----------------------------------------
Surprised no one's made a thread for this episode yet! +_+

This episode is basically an introduction to the next arc, which is about Maria and will probably be completely drawn out in the next episode or two. Since it's leading up to a very dramatic episode, it was kinda subtle with a lot of talking, but Kyoko is still <3.

I love Moko and Maria! The two of them and Kyoko are alike in many ways, each one carrying some sort of sadness or lacking some kind of love.

I thought the best scenes in this episode include the one where Kyoko went into mechanical mode to compliment the Love Me section so Moko wouldn't leave her by herself, lol, and the scenes with the Ren and Sho voodoo dolls at the beginning and end. XD Kyoko should really open a crafts store or something, I'll totally be her first customer. :3

I agree with Annisa. Ren and Sho voodoo dolls were perfect. I want one as well. I'm glad that Moko showed up too.

Interesting O_O wonder how her acting will be, if it's anything like what we saw in episodes 6 and 7 she's got it in the bag xD but seeing Maria's story was interesting too

I rather liked this episode...it was a bit predictable though. I actually felt sad that it ended so quickly, which rarely happens. Glad to see Moko back on the show. I really liked her.

Great episode, I thought it was a bit lacking in various ways until the last scene, which was a real climax builder for next episode. I'm pretty sure that Kyouko will be fantastic like on the tea ceremony scene.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Mogami-san's demons are too funny....

Although let me say that there are occasions when it will fail....And there will be times where Kyouko will feel afraid of someone too....

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

I agree those voodoo dolls are awesome. xD HAHA Moko has to join the Love Me section with Kyoko and Kyoko wouldn't let her go either. xD Also Moko's speech was l-o-l. :] Maria's imagination with Ren's proposal was awesome.
HEY!

Alright episode, but seemed to not lead anywhere and become fairly pointless. Well, not entirely pointless I suppose since Kanae joined the "Love Me" group.

I laughed at the 'Child Predator' part... even though I'm only one year older, haha.

4/5 seems like an appropriate mark for the episode. Surprisingly enough, the series is getting better. This episode has motivated me to raise my rating of the series from 5/10 to 6/10, and I believe that my mark of the series will get even higher. Before I thought that the series was extremely boring, but this episode has proven me wrong for the most part.

Am I the only one who thinks that Maria is absolutely adorable? She looks like a porcelain doll to me, with her lacy red dress, apron and neat curly orange hair. She's so kawaii!

Also, I wonder how the next episode is going to work out. Should be interesting.

Aww, Kyoko's so cute lol! I thought Maria's voice would be a bit different ... hmm ...
Looking forward to how this is in the anime! I quite liked this part in the manga so ... :D

Didn't think that chick would have to join LoveMe as well.

Maria's "you'll have to wait, I'm only 7, silly~" was great XD

Haha, no pressure Kyouko! She's just gonna have to have a crash course in acting...

Those dolls were so cute! Kyoko's really good at these kinds of stuff. I can't wait to see how she's gonna open Maria's heart.
LOL at Mouko's instant change of opinions when she heard about the training fees and everything

I don't think it's a good thing that, while watching this, I think to myself "why don't I just watch Glass Mask instead?"

Would've never expected that she would also be in the LoveMe section xD Great start of something really interesting! The second part more focusing on that little girl, she seems to take rather an interesting role in all of this!

another good episode, but it was a bit slow :P

so Kanae failed huh!! at least he's now the duo partner of Kyouko :)
she owned those trainees :)

the dolls are sooo detailed! lol Maria Ren wants to marry her :D

"But You'll have to wait, I'm only nine years old!, Your'e so Impatient"

so the story book that Maria hates is pretty much similar to what had happened to his family? i wonder what the president feel :(

i hope to see more amazing acting from both Kyouko and Kanae!

Mouko really has superb acting skills. One moment she's dead set against being a member of Love Me, the next she changes tone and is proud of being a part of it...all for free classes lmao. I think she'll be a nice compliment to Kyouko's quirkiness.

Kyoko now have another victim to torture her poor soul ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Poor them, having to wear that ugly pink jumpsuit.

It was obvious that this child would come back eventually.

I didn't really understood what the script was about, those sub I've read were horrible. From what I understood, the little girl mom died and she feel bitter toward her father reaction to it.

I think the child was the cause of the mothers death yet everyone still loves her; something similar probably happened to Maria but a lot of people blamed her instead.

Loved the opening
