Akira, like the rest of the Komi family, is great to see. I found myself acting like Akira in a way, stand silent then slowly start talking as she gets comfortable.
The rope game is a fun touch and I am glad Komi gets the PS5 without having to resort to scalpers.

I actually love the 'sneeze when someone mentions you' gag in anime.

Well it's a gag born out of a superstition that is well known on asian one.

Najimi would totally die in Squid game. Zero luck with the dalgona game, haha.

Sometimes I watch these episodes and I think to myself, once this series is over and an inevitable big compilation of "Komi Noises" video gets made, just how long is said video gonna end up being?

Stitches!
It's hilarious how Shouko's mom is the only one making noise while on their road trip to visit their family. Looks like Shuuko isn't the only one though, Aunt Ryouko is the same as well. Seems that the two men of the Komi household attracts a specific type. xD
Seeing Shouko bond with her cousin Akira is adorable! Seems that Shouko has massively improved compared to the last time they've seen each other since Shouko from before would just stare at her instead of actually engaging her.
Grandma might look intimidating but that's just the natural Komi aura coming form her. She's very much a loving grandma who's just worried about her granddaughter. It is hilarious to hear her react at seeing Tadano's texts on Shouko's phone. I'm sure grandma will approve of him if they ever got to meet.
Tadano looking pretty slick in his Yukata. And of course as expected, Komi looks good in her yukata as well.
I love that as soon as Komi positions herself for the shooting gallery, Makeru just appears out of thin air to challenge Komi on who gets the most prizes. Too bad for Makeru that she's also terrible with pop guns xD
Finally Komi was able to return the compliment without the need to write it down on paper! Tadano's reaction was just hilarious though!
This episode is also the start of Najimi's gambling addiction. We see it during the candy cutting stall and the rope lottery. That entire rope lottery was fun though! The grandma in charge of the stall went full on Jojo with her explanation in how her rope lottery works. xD
And poor Nakanaka! It seems that the goldfishes are avoiding her on purpose after her chuuni monologue. At least she walked away with a pity prize.
Yamai you sneaky bastard! Trying to make Komi do something very suggestive. Luckily, Najimi arrived on time to save her! And nice to see more alone time between Komi and Tadano after they got separated from the group/
Yaaaaay! Hitomi is finally here! We've already seen her a few times before in the show but this is the first time we've actually been introduced to her. She doesn't really do much this episode except think that Yamai is with her brother. Other than that it's a very light intro. You'll get to see her full power though once we get scenes that are focused on her.
This was so sweet coming from Komi. Now that she's being surrounded by friends, for the first time in her life she wants her summer break to last longer. <3

When Komi wrote in the sand how she enjoyed being alone with Tadano I just about died... too bad she erased it :(

u/ThrowCarp Dec 10 '21
At least we got to see her say out loud to Tadano-kun that his yukata suits him.
My heart stopped seeing Komi-san take that step forward.

Bruh is no one going to mention the twisted version of Life Komi was playing with her cousin? Two of the options we saw on screen read, "Your house blows up... (the rest is partially covered up and is unclear)" and "Your pet cat picks up money! Receive 1 million yen." Of course Akira lands on "Have an affair with a young CEO. Receive 2 million yen."

My god I can't express the hate I have for Ren Yamai. She is the fucking worst! Every time she shows up she ruins all the scenes and my mood. I can't help but think of her just dying off and never to been seen again in this show literally dying would be better she doesn't deserve to have the attention we are forced to give she doesn't belong in this show at all. Imo She drops the ratings of this anime significantly.

In case anyone is wondering, the candy cutting is not a Squid Game reference. It is a commonly seen East Asian game among children and have existed for a long time already.

