Anzu really has it though, she did win big but well gambling really gets the best of everyone in the end... the way she presented her present was really lovely though!

And damn Mishima is way too eager to work and her mothers reaction was golden! Really love this development but still wondering what happened to that girl on the island. Let's see what's next.

Tired of "middle schoolers get adult job"? Too bad, we're getting more of it! Ah, this is how all of this started. Hitomi just can't say "no" and now even her mother can't save her.
That Anzu part, oh my God. She is such a nic girl, I love her. Well, horse racing is risky but she wanted to show her gratitude! This show is great, the greatest.
Next time we'll see one of my favorite chapters. I'm laughing already :D

Hitomi is going to get this mystical "15 years of experience" while applying for job when she will be adult. ;D

Anzu is pure.

I’m beginning to hate Utako a lot. She may be hot but she’s a fucking bitch. How dare she encourage second best girl, Hitomi to work, work, work and neglect her studies. She’s a selfish cow. My poor Hitomi. Bitch cow Utako is bullying her.

Also, Hitomi’s mom is loli fodder. She looks way too young for her age. She looks prettier and younger than Utako to be honest. Her mom is an idiot too. Yes, I get the fact that she’ll have more job prospects at better companies in the future but obviously Hitomi is not happy with her situation. She wouldn’t have called her mom there in the first place to “mess things up” if she was content.

I hope Hitomi saves all that money and cuts ties with her mother and Utako completely. She could live with Anzu somewhere.

Poor Anzu was corrupted by horse race addict, Sabu. He also got Nitta into trouble last episode. Fucking Sabu. Sabu, Utako and Hitomi’s mom all need to get hit by a fucking meteor.

Best girl, Anzu lost all her money because of that fucking idiot, Sabu. Hitomi was already willing to chip in to buy that massager. I hate him.

I don't like where this is going :/ Watching Hitomi working as a barman was funny, because she was studying and was earning some good money, now she just doesn't whatever she is asked to do. It's been hard for me to like Utako, especially after this episode... She was such a great character, now i just feel bad about her.

Poor Anzu :/ One episode to ruin everything.
A few episodes this anime was a 9/10 but now it's slightly becoming an 8/10.

Utako's a really bad influence on Hitomi for coercing her into getting a high-rise apartment flat and unintentionally forcing her to get so many jobs at once. She's stacked with cash, has many successful business opportunities, her own luxurious place to live in, and made her mom proud but the overwhelming adult lifestyle took a toll on her happiness and enjoyment towards living. Nitta noticed her dissatisfaction so I hope he'll help her out soon.

Anzu loves the feeling of receiving money but she actually doesn't have any use for it except for buying stuff for others. She might not be well-off compared to the others but she has a heart of gold for her family. She might've gambled all her money away because of bad influence Sabu but that gave her an opportunity to give an even more heartwarming gift to them. Anzu's the definition of wholesome every single time ;~;

Hitomi is honestly too good for this universe man. She works so hard as a middle schooler? I don't even work that hard as an adult. But I have to say her making connections like that is almost genius. But considering Nitta was getting harrassed by everyone by being a shitty caregiver at the start, he's the only one who notices Hitomi being upset at all this.

Anzu is so precious I have no words for it.

I'm glad that Anzu could give her parents a nice and touching present after all. ♥

However, how could Hitomi's mother let her daughter have so many jobs? (or rather, have any job...). Poor Hitomi, she needs to start saying the word "No". xD

Kinda funny how Hitomi is more mature than 95% of the adults in this show. She's gone through a lot, huh. Anzu's character progression was also super nice. It's been really awesome seeing Hitomi, Anzu, and Hina slowly grow over the course of these episodes.

I mean Hitomi's mom looks like 14

Poor Hitomi, she's truly the adult
Kinda feel bad for her she can't have fun like other kids
Maybe she'll have brighter future, who knows.. We'll never know
This anime won't let us see them grow up anyway :P

That's the danger of gambling, once you win you feel like you want more
I'd suggest to stop when you gamble once especially if you win the 1st gamble
At least Anzu learnt something today

Whahahahha. Hitomi is such a mature girl but she can't say no. She gets Busier. Pretty sure that her studies will get affected if she kept working. Her mother didn't help her at all lmao. But Hitomi experienced the life of a working girl which I could really relate to.

