Parent days sucks. I've been there and it's NOT fun tbh.

I'm also curious if Junior is that assassin's real name. That is a strange name for a girl imo. Kinda of a weak ending to this episode also and I wonder when Anita will learn the truth about that girl "Junior".

Cute episode. Nice that Anita finally gave a book a chance. I'm still confused of Maggie's gender, seems like a guy but definitely had women's breasts in episode 5.
Such junk...

The figure in the flame. Long hair, Coat. Oh. Is Yomiko burning books ?

It was an interesting episode despite being vastly about Anita's school life.

That was heart warming. I love how shy Maggie is, she's nervous around people but really likes them at the same time. So glad this show is still on this track, much better than last episode.

Gotta say, it's seriously amazing how well they express the characters through animation and dialogue. Great example is the whole scene where Nenene had just woken up midday and commanded Maggie to carry her. Another being when Hisami had walked in and Maggie noticed after walking out of the bathroom reading, only to stutter and run to the other room, in which we could here Michelle squealing at the thought that Anita brought a friend over. I love how expressive and feel good this show is. The cast feels absurdly human well being so eccentric.

Anita finally read a book, and it was Nenene's book! She was quite surprised.

"Junior" is posing as a student at that school, but while Anita recognizes Junior from the underground book shop, she doesn't know that Junior was the assassin that was trying to kill her before.

"Do it now or I'll smooch you." Bruh, Mags, just take the smooch.

This assassin's name is Junior? What kind of fake name is that? If it turns out to be his real name and not alias that'll be the most insane thing I ever heard. Also, why is he always trying to stab people?

As much as I am enjoying the series as a whole, I sure do wish Yomiko was more involved. Hopefully she'll at least begin appearing after we get into the second half of the series. I mean, she is listed as the first character on the details page on MAL. You'd think with that spot she'd be in every episode. Unless she is and we just don't know it, and there is going to be some super crazy twist?

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

So near the end when Anita stars reading Sensei's book there is a cut to Sensei working on her new book where she stops and wipes her nose. Was this a subtle example of the old trope in anime where you sneeze when someone is talking about you? Because Anita had just read like the title by "Nenene". It's the little things like that which bring this show up to a 10. The characters are still proving to be some of the most well defined and unique people I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
