| Satou really can't get a break. Thought it was a cult at first. Satou really is pretty dense for falling into the scheme when he knew it was one. |
| I swear he keeps on getting dumber and dumber |
 |
| Subliminally telling you its a Pyramid scheme (or its variant, Multi-Level Marketing scam) with the triforce imagery and Class rep in the human pyramid. I thought Satou wouldn't have bought it. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Again? Satou please. He was even smart enough to know it was a trick and yet he still fell for it after a little sweet talk. I mean I get that this is how his character is supposed to be, but man, he should really be learning from his many many mistakes. It's not even working as a comedy anymore as the same joke is starting to get a bit stale. |
| ugh hopefully this will give him a reason to find a real job |

| Yeah he was real dumb this episode |
| CONSPIRACY! PLOTTED BY NONE OTHER THAN NIHON HIKIKOMORI KYOKAI. Give me a break, Satou. You get sucked into everything, you're almost as gullible as me. D:< |
 |
| the show started very good , then it went downhill Though i'm not gonna lie watching him make me feel good , i mean let's face it , seeing someone in deep shit feels FUCKING GOOD |
| "This is my father's crime against me, which I myself committed against none" Al-ma'arri |
| So he realised it was a scheme and STILL bought it? |
 |
| ARGH! I was so proud of Satou when he didn't immediately bite at the pyramid scheme. Then the class rep had to go rope him in and now he's got no income AND DEBT!!! I loved how the posters in the meeting room showed members forming an actual pyramid. Not too subtle symbolism there!!! |

| *Claps* *Claps harder* *Clapping intensifies* My reaction to Sato this episode. The one clearly looked more cool during his high school days lol |
 |
| Satou totally saw through this at first. What the hell happened? How was Kobayashi able to convince him anyway? I saw it, but I still don't get it. |
| Wtf Satou, you were tricked. |
 |
| How big of an idiot can you get Satou? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| This nigguh keeps digging a bigger hole for his grave =______=' |
| oh god, and i was actually praising him for not falling into the trap of the MLMs(been there myself and didn't get into em lol)...at least not falling into them initially...how dumb can you be to know about that shit and still get sucked in??? wtf xD 5/5 again great realistic episode |
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) |
| Low rate of 5/5s this episode... I personally loved it! It even got me clapping... I GOT SUCKED IN. Great story about Sato getting screwed over and used. Clearly this isn't the solution to his being a Hiki-NEET. |
| Lol he actually fall for it... at least it's not a cult, but marketing. Also Misaki waiting for him to come back home hnghhh... too bad, he's becoming worse. |
 |
| Sato has a bad habit of skipping out when the two people who regularly talk to him need him. "I tried asking your family, but for some reason, they wouldn't give me a clear answer." Because Sato himself hasn't given them a clear answer... The chick that Sato went to school with is able to recognize that Misaki is improving his condition, but Sato is in such denial. He needs to accept her. :| And then she seriously dragged him to a goddamn marketing scheme? This reminds me of those women on Facebook who sell their snake oil and wraps to anyone who will listen. "God I wish I were back on that island." Also, "This is one sucker you're not gonna suck!" Sato had plenty of great lines this episode. In the end, it looks like Sato did get sucked...not in the fun way. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| "I wish I was back on that island." Holy shit. LMAO I def think of Satou as more vulnerable than stupid. He's not the smartest by far but... given his situation? He's so desperate and paranoid he can't help himself. Having all these people come out of the woodwork to "help" him has to have some repercussions for someone who is severely socially anxious. |

| Wow, Sato is borderline retarded. I was happy when he realized it was a very obvious pyramid scheme, but then he lets this woman who even admits to tricking him and is a cynical piece of shit convince him still? How dumb do you have to be to know something is a pyramid scheme and still fall for it? Besides, he's a social outcast with no charisma, how the heck does he think he's going to sell all that crap? This episode makes me angry. :P I hope this "arc" is resolved soon and we'll get something less idiotic. |
| Gotta admit, totally did not expect this series to go for MLM theme, that's definitely a first time for me lol. I was already so glad he declined something for ONCE, but nope, here we go again... ;_; |
  |
| It was my first time seeing multilevel marketing being portrayed in an anime, which is interesting to see. I almost voted that this episode was just okay but I really really like Misaki's actions in this episode. She waited for him on the staircase, she made him food, and she waited in his apartment for him to come back. Really makes me feel bad for her, especially since she's been doing all she can to get him back out after that whole MMORPG fiasco. But whatever she did didn't do anything, so she waited. Seeing her alone, down, waiting in his apartment was really sad... TL;DR I really love Misaki in this episode. She was definitely the highlight of this episode and the reason why I voted 4/5! |
 |
| thought it would be a cult but it's a MLM scheme friend tried to rope me into one, i noped the fuck out immediately also she cleaned his whole damned apartment and waited for him. there better be some development with her soon, i'm tired of seeing her sacrifice all for some dipshit schizophrenic |

| Now that's how you introduce a seemingly friendly character and then later revealing the fact that the character is a malicious, manipulative asshole. Kobayashi has been manipulated before herself and her transformation can clearly be seen even on her physical appearance. From that of a cute, ordinary girl to a woman who's looking for attention, not saying that her fashion is bad, but that's that. Sato is clearly smart enough to know better than trusting a pyramid scheme, but his mental delusions and stress coupled with Kobayashi's master manipulation got him sucked into this fuck-fest. Can't blame him completely here. Still tho... WHAT THE FUCK MAN!?!!?!?!? |
  |
| Satou-kun... you idiot! How he could fall into this obvious financial pyramid?! o_O Despite his all negative character traits, I thought he was smarter than being a naive guy so easy to be manipulate, lol. Good that it was not a cult. I thought it might've been one after I heard what Satou's high school friend said at first about that guy who inspired her. |
| Lmao the posters shows that this is literally a pyramid scheme ahah |
 |
| Oh man - Sato cannot catch a break. While it's still a charming show, I think we've now fallen into a loop of 'Sato-gets-himself-into-a-jam' of the week type episodes, always relying on Misaki and Yamazaki to bail him out: suicide pact; MMORPG gold mining and now MLMs. Few more episodes to go. I don't know how I feel about the show teasing but never showing there is a conspiracy, and it's all in his mind blah blah blah. On the one hand it is the more mature thing to do given this slice of life anime. On the other hand it would be an entertaining twist to know that forces were out to confine Sato to his life as a hikkimori. |
| I get that it's supposed to be funny, but it's so fucking dumb that he literally recognizes and says it's a pyramid scheme and 30 seconds later he gets convinced to join it |
| That's kinda cringe but I laughed |
| boooooooring. get this show over with pls. |
| What an idiot. He is a mix of Shinji Ikari and Homer Simpson. |
| I hate everyone equally |
| Satou is painfully stupid. |
| Lol he knew about the scam from the beginning and still fell for it, he really does trust people too easily haha |
 |
| why are these "filler" RPG and MLM episodes more entertaining than the entire first half of the show |
 |
| The emotional exploit hack by the class rep Kobayashi was hilarious. This was a LOL episode. |
 |
| This show really took a shift huh? Hoping we get back to what made the first half of the show so damn interesting soon. |
| This was such a idiocity atmosphere type of episode, how did Satou managed to mess this up for himself |