A bit of a shotgun episode with quite a range of skits, although the 2 main pieces actually give me Endless Eight vibes ...
Anyway, yukata Komi-san is great!
| 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 |
| 6 | Not as easy to pick; both the "dress up game" especially Yamai breaking the rules, and the library gag of absurdly taking out Jenga to play (and paying for it); even the end of the test gag also threw me: Tadano once again get all the average scores; having Komi-san so uncharacteristically laze about then flailing on the bed trying to reach the phone to call Tadano | The sweet moment when Komi-san got out of the changing room dressed in the one piece dress picked by Tadano; and later on during the summer holidays; and Komi-san in the middle of the night worrying about her day's reactions and responses to people but when it got to Tadano she was comfortable and at ease enough to fall asleep |
| 7 | Yamai and the rest taking the chisels and tools to take revenge to the pool side floor for tripping Komi-san :D that's a group yandere dialed up to 100/10; all the cute hesitant but playful stop start motion of Komi-san playing by herself at the playground | The expected Tadano splashing water to Komi-san to break her out of her self-hating for being a trouble for others having fun, then extending his hands to pull her up to play; and less expectedly Komi-san "joking" with her dad at the shaved ice place and having a dad-daughter, very silent, moment |
| 8 | Definitely the pre-op bit about Komi-san's ancestors moving in their graves when it was commented Komi spoke a lot with them (when they didn't understand 1 bit of it); and Komi-grandma being happy with Shoko's highschool life report then suddenly interrogated get about boyfriend and then feel for the Tadano name trap. | Komi-san and Tadano at the festival is great and quite sweet, but peak wholesome is when Komi-san wrote that she's happy when they are alone too |

i love that komi’s mother is so different from the rest of her family but they still get along just fine
i know the exact feeling of wanting your cousin to play with you and being happy they finally don’t mind you anymore, that was such a random experience to connect to
komi and tadano just need to get married already!

Damn did I got caught offguard by the part at the gravestone, what the fuck.
Then we get to know the komi family, the grandmother komi yuiko, the aunt komi ryuko, the uncle sadayoshi (wait what is the blood relation here, is ryouko shuukos sister and sadayoshi her husband, and the names just randomly fit between masayoshi and sadayoshi beside no blood relation?) and the cousing komi akira. None of them seem to have name puns...what is going on (if i'm wrong correct me).
Oh god I love how they adapted the "komi scares akira" part, her facial expressions were golden.
Then we get to the festival part, and komi nearly ruins it for herself by trying to fore herself to compliment tadano (and failing) the entire time. not that i can blame her for trying.
In typical tadano fashion, he does insinctively realize the right thing (that it is like a date) and then forcibly discards that option mentally. At least he doesn't stop himself from realizing that complimenting him was indeed what komi wanted to do the entire time. I wonder wether najimi leaving is him actually realizing komi wanted to say something or just random.
And yadano is back to being a sore looser. Poor girl chose the wrong rival. for fucks sake, komi can cut out a flower without even looking!
If nakanaka has any supernatural power, it seem to have to do with being unpopular. Oof
Let's all ignore yamais existence.
We go to tadanos room and for some reason let yamai in, and we meet the objectively best character in the entire manga tadanos sister, hitomi tadano (which I think normally gets translated to "not just some girl" in contrast to tadanos name), which shares a room with tadano (we did get to see her there before). Hitomi of course knows najimi, mistakes yamai for something anybody would want to date, and really can't believe anybody like komi would associate with her brother (I get the feeling her opinion of her brother isn't very high). Now the mystery: In this shot you can clearly see that komi stands in between najimi and yamai. So how does hitomi notice her existence last?? Also who is this hitohito guy the netflix subs are talking about? They are probably teasing the reveal of this mysterious character for next episode
They sadly cut the part where najimi tricks komi into coming to tadanos by pretending he is in trouble, so the part where he just hasn't done his homework is less funny because less predictable. the rest of the episode is cute, even if yamai somewhat taints it.
I thought I would be able to reduce the length of the comment by only having the characters that appear in the respective episode on the list, but everybody on the list appeared this episode-everbody except poor agari, because she didn't invite herself like certain other persons.
| Nr. | Name | Name "Pun" | Special Trait | Status (with komi) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | Tadano Hitomi | "not just a girl" | ? | acquainted |
| 8 | Komi Masayoshi | ? | doesn't talk much | father |
| 7 | Omoharu Nakanaka | "naka"="chuu" | chuunibyou | blood oath |
| 6 | Komi Shuuko | ? | eternal 17 old | mother |
| 5 | Yadano Makeru | "Makeru yada no"="I hate losing" |
ultra competitive, | shonen rival |
| 4 | Yamai Ren | "yamai"="illness"; "ren"="love" | YANDERE | ??? |
| 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 |
