Great episode that brings even more drama with it...

Himawari + 1

Is Pansy all right?

The rival finally enters. He looks just like joro with different color eyes.

I'm glad that Tsubaki doesn't have any ulterior motives and that it's Joro who had the problem this time. However, I don't think the show set that up last week at all, so I was kind of confused when we just jumped to Joro's inferiority complex without much foreshadowing (besides that one scene at the start of this episode). Still, the conflict itself worked despite that and despite dealing with the Pansy side of it a little too quickly and easily.

Also, the Himawari stuff kind of bothers me. Joro rightfully has a massive go at her for sacrificing her tennis practice and money to help him replace Pansy's book when he was working towards it himself and had it under control, but then mere moments later he apologises and the show basically disregards the entire conflict; what's the point of having the conflict if you're going to disregard/resolve it as quickly as you introduced it.

Also, and this is a question I could ask for Cosmos and ex-twintails (whatever her name is) too, but why does Himawari like Joro now? I know they're childhood friends at all, but the show seems to have completely forgotten about her feelings for Sun-chan and failed to really justify her feelings for Joro: with what we've been shown in these 9 episodes, the only way it makes sense for either Himawari or Cosmos to like Joro so strongly and so quickly after giving up on Sun-chan is if they liked Joro from the start and merely lied about liking Sun-chan to get even closer to Joro (but even that theory is littered with holes and issues).

And as for ex-twintails, I don't get her feelings at all, as all we saw was her berating Joro and then rightfully apologising after finding out the rumours weren't true. And then, she suddenly likes him too without explanation? What even is the point when she's barely a character at all so far?

Sad that the return of bench-kun was only for a moment this week, but hopefully the next episode expands on whatever's happening there (i.e. why is the first year who thinks Joro is a pervert asking him to help put Sun and Pansy together?).

I just love the episode....the emotions on here are all over. Between pansy and joro and himawari and joro...

That pansy and joro moment really made me think... is what Joro doing a bad thing? Well pansy just made him realized that he is only doing it so that he can have a face to show to everyone since all of his friends has some accomplishments in their life. Even of im in Joro's position and that thing also were said to me i might have the same reaction. Pansy is just a straight forward person that even if it can hurt you she will say it..

That himawari and joro moment is what i can say power of freindship...

And now Himawari loves Joro out of no where. Yeah okay no one and I mean NO ONE will beat Pansy. She outshined everyone again in this episode.


Look how happy our girl was when Joro said he would help her. <3

To repay for Pansy's book, Joro goes into part-time jobs to earn his money with help from Tsubaki. She's still angry about it though...

Fancy meeting classmates in school at his own workplace, that's the norm. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH for Pansy just yet...the reason why?

Joro, the wishful one, trying to accomplish what the others have on their belt, the one that needs it the most, pushes people away at his own selfish benevolence. When the lovable Pansy desires him to just be himself, he doesn't feel satisfied and pushes Pansy away, feeling inferior isn't what we're all wired for in life.

Joro may have met someone new, but I'd fear that he would be the rival of the equating trouble soon...

YET, when Himawari went ahead to meet Joro's needs, HE DID THE EXACT SAME THING to Pansy, NOW to her, being an asshole and a jerk to turn all things good to bad.

As much as he is a background character, all Joro needs is a WAKE-UP CALL to realize that as impartial as his thoughts, there're friends who would see him in dire straits, and provided him with help whenever he needs it, the loyal friends who pay each other back in equality with loving care. The tip is to accept it, and I'm glad he did.

Bench-kun makes a comeback, but with another problem...

Wait, next episode, recap.

What did Pansy mean when she says "you are saving face"?


They kind of wrote it in a complicated way but basically she's calling him out with how he's working to satisfy himself instead of 'out of kindness' and she won't fall for that and the only one he's fooling is himself.

That's why he got so angry.

Unfortunately the stalker will not trigger Panji's death as frollo triggered Esmeralda's death in the hunchback of notre Dame. It would be an exciting end.

I think I didn't really catch the meaning of the main character realisation :

He decided to do things his own way ? Okay, but isn't it the same that he did before ? Working ?

What's the difference between erasing the debt he had and wanting to buy it ( the book ) ?
He does the same acts anyway but I know his mindset isn't the same and I don't understand that difference. If someone can explain i'll be grateful because I really like the start of the series ^^

I'm not positive but I think it's a matter of "I feel obligated to do it" verses "I want to do it to make you happy."

When he told Pansy the latter one, she accepted his decision because that's what she wanted to hear.

At least, that's how I interpreted it.

This episode was kinda boring . The anime was pretty epic at first but then the harem started getting bigger and it's getting kinda cringy at this point. But Oh well Our Lord Bench Sama will make an appearance in the next episode!! I hope the plot gets better

I think I understood a bit, so instead of feeling obligated to help her ( which mean he just want to save his appearance ), he helps her because he doesn't want her to feel sad. Thanks ^^

This episode I decided to watch only for the plot, so guess what. I skipped the ops and the eds, I might drop because the decisions Joro makes are too bad for me! But rather than dropping, I decided to use the go forward 5 seconds button! Since I still want the plot.

So far, the beginning episodes were really good, but then each episode that goes by seems to be either good or really good but not has good as the beginning episodes.

But this episode and the previous one seems to decent or quite enjoyable at times. What made this less enjoyable is that this has now turned into a harem.

Tbh I don't like it anymore. It was interesting at first, then Pansy and Bench carried it after anime went full harem. But now it's turning into over-drama'd harem. And while I like harems, forced drama, teenager one at that, is something I hate with passion.
I'll probably finish it, but I'm seriously worried about that last arc

you will find it At the Minute 21:57
i did not know how to put a photo in this. sorry !


Oga is Sun-chan and that random girl at the end is a new character that will probably be introduced next episode. There is no motives as of yet that say that Pansy wished for someone to help her get together with Sun-chan though. Gotta wait till next week! :D

Good episode, I like the character development between Pansy and Joro. The one with Himawari is also good, she really seems to love Joro huh. Anyway, looks like Joro finally met that guy who somebody told me about in the previous forums, is this why Pansy is asking for help, I wonder.... Looks like the next episode is gonna be fun, because that bench has appeared again.

I like how she got him to read it to send hm that message, makes it rather illustrious and intimate, knowing her stance on his two sides, that through the message she could ask that. He really grew in these 9 episodes, especially this one. Most of us can relate with the whole background character thing, but tsubaki exposed that in ourselves we should always see a protagonist.

Dude seriously I WISH this dude would grow some BALLS. For one, if some dumb BIATCH was ramming into me every time she sees me so hard that she KNOCKED all my shit onto the ground and damaged something that was REALLY important to someone else and now I have to get a damn job to replace it, I don't care how close her birthday is I would verbally BASH her brains in, that shit is unacceptable any time but after she ruins the book and makes him alter his life JUST to pay for it and make someone he is friends with bummed out, then its even worse. Not to mention now she's out of a book AND he won't be visiting her in the library anymore so she gets double F'd. But even stupider WHY does he LIE about the book not being important? She ruined it, it has nothing to do with her so lying about it's importance is meaningless, it was like a lie just for the writer to make him lie. Ugh that is so annoying on both sides.

We can see Joro experiencing his inferiority complex despite being the main character of the show and them being meta, however they have resolved it in the end too.

Himawari finally in action! Looks like our main trio of ladies are ready for the JoroBowl, this is about to get interesting as it goes. Let me also say that I love Himawari's bubbly kindness and joyous attitude all around. Joro's right having a friend like her in your circle is a great way for positivity!
