A blast from the past. That Mitsuo guy can be a pain to deal with, considering he's Minare's Ex.

At least Minare's work is reaching out to her fans. Decent satirical humor as usual for this show. I want more.

My baby Minare so fucking fine

When your ex texts you out the blue

Lmao, they always want to come back once you start doing well. Block and move on queen

Makie and Nakahara are gradually getting closer, gonna be fun to see how this potential love triangle works out, especially with the drama we’ll get next episode. Maybe Minare will start to confront her feelings for him.

Another really really good episode, fun, over the top and relatable as usual. Didn’t get to it last week because I started reading Yesterday wo utatte, but this weekend I’ll certainly get into the manga

There were a number of things that happened in todays episode. Some that were shocking, some were just laughable. I love how it tied into the first episode too.

Next week cannot come fast enough!

Oh shit oh shit oh shit... literally what Minares face looked like at the end. At least what I think. But as for the episode, it didn't even take 3 seconds before I laughed. Also Minares papa is great. That was brilliant. As for Nakahara, I don't like him nor the black haired chick.

"I'll go through a sex change and make her happy!" quote of the day". And baby Minare was too cute, lol.

Great episode again, especially liiked how this tied in with the first half of episode one and the reveal regarding what Minare's name stands for. Nice implementation of foreshadowing and subtext so far.

Everytime a philosophical subject (or not) is discussed and ridiculed, that is what makes Nami yo Kiitekure so funny.
As always each character has its own humor which is always so funny.
Minare's mother was really cute when she was young.

Minare’s convo with her dad about where her name came from was hilarious. i like how they came full circle from the first episode, nice touch

Makie’s wasn’t kidding when she pretty much described her brother as a psycopath in a previous episode.

If you are talking about that recollection about the man and the blondie talking about ainu jokes while sitting on a bench, I think, that was actually a memory of Kanetsu-san (Minare's boss at the radio station) that explained why he had been so interested in Minare from the start. Not just because of her voice, personality or resemblance to that girl from his past but because of her name too. That was my favourite part in this episode.

I wonder whether his father's story about the three mistesses's names was true. That one made me laugh.

Lots of content shuffling (while taking out content not going to be adapted) this episode, but trying to be blunt with it:

(Chap 23, beginning):
Minare sure has A LOT of ranting though HEH. And girl, going through sex change to make Mizuho happy? We're ready when you are! HAHA xD

(Chap 24-26, the conversation of Makie):
And Makie's brother showed up...the obscene terror shooketh her entire body. Nakahara tries to diffuse the situation, but Manager Takahara just gave them an unnoticable feeling at reading the situation. A lol bit of a psychopathic and protective level for her brother though, and Nakahara's housewife of a sister just totally did the job and saving their asses. WOW that was a wild ride.

(Chap 28-29, the real meat of this episode):
Finally, we understand the backstory being Minare's name. Very hilarious though how her dad came full circle about her given name from mistresses, but then in a flash, gave up about it and just went with the flow. What a way to choose names for newborns. And back into radio business, that brown bear business, unfinished from Episode 1, finally given a close.

The cliffhanger though...the ex-boyfriend Mitsuo makes his entrance...what's his deal with Minare???

This is kind of the wrong focus but... was so excited to see some Ainu language at the end!

For those who don't know, the Ainu people are a people native to Hokkaidou and I think in the past the northeastern parts of Honshuu (Japan's primary island). They're not related to the Japanese people and so they have their own languages/dialects called the Ainu languages. If you open https://db4.ninjal.ac.jp/ainutopic/dictionary/en/ (an online dictionary for one dialect of Ainu), you can find "mina" meaning laugh under "Emotion > Laugh". Just in case anybody's curious ^^

Gotta hand it to the mangaka though. I'm guessing they have some knowledge of Ainu or really looked into it.

I'm probably gushing for the wrong thing here but can't help it, I just love languages lol

Also, Minare's curious face when Komoto came in and there were slightly awkward glances between him and Mizuho lol

Now I'm not sure which one is the real reason for Minare's name haha

I ship Minare x Mizuho. It's bound to happen, no point in denying it.

Based on the preview, I guess her ex will try to get back with her.

Also, that woman's siscon brother is just too much.

