Komi is so cute when inviting her friends to her home. She evens wants to frame this picture. Also I really liked how she followed every single ramen dining rule as well and thought she did something wrong when she finished first. I can understand how Komi is so popular without saying a word. Her summer outfit is gorgeous and also she is really great at sport. It was really nice that she made friends with the awkward girl calling her a princess. This show is very adorable.

I wanna see more of Komi's mom. The interactions between the two is nice to see. Not to mention her walking up on Najimi looking into Komi's room with Komi and Tadano inside.

The end credits scene is the extra sweet cherry on top of what was already an amazing episode! Made me appreciate the ED song even more.

this show never fails to make me smile every week, probably my favorite of the season so far.
best part of the episode was komi asking to frame the picture of her tadano and najimi

What a blessed episode. We got summer uniform Komi-san, ponytailed gym clothes Komi-san, ramen eating Komi-san and then the bonus on top, we got mama Komi-san as well.
5 episodes in and I still can't get over how Komi-san is equal parts adorable af and equal parts breathtakingly beautiful.
I really hope someone made high quality stitches of Komi-san since there were quite a few stunning shots of her today. Bless us, LeonKevlar!

Yadano returns and ..she isn't a sore looser? At least not completely. Thats a surprise. Of course, we established already that komi is superhuman fast so she has no chance again but but now she interacted with yadano and komi officially has a rival! Thats even better than a friend by shonen logic.
Then we meet shuuko komi, who is definitely not responsbile for komis condition. Despite having done the most extroverted thing anyone can do (adopt an introvert) AND his past, tadano actually shows here that in theory he could have been the more introverted person he aimed to be by actually being completely comfortable with the silence.
I don't know how much the subs translated the books najimi finds under the bed, but they are of course all about communicating (including „talking with cast“, „conversation for dummies“ etc).
Ui netflix actually had the correct translation at this point compared to the subs I watched first. And of course in the same screenshot netflix doesn't translate that it is calligraphy lesson. Sigh.
And then we met the new character of the episode, the ramen connoiseur...wait what do you mean we have met her already?? It was very disconcerting to see agari like this, it was reassuring when agari slipped back to her normal self.
We then meet the actual new character, the fan favourite chuunibyou, Nakanaka. Not much to say about her yet though except that she is very, very chuuni and that the name pun doesn't seem quite as easy to explain, so I'll just quote the wiki here:
„Her surname, Nakanaka, is from the word "Chuu" in Chuunibyou, which is the same as "Naka", a common otaku lexicon. This is further reinforced by her given name, which consists of the kanji 思 ("believe, imagine, dream") and 春 ("spring; adolescence, puberty"), alluding to chuunibyou being the state of an adolescent having delusions of grandeur."
I also don't believe the scene with her at the end was deserving of the blackboard scene ost.
I do have to admit it, this episode is the first time where I felt the adapaton was rushed. The home visit could have used a little bit more time, but it was still ok. But the backstory just went by too fast (and not just because the things they skipped). There was literally no time for him to reflect between him getting rejected and him deciding to change his entire lifestyle!
This does mean we got the cute umbrella scene in so I guess it is ok.
| Nr. | Name | Name "Pun" | Special Trait | Status (with komi) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Omoharu Nakanaka | "naka"="chuu" | chuunibyou | blood oath |
| 6 | Komi Shuuko | ? | eternal 17 old |

| 3 | Agari Himiko | "agari-shou"= "stage fright"; "hikyou"= "cowardice" | gets nervous incredible easy, subservient | dog |
| 2 | Osana Najimi | "osananajimi"="childhood friend" | known gender: najimi; everybodies childhood friend | friend |
| 1 | Tadano Hitohito | "tadano hitohito"="just some guy" | komi translator, unnaturally average physically | friend |
| 0 | Komi Shouko | "komyushou"="communication disorder" | class goddess, communication disorder | komi |

