Lol girls just swarming at Handa like usual. No, now that I think about it, it's pretty much almost every girl.

The song performance is so priceless! I bet Miyoko practiced that in front of a mirror. Good to also see some of Handa's past a bit more The show is a prequel so always glad to learn more about the guy.

Calligrapher on the street? Handa-kun's fans don't believe it's Handa-kun. It's fake after all! He's ugly version and Handa-kun wannabe After realizing that real one is popular, he revealed himself and girls are gone. Handa-kun's correction touched him.

Rumor of Handa-kun with "his girlfriend"? Girl fans became hate him. lol @ that girl who got the eraser in last ep. singing about her pain. lol @ misunderstanding again. Handa-kun's apology was for the table, but the girl who tried to commit suicide thought was for her. It turns out the rumored lady is Handa-kun's mother (well, I already thought around that line: being one of his family member).

After the meeting, Handa-kun tries to get intimate with classmates, but cannot. More misunderstandings.

ED adding fake Handa and girl became dark.

Two stories next. (Eh~ losing his memory?!)

Episode 4, the x=12 is still on the board.

Ah so that was the person selling calligraphy on the street. Fake!Handa-kun could probably be the exact replica once his braces are out ahaha

Next was the eraser girl. All that tragedy over an eraser- that's what you get for putting pencil lead in your other eraser. Remember that.

Handa's mom is pretty.

OMFG first closeup Fake Handa gets and he gets punched in the face xD. That chick was literally about to kill herself to make Handa realize he shouldn't ever fall in love with someone lmfao. His mom is as beautiful as in Barakamon! Hilarious how Handa just straight up sucks at having conversations with other people.

I really liked this episode, so I can't decide what my favorite part was! Poor Handa though! Just trying to have a small conversation with his classmates feels like a big hurdle for him. Even though he is really just a sweetheart that calls his desk Mr.Desk and wants to hand an award to those that help him. Also Kondou stay strong~

So Handa's doppelganger learns it's not all it's cracked up to be. Heh, the song was pretty cute. Handa's mom was just as beautiful as she was in Barakamon, although I didn't like her voice as much...was she recast too? Sigh...Barakamon. :(

Am I the only one who thinks that the brown haired boy with the ahoge at least resembles Kokonatsu from Dagashi Kashi? Like every time he appears in this episode I can't help but think back to that series.

On a side note I wonder if either of the fake Handas will appear again, disguised or not.

As kondou think, the group are hardcore handa otaku, and the fake one join it.

Like in barakamon, handa mom is the real beauty.

all the girls jealous, but I think it will interesting if there is a girl who does not care about Handa and join the misunderstanding.

I absolutely love the pacing of this show. It knows what it wants to do and does it well, almost like Tanaka-kun did. This episode was a pretty nice culmination of the character development of the previous three episodes.

Brilliant humor once again. That song was an amazing part of the episode, that scene bumped up my score for the whole anime up to 7 for now. Normally I get frustrated when too much humor is caused by misunderstanding, but this show owns that style of humor so well that I love it.

btw, this has been bothering me for a while, but in the ED of each episode, the characters' animations don't really loop that well besides Handa himself. Like, especially the pink-haired girl. Her skirt isn't animated in a way that's supposed to loop, so every time the animation restarts the skirt jumps back to its original position. It kinda sucks, because I really like the ED otherwise but I'm so distracted by that that I have to unfocus my eyes so I don't notice it.

Hilarious episode xD

I laughed when the doppelganger started crying after seeing Handa's words XD
The Eraser song and the misunderstood apology were really funny.

Handa's mom is as pretty as ever :3

Lol, Handa is worse than me when it comes to small talk. XD

That punch by Akane land towards fake Handa, there's no doubt it's just his instinct. LOL

Japan's a pretty nice place, don't you think?

That shit was too real. The awkwardness I feel when I'm with another person with whom I feel like engaging in a conversation to lighten up the mood. And then think of the most random subject to talk about which ends with three or four exchange of sentences and I start feeling better about myself for engaging in a conversation.

Handa's mom's hot but sounds like an old woman, though.

Yeah, what was up with Handa's mom's voice in this anime... Didn't like it all too much

So...did that girl turn into a yandere or something? Well, she's getting there with how much jealousy she's building up lol

Gotta feel bad for Handa haha

I love little details like that.

It'll probably become a school sanctuary after Handa will have graduated.

Hhhhhhmmmmm. Fine, I'll stick around a bit longer, didn't care for that first bit all that much, but the portion with the suicide note and stuff was pretty dang great, and I enjoyed it quite a lot, mostly because of that girl who sits next to Handa. Even after that portion ended, seeing her all crazy for that split second was pretty dang funny too me. Here's to hoping next episode will be good.

damn this bitch is crazy "remember the days when you used to be cute" had to look up her VA since her random singing caught me off guard.


at this rate i won't even be surprised if there's a hidden cult following Handa it's getting to that point lol.
