Dem Satou fantasies. Yamazaki as a girl was disturbing.

Misaki seems like a stalker...

Misaki is confirmed stalker.



I hated the fact that his senpai is doing it with another dude. She's somehow one of my fave characters in the show.

Also, Misaki is too suspicious.

It's time for some speculation with potential spoilers!



I would have been fine with Yamazaki portraying Sato's girlfriend, but I guess it's not happening.

so Sato's mom's gonna come visiting and he has to play a full scene to fool her so that he can stay in tokyo to continue his neet lifestyle

misaki will help and act like his girlfriend(and i hope they're gonna be more that that in the future :p) and senpai seems like she got out of a really hot shower there, lol

5/5, great stuff here

Sato's dream at the beginning was interesting. He fantasizes intimately about a 'normal' life, but that fantasy is destroyed by the fear of criticism, which he boils down to a conspiracy to try to rationalize.

"It's Mom." Oh shit he does have parents.

"I just found out that my mother is coming to Tokyo in a few days."
"Okay...but how is that serious?"

Bitch the fuck he's a hikikomori that is very serious. Missionary girl isn't the best at psychology despite her project. Probably why Sato would rather have Yamazaki as his fake girlfriend than her.

"Oh yeeeaaah oh yeeeaaah Y.S. Company"
"No!"

Sato is best singer 10/10

I didn't think the missionary girl had any feelings for Sato, but the way that she pushes herself onto Sato as his "fake girlfriend" seemed like she did. I still don't get how exactly she knows so much about him.

"Your homework is to memorize my family tree by tomorrow." Like his mom's really gonna ask about her family tree/history of everything leading up to how his "girlfriend" was born. I swear she's just messing with him.

I started rewatching this for the third time a while ago, so I figured I would pick it back up.

I always feel for Satou no matter where I am in my life. Just knowing how bad the depression, anxiety, and paranoia can get to you is so suffocating that you become so irrational it's hard to control @@;

You know... Yamazaki in drag... is kinda doable. Okay, I admit it: I have like no standards. That said, this episode was once again funny, hitting home hard, and just all-around entertaining. The insert song wasn't that great, but I liked that they did that. Sato was really dense in this episode, which honestly just makes him even more relatable. But the reason the girl knows all of his data and phone number is because he forgot his CV at here work place once... or am I too stupid? Did Sato forget that? Or doesn'T he realize he forgot the CV there?

I am probably just missing something obvious. As I've said, I'm kinda dense myself. :P

Poor Misaki xD She kept saying she would do it but got ignored.
Overall, a really funny episode... especially the Yamazaki interactions xD

Also raised a lot of questions on who Misaki is.

Aw, shit mama-Sato is coming over!

Sato is really quick to make actions when he knows he would be going back to his hometown if his mom knows what's up. New company AND a 'pretend' date with Misaki, nice, got these all wrapped up before mom came.

Now, this is another annoying side I felt about Misaki. Her complete and total knowledge surrounding Sato's identity and personality while she herself remains mysterious. Quite the stalker type huh you annoying cutie!

Was senpai with her boyfriend or is she working as a prostitute?!

Is Satou's senpai (Hitomi) working as a prostitute or was it her rich boyfriend taking a shower? :( I hope it was the latter.

Yamazaki's female version concept was funny. xD

Satou's date with Misaki was cool, but surely this girl is mysterious. I'm wondering who is she exactly.

I like how Satous first reaction was to ask his best friend for help and ignore the girl

Poor Misato, though she is mysterious.

Senpais place seems to be pretts big. What does she do for work? And how does Satou pay anything at all

Senpai tries to heal chronical depression with drugs and ... other pleasures I guess

Misaki is a huge liar , seems like she also has enough mental and real life problems to hide.

I tried to give this show a chance but it lacked any sort of pull to keep me going. It's not like it was bad per say but it's felt pretty average up until this point. The ratings make me feel like I'm wrong so I'm perplexed about it and wonder if I've yet to reach an episode that will pull a Stein's Gate type switch up and go into a psychological deep dive into hikikomorism, but even if that were the case, I have not been motivated by these 7 episodes to continue.

Misaki's acting up. I have a feeling that she may do something bad to Sato later on or maybe she just wouldn't actually help him out.

It's pretty clear that Hitomi's dating someone she's covering it up by calling it a friend's appointment so that Sato wouldn't feel bad about it.

The sequence with Yamazaki hugging his Pururin dakimakura was perfect lol

my man



even after all that misaki askin him out he still goes back to crossdressing yamazaki.

misaki is either a tyler durden to satou's narrator or a hardcore yandere. i hope it is the latter.


also satou's senpai is hawt. in that dress in someone's apartment where u can hear showering in the back.


hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Sato lives in a landfill wtf

"I don't want to do anything. I don't even want to live. But dying is a pain in the ass too. I wish I could just disappear". I resonated heavily with that, holy shit.

Oof, he just completely lied to his mom. She sounded so happy. That's so sad. Misaki is a little sus. Is she just his imagination? I wish Sato would try to reach out to his senpai more and try to date her :(
This never updates so that's cool
