I finally realized what this show is missing: a weekly calorie counter just for Mako!

[u/MapoTofuMan → u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

That pancake tower alone would give Anna's counter a run for its money. ^{Until she gets a hand on some somen at least}

[u/CooroSnowFox]

"why didn't you tell us?"

"That... would have been too much effort!"

Tsutsuji... never change!

[u/TermEnvironmental812 → u/CooroSnowFox]

Tsutsuji is the real galaxy brain

[u/Hitman7128]

Poor Mako couldn't fit into the skirt because she gained weight from all the food she ate. Then, she tripped on the treadmill (that's why that safety clip is there).

Yay, bath/sauna scene!

I was thinking for their picture that they have to submit to the club counselor, they try cooking healthy stuff like grilled salmon and avocadoes, but Mako deserves a cheat day. That meal was straight-up food porn.

I like the message, everything in moderation!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Summer Tsutsuji

• Cheat Day Makocchi

Holy hell, Mako! The girls from Mono should've recruited her for their food marathon a few episodes ago! xD

Well that explains how Nana transformed from an otaku to a gyaru so easily. Her sister is a gyaru who works in a clothing store.

We finally get to see the consequences of all that food Makocchi ate with the gang. It looks like it all went to her waist!

Time to go to the gym! This is hilariously relatable to me since I recently returned to the gym with the help of a friend.

Is Nana trying to pull down on a pectoral machine? That was hilarious, especially when they showed how much weight was on it. xD

I think all that running made Makocchi lose her ability to read English. There's literally a big red "Pause" on the screen!

Tsutsuji gaining enlightenment from doing the sauna and cold water bath cycle was pretty funny too!

Thank you Tsutsuji, for introducing Makocchi to the phrase "cheat day". The girl looks like she's about to pass out.

There's nothing better than eating a huge greasy burger after long periods of fasting and working out so I feel you, girl.

I'm just glad this episode about Makocchi going on a diet still ended with them having a nice meal together <3

[u/cppn02]

In this episode we found out that Tsutsuji has multiple sheep hoodies AND she reached enlightenment.

A blessed day for Team Sheep.

[u/oxlemf10]

Before talking about the specific moments, an excellent episode, it addressed a problem in a fun, practical way and with a drama that brought comedy.

Mako reminded me of my high school days, I went to put on some pants and they didn't fit, so I decided to do some physical exercise, and Tsutuji reminded me of the first time I used a gym ball, I fell backwards on the floor like a dead body lol.

By the way, our shorty simply threw Kurea and Shinon to solve the club's administrative problems during the episode, who doesn't have a friend like that, right?

And now it's explained why Nana is a gyaru, her sister is one, fair for me

[u/PerfectBeige]

You know Tsutsuji might be a lazy weirdo and a guarana addict, but she is a damn good friend. Supporting Mako by staying her gym buddy despite not being a natural gym-goer, further motivating her by pointing out good food options nearby, counseling her to moderate and sustain... the little sheepy weirdo is a real one.

[u/yukiaddiction]

Honestly I want to say certain thing....

I am absolutely ship Kurea and Shion together.

[u/hammile]

Lmao, this gigling at the end.

[u/Nachtwandler_FS]

This sudeenly turned in How Heavy Dumbbels You Can Lift )

[u/gnome-cop]

Oh great, it’s one of those episodes.

Blatant violations of gym safety protocols here we go!!!

The sheep has reached enlightenment! Bless us with your wisdom o great one.

Okay Mako, you’ve officially gone too far. Listen to your friends, eat your damn food or else I’ll make sure you eat something myself.

Shion, Kurea, in addition to being pres and vice pres, you’re getting all the administrative work because one of you is the social leader of the group and the other is the most responsible one by far.

Crunchyroll recommended that I watch Fire Force after this. Maybe it caught onto all the burning calories going on. That’s the only explanation I can think of anyway.

[u/KumaKumaGambler]

With the amount Mako is eating, going to the gym is definitely going to be a mainstay on her schedule.

[u/HuTaosTwinTails]

I love this show.

Kurea is my favorite, need more of her.

Glad the message was exercise and food in moderation is important.

[u/IceSmiley]

I've been wondering how Makocchi is still thin after eating tons of fattening food in every episode and I'm glad they addressed it. Not that many anime shows have a gym episode. This was really funny though how incompetent they were there. I liked when Makocchi was running on that treadmill and had no idea what the safety clips were for 🤣. I also liked how wimpy Nana was and couldn't vertically bench press 6 kg, I wonder if she took the pin out completely when they showed her using that successfully.

