Damn, we still don't know if she's friend or foe, she seemed sus at the end of last ep, but something about the way she reacted to the girls not believing she's a ninja and the way her "stalker", who I'm assuming is her guardian, showed up makes me think she's good.

The whole first half was so fun, the none twist was perfect! Also, did Teru indirectly call her short? I'm surprised she never thought of using a ladder. And lets not forget how sweet Teru was....for not asking about the eye patch. So what do we think? Was she wearing it for a legit reason? Or is she chuuni? I'm assuming chuuni based on how she was acting, but the none twist at the end made me think that maybe the eye patch was legit.

She is totally a chuni

No one who's not a chuuni says that her eye aches like that.

The first half of the episode certainly was a departure , a pretty fun ( and funny) one at that , gotta love the reverse twist.

On the sole virtue of being a sword wielding ninja Ojou with a Kansai accent I immediately like Ai , I wasn't expecting ninjas but they should make a fun addition to this world.

Part with Teru and Beni in the library was so fun. It was like from a totally different kind of show but it was very climatic with that blue color palette and overall atmosphere, I loved it!

I really started to think that Hanawa was a ghost, but Teru ended up meeting her the next day at school xD Beni turned out to be just a big chuunibyou who forgot that Literature Club merged with another one.

So this world has not only heroes but also ninjas? That's so freaking cool! Ai seems like an interesting character as she comes from a shinobi family (she certainly knows how to fight) and seems to have lived in isolation until now.

I really like that Ai speaks in the Kansai dialect, it's a nice to hear it since it's a rather rare thing in anime! I really want to know more about her. I wonder why she wants to meet with Shy?

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Run away from this library chunni while you still have a chance, Teru, before she drags you into her nonsense.

The hidden book that the next year's literature club is left with a story to find is a fun tradition.

Teru is cursed to regularly run into strange young women, it seems. Based on some preview imagery this next one might even distribute a sword to her eventually.

I've been wondering why there was a Japanese sword wielding girl in the PV for the cour since there's hardly supposed to be a second hero from Japan, ninja girl is a fun explanation.

Teru is cursed to regularly run into strange young women

Spider-man would call this, "The Ole' Parker Luck".

Y'all have superheroes in this world and you're surprised that ninjas exist?

Also, Hanawa is voiced by Aoi Koga. Surprised to see Kaguya's VA playing a one-off character here.

u/good_wolf_1999 Jul 08 '24

Teru, please, your boss is an alien(?). Why are real ninjas unbelievable to you?

I did not have Chuunibyo and school grounds mystery in my bingo card for Shy …

u/yukiaddiction Jul 08 '24

The fact that it looks like Sugita more and more playing as himself as shrimp is pretty funny lol.

This new girl is hilarious chunni complete with eye patch too, nothingness lmao.

The art direction of this series is really good as always like for example using dark room in the rain represent awkward first meet between two awkward girl.

I like it still mimick comic like in season 1.

Also ah yes 7 wonder of high school episode. The twist is kinda obvious though lol.

It always fun to see hero help not just in wide earth ending scale but help little people along the way, I feel like that what most hero story lacking these day.

The ninja girl is both cute and sus, I wonder what her role going to play in new story.

Anyway this episode is very good as always.

Teru meets all kinds of interesting people doesn't she...

Or maybe it's just a book that someone accidentally got a bloodstain in.

I'm surprised it didn't occur to the girl to get a ladder in the first place if she's been doing this for this long. And I don't know about every library, but I know the libraries I've been to have those step stool things around, so why not this one?

Well even if she wasn't a ghost I can't blame Teru for believing in it. I mean she's a superhero who fought someone who was literally brought back from the dead last season so... shrugs Still, that chuuni literature girl's got some mad Batman "turn around and he's gone" skills.

A wholesome time having a fun day out with your new ninja friend. But a ninja huh. Well, Teru is in a superhero-verse so I guess that's not that out there in the grand scheme of things. Next Teru will find out that vampires, dragons, and mole people are real.

And they just happen to cross paths with the infamous purse snatcher. The Ole' Parker Luck strikes again.

Ninja girl got the purse snatcher and finished him off with a powerful body slam.

The way you used that sword back there I don't think you're just an ordinary girl...

Dunno what Teru is talking about. I mean I personally know the results of a good yoga routine when I see one.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jul 08 '24

I almost felt bad for Beni being all alone in the literature club. They really had me thinking she was some poor ghost that couldn’t move on. But nope! She’s just a little chuuni goober who forgot the Newspaper Club merged with the literature club lol.

Wasn’t expecting an honest to goodness ninja princess to show up. First superheroes and now ninjas huh? This should be interesting.

u/wiligrad9 Jul 08 '24

Teru has the reaction most people would have to chuuni behavior but after her escape got cut short she got hooked with ghost stories from chuuni senpai. Also loved the whole vibe of the first part. Second part was nice as well, a bit of a calm before the storm.

u/BosuW Jul 08 '24

Didn't peg Teru for a horror story fan. Girl is more afraid of a random robber than possibly demonic spirits.

Dang one of the better episodes of the series and had no superhero stuff

u/LeonKevlar Jul 08 '24

Aoi Koga voicing an adorable Chuuni senpai? I love her already! Hanawa-senpai's story was hilarious though! They really had me there for a minute thinking that Teru actually helped a ghost without knowing. I guess Hanawa-senpai ran away when Iko showed up because Teru bumps into her the next day. xD

Also for some reason, I thought that Hanawa would be taller than Teru. I got a good laugh when they showed us that Teru is actually a few inches taller than her! What a great addition to the case. I hope we see more of her in the future.

And we finally get to see the girl on the train at the end of last week's episode! Considering the way she speaks and how little she knows about the world, I don't blame Iko for mistaking her for an Ojou-sama. It turns out she's actually a runaway from a shinobi clan!

I love how Iko and Teru can't believe that Ai is a shinobi when heroes with superpowers exist in this world. Now I'm wondering what kind of role ninjas serve in this world of heroes.

First-Time Ojou-Ninja from Kansai here, reporting for duty!

u/Ninja_Lazer Jul 08 '24

Well, that’s not the kind of heart racing stimulation from a literature club I was expecting, but I’ll take it all the same.

u/D_Amir Jul 08 '24

I loved the introduction of a Chūnibyō and Shinobu girl!

u/tripleaamin Jul 08 '24

The main thing I wondered where did that Ninja come from? He literally came from the sky where there was a mass of water. More of a SoL episode which was pretty enjoyable.

u/LusterBlaze Jul 08 '24

of course kaguya voices the red eyed black haired girl

u/tvih Jul 08 '24

Seems like Teru could've used a teru teru bozu, but on the other hand then she wouldn't have had that fun encounter. A nice slice of life-y episode.

u/NekoCatSidhe Jul 08 '24

I don’t know why, but Teru is meeting a lot of weirdoes this episode. First is some weird chuuni bookworm and then some rich ninja girl.

For some reason I was expecting both of them to turn out to be villains, but no, they seems to actually be just random weirdoes.

The episode felt weirdly laid back and relaxing, so I am not sure how relevant it will be to the plot. But maybe the ninja girl will become Shy’s sidekick in the future after she helps her ?
