| It is pretty painful to see a smart guy turn hikikomori and fall for MLM when they noticed it before. Omg they are idiots xD Wow that ending... that was shocking, sad, and weird O.o |

| It may be easy to see Megumi as the villain, the bitch who's trying to trick the protagonist. But really she's just another victim of the scheme, along with other problems that may be even more taxing than her financial ones. Judging by the portrayal of her highschool self, this just seems like a case of a honest, hard working person with good intention who made a wrong decision early in life which proceeded to spiral out of control. |

| It's 'bout time Sato saw himself in someone else. |
| double tricked. man RMT definitely doesnt seem like the way to go |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| So even Misaki fell for it.. alrgiht the second time was BAKAAAAA. XD All the characters in this series have their share of story.. feel sorry for them. |
| It went with one baka to three baka's. Shame on you Misaki, I though you wouldn't fall for that scheme xD |
 |
| I like this series but since MMO arc it's going downhill. 2/5 for this ep. I hope this arc ends soon |
| Between the adult world and the world of kids, there, Holyland exists. |
| lmao this show is epic loving this arc glad to see the three of them getting a long or at least getting screwed over together XD dam I kind of feel bad for the class rep she def has a way with her words though XD |
 |
B25Mitch said: They get dumber each episode. I at least thought that Misaki wouldn't fall for it. |
| That scene made me laughed very hard. Can't believe they fell for the scam with the intention to go against the scam. A true hikikomori in the end. Looks like NHK is heading in the correct direction, as far as I see it. |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| Is every character in this series a pathetic loser? |

| Glad that the scamming part seems to be over |
| It's the American dream. No, the Japanese dream. Fug those dreams. My dream is dabes. |
 |
| Finally watching this series again after a long break ... I barely even remember what happened before XD Ah, the classic pyramid scheme ... pretty funny when they got tricked into buying more products ;P So the President's older brother is also a shut-in ... Torotoro eh? To be honest I don't really remember that arc, but it seems to be from when they were all into that MMORPG. So she's just doing it to support them both? "In too deep" now eh ... Hopefully they can get themselves out of this situation. We'll see what happens now ... |
| How can you be this dumb... it's actually getting irritating. Same with the overdone nerdy characters, made to be disgusting in every aspect. Aside from that, good show so far, I'd be lying if I said that I can't relate. |
| While I know this was done for comedy purposes and to lead the plot to the other hikikomori I'm still quite pissed at how they did. I mean, how naive can people be, especially when they are in a group against one and came prepared. tsk... Well, I guess this is going to be good now. |
 |
| Lol these 3 dumbasses. |
| they manage to make all these fucked up situations so gaddamn funny xDDD |
| Great episode. I think the story execution was told in a way that we were supposed to know they were being tricked the 2nd time presenting us the idea that not only NEETs but sociable people can fall victims to multilevel marketing schemes. Damn, that ending a well; Sato coming face-to-face with a NEET on an even lower level than himself, that must've hit him pretty hard. |
 |
| Watched the Eng dub of this one and it has a lot more sexual jokes and cursing than the jap version lol good job dubbers xD |
| ~ The world is not beautiful, therefore it is. |
| Why, now Misaki is also a retard -_- |
| Idiots. All of them. Dat ending was weird. |
 |
| A few of the people I was watching this anime with own some of the "The Manga Guide to..." series books, hilarious shoutout. Is Misaki's secret being that she is a mild neet or was that peer pressure? |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |

| Now all of the main characters have been sacrificed for the sake of comedy! At least it led into something a little more interesting. |

| Oh no! Not the multi-level marketing, I've known a bunch of crazy people like those, they really have no such thing as dignity, saying all kinds of crazy shit that only retards would believe. |
| although this episode didnt portray it the best way, manipulative ppl have a certain aura and way with words to trick even the smartest person but u gotta realize that 1 is an otaku, 1 is a hikki, and misaki is a young impressionable girl, ya she is smart but why? because she does her research. young ppl can easily be swayed. |
| It was unbelievable how the trick works twice. Sato stupidity knows no limits. Good Episode |
| Wtf with Misaki this episode, she is supposed to be the smart and clever one but she fall for a lowly scam like that |
| I can't believe Misaki fell for that trick. Man, that lying bitch of a woman is pissing me off.... |
 |
| Are all of these characters fucking braindead or what? They go to stop the pyramid scheme but completely forget that and get sucked in. Fucking hell. Fucking bunch of retards, the lot of them. And that Kobayashi bitch is even worse. |
| Lmao, it's almost funny how dumb they are, getting tricked into more merchandise. Wonder if they're going to like team up after seeing how much the class rep had in her house. |
 |
| Great episode! It really is representative of people who will do anything in the name of get-rich-quick schemes. It's like an addiction. They get in over their heads, end up in massive debt and keep looking for that magic way out. It's a shame really! |
 |
on 
| the plot keeps getting dumber |
| Considering that he's a NEET and a hikikomori he has made really good friends. |
 |
| Couldn't feel more sad for class rep :( Just shows she's just the another victim of the "conspiracy" too |
 |
| This time even Misaki had to hold the idiot ball. The Kobayashi household is pretty depressing. |
| Lol, they got tricked again, but in the end they discovered her brother, and he is a hikikomori too. |
 |
| They're under a trio of morons these guys, getting tricked at that level. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Pyramid schemes are the worst .___. so glad I got my family to get out of selling that Kyani shit Megumi's "pet" is in worse condition than Satou lol..... at least he ain't fat and ugly tho :X |
| this is such a thriller, lol I wonder what's the link up now with the class rep's bro I love how they all got fooled into buying more stuff omg haha 5/5 |
Sayonara,papa! "Just how a mirror reflects you,people will also reflect your heart." ~Athena Glory,Aria "Whatever happens,happens" ~Spike Spiegel's thoughts on dying(Cowboy Bebop) |
| She actually managed to trick them again XD So Megumi's borhter is what Sato could have become if he didn't stop playing the game. He's... Really pathetic. This is really good to watch though, I hope there is some kind of good solution for Megumi and her brother. Though this is not the kind of anime that guarantees happiness... Except for the resolution of the suicide island arc. |
| lol damnit he got fooled twice. But yeah it's kind of your fault in the first place buying those excessive products and then you also have a useless brother. |
 |
| "Thank you! Tell your friends about books!" "I will!" Was that a weird dub adlib they kept in for shits and giggles? Tell your friends...about books? Maybe Sato should read some real literature though. "I get it! Suck me dry!" Misaki bursts the fuck in, "Can I help?". That was absolutely intentional. Instant food has no correlation to being depressed/a hikikomori. I eat a ton of vegetables every damn day and still am depressed and want to avoid people lol. All three of them got scammed! Damn, snake oil salesmen and women are tricky. I actually feel sorry for Megumi, so far deep in this pyramid scheme, with her "pet" actually being a nastier version of Sato/her brother that she's been forced to take care of. He literally saw a group of people behind him and broke down crying. Of course, if any of the shit she was actually selling worked, she'd be able to use it on her brother. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Lmao the such me dry comment with Misaki coming in the bathroom and that guy embarrassing her.... lord. |