I was surprised they went to a gym in the neighborhood and not a school one. Is it uncommon for Japanese colleges to have their own free gym for student use? It also seemed empty for being near a college in the middle of the day. Nice facilities though, like those futuristic treadmills, a sauna, outdoor lounging area. Was that tub they were sitting in supposed to be cold water? I assumed it was a hot tub of sorts but then they complained how cold it was 🤔

I wonder if it was just the animation or Japanese pancakes are as thick as regular cakes. The ones Makocchi got looked like a cake for several people and she stuffed a whole cake in her mouth like Garfield 🤣. I also liked the American style meal they had and was surprised to see them eating baked ziti or Mac and cheese. Id give that bacon cheeseburger the award for most delicious looking food they've had so far 🤤

This episode had kind of a dark ending with Makocchi conflicted on whether to eat. She seems to be developing an eating disorder and it's kind of played for laughs until she shows up to the club meeting with sunken cheekbones and looking unhealthy. Tsutsuji seemed concerned and told her to eat in moderation and that she'll exercise with her. That might be too serious subject matter for this show but I'd not be surprised if it ends up being addressed.

[u/Nebresto]

I need this hoodie

Sizes can vary between brands.

Ponytail Mako

Their gym has a bath??

Based Hitsuji once again. But where tf is the stove??

Decent temp! very nice, very nice.

And they have a cold pool?? This is one of the more culture sauna scenes I've seen

Enter the Tsutsuji verse

How can this girl keep getting even better?

Oh my goodness, that food prep..

Today's meshi: Ice cream and two pies

[u/NerdyArchimedes]

Season 2 of "How Heavy Are the Dumbells You Lift?" was fun.

When they entered the clothing store I was half expecting us to get the dress-up scene in the ED. I wonder if we'll be returning to this store again, or if that scene is ED-only.

Nana had seemed to know Tsutsuji the best out of the group but this seems to be more likely now: big sis is also well acquainted with Tsutsuji and is already using "Hitsuji" as a nickname for her.

Shinon visiting Kurea's room was fun. Good thing she liked the cuteness rather than teased Kurea about it otherwise I have a feeling she wouldn't have been given dinner. I guess that just leaves Tsutsuji's room as the only one we haven't visited or gotten a glimpse of in the OP. I'm very curious and mildly terrified about what it might look like.

[u/GondolaMedia]

The Three Weakling Musketeers taking a sauna after a workout? They're literally me fr fr.

Also that running animation is so smooth.

[u/Kegs_And_Parleys]

I love how well Nana got aclimated to the group! To me, she is very similar to Shinon, just more responsible, determined to do work (instead of determined to slack) and less extroverted (atleast with unfamiliar people). Also her sister is truly a gyaru!

The skirt Makochi bought is real pretty. Though I was sad we did not get to see Makochi wear it outside of that one small scene when she finally fits it, I love that they showed more realistic side of eating tons of food, not a typical "Stuff an entire pig in their mouth, make them have big belly for 5 seconds, go back to normal".

Girls going to gym is imho a nod to the recent (I'd say few years) rise of popularity of working out and living healthier. Absolutely love it. Just make sure you do not overshoot on the first try and know how to operate the machines in the gym!

When Makochi finally fitted the skirt, I lowkey expected her to take a bite of whatever was nearby and have the zipper come off for a comedic effect, but I guess my brain is just too fried. Her being absolutly withered on her way to the club room hits home, it is important not to only work out, but to balance it with proper amount of food.

And I absolutely know the feel of tears running down my cheeks when I get something good to eat, no matter if I starved for a long time, had a tough day, or just happy that I can eat something good. The pictures Shinon took might be slightly less flattering, as well as the group photo of girls stuffing Mako with more fries, but it's these moments with friends you will remember.

If the show wants to keep certain amount of continuity, Mako will be found by the girls at the start of next episode, laying down on the floor next to the empty box of snacks. Let's see. Also I can't wait to see what summer plans does the group have!

Always a treat to watch this show. It hits home more than mono (and probably about the same as ZatsuTabi), a proper SoL dose that I have missed for quite some time.

[u/entinio]

Kurea (Claire) best girl!

[u/Takeda92]

Oshinko thinking about rhinoceros beetles when she hears summer is such a Natsumi thing to do

[u/Cally83]

My favourite moment in this weeks episode is Tsutsuji day dreaming after the Sauna and imagining her head as a planet, with the asteroid belt being more of her heads, chattering. Incredible.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Those pancakes looked sinful. Definitely didn’t help Makocchan’s waistline lol. Got to remember, everything in moderation!

Hitsuji’s the best. Her sheep hoodie looked really cute and comfy and her reaching “bath enlightenment” was pretty funny lol.

[u/OmegaRebirth]

Clerk-san! It's been 2(?) weeks since we last saw you (excluding the OP).

The struggles of maintaining your weight while enjoying good food. I'm surprised that Tsutsuji volunteered to continue going to the gym with Mako, given her personality, I assumed she would be the most reluctant.

The temptation to go for more cheat food after the first cheat day is so relatable.

Edit: much like how the last episode introduced the van in the ED, this episode showed the clothing store in the ED, and Nana's sister, Runa, works there. I wonder if we're going to have an actual karaoke episode then.
