Oh man... my school life flashbacks... MAKE THEM STOP!!

I really want to hug Tomoko for all the crap she gets! I usually don't feel sorry for a character in an emotional way, but dang it, Tomoko just kills me with her situations! Why? Because I know how it feels to be the unpopular one! The one who spent the majority of his school life with no friends to hang out with or act normal like them! And to have your one and only friend getting married ages before you!

This anime sure opens old scars in a painful way!

The ending was so great. I really love that J-Rap!
The episode was great as well. They did a great adaptation of the manga part.

Honestly she would be more popular if she just showed her eccentricities. She needs to realize shes the must interest one in class and own it no matter what other think.

You underestimate what a (social) phobia can do to you,

I'm know there are people who are that bad out there, because I've seen them in therapy sessions I took for my social anxiety. One guy was so social inept, he was crying all the time. He was scared to death about talking to people, and he was shaking in his chair all the time. He probably had it the worst from all the people in the group. Quite sad, really.

When I look at what Tomoko is going through, there isn't a doubt in my mind that she is about as real as you can get. And yes, I'm sure there are people who actually throw up if they try to go outside their comfort zone. And even the fantasizing and thinking about sex all day doesn't seem too exaggerated. If she's really that deep entangled into her own phobia, she obviously needs something to cope with (or rather, escape from) reality, and this seems to work fine for her.

I mean, who can possibly think something like telling an old friend that she was "sleeping with a guy" without doubting how that sounds.


I think the gist is that she knows exactly how that sounds. And I thought it was obvious that she wants Yuu-chan to think just that, as she believed it would make it look like she's actually doing something with her life and wanted to impress her.


Hmph! I bet the reason why he said that is because he obviously didn't experience it himself and that he could never understand what it feels of being a "hikikomori" and what they have been through.

P.S. I also have someone like that in my class, his name is Anthony and he tends to either sit far away or goes into a different classroom with a different member of staff on a daily basis. This happens so that he can be away from other people (well other classmates) otherwise he would freak out, breathing heavily if he was next to someone or went up to him.

Love this girl.

I thought she wants a boyfriend only because of the popularity and acceptance thing, but Tomoko is genuinely romantic. The best part however was that she was more perceptive and understanding about Yuu's hidden agenda than the remodeled friend to hers. I hate such kind of people :L

The ending was tad cruel (the drawing of the filler character) - for a moment I hoped that the guy actually saw something in Tomoko (I don't believe she is hard to please anyway), but ... maybe delusions can also work sometimes.

Surprise you could notice that.

Is that a nice manga?, I felt like reading that .

Anyway, I actually notice that pillow. It look like the avatar of the author of Nyaruko-san

My god this anime is SO DEPRESSING yet funny HAHAHA

I don't know how is it to be like her at all, but i know a bit of being delusional and it really hurts oneself when an ilusion(or delusion?) breaks apart. Because you know, sometimes what keeps you going on are those delusions and without that all that`s left is depression.

Depressing ?
Nah . I dont find the pitiful situation of her sad at all . The irony makes that she seeks attention but female attention seekers are the definition of bitches and she hates bitches .....oh the irony and hyprocrisy it's quite hilarious .
And to quote one of my favorite songs refering to her situation ...

I'm really liking this show. The voice acting of her is also very nice in giving her that character.

Ikano said:
I feel such puty for her....10 times more than the 1st ep....

Is anything good actually ever going to happen to her? ;o;


Well she's still happy about that portrait. If she doesn't know the truth about it she can be in blissful ignorance.

bachou said:
this anime is just... too harsh on her.....i doubt she will get any real friend

yuu chan called her out cuz she had a fight with her boyfriend meaning moko aint worth shjt if yuu chan makes up with her BF

sad ... the girl's life is just too sad


Still she at least had a person call her. You see people posting(especially in anime forums) not even having that. Imagine being one of them and watching the show. That moment when you realize that a representation of the most pathetic introvert still has more social life than you.-_-

I thought she was actually going to break through, being invited by an old friend of hers. I'm so sad that Tomoke was just being used QQ now I don't like that other girl at all.
I'm curious to know what that guy drew of her.
I also like this anime because I can relate to it, though not on the extent of her lonely level. She has it pretty bad.

It's from Fate Stay Night (the visual novel to be precise, they changed it into some weird shit in the anime). The main character has sex with his servant to refill her mana (life force energy) because she was disappearing.

If she wasn't stupid, she wouldn't be such a shut out


There's a limit to stupidity. I would hardly believe that a real person would think or act like tomoko does not matter how much of a recluse you are and this is coming from someone who used to be a shut in (You could say that I'm still one depending of how you view it)

I mean, who can possibly think something like telling an old friend that she was "sleeping with a guy" without doubting how that sounds.

There's people with crippling social anxiety much, much worse than Tomoko; this all seems pitifully exaggerated, but the sad part about these kinds of people, is that it really isn't.

its anime did you really expect it to be super realistic.

This episode was on par with ep 1 in my book. The band Yandere boys was a funny name. The end was also great when she realized her friend had a boyfriend.

You guys are right there's actually people out there with heavy social problems, I do know some too I just wasn't considering them.
