of guilt on him which is definitely a rather severe form of punishment. Same thing happened during the whole act put on by Satou and Misaki. Satou's feels burdened for lying about having a girlfriend and a job and his mom knows everything. This makes me question if she's really a good mom or not. Yamazaki's comedic timing is always on pointXD |
 |
| Poor misaki , its been several episode she : get either ignored or rejected now shes jealous to a figure she clean a men room she go outside wearing a bed dress she try to go to kiss place to make things happens yet it still doesnt work What can she do : WAN ! WAN ! WAN ! (So cute !!!) White pantsu 🤤 |
Loli world is just a cute world full of cute meat |
| that was... interesting |
| Misaki is horni. Why is my man so slow? |
| lots of cool romantic tease. a sight for sore eyes  everyone knew what followed.   yamazaki mvp |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| wahhhh misaki chan was going for the kiss its always the phone calls grrrrr |

| BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH |
| I knew something would interrupt the kiss! shameless! |
 |
| Misaki threw away his doll, not looking forward to his reaction. Misaki is such a sweet girl and it pisses me off that Sato takes advantage of that and does not even realize what she's doing for him. Why does Misaki feel the need to fix Sato? It seems like she had a rough childhood since she wishes she had a mom like Sato's. She lives with her relatives so I'm wondering if she feels the need to test her program on Sato and if it works maybe use it on her parents? The damn kiss was interrupted by a phone call he was so close!! This series is so fucking funny. I love it so damn much. |
 This never updates so that's cool |
