Shiso is just a gold digger imo, rip the that loan repayment.
Really love the atmosphere, calm and relaxing episode.

Of course Shirakawa isn't clean at all, that discussion between Dobu and Odakawa was sure mysterious.
That last part at the restaurant, I feel bad for him, 100 000 yens for that, and she'll probably dump him anyway.

----------------------------------------
The idol group Mystery Kiss may have made its debut earlier in the show, but we haven't got to see from their manager: the fox Yamamoto's POV. But if there's one thing: Mitsuya's helping the distraught Tanaka trace down Odokawa's taxi, and with Shiho trying to imitate Nikaido's ways of making it big in the idol business. That business is very lucrative, and for all 3 to shine as a group, might as well shine like a diamond, rather than a carbon gemstone. Of course, Odokawa doesn't care about the pleasantries of anything idol-related, and he's purely the same social commentary character. Using Odokawa's taxi as an advertisement publicity campaign, he may not be interested, but count it as helping someone out.

Doctor Goriki calling in Odokawa to check on him, and it's confirmed that his medicine are slowly being stolen out of his clinic (see Episode 1). Trying to pin the blame on Shirakawa is the only likely suspect in Odokawa's sight since her back-end deal with Dobu, and the questioning in his taxi pretty much affirms his suspicions about Dobu wanting to get back at Yano. Thankfully, Odokawa is getting better at trying to evade Dobu's threats, and with each passing step, the latter is getting more attention to be targeted.

Kakihana sure is having a good time with Shiho for a date, and both have a common theme in being poor chaps...just that Kakihana tries TOO hard to impress Shiho with whatever he can muster. The hardcore fan of Nikaido, Imai winning a million yen lottery aside, it's Twitter wannabe Kabusawa who steals the spotlight by proclaiming his capture of the criminal Dobu. THAT'S...A PRETTY BOLD CLAIM, given that it went viral easily.

AHHH that loan repayment...

The mystery is slowly racking up...


Was there any connection between Tanaka and Mystery Kiss girl shown later in the series???

Wow that guy hit the lottery with the numbers that Odokawa gave him, which were from the photo that Eiji took. The idol girl hid a phone in between the seats, I wonder why she did that.


She did it so Tanaka would be able to track Odokawa using GPS. But I do wonder how Tanaka knows the idol girl


Was it cleared later?

Kakihana needs a serious dose of reality. Hopefully Odakawa tells him about the fact that she's an idol and is only in it for his (non-existent) money.

Like I said in the previous episode, the plot keep getting better and better. Wow, it's disappointing and also was kind of expected that guy waa gonna take out a loan to impress this girl who isn't even into him. And that Nikaido fan boy actually won the lottery! I remember the episode where he bought the lottery ticket in the first place.

The puzzle are coming together slowly but sure.

That Pink Pen is getting focus shot again, must be important for sure.

Why Mitsuya helping Tanaka, are they related somehow, and the music in the end of Tanaka scene was something.

Oh shit so the missing girl must related to the Manager.

Shirakawa really stolen the medicine and have a connection with Dobu.

Damn Kakihana loan money with that interest rate, poor dude just trying to impress a girl.
Probably the same loan company that Shirakawa loan money from.

Wtf the random number that Odokawa comes out from the Photo that Kakihana capture on the locker room somehow made Imai won a billion yen.
Wow

Kabasawa a.k.a cringe hippo dude are insane.
This guy just asked to be killed.
Yeah threatening actual criminal just for fame, social media addiction is crazy.

Holy Shit every characters have their ulterior movites.

Everything is connected!!!
The pay off is great when you really remember the information from previous episodes.

Nice that superfan Imai won a billion yen thanks to Odokawa's magic locker numbers, hopefully he'll pay off the 1500 yen he still owes for that drive. Unexpected to see Shiho planting the phone in Odokawa's car as gps tracker for Tanaka, makes me wonder what their connection is. Also the date with Kakihana was terrible, he really should stop this bluff before loan sharks are coming for his head.

damn Monkey will get in a lot of debt and trouble just to impress the girl for sure

so the Nurse is the one stealing the medications for Dobu to sell since she has a huge debt on her most probably the debt about her college education

Odakawa should watch out since Tanaka is about to kill him

Everyone and their mother know each other so the questions I would have is if the protagonist just "happen" to get in the middle of this or there is a big reveal about his past.

The monkey brought that embarrassment by himself and is not like he's going to get scammed by the girl since he doesn't have money in the first place.

So they can have pets and they even eat fried chicken, okay.

Ooh, the dog manager seems to be working with Yano.

Also, Shirakawa san was the one stealing from the clinic?? Also, she's paying her debts to Dobu. I don't think Dobu sent her to Odokawa, I think she genuinely liked him.

Damn, that fanboy won 1 billion yen huh? And Taichi is making false claims about catching Dobu.

Kakihara has got himself in trouble. He should just come clean. Maybe the idol girl might see through his monetary situation since she also grew up poor and might sympathize with him I guess?

The opening has grown on me so much. This opening is such a vibe fr.

I love how this episode is tying up the pieces together for each character.
The stolen medicine in Goriki's clinic which is linked to Shirakawa as the suspect. Kabasawa making a twitter video post about wanting to capture Dobu.  Kakihana dating a mystery kiss idol member.  Yamamoto wanting mystery kiss to be successful.
These pieces in someway or other are linked to something much bigger.

The mystery of the "missing Nerima girl" is slowly unraveling up.

I think you can tell this show is aimed at an older audience just by the way it portrays a teenager as an annoying self-absorbed brat.

Kakihana obviously has never been in a fancy Western-style restaurent before. Calling out for another drink, holding up his glass to be refilled, and looking for a desk or register to pay on the way out are all habits that fit much lower-priced restaurents like Taeko's.

Taking out a loan to pretend to be rich for his internet girlfriend reminds me of Tanaka's foolishness in the previous episode.

Oof, Odokawa recoginized the girl because she's the one that messaged Kakihara. The date with Kakihara is going so poorly. She's busy on her phone, poor guy. I already said this but, I feel like she's getting close to old dudes so that they'll give her money. Didn't the fox ask about the taxi driver's name previously? Why didn't he notice that it was Odokawa? The hippo is so freaking stupid. He's getting involved with bad people. As for the guy cat, oh man. He now knows where Odokawa lives. But what's weird is that the tracking on his phone had a red signal? Could it have been something like find my friends? Maybe his sister is the girl that's missing? Bro really got a loan to impress the girl? And the interest rate is 18%?? That's so sad.

Very cool how all the characters separate lives are intersecting!

I feel sympathy for Kakihana. He's just a lonely middle-aged guy trying to find someone to love. Then again, it's also a shame to be so deluded about such a young woman actually liking him for any authentic reason, going as far as completely fabricating his life to appeal to her. I guess deep down he knows she'd never truly be interested in him.

Oh, and Kabasawa's vigilante crusade for Internet points... What could possibly go wrong? -_-
