I don’t know if I prefer the light novel or anime for this version. Otherwise, it follows the light novel very closely. There are so many lines in the light novel that I would have loved to hear Eri Kitamura voice so it’s a shame they were cut. This means that she is also present for the scene where Yasuko forces Kitamura to dye his hair black. This is a shame because Ami’s hilarious in this part in the light novel, and she mentions how her work isn’t going so well and how part of that is due to the months she took off due to the stalker which I thought was a nice touch. In the anime, this is changed so that they don’t go to the cafe and the three of them just go to a batting centre. In the light novel, after Kitamura’s first night staying over and Yasuko kicking the kids out of the house to enjoy some sleep, they go to the cafe Minori works at and run into Ami and the four of them hang out. Thus this volume is adapted in episodes 15 & 16 of the anime. Volume 2 of the light novels did have a short story about the “Palmtop Tiger of Happiness” but the episode is nothing like the short story. I still enjoyed the overall, and I loved a lot of Ami’s scenes in it but I don’t think that it was as interesting as the other volumes in the series so far.Īs far as I can tell, episode 14 is either anime original or adapted from a short story that I haven’t read yet. However, I don’t really like Kitamura and some of his actions here really annoyed me, especially towards the end of the volume, even though I understood them.

On the one hand, I like that it explores Kitamura and gives him a lot more flaws and makes him a more well-rounded character.

The next day, he comes to school with his hair bleached, and it’s revealed that he quit the student council, and his behaviour has something to do with Sumire, the student council president.

The cultural festival has come to an end but Kitamura starts to act weirdly vacant and one day snaps in class and announces that he quits everything. Please check it out if you are interested in the series. Seas Entertainment has published this series in English so
