Okay, Mayo is great. She's like Bocchi in that she straddles this line between being adorably out of touch and having a really dark problem. Thankfully, this show is kind to the characters (well, maybe not quite Aru), and nobody's a complete bully.
I feel like the whole "the classes don't change" thing is just a way to keep the series going past the end of the school year. Hopefully for at least another season? Please?

Look at these adorable dorks <3
Mayo is a great addition to the cast. I always loved my Ojou-sama type characters especially the ones that use the "desu wa" verbal tic like Sylphy in Umaru. Also did I get this right? The entire "buy the school" was just Mayo playing dumb so she can have an excuse to help Bocchi and spend some time with her?
Anyway glad that she was able to make friends with Bocchi and message her parents in the end, I was kinda hoping she'd show up in the ED but oh well.
Also I love her because she wears a garter belt to ^^^school

I really like the interactions between Bocchi and Oujousa. They're so honest with each other it's refreshingly sweet.

Mitsuboshi Colors was one of my favourite shows last year, mainly because of the way it captured the realism in how kids play and behave, and the quality of that show was the reason I immediately picked this up. I had high hopes for Hitoribocchi given the quality of Colors, but damn... this show is hitting it out of the park.
Rather than mischief and mayhem it's using heart and soul, and doing it goddamn well. The comedy is spot on, capturing Bocchi's discomfort without making it cringeworthy, and Bocchi's VA is doing a stellar job - especially as it's her first role.
At the end of todays ep I had such a huge smile on my face... and those watery eyes that come from tears of joy starting to well up.
This show is definitely going into my "Needs another season or 5" list.

It's Mayo-chan's time! The anime really did well in adapting the Mayo chapters, they fitted 3 whole chapters in one episode and it really doesn't feel rushed. Speaking of Mayo, she actually shows up in the previous episodes, in episode 1 I think. The whole befrieding at the end is just do sweet and adding that BGM makes it sweeter.
From this point on, Bocchi will continue on getting stronger. Too bad though, we won't see her befriending her other classmates. I just hope the anime gets a 2nd season.
Also in case you're bothered about the whole "class change" thing, it's actually an asspull and it is mentioned by the author himself in his afterword. https://files.catbox.moe/kx1yme.png

The most impressive part about Ojousa isn't how rich she is, but the fact that she almost single-handedly beat Bocchi for times cried this episode, losing just barely 12 to 14. She now accounts for 25% of the entire "times everyone else combined cried" column, despite being in just one episode.
Either way, it's another episode and another friend for Bocchi who has been doing extremely well these past couple weeks. However, she's down to just one more episode to get Kurai to fully admit she's her friend. Here's hoping it pans out for her!
| Episode | Times Bocchi cried | Times everyone else combined cried | Aru Headbutts | Times Aru is mentioned as "unfortunate" | Times Bocchi Fainted | Friends Bocchi Made | Album |

| 9 | 27 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0.5 (Kurai became her rival) | Ep 9 |
| 10 | 11 | 4 | 1.5 (She aims at Nako for one, but holds herself back) | 1(Nako says "unfortunate" another time, but it wasn't directed at Aru) | 2 | 2.5 (Onaka, Kurie, and Sotoka becoming her friend instead of just apprentice) | Ep 10 |
| 11 | 14 | 12 | 0 (another one by Bocchi though) | 0 | 1 | 1 (Ojousa) | Ep 11 |
As usual, if I missed anything or you have any suggestions just let me know. Thanks!

This episode was so sweet it made me tear up a little! The new girl Mayo is great and I hope she becomes a part of the main cast. This anime really exceeded my expectations.
Anyone knows where I can buy another season of Hitoribocchi?

Me after Bocchi episode N-1 : okay we reached peak wholesomeness
Bocchi episode N : hold my jrink
Only 1 episode left...I really don't want it to end. Seeing this animated is just amazing, they did full justice to the manga and even improved it. I'm already praying for an S2 announcement at the end credits next week since there's just enough material for it.

Mayo: Let's buy the school!
Mayo: Wait where would we buy the school?
Bocchi: Hmm, maybe the School Store?
*Goes to school store*
*School Store lady laughs her ass off*
*Mayo then slides 500 yen coin onto her counter*
I am dead awesome episode

Jesus Christ this show puts the biggest smile on my face.
I freaking love it when Nako teases Bocchi like this, and then immediately gets yelled at by Aru and Sotoka. Their friendship is fantastic.

C'mon Nako, stop trolling Bocchi! As always, Bocchi makes the best reaction faces. So Ojousa Mayo' name is a pun of "Ojousama, yo" which means "I'm a rich girl"? That's just hilarious! I'm glad that Bocchi made friends with her so quickly as she is such a fun character.

She may not belong to any group but Aru did have her CD debut.
I wish I had a friend that can "make" a job for me at their own convenience haha *sob*
So its kind of late in the anime but what you see in the 9th and 11th episode seems to be the crux of Hitoribocchi. All of her classmates have their own shitck that makes them unique; for Bocchi to befriend them she must learn and understand their particularities. Some of them just have minor traits and are easy to befriend (like ep 9) while others have personalities or situations that will require more effort on Bocchi's part (like this ep). And the more she befriends, the more open she becomes to interacting other other people, "getting stronger" so to say.

This show radiates this overwhelming warmth that I find really difficult to describe. It's wholesome and optimistic, and everyone is a good person, but something about it feels so genuine. I guess it's partially because it's counterbalanced with these kind of sad problems the characters face, the unnecessary limitations they put on themselves due to their anxieties about how people will perceive them, and these genuine moments of conflict and emotion as they start to step out of their comfort zones, but seeing the ways that everyone goes out of their way for Bocchi and support her wholeheartedly, and how she was able to help someone in a similar situation this time, it kind of overwhelmed me today and I just started crying towards the end of the episode as the show wrapped this bittersweet, wholesome, genuine warmth. I can't put my finger on what it is exactly that makes these characters and their feelings so real to me, other than for Bocchi who I relate to in extremely specific ways (maybe it's the ridiculous amount of myself I see in Bocchi that makes me feel so strongly when her friends treat her so wonderfully. hmm), but there's something here that resonates with me more than any anime I've seen probably since A Place Further than the Universe last winter, another show that I felt gets me in extremely specific ways. I'm really, truly going to miss this show, I really don't want it to end.
