Metaka learning about Nikaidou's past, consequently his real self and Nikaidou Imitate Metaka overslept attitude as his current persona is an interesting serendipity.

Their admiration towards each other is kinda sweet.

Wishing Metaka and Sato the happiest of movie dates.

They've inspired each other and they're both inspired by Junji Ito.

It was really cool that we got to see Akira's POV too
"Tarapia tapioco! Brematurata la supercazzola, o scherziamo?"

"see you in the summer
somewhere."

The first thing I thought about Nikaidou was that he looks exactly like the Junji Ito character who eats screws, so I already loved him just for that.

But then having this story with Medaka was 😍😍😍. Truly a gay episode, no one can tell me otherwise. I am in loooove. I was screaming the whole episode 🤭🤭.

Medaka falling in love with Nikaidou's smile, then Nikaidou falling in love with his shisho that taught him how to repel girls, so nice 🥹🥹

Miyoshi's popularity with the Kouhais is one thing last episode, but for Yuuichi Medaka, some people like Akira Nikaidou just irks him at best.

Worse still, Nikaidou's personality creeps everyone out, much more for Medaka hearing all sorts of rumors about him. And one moment come when they're tasked to clean the toilet, which the latter's subtle self makes him feel like someone out of a Junji Ito manga alright. The thing is, hearing him from another POV of his old school friend Minato Satou, whom she has a very different perception defining him as a "white knight prince", and an incident that traumatized so much for him to move out to Yuuichi's school. Still, Yuuichi's first mode to Nikaidou in public and private view, the latter is not who he seems, and this secret is only known to the former.

From Nikaidou's POV, the Junji Ito act is VERY real, something which stems from his middle school and him wanting to hide his rather beautiful face. But to think that even he has his own Junji Ito moment meeting someone as creepy as him now, the specs become part of that new "creepy" persona of his...being Medaka of all people. Like master, like student, both Medaka and Nikaidou are actually alike.

To think that an episode that doesn't feature Hayashi is the best episode of the short series, this would've been the BL-esque story that feels every bit as imaginative, with realism.

Nikaido's smile is so pretty! I was like "Okamoto Nobuhiko voiced him, of course he's going to be a pretty boy" lol
I initially did not understand what Nikaido was reading on his phone HAHA so he looked up Junji Ito's Uzumaki.
The reveals in this episode were fun. Their connection started peculiarly but all is cute and well :D

Completely different school, no Hayashi but maybe the best episode so far? I get that somebody putting a used pad in your locker would be traumatic even for a girl, but Nikaido, dawg, u don't have to change your whole personality. Somebody spit chewing tobacco juice or something in my shoes, twice, and I just dumped it out and continued wearing them.

Akira didn't deserve to live like this just because a crazy woman did this infamous thing to him! Medaka is going to regain her smile and her happiness!

So basically he had "The Gojo incident" happen to him in real life because of how popular he was. Damn I'd be traumatized too.
