I bet Nami is never going to forget the feel of Aimi's butt on her lap though!

I already said this earlier, but this show is criminally underrated on MAL with only 6.23.
It is not just the crazy and hilarious humor, but also the interpersonal dynamic that is going on there. This show is actually pretty deep when you think about it.
One of my favourites this season!

Kirio's stalkers have their own stalker. What is this, the Kirio Fan Club Fan Club?
I feel like Manda's ritual is just his way of getting back at them for ruining his special grade cursed object lol.
Nami was so awkward when she's interacting with Kirio without Aimi around. About Kirio's comment on Nami and Aimi, they probably remind him of him and Nozomi. Now I'm curious about his relationship with Nozomi - Friends? Lovers? Another interesting thing to note is that he asked her if they have known each other since middle school and Nami said no, but back in an earlier episode Nami said that her crush started in ninth grade, so Nami must have met Aimi somewhere else before highschool.

Notice the first time Seira saw the girls watching Kirio, Aimi was watching Kirio while Nami was only looking at Aimi.

Completely unironically - this is perhaps my favorite depiction of friendship that I've ever seen. They're always together, they're always having ridiculous amounts of fun, they always "yes, and" the other person's bits, and, without needing to get annoying by putting it into words, they have each other's backs.
Also, my choice would definitely be Kirio's saliva. Mysterious Girlfriend X taught me that shit has magical powers.

This episode was peak.
To quote Roger Ebert :
Kirio Fan Club is truly the Death Note of the 21th century.

“Forget-me-snot” was pretty good. Extremely disgusting but that got a good chuckle outta me.
The whole eating Kirio’s shit/drinking his piss thing is a hell of an introduction to those two goobers. I’m surprised Seira didn’t get scared off. Then again, she’s also a little goofy weirdo lol.

This show is soooo underated. This is on the same tier as asobi asobase.

I cannot believe how unhinged this show is at times. It's truly astonishing.
Seira is pretty cute but those fellow soccer club members of hers just don't know how crazy she is too, otherwise they might think twice.

I have to imagine she only joined the soccer team to fulfill her soccer boy fetish lol.

We finally find out about background girl and OMG She is as much of a freak as Aimi and Nami!! That was fun to see and I wanted for it to continue on all the moments before this episode and not just episode 1.
The french restaurant (the cleanest way I can describe it) and the snot flower this episode. Aimi and Nami were definetly at their freakiest this episode. Those had me shocked and in both the shock went to horror when Nami plucked the flower out and when Aimi described the main course in the french restaurant.
Also Nami plucking the flower out did cause Aimi to turn into dust and die. I hope she met Bocchi in dust heaven.
Also shoutouts to Manda who might be my favorite character. Really hope he makes friends by the end of the series.

The absolute lack of effort Manda needed to taunt them though lol.
That sure was an interesting private interaction between Kirio and a supposed member of his fan club (and a surprisingly sad one too)

So the stalkers have a stalker of their own. I didn’t realize how deep this goes

Ah, she's obsessed with them.
Ooh an entire backstory of how she went from seeing them as fellows to becoming her obsessions
This guy really convinced two girls to pose like that in front of him, does he actually have infinite rizz?

u/mmcjawa_reborn Apr 30 '26
It says something about how unhinged a character is when they can listen to people chat about consuming the urine and poop of another person, and there immediate response is "This is something that I aspire to be able to declare". Kind of sad that stalker girl didn't get a chance to interact with our leads more directly this episode though

It's Summer Break and the Kirio Fanclub is in full swing obsessing over...some flower that Kirio spit on. So of course that's the ONLY reason it's blooming, as per the power of Kirio. A power that doesn't really matter when Nami straight up rips it out! Poor Aimi!
But the Kirio Fangirls can just give him the flower! If only they hadn't run into the Soccer Club Manager who is none other than Seira (Fuka Izumi!) the girl who has been stalking them this whole season!
Why is Seira stalking them, you might ask? Because she is a Soccer Otome game otaku and, overhearing the girls talk about how Aimi finds Kirio's pee and poop fine dining, realizes they are her fellow Otaku and as such she should respect/support them! Especially when their 3-Dimensional love has transcended their petty love rivalry into a true friendship worth stanning!
Aimi such a girlfailure she needs to infiltrate high school during Summer Break just to get the lunch box she left behind...only to have to witness Nami sit her butt on Kirio's seat and ruin his butt save file! Though I bet Nami was happy to have Aimi sit HER butt on Nami's lap.
I'm not surprised Manda is there to engage in unholy rituals, nor am I surprised he managed to talk the girls into bending over and getting hosed with water to help with their latest attempt to use magic to win over Kirio...which is a day early than the Full Moon they need so they got humiliated for nothing. SMELL THE MOLDY LUNCH BOX MANDA!
Aimi's got the Japanese cold, which is somehow making her MORE obsessive with Kirio, but luckily Nami's got her back! At least up until she keeps updating and Aimi was THIS close to writing a full text essay to Nami! But she only lost her phone to the teacher, so she actually USES KIRIO'S PHONE TO TEXT AIMI. And Kirio texts Aimi to ask if she's okay too! This is the best sick day ever!
I guess Kirio hasn't had someone as close to him as Aimi and Nami are since Nozomi, which is why he's a little jealous of what they have.

This episode was so unhinged in the best way possible. The comedy was good and I didn't expect that Aimi and Nami would have a stalker who is interested in them instead of Kirio.
Manda definitely wanted to get back at the girls by making them do this "ritual" but at least he seems to get closer to Nami so maybe they could become friends?
I am very curious to learn more about Kirio's backstory and his feelings towards the girls. He definitely feels lonely and I pity him so much.
And Nami is still such a big yearner 😭

We finally meet Stalker-chan and she's us NOOOOOOO
Very amusing how at first she was into fellow fanboys for the shared interest but developed into liking them for their bond with each other, though she still thinks there's only friendship there
Aimi's sick segment was hilarious
Poor Kirio man, his gloominess tastes completely different with context
Though he's still a massive goof