Anzu is such a nice girl, she doesn't think about herself and would make the old ones who takes care of her happy. Damn that Saru or Sabu? He makes things worse lol. But surely, Anzu learned something and didn't use her powers to win. Nice episode. I really like Anzu.

Ohhhhh myyyyyy GGOOOOODDDDDD! THE LEVEL OF HUMBLENESS!!!!!!! AND CAREEEEE! Its just too muchhh!!!,...

Honestly though that quote; "Have I ever really met a real adult in my entire life?" -- "... ... ... nope... ..."
That shit right there was priceless and golden lmfao!
The horse racing just made everything better! - I gotta admit I am overwhelmingly sad Hitomi has to work all those hours, people complained about her mom looking young but i think she had hitomi as a teen someone mentioned in the show. - So yeah i think that explains the young mom look

I also feel bad for Anzu not getting that massager but that was probably the most adorable part when she offered the free shoulder rubs -- i gotta admit i thought he was gonna have em massage the dudes feet for payment instead of horse betting to - but yeah, my last thoughts...
Why hasn't Hitomi just given 2-3 of her extra jobs to Anzu who totally deserves it, they both have a strong worth ethic, I'm sure she could vouch for her and work something out.

Urgh, Utako was really immature and annoying. I get that she's supposed to be selfish for comedy, but exploiting and bullying a middle schooler like that made her the most unlikeable character in the show for me. Hitomi's mother's reaction was weird too. Kind of depressing when Hitomi realizes she doesn't know any adult that can be relied on.

Even if she's making a lot of money, Hitomi still couldn't afford living at that apartment on only one job. She probably wants to save up more money so she can afford rent in the future.

Maybe you're right that she needs to afford the apartment also, but at the same time she did wanna go home if i remember correctly and her mom just like shrugged her off,,
It woulda been interesting to see her give the jobs to Anzu then tell her mom, that her friend beat her out of the job and now she needs to come home, cause shes living on a smaller paycheck.(s) seeings she did wanna go home,
And the reason shes working is blackmail/she cant say "no." - overall still a great story, hopefully it gets a season 2 eventually,

Yeah, the entire episode was basically a cry for help. Doesn't Hitomi outright question what all her effort is for, at one point? All her actions and misery are a result of her being pushed around by others, not deciding things for herself. Maybe her mom assumed Hitomi was more resilient and career-driven than she thought. Idk, I didn't vibe with this subplot at all.

And I do agree it would've been a better story to have Hitomi return home and focus on school again (while maybe keeping one job), and having Anzu do the other jobs, but I think where Anzu ended up did a lot of good for her as well.

Eh? Hitomi can't say no. She'll be burned out working even before going to college, maybe before she even gets to high school.

I blame Sabu for all what happened to Anzu's money on the last half. Hitomi was initially hesitant and anxious on horse race betting but it seems she ended up betting in between, and even managed to win one bet.
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,

Omg the adults are absolute fucking scum, Sabu and Utako really infuriated me and made me disgusted with this episode. Anzu and Hitomi really don’t deserve this and those adults are starting to lower my score down for the whole show, mostly Utako with her blackmailing ass. Unrelated but I also just realized that Hina wasn’t in this episode at all

What’s up with Utako? The only parts in the OP she’s in now are the negative parts, not just the ending of it. And she’s also vanished from the ED.

She also treated Hitomi like shit, I hope that this is building up to something. It was nice for Anzu to have another emotional moment, but I feel Hitomi deserves a lot more resolution right now.

You could argue these employers who didn't know better *could* get a pass on unknowingly introducing a middleschooler to corporate hell but Hitomi's own mom actively encouraging it? Even Nitta's parental instincts were fired up by how messed up that was, god damn.

One of the few times Anzu felt tempted to exploit her powers and not wanting a horse to get hurt is what stops her. She's already best girl, but if the show wants to supply more evidence to that notion then I'm not gonna complain.