That Ainu language at the end. The last time I heard some Ainu was in Golden Kamuy.

Minare's father is a man among men. To think that Minare's name had that kind of a backstory. At least the mysterious lady gave the name Minare a better definition.

Also...

As you liked that and I see you like historical stuff as well (well you watched, and liked, Vinland Saga at least). I would suggest you should watch Golden Kamuy as the very next post after yours points out:

so Minare's name actually came from the past lovers of her dad namely: "Michiru, Natsuko and Reiko" oh how ingenious and clever!

So Mato-san selected Minare not just because she's a diamond in a rough but partly because of her name.

"Mina re" to make laugh.

But, how her father came up with her name is hilarious!

We got to the bear moment from the first episode! And Minare's father is apparently, I say apparently because I don't know if he should be taken seriously, a cheater on top of being an alcoholic and well, I feel for her mother. That flashback scene with that Ainu language was kind of poignant and cool too. Everyone has different senses of humor, but I don't like black humour. I'm not sure about the part of embarrassing yourself to make others laugh either, but I guess it's better than ridiculing others for a cheap laugh. And Minare is becoming what this lady wanted to become, and she is really funny at times. Oh, and I like how Nakahara stood up for Makie. Her brother really is "kind of" crazy. It doesn't necessarily need to end in a romantic way, but I think it would be nice if Nakahara and Makie fell for each other. Way better than having her life decided by someone else. Brother or not he has no right to control her. And well, even if they remain just as friends, Nakahara was still the one who was there to give her a hand into becoming free and that's already a lot, really. Now Mitsuo is going to be back and I hope we can trust the episode title. Even if he truly changed, what I doubt, Minare can forgive him, but she would be a fool to accept him into her life again.

Definitely concerned about more potential domestic abuse with Makie, but this seemed to conclude rather well at least. The weird flashback scene is interesting. I'm thinking it probably is Matou in the past. Not sure who the girl is, but it further explains why he was so fixated on Minare.

I'll get a sex change and make her happy. The doujins write themselves.

the flashback scene made me think that the guy with white hair of the radio station is minare father. Lol I think I’m so wrong... but it can be minare boss too, and that’s why he’s so obsessive (in a good way) in minare. I’m just confused about who the woman with blond hair is... very good episode! I just don’t get it why exactly the white hair guy will have leave the radio

Damn, Makie's brother and his sister complex... not the best execution of dark humour if I'm honest so I'm kinda glad that sub-plot is finally over.

That aside, it was another funny episode overall. The banter between Minare and his father was particularly hilarious but man, naming your daughter after three mistresses? That's definitely a new level of scumbag-ness xD

I guess she was talking about people getting embarrassed in real life situations, like they (claim to) do in stand-up shows?

The pacing direction from these episode kinda felt mixed up so much and pretty hectic trying to solved the whole problem that appeared before, like Mato's previous life, and the reason why he chose Minare. Mr Kureko's-san last visited and its story. The real relations between Mizuho and Ryuusuke, the radio sound mixer. Makie and her creepy brother that shamefully came back from his wounded. Then the silly one, Minare herself phone conversation with her father.

The only one that really got solved nicely was the Makie problems. Finally her brother released her without any consequences. Was that right? Thanks to Chuuya's older sister! Not gonna mention the stupid conversation in the first one. Its about Minare and her father conversation about her name. That was indeed a ridiculous conversation like heck already. Child was never leave the parents attitude, thats what happened with Minare and her father relations. Lmao.

The problem there was the flashback of Mato-san. Its just funny how the flashback looks like the classic concept of a broadcaster from the past. Its suited well with the theme of the show. But, what happened exactly there? The explanations still got a postponed, together with everything that returned exactly on these episode. Unintentionally it just matched up with Minare's father on the previous episode. Was that explanations connected?

Before everything gonna get a proper plot of clearance, Minare's past boyfriend appeared out of nowhere to bring more drama. Atleast the plot point has now back to the normal fast forwarding style again. By knowing the fact that radio broadcasting scenes on the first episode had been released on these episode. The sceneries just be back to zero again to simply avoided any messed up with the plot setting. Lets see the next one!

The dad is an absolute legend for spitting all those lies on how Minare got her name but I really like the flashback scene at the end explaining it even though its kinda vague who is who there.
