That's a hell of a complication. In the manga, everything was simple and clear, but there were still questions. The story of Aiko's classmate was expanded and thus created questions. As a result, the killer's rating is downgraded, the order was executed by whom, Konoha wouldn't have left so many traces, and where was Satoko? Aiko's a mystery, too. Hopefully she'll be revealed later, I wouldn't be surprised if her mother works for the dark side.

That's fucked up man, to help pass out missing person fliers for someone you killed yourself. Like something out of a JCS video.

This show is a battle between moe and brutality. Morally, we should be opposed to what Konoha and Satoko (mostly Konoha) are doing, but they're so damn cute that we forgive them for it and hope that they start kissing or something.

Poor Satoko with the EoS of her game. I know the feeling. Can’t imagine how upset I’d be if I spent as much as her though. 😭

That ending. I don’t know what to make of it. With Konoha’s ranking down, she probably didn’t take the job. At least I hope not, because that’s psychopath behavior helping hand out flyers at the end of the episode.

Also, what a shit reason to have someone assassinated. My son is stupid so kill his competitor? Yikes!

I was drifting to sleep watching the antics of Satoko and her killer roomie. Then they hit me with Konoha's next job. "That's a hard choice for Kononha. I can't see her offing Aoi as just another job."
Aoi disappears in front of her house. "OK. They're faking us out, right?"
Sometime later Yoshida is handing out lost person flyers.
"You have got to be kidding me! Can't just jump from comfy Yuri subtext rom-com to Konoha is a stone-cold killer."

Ugh, ffs, man. I was loving how wholesome this episode was going only for the ending to f me up. Ah, goodness me. I can't do this, man.
I don't want Aoi to die. Aiko smiles a lot but deep down, she's a lonely and broken girl.
Please, Aoi should not be dead.

Damm what a painful episode. This show keeps getting darker while still maintaining its twisted comedy.
It's a pity that the show will still get lower score than it deserves. Because lots of viewers hate the cruelty, no matter how well it delivers.

Ngl I can see even more viewers would drop the show if SHAFT didn't add the original scene of Konoha's rank going down. To give people hope that she's still redemable.
An understandable move from SHAFT.

We're like 7 episodes in, Konaha is a cold (but not a completely emotionaless) Assassin. Its why she's prefers not getting close to anyone at school and keeps to herself.

Dont be naive and dont get to attached, right? Xd

@flyoffly why? doesn't it give people hope that she's not a complete psycho? do you want to watch a "comedy" anime about murdering your closest friends?
@libramartin If it's important for story, then yes...especially since I have no illusions about her. She's a professional killer. ...Moreover, I'm not sure that Konoha really has close feelings for Aiko... Aiko is at most a "friend for show" for Konoha...

@slvrcofe21 Yeah, she probably didn't take the job. Someone else did. Why would we see her rank dropping just after otherwise? Also, Satoko doesn't seem to react to the flyer's picture, which should mean a lot from her. I think Konoha's handling flyers shows that she's getting more "humane", as she wouldn't have even bothered before.

And given how competitive such exams may be, I wouldn't even surprised that some people could think of that. Taking action is another step though.

So, I guess Konoha's character development and realization that what she is doing is wrong finally gonna kick in.
Aoi's death flags were all over the episode. Especially her worn out shoes indicating that her family is not particularly rich and that she is studying so hard for their sake.
Hopefully Satoko will learn Restoration Jutsu fast and bring her back.

Satoko went into the SNS after she was notified that the gacha game was coming to an end.
This episode turns serious when that request came to Konoha.

Shaft and a fucked up CGDCT? Anime. Yes.

I hate HATE this so much what the hell is this feeling, its just so dark, first was Aiko's parents and now Aoi.. how she stays smiling after everything is insane, and what's even more insane is that Konoha is involved in all of this (Aoi's disappearance happened off screen makes me cope Konoha didn't do it herself). Wouldn't it be better if Aiko becomes the target next?

And I was actually having a good time at first coz Satoko and Konoha's relationship is starting to get better too... sigh

I know the show has dark humor but I do actually feel sick, it's crazy.

(how could I say im actually curious what Yuri posts on her secret account after this)

I hated this episode.
The blonde lesbian bitch doesn't know how to speak? He has to shout everything???

Konoha killed Yoshida's parents, when she remembered that (bitch fucking forgot) she showed a sad face for like a second, are we supposed to feel bad, or anything, for Konoha now? Like, "oooh she feels bad for what she did" or something like that? Fuck no, hell no, bitch is a heartless assassin, she ruins this shit.

The only good thing in this shit ass episode was seeing Satoko doing cosplay at first, but that lasted literal seconds, then they changed to show her taking revelating selfies of herself, that ruined everything, this show NEEDS ecchi because it knows it's so fucking ass without that no one would like it. The mangaka must suck ass lmao

Also, Satoko is trying to scape her clan and killers, yet Konoha tells her to make a damn social media account? She knows how dangerous that could be but she doesn't care, like always. Oh, but then, at the mid point she cares and tells Satoko that she should only do stuff she actually likes? Bitch ass took too long to say something

About that Aoi girl, who cares, like honestly, who the fuck cares? Lmao. Still, we know Konoha didn't kill her, because if she did Satoko would have reacted at seeing Aoi's photo on the pamphlets. But so what? "Oh, Konoha didn't kill her, she had a change of heart", fuck no, maybe she didn't kill her but she also didn't do shit to stop it, fuck her.
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~

So it seems Konoha killed Aoi in the manga, but the anime changed it so she didn't.
I don't think it's good to change the source material that drastically.

