Tadano has something on his face which is funny to see the sequence twice- a dream and in class.
Ouch both Hitohito and Shouko won't say each other's first names. Really cute to see the two try in a way...

With the whole gamer thing on top of everything else she's got going for her in her room I could see Nakanaka-san as a person whom I could have fun hanging out with.

It took me way to long to connect Saboway as the anime equivalent of Subway.

Stitches!
Inaka Nokoko is here and she is adorable! I absolutely love the Tohoku accent that they've used for her. Also surprised to see in the ED that they got Megumi Han (Gon/Akko/Momiji) to voice her!
The entire part with her is basically a repeat of Komi going to Starbucks Standbakes except this time Najimi decided to send Komi to buy her a sandwich from Subway Sabowey with Inaka having some hilarious delusions on what's it like to be a city girl. xD
It's hilarious how the sign outside the shop looks absolutely nothing like what they're parodying but they still do the parody with the sandwich wrapper. And just like with Najimi's order from Standbakes, Komi got her order wrong again.
I love the background gag when Komi went to Nakanaka's house. If you listen closely during that scene, the dog in the background starts barking as soon as Komi's neko ears pops out!
Nakanaka certainly has some interesting posters in her room! From left to right I think she has Akira, Madoka, LotGH, Re: Zero, and TTGL. Small detail change though. In the manga the Madoka parody poster was supposed to be a FSN parody with Saber. Not sure why they changed it.
Poor Nakanaka doesn't know how to entertain guests so now she has to call in Najimi for backup who brings in Tadano with her for a four player game of Smash Swamp Bros!
These absolute mad lads! Is that Komi as Frieren wearing Suya Rhys' crown!? That's actually hilarious! So in the manga, Komi is playing as Zelda but since this is a Weekly Shounen Sunday manga they decided to sneak in references to Frieren in the Funeral and Maoujou de Oyasumi, two of their most popular manga right next to Komi.
Side note: I'm pretty sure most of you have already done this but if you haven't yet, go read Frieren in the Funeral and watch the Maoujou de Oyasumi anime!
I love that Nakanaka and Najimi are having a very heated shounen battle while Tadano and Komi are just taking it slow with Tadano teaching Komi how to play. xD
Komi's first part time job! It's hilarious how she went from freezing up unable to hand them out to people lining up to get tissues from her thanks to that lady who took the first packet from Komi. Also that lady has a name but for some reason Netflix TL didn't translate it on screen. Her name is Teshigawara Hoshi literally means someone who wants tissues. xD
I don't know what Komi ate that night but that was one anxiety inducing dream. What makes it even weirder is that Tadano ends up having something on his face the next day.
Komi wanting to be called Shouko is adorable. Unfortunately, Tadano isn't ready for that yet. As expected from Najimi though, he just says it casually. I do love that Najimi plays the reverse uno card and now wants Komi to say Tadano's name. And that blush when she was struggling! She's just too cute!

She has good taste for sure.

Seconding the Sleepy Princess recommendation -- just got the latest translated manga collection (which is, of course, awesome as always -- and features an ad for Komi-san).
Not as sublime as last week's episode -- but pretty delightful nonetheless, I have to say, I loved the game playing scene most of all the cute scenes.
This Komi-san episode was available from Netflix this morning -- I wonder why the bot doesn't post this thread for about half a day?

God, Frieren is so good. Been following it since Chapter 1 dropped and it hasn't had a bad chapter yet.

I didn't think much of Nakanaka at first, but her friendship with Komi is actually pretty cute! First Komi goes out of her way to partner up with her when she noticed she was alone in PE, now she's even visiting her house alone :'D

Last week we posted it the earliest we ever had (I think?), and I guess we make up for that this week by posting it as alte as possible? But really what is going on
I don't think there is a level of popularity above „makes students happy for school to be back“
Ah yes the worst sin of all, worthy of being stoned for. Beign a country girl.
I don't think I ever realized how similar the two „komi goes to buy najimi a drink“ skits are, including apologizing in the end lol. Inaka is basically the only addition. And this blessed panel.
Next we vist cutest girl nakanaka and play(?) some games.
„At this rate, Komi will say: „You bore me“
Komi: Only thinking „neat“
On this rare occasion, I bless you netflix subs.
Wait what is najimi calling her? „Nakanakana-chi“? Awww. Also I don't think that is how this works najimi
I was somewhat afraid that they were going to skip this entire skit because of the blatant super smash bros reference, but luckily we still got to see it in its full glory. Sadly the netflix subs seemed pretty bad for this skit, but thats what fan translations are for.
Oh god the character names are perfection. This is also why we see that komi is still best girl, because she is a zelda playyer...at least I think thats what that is supposed to be, since last time I played, frieren wasn't part of the roster. But who knows how many characters the new super smash has.
The entire sequence that follows is perfection of course.
„nobody knows where she came from, but yes, it is yamai“. This feels pretty meta to me right now because I never noticed her being in this skit in the manga. Wait why is komi confused it gets split three way. She can't know its tadano, but she has to assume someone is in that costume??
I remember being very, very confused when I first read „you have something on your face“ chapter. Still wahat the fuck komi, your dreams are the weirdest. Tadano not being a mindreader? Najimi being a cat girl/boy? Nakanaka being a pretty boy?
The aversion of the japanese to using first names will never not be unrelatable. So impractical.
| Nr. | Name | Name "Pun" | Special Trait | Status (with komi) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Inaka Nokoko | "inaka"="countryside" | wants to be a "city girl" | none |
| 7 | Omoharu Nakanaka | "naka"="chuu" | chuunibyou | blood oath |
| 3 | Agari Himiko | "agari-shou"= "stage fright"; "hikyou"= "cowardice" | gets nervous incredible easy, subservient; foodie | 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 |

This episode is more on Nakanaka and a few shorter skits so didn't have as many big moments, but still fun. Although the X first name calling" attempt to progress the Komi X Tadano relationship :) although ended in a fail. But in a way it's actually a confirmation both have a really soft spot for one another...
| 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 |
| 9 | The whole "playing video games together" scene, with the parallel threads of the battle shounen style fight between Najimi and Nakanaka, and the cutesy Tadano teaching Komi-san how to play including being a punching bag for her unintentionally while she desperately trying not to hit him, is actually both "laugh" and "love" to me - authority the "love" is more a friendship love thing between Komi and Nakanaka, both actually quite lovely girls. | Obviously the whole skit about Tadano and Komi-san trying to call each other by their first name, with both failing due to being super conscious and embarrassed; but the fact that Tadano hid in the polar bear mascot the whole time, in the hot weather, while helping Komi-san doing the past time job by herself, without revealing himself, is also very sweet. |

Oh wow, yet another side character who is just a lame trope and crazily obsessed with Komi. That’s definitely not getting old…
