Things got pretty wild when he started using pain to get rid of his smile. It's good he didn't stick with that plan as a permanent solution though. This show could go really dark if it wanted to.

Wow, narcissism? That surprised me, as I initially thought Hiromi was dealing with some manner of involuntary muscle spasms or something related to some unconscious habit out of nervousness.

This episode is something else. It's gone beyond psychological analysis and treatment, and went straight into exploring Hiromi's mental state. It's horrific seeing him slowly break down while confronting the image he thinks people have of him, the image he has of himself, and his current reality of not having an actual defined image.

He really clipped his nipples. 😅

Pretty interesting to get a glimpse of narcissistic personality disorder (in an anime no less)! This was also before the terms narcissistic, narcissism were (mis)used more in every day language like it is nowadays.

Wouldn't be surprised if his manager has feelings for him. But Irabu-sensei was trying to get with her!~ I see you, I see you! Sly devil.~

I'm glad he's doing better now and he's a big variety star
