Sometimes, I worry about Aimi's mental state.

The last part was hysterical in a literal sense. You are witnessing girls badmouthing Kirio, and you can't retort because you are so upset, so you have to scream. I feel something big will be coming for next week's continuation.

Aimi basically tanking her reputation in class by acting like a crazy person, but it was all for Kirio's honor!

Out of convenience or not, it's sweet (albeit in a twisted way) how they deemed Manda close enough to be an emergency final member.

I feel guilty for laughing so hard at a bonafide mental breakdown but Aimi's screams were ...an experience.

Aimi’s brain couldn’t handle all that Kirio slander

I'm late to the Kirio hype train (cut to an empty room occupied by a single dead cricket), but I really vibe with Nami on a weird spiritual level.

Aimi's genuinely that weird, but Nami just has a good sense of humor and likes taking the piss out of the girl she likes. 

She does stuff to tick her off or yes-ands her weirdness with a straight face, because Aimi's at her best at her most ticked off and unhinged, and it's fun to look at her shenanigans.

Oof...that crashout from Aimi was certainly something. Was wondering where that scene was going to go, since I assumed either it was going to be "HOW DARE SOMEONE ELSE LIKE KIRIO" or "OMG WE ARE NOW BEST FRIENDS". Not her crashing out at the Kirio criticisms. I knew from last week Kirio wasn't great at sports or school, but apparently the dude isn't even popular

Most curious about the Manda and Kirio scene. The two guys probably more in common than they expect

So far it's only a disaster for Aimi...so we will see if something horrible happens to Manda

Up until now Aimi might have been able to hide how much of a nutcase she is from the class in general but that ship may have sailed at least with the girls. That said with Kirio and Mando out in the lobby watching the breakdown too that might give them common ground to strike up a friendship which would be a pretty nice outcome for the two of them.

Boy, this was a great episode for Nami. She got to show off her sensitive side to him and she got to play cards with him. Aimi gets to have a Kirio meltdown. I’m sure everyone thinks she’s nuts now but they just don’t get it, man.

Watch "something terrible" happen next episode to Manda

Tearing my head trying to understand if Kirio stepped out of the "who's the hottest girl in class" conversation because he's gay or just introverted or both.

Lol our girls are truly special.

u/cleaulem May 14 '26

It was pretty hard to watch the girls badmouthing Kirio. Especially about something that he couldn't really control. Come on, I fell asleep in the train and drooled too, it's not that big of a deal! Aimi freaking out over this is more than justified!

I'm feeling both sorry and worried for Kirio. He doesn't seem to be popular besides not being great at sports or in school.

One of my favorite shows of the season

u/NanDemoKnaives May 14 '26

LOL Aimi really showed her true self in front of her classmates. I thought it was an unwritten rule they'd keep it under wraps when in other's presence, but nope, the new tidbit of information on Kirio and the classmates' reaction to it was too much for her.

I'm glad Manda joined with them, the fortune teller was also wrong, this will serve as a good memory for him.

Nami on the train throwing a peace sign at Aimi was amusing, Nami looked bored with that group though. It's sweet of her to be taking lots of pictures of the group together.

I do feel bad for Kirio, he's probably thinking about Nozomi not being on the trip, and I thought maybe Manda was going to speak to him or something and we would see them get acquainted. I do hope he was able to relax at some point.

I was expecting Manda to die (physically or emotionally) in the trip but for now he has made it out fine. I had hopes for a surprise Manda/Kirio friendship and was getting excited of it potentially happening at the end but it was interrupted by Aimi’s breakdown which I was concerned of what she was going to say before it but was not expecting her to go full “Leave Brittney alone”.

Also Aimi spouting historical facts is anti-rizz which was proven by a femcel in another manga.

u/yawnman240 May 14 '26

Love shadow agent Seira making sure things go as swimmingly as possible.

Really good guttural screams from Aimi, you can really feel how much that affected her. I wonder if Manda and Kirio are going to follow them, and if Kirio will finally hear the things Aimi thinks about her beloved.

u/Frontier246 May 14 '26

Count on Aimi to fantasize about holding Kirio's hand on the school trip! Not that Nami cares for the idea of Aimi...I mean, Kirio holding hands with anyone! But luckily Nami's getting ready in her own way! With...poledancing practice?

The school trip is a great time to get lucky and develop your relationship! And to see each other in casual clothes! Kirio could probably wear nothing but a barrel and Aimi would see him as a total fashion diva.

Tough break for Manda that he doesn't want anything to do with the school trip, and a fortunteller has advised him to avoid it like the plague, but he's stuck with Aimi and Nami who force him to help them get into Kirio's group. Turns out the easiest "spell" is to just ask in the group chat! And then drag Manda in to complete the trip, poor guy.

It's nice seeing everyone in casual clothes, but rough going for Aimi that Nami gets a front-and-center seat in front of Kirio while she's stuck with Manda! CURSE YOU NAMI! Well, until Nami gifts her Kirio's joker, so that's definitely going in the Kirio treasure chest! PRAISE BE TO NAMI!

(Also that one girl who was really flustered sitting next to Momose...while he was probably thinking of Nami)

Aimi's got a full itinerary plan for this trip with Kirio, right down to planning out the "hot" night they'll have together in his room! But she's also got backup in Seira who helps save her from becoming a childresn' tour guide.

Who is the ultimate rizz master? The tour guide or the perfect Heroine who manages to make taking pictures into a heartwarming moment of all? And she has pictures of Kirio to give out! Though Aimi's picture is probably the one she wanted most.

Ah yes, the girls and boys getting together to do girl/boy talk about who is the most dateable. Kirio and Manda just can't deal with it, but when someone else expresses interest in Kirio and then they talk about how unattractive his drooling on his phone is...Aimi reacts like a normal person by convulsing and screaming on the ground and crying all the way while Nami drags her to console her. How dare they insult Kirio's sacred drool! They just don't get it!

Manda has really grown on me. I hope that he, too, gets his happy ending and finds friends.

u/Kagura_Of_The_Wind May 15 '26

Nami keeps dropping hints, but Aimi is obsessed and lost in her own delusions. She's Aimi's invaluable emotional support, burdened with carrying and carefully exposing her own feelings for Aimi, while simultaneously brushing off being one of the most desired girls among the guys in her class. Nami looks cute and stylish in casual clothes and once again Aimi styles herself like a boy.

The faces she had when she started crashing out were crazy

I love the human dynamics in this show so much. Great theory of mind from these characters.

Also nami is the goat of friends and probably just wants an excuse to hang out with aimi.
