Hmm the class sure had quite the unique makeup. The presentations were amusing though but at the same time merciless. Those instructors were truly ones that came from hell. Those smiles though sure were awkward.

The first segment (well, it took almost the entire episode in the end) was actually really funny xD The discomfort between all them was sooo notorious haha.

But I think the best part was that I was expecting the cute girl to show a beautiful smile... honestly, that outcome really caught me off guard haha. No doubt, this was my favorite ep. so far.

Wow, what a really great ep! For me, this is the best so far. XD I kept on laughing out loud and it's just so relatable especially on how awkward it is during seminars!

Honda-san is truly a great guy. He must be protected! +_+

Oh and all aboard the Honda x Pretty Lady ship!!!!

It's not comedy/parody anime, without Jojo references xD

That Buddha alternate mask is sure convenient
Ouiouiouioui -> ambulance siren? xD

Natural smile > fake smile
You don't have to force smile when you can't, that's not healthy
Ofc don't glare or show angry face to costumer too

B-But I want to see Itou Shizuka's smil- I mean Kitsune's smile

Hey, they actually left the one place their cameras were position at, I'm taking that as a direct flashback, I wonder if any of the other people who took the same course made it into the industry, probably could be one of the masked co-workers of Handa's.

The cruel reality. I remember one of these I had to take 3 years ago and it was exactly like THIS.

"Chosen Sacrifices" is a perfect way to sum it up.

I know someone who handles customer service so I can only imagine how awkward being forced to smile at the customer in training sessions like that was for them.

I certainly wouldn't want to be in a situation as uncomfortable as that.
