| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Time flies man, can’t believe we’re already halfway through this season and show! I‘m guessing based on the conversation that the guy in the limo is Hime’s mother’s father. He mentioned the disappointment Goto would feel if Hime brought home a mangaka as a boyfriend. Doesn’t sound like they’re on good terms I think the funniest thing is that Goto sensei goes to all these lengths to prevent Hime from finding out that he’s a mangaka, but she’d be his biggest fan and would find it so cool if she knew the truth. Hime would’ve loved to go to the book signing with her dad and see all his fans who totally weren’t hired lol Anddd back to the timeskip.. they’ve been blue balling us with this for about 4 weeks now, I NEED to know what happens to her dad. It’s breaking my heart seeing these boxes and the old house. I need answers! It’s going to break my heart :((( Another really good episode! Can’t wait for next week |

| The best part was when the teacher came as the first fan, and I hate the editor. |
| Hime with a hat is just the cutest thing ever. Same with her little chef hat while cooking. I have to say, this episode not only entertained me by the humorous human reactions of our cast but also Hime just acting like how a kid should be. Kakushi and Hime continues to add in more character chemistry in this show that I find pretty entertaining especially with Kakushi's clever plans. But on the top of that, I find this School Rucksack episode bringing an unique charm to the show's environment. |
 |
| Ok so it's almost confirmed that Hime's parents are dead or something like that, the end of the episodes are always destroying the joyful and funny mood :( |
 |
Half of this episode makes me laugh, but at the end of this episode it makes me sad, watching this anime, makes my emotions mixed between sad and laughing, I love this anime. |
 |
| That ending was so sad.... |

| I liked this episode more than the rest so far, the ending was solid. But even so, saying its better than the rest doesn't mean I liked the episode on its own. Still pretty boring but the comedy didn't bash me over the head as much as before and the ending was good. |
| A school rucksack from Kakushi to Hime, what a delight, but this random stranger called Naoto Date keeps interfering in the dad's ways and sending them on Hime's way. The dazzling guy in the expensive car, what's his deal with Kakushi? And being corporate livestock/slaves, it's just hilarious seeing all of Kakushi's workers having their purpose in this do-or-die endless chain of getting MORE work and keeping each other busy (at least for Goto-sensei). And oh God, to miss quality time with Hime at Kidzania over work? Oh no no, that's a sin for a parent! Even a compromise a.k.a signing event won't do if Hime finds out an inch about it. Seriously, Tomaruin, you just keep ruining Goto-sensei like you'd heck care the events are a failure or success, either it goes both ways xD but hilariously bad for the father whose work does not get any recognition HAHA ...or at least he so thinks, because his mangaka work is beloved by a small fanbase a.k.a cult following and confidence BOOST! And what a close shave for Goto as Hime almost caught him out. Literally a jumpseater moment. Most importantly...the cliffhanger of the grownup Hime eventually knowing and scouraging through Kakushi's manga, that encloses a family? Now I'd really want to know what's going on between the Kakushi, Hime and their mother. Pretty good episode, full of fun and laughter, whilst the cliffhangers bringing in the buildup of the emotional drama as we go on. |

| That was extremely close. Goto-sensei almost got busted, but thanks to his manga artist cosplay. It pulled off. We're getting near ehh? |
 |
| Perfectly, each episode causes both joy and sadness at the same time, the moments with matured Hime turned out to be very emotional. Ichiko did well, quickly reacted and covered Kakushi from his failure. |
| An episode that fills the heart with all sorts of emotions. Well done to the anime for that. |
| I can definitely say that I missed this kind of anime in the past years and I wasn't even aware of it before this came. Everything just fits and it's so great to see a relationship between family (in this case the dad) and their daughter/son. I just love this, please give me more... It was such a nice line to read; "I'm given the privilege to raise her" which is so true, I would feel the same way. It is actually great to see Hime practicing various jobs in a fun but educative way, that's so smart! And Hime, the entrance fee would be more than what you gave your Dad, but believe me, your present is priceless. And let's talk about Kakushi doing the autograph and realizing they are actually his fans and see their smile when they receive it, this is just so wholesome!! That ending hurts... I'm here still hoping for a positive ending ;_; |

| Father and son sharing their love for tights xD Funny episode again with good ol deluded Goto. I guess for many managaka or creators in general, it must feel unreal that there are so many fans who got moved by your work. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I'm prepared to cry for whats to come. The ending was pretty sad, poor Hime |
  Once we realize it, everything will fall into place Our hearts calling to the future with all their might We'll move forward, holding each other's shaking hands |
| Even with the comedy in this episode it was a more serious episode then usual. I think it was pretty obvious even before he showed up that it was Hime's Grandparents (Turns out it was Grandfather) who was sending her backpacks. Looks like He was against his Daughter Marrying Kakushi. Pretty clear after that conversation they had. Also my guess is the painting and the Painter that was mentioned by kakushi was done by Kakushi's father in law. Frick man the end up this episode though T_T Side note: Sensei is a Hero in this anime. I like her more and more each week. Next week though we get to see the dog finally! |

