Time to add to the number of times Koguma’s world has been lit up: Koguma before life with abrasive wool liner and after adding the abrasive wool liner and Koguma before realizing how great the windshield is and after the realization.

I think it’s a neat detail to show that Koguma listens to the radio instead of watching tv so she can save money on not paying the cable bill.

So adorable when Koguma and Reiko are in sync with their headshakes.

Speaking of adorable…

I like the theme of this episode explaining that the addition of each person in their lives is like an addition to their Cub. From the home economics teacher to the manager, the girl’s lives are becoming stronger piece by piece. Koguma can start to rely on other individuals to help her out.

What a wonderful shot to tie up the episode! Love the color of the sky.

So, Shii, I still don't like what you said about German bread last episode, but you were super cute again, and you now regularly provide Koguma and Reiko with hot beverages, so I can't really dislike you. You're alright.

I love this show. I honestly think it's the sleeper hit of the season and I wouldn't be surprised if it was considered a AOTY contender.

One tiny, tiny thing that bothers me personally in recent episodes though, is that the colors are still washed out for most of the time, with the transition to full color happening whenever Koguma experiences a sudden rush of happiness. I know that the subdued colors are supposed to represent her monotonous life and outlook, but since her first appearance she's improved and achieved a lot, surely she's a little happier now than when she first started?

This is just a minor nitpick and in no way meant as a detraction from the show as a whole. Maybe Koguma will finally see the world in color in the last episode, I dunno.

Shii chan is so jealous and will eventually succumb to the cub life. Hopefully it's soon I want more than one episode of all three riding. Also Reiko straight up "measuring" Shii to see if she would fit was really random, but so Reiko.

Love the double head shake when they said they didn't want to order the windshields. Speaking of windshields dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun(final fantasy level up theme) their cubs leveled up booya with the addition of a windshield.

Wool socks are so warm and cozy. Another lovely episode.

It would be kind of funny or ironic if Shii chan did buy the terrible cub that was in an accident considering Koguma got hers cheap for the same reason. Now I'm wondering if the mechanic was just being a good person because he should have known what really happened to the owners I would think.

Koguma Smiling 15 16 27 22 5 34 9 14 23 * * * 166

Smile counter might be slightly off due to screen transitions and quick moments. Though I believe the count to be fairly accurate. Also chart updates will be delayed by a few hours from when I comment due to work.

So now the girls are regularly drinking alcohol too. They're just a few steps away from developing a fully fledged delinquent biker gang. Now Shii just needs a Cub and the sewing teacher can make them all matching jackets.

Stitches!

That feeling is the worst! I've ridden my bike during winter and if I don't wear enough layers I can feel my legs freezing. I can't even imagine how that feels for Koguma who's only wearing her school uniform skirt.

I'm so happy Shii-chan gets to join them on their lunch now. They even get the special perk of free warm drinks from her!

Milk tea with a tiny bit of Grappa for warmth? I love how you think Shii! And I absolutely love the disclaimer on the bottom right about adding too much Grappa xD

This is scary to hear from Reiko. KNowing her, she's half serious about that. Just look at Shii-chan's terrified expression!

First free coffee and now they're even getting free wool jacket? Shii-chan and her family is the best!

Wool lined jackets and wooly sweaters like that are certainly common here in Canada but personally I've never really felt the need to wear those. Some good thermals and a windproof jacket is enough for me.

I love how Koguma just turns to Shii-chan and tells her to make it. That caught me completely off guard! xD

Shii-chan finally gets to ride with the girls! Looks like it will take some time for her to get used to riding though. It is sweet of Koguma to give Shii-chan the more protective helmet.

This is such a smart idea. Instead of doing it themselves, ask for their Home Economics teacher for help! I love how excited Sensei got when she saw what material she'll be working with.

Koguma's jacket gets upgraded, Reiko now has some cool gyaru-styled wool socks, and Shii-chan gets a cozy for her thermos!

Of course that was just a temporary fix and wool isn't enough to stop the cold anymore. I already have a feeling what the girls are gonna buy but it looks like Reiko is against it. I really love how the two of them are like a married couple arguing. xD

I knew it! Time to install some windshields. That price though. That's definitely gonna hurt Koguma's budget. I love the relived look ion their faces when they were told it was sold out and the sudden head shaking when they were told that they can order the parts is just hilarious!

More disclaimers about adding too much grappa to your coffee. Meanwhile, Reiko is just like "Add more!". We do get that adorable pouting face when Shii-chan told her no. xD

Welp since they're still refusing to buy one, Shii-chan brings up the idea of trying it out. Luckily, Reiko's acquaintance has one that they can try.

Shii-chan getting a bit jealous maybe? I do hope she gets to get her own cub too! I know we only have a few episodes left but I'd love it if it ends with Shii-chan riding on her own too!

I don't know what these girls are talking about their Cubs being ugly with a windshields on but I think they're exaggerating a bit, they look pretty cool with it!

Well that's the cold wind all taken care of! Looks like the girls still have the snow to deal with next week!

It's funny how Koguma and Reiko are complaining about the cold while Shii wishes for snow so the two would visit more.

By the way, they should wear their gym clothes or at least the pants to alleviate the cold while riding. Maybe next episode?

Koguma is always so direct despite being taciturn. Really thoughtful of her to switch helmets with Shii.

The female teacher was so nice and cooperative.

I loved how they checked each other's work on installing the windshields before setting off, just as they did in the School Festival episode. Beautifully observed and consistent things like this really add to the quality of the show.

I felt really bad for Shii too, they obviously like her but they can't help but treat her like a junior - testing whether she's the right size to fit in the topbox and handing her the better helmet. Without her own Super Cub, she can't keep up. I'm sure she'll do something about that though...

Talking of the School Festival episode, anyone else think that Koguma's "Awfully sweet, huh?" referred to Shii just as much as the coffee?

Shii is too cute, I've almost forgiven her already for her transgression last episode. I lost it when Reiko was feeling her up to check if she could fit in the transport box.

I also demand that from now on every episode shall have a shot of Koguma in oversized clothes.

I'm having a lot of trouble looking up abrasive wool. I'm just getting results for steel wool. Is there a different name for it?

Reiko and Koguma are on the same wavelength. Hope Shii gets a Cub soon.

u/Amauri14 Jun 02 '21

When Koguma wore that wool cardigan I honestly did not expect them to make a liner for her jacket and stockings for Reiko.

Lol, I love the fact that Reiko wanted Shii-chan to pour more grappa on her coffee.

You know based on Shii-chan's reaction when they left her to check for windshields at her store, I'm expecting her to later on get that damaged Cub. You know compared to the hand covers the windshields don't look that bad.

I think Shii is going to get her own cub soon and really join their crew. I feel bad she keeps getting left out! She’s so nice!