People who've liked this anime so far will stick with it, those who didn't have long gone.

After the last espisode this one feels super heavy, xD

At least we have Satoko losing herself on the pursuit of likes on social media to lighten the mood... the part about the gacha game was fun too.. probably just a generic game name, but I feel fitting the thing be called "Black Ninja FANTASY" with all Final Fantasy gacha mobile games ending lately (I miss you, Dissidia Opera Omnia)

Ps; I feel like I got some indirect spoilers here

@Ambeon Honestly I think Konoha needs to cut out the middleman. It's easy to be number one if you eliminate the competition and then she can pick and choose her assassinations and put an end to these petty kill orders.

Hopefully Aoi is hiding out in Konoha's apartment till they can find out who took out the contract on her. So good to see Konoha's character development from amoral psychopath to someone with actual feelings.. or so it seems. Hilarious episode as always 9/10

The episode should have explained how Satoko's chest size returned to normal when Marin couldn't change it back, and while most of the episode was funny, it took a rather tragic turn.

Satoko is such a gullible and naive girl. Even after being told by Yuriko not to share any private details, she did the opposite and even exposed Konoha's face on the internet. I guess we might see the consequences of her actions later. Not to mention, the girl started selling herself so cheap that she was about to post her bikini pictures just for likes and attention.

Yuriko, so you were naughty when you were using SNS to the point you had a secret account that you couldn't let Kuro find out about. I'm really curious what kind of content you used to post there.

I really feel bad for Aiko. First, her parents were assassinated and went missing. Now it's her childhood friend Aoi, and here she is, blaming herself, thinking she might be someone who brings misfortune to those close to her.

If I remember correctly, Konoha once took a job to assassinate Aiko's father, and at that time, she showed no sign of condolence or guilt, and neither did she this time. I just hope she isn't the one who did this job, and that Aoi's disappearance happened differently from Konoha's usual methods.

hope this right, because when Aoi back home she have groceries item and when disappear it just lay on the street. but still sad for Aoi and Aiko 🥲🥲

Are you having fun, author? Making this happy girl's life miserable, are you having fun doing it? Well are you, huh?



I genuinely hope Satoko eventually finds a way to revert the ninjutsu so at least Yoshida is reunited with people precious to her once again. No amount of CGDCT can redeem what you have done, Konoha. Fuck you.



I'll still watch the show though.

Geezus that ended on a dark note. What kind of loser kills a girl for being good at exams?
@pixelante Someone posted an example earlier, from India. Not too far from here, we had: "The Texas Cheerleader Murder Plot. Wanda Holloway was a Channelview, Texas, housewife who became infamous for allegedly plotting to harm the mother of her daughter's cheerleading rival.
Motive: The motive behind the plot was reportedly to eliminate the rival's mother, thereby increasing her own daughter's chances of making the cheerleading squad. Holloway ultimately pleaded "no contest" to the charges."

We don't see the leaves and she's still intact in the ED. There's still cope.

They turned a one-liner joke from episode 1 into emotional bomb shell. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if the final episode is a hit on Satoko.
@JustMonaka fr. I mean it's shaft we talking about, it might actually be that depressing. Plus even if satoko masters bringing people back from leaves.... they are still dead.

But who knows. They might actually go full feel good and bring everyone back. I might have to read the manga and see what they are cooking. Because I think it's ongoing and bringing everyone back feels like what you do for an end of series...

Maybe only aoiwill come back.

Idk.

I really don't know where I land on this series.

Its kinda phenomenal in all ways except the sufferporn. Which even on that, idk if i think it's tragic and kinda cutting against the comedy, or it's some dokuro nokotan hyper absurdist where the comedy is you get these personalized well drawn character that get 1 min of screentime. Which might be god tier humor.

I really gotta stew on this show.

I expected one of the girls to be the target when Konoha received job at Yoshida's place tbh. Still that last scene hit pretty hard. But I'll admit I have mixed feeling about Konoha not doing it - on one hand it's what I wanted and gives us hope, on the other it kinda goes against this dark and disturbing humor of her being cold assassin. At this rate it might turn into some character development that would be too serious (as weird as it sounds in this context) for this episodic story. IMHO.

I felt like I had a déjà vu when Satoko realized she wasted money on a gacha game, I've already experienced a similar situation in an anime not long ago. Well, this also proves that anime change like everything in this world and are not disconnected from it. Great episode, even the character of Konoha begins to melt a little.

You have no idea what a dark life Satou Aoi has, run down apartment, she is dirt poor just look at her shoes. single mom household, she is working multiple jobs to put food on the table.
Dad? Probably assassinated.
That's why she wants to go and be a doctor.
I wanna believe she is alive, cause I saw no leaves.
I wanna hug Yoshida Aiko and cry on her behalf.
To go through all that and still help others and put on a bright smile to light up the day is unreal.
This is very dark comedy.