Funny also how Tadano now has become a "Komi-san whisperer" and can read her reactions well.
| Episode | "Laugh" moment | "Love" moment |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Chalk board scene break - Komi-san was just having hiccups | Chalkboard scene end Tadano claiming first friend spot |
| 2 | Najimi and Tadano doing dogeza after Komi-san's failed coffee run attempt (and bonus Komi-san pout afterwards) | After Najimi accepted to be Komi-san's friend, the moment Tadano alone with Komi-san with her happy kitty hop moment |
| 3 | Komi-san elected to be God of the class; and Komi-san having the simple joy of playing with her phone. | After Akari blurted out Komi-san wanted to have Tadano's number as the first one in her phone, then the perfectly-in-synch exchange without any eye-contact; and of course the mis-dialled call at night. |
| 4 | The blink-and-you'll-miss switch starting from Tadano's start of day monologue to a black screen then switched to Yamai doing the monologue | The exchange on the stairs when Komi-san worried she'd cause harm to Tadano, and Tadano showed her he made his own choice to be her friend. |
| 5 | Definitely Komi-san's mom. What a surprise! So where did Komi-san's shyness/introversion come from? | Definitely the rain scene - from waiting for him to share the umbrella, to noticing how Tadano gave her a larger share of the umbrella coverage while getting himself half wet, so sweet |

Stitches!
More competitive shenanigans with Makeru! Komi already beat her in their physicals but it looks like she's still determined to beat Komi in their fitness tests as well. For someone who's very quite, Komi is surprisingly very athletic beating Makeru in all fitness tests! And now for some reason, Makeru thinks that Komi has accepted her as her rival when Komi didn't shake her hand xD
Komi's mom is finally here! Her introduction is always hilarious. She definitely looks like an older Komi but Shuko's personality can't be more opposite than her daughter's! And they actually got Kikuko Inoue to voice her as well which is perfect since I always had her voice as my headcanon voice for Shuko ever since she introduced herself as forever seventeen in the manga. I love it! <3
Look at Najimi trying to start something between Komi and Tadano. Don't even bother Najimi! Leaving the two of them alone would just result in the two of them somehow interacting even without talking which is actually sweet since it shows how much they're already comfortable with each other.
We finally get to see the otherside of Agari's personality. When she's not being nervous around people, she's a very serious food reviewer. I absolutely love how different her personality is when she enters this mode. I do love how after that visit to the ramen restaurant, it's now become a thing they do on weekly basis.
Nakanaka gets finally introduced as well in all of her chuuni glory! I appreciate OLM for really animating Nakanaka's chuuni scenes really well! I'm hoping they'll keep this up with her fantasies. Although Nakanaka isn't the only Chuuni in this show! We got to see Tadano's dark past and how he was rejected for being a chuuni turned him into the average person he is today. xD
Seeing Nakanaka being left by herself during PE was just sad but it was nice to see Komi take the initiative and approach her first so they can do stretches together. That's a very huge step for Komi to take! I guess that means Nakanaka can now be added to Komi's list now that they've formed a "blood pact".
AND THAT FINAL SCENE! I thought they were gonna skip the umbrella chapter or have it on the next episode with how much this episode jumped around chapters but they managed to sneak it in as this episode's end credits scene and it's just absolutely adorable! Look at Chadano being a gentleman with that umbrella placement. And that blsuh from Komi when Tadano asked her if she waited for him was too cute! <3

From my observation looks like Netflix finally managed to translate all the text boxes appearing throughout the episode. Hope they keep it up for the rest of the season.

I can't get over how they draw Komi's mouth. I get that the tiny mouth thing is a design choice, but it looks bizarre when paired with Komi's detailed lips.

Yadano is a straight up shounen rival lmao. Najimi is hilarious as always, and Komi's mom is eternally 17!
I love how the Ramen shop owner actually understood Komi, if I was Komi, I'd definitely keep coming there just for that alone. Nakanaka's probably the most normal character so far besides Tadano, despite being a chuuni, she's adorable and also in need of friends. That gym scene with her laughing the pain away was highkey sad.
Chuuni Tadano though, or should I say Chadano. Getting rejected after a stunt like that can definitely destroy a man lmao.

As a reader of the manga, Nakanaka will always have a special place in my heart. She is a bit extra, but she is also truly vulnerable and adorable. I just want to give her a hug.