| After the conversation of the man in the car with Kakushi, is certain that he's Hime's granfather, and he was against his daughter marrying him lol. The teacher really saved Kakushi's secret from being revealed. Talk about good timing. Loved how at the end the people that went to the autograph event ended being true fans of Kakushi's manga. Of course, the sad ending was obligatory. |
 |
| *sigh* ,, why did I start watching this? this is not healthy for my weak heart! |
| Sensei is a hero! I really hope this how is just trolling us with these endings... Ugh. Hopefully he's just hospitalized at worst. 18-year-old Hime doesn't deserve to lose so much so early in life |
 |
| Really funny episode this week. Happy to see Sensei getting love from his fans. The juggling between assistants to watch Hime was hilarious. It appears the relationship between Kakushi and his In-Laws are complicated to say the least. But man I am dying to know what happens during the present day. Is Kakushi really dead? I hoenstly hope not. Hime doesn't deserve that heartbreak. |
| i like how that kidz thing had all the cool, childhood-dream jobs like police officer, firefighter etc. and then just had fast food worker in the mix :P this ep was definitely a lot less over the top than the rest of them for sure. I'm curious who the old dude was, Hime's grandfather? Jk9 said: I don't know why but I really like this anime. Slice of life-type anime that is really simple outside but really meaningful inside. yea same, I was actually surprised how this was that type of show |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| It's so fun to watch it until you get to the end of each episode... I hate and love the end of each episode... it makes me totally saaaaad. |
 |
| 'I'm given the privilege to raise her'... Hell fucking no, this serie is going to shatter my heart into pieces. I'm writing the same each week. This bloody show in it's wholesomness starting to be darker and darker, these endings already crushing my heart. Fucking hell. |
 |
| Another lovely episode finally comes! Now this seems lead to the real death flag of gotou sensei, that was really sad for hime. |
| Watch aria the animation and it's sequel. |
| Ah man, that last line broke my heart into pieces 😭 Gotou's uncertainty about his manga popularity was so adorable! This was my favourite episode so far; it was full of laughs but also so sweet and heartwarming |
 |
| Such an amazing anime, the whole episode is wholesome asf but the end kills you I don't believe (or I don't want to believe) that sensei is dead, what I instead think is that he might've lost custody over her somehow because of her relatives on the mothers' side or something along those lines |
 |
| It seems like the next episode will be about Hime's mother. I'm looking forward to it. I'm in love with this anime. And once again, Kakushi pls don't die. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Here is my theory based on what happened to her dad based on this episode. I think that the dad is still alive. The reason why she is crying wishing for that kind of life at the end of the episode is because of her grandpa, who at some point took her away from her dad to raise her himself, which is why she seems so emotionless when she is older. They will reunite in the end, as seen in the ED. |

| yea something tragic did happen to papa goto hair tie girl and tanned sensei is still my favorites to watch. editor, not so much |
| The fact that Hime didn't recognize him (or pretended not to) is so depressing. |
 |
| This ep has continued to expand the understanding of Goto's story and I love it. The conversation with the man in the limo is highly likely his in-law, and I can't help but feel he is also referencing him when talking about the famous painter with the editor. This added a nice splash of drama to a usually comedic segment. And those damn ending scenes... That mundane life... Stop toying with me pls. |
| The man in the car is probably Hime's grandfather on her mother's side. The man mentioned Goto-sensei bearing a grudge against him, so maybe it's the man's fault Hime's mother is gone? At that moment when Hime saw her father in normal clothes and lying on the ground, it feels not that possible for her to have not recognized her own father. Is she hiding the fact that she knows? |

| Episode was wholesome and really enjoyable and then the final scene hits and I'm heartbroken to see Hime tear up. FMmatron said: Funny episode again with good ol deluded Goto. I guess for many managaka or creators in general, it must feel unreal that there are so many fans who got moved by your work. The heart. :( |
 |
| Yet another hilarious episode. It seems that the guy who kept sending her backpacks was her grandfather, her mother's father. And it seems he's not on good terms with Kakushi. It's because of how Kakushi works as a mangaka with a manga titled 'Balls of Fury'. Kakushi himself wouldn't want somebody like that for Hime. But I think he should see himself, if somebody like Kakushi who is so loving and caring for both his late wife and his child would become Hime's husband, even if he did draw something like 'Balls of Fury', wouldn't that be okay? What's the point of a 'prestigious' job if the guy's a jerk? Hime is as cute as always. And as always too, the end of the episode broke my heart. So her words basically confirmed that Kakushi has passed away. Those tears along with her monologue was a stab in my heart. "But that mundane life is all I've ever dreamed of." She no doubt misses her mother and father so much. What happened to Kakushi... I just remembered in the first or second episode when Kakushi's assistants watched as Hime opened the old house. It's great that Kakushi, although not the best boss, seems to have such loyal and caring assistants who is still watching over Kakushi's daughter even after he's gone. Can't believe it's already halfway. |
 |
| Ichiko saved his ass! She just went really high on my list! |
 |
| First time seeing Kidzania in an anime haha. LMAO'd when Hime didn't recognise her father in casual mangaka wear |
| I think the guy giving the bags is an important character that has a huge impact in the story |
 |
| Worst theme park ever, what's so fun about working ? That was a rather sad ending |
 |
| Thats actually a great idea to have a place to allow kids to experience worldly jobs.. would give them a good idea of how a normie life is and if its for them.. I wonder if this is real or patented, i'd invest in such a endeavor. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| It's not boring Hime, it's called slice of life. |
