This was such a sweet episode. What stood out for me was how Mahiro heard the boys talk about the game and instantly ran towards them and kinda forced him/herself into their conversation. And then how the one boy said that Mahiro's favorite game came out before it was born - Mahiro had such a nice reaction to that.
"Oyama is pretty cool." - Well, Mahiro's found him/herself some boy friends, probably.

But what I liked even more was the cookie baking part. It was so cute and relaxing, and wholesome. I really enjoyed the part where Mahiro and Momiji were learning how to bake cookies with Kaede.

But the real cooking in class was even better. Honestly I thought that the idea to make Black Tea flavored cookies wasn't that good, but it seems it turned out well.
And I absolutely loved the chibi animation style when the girls were making the dough - it was like totally adorable.

Really now, I need some insulin, because this episode was 100% diabetes.

The issue of all of this is the tolerance level is just in orbit.
Sure i a changed into a boy at my same height (cuz im 4’7” irl) then ya id try to deal with it and roll with it. But unless the drug that changed me in such a way also inflicted my mental awareness of the position iv been put in, such as acting depressed, suicidal, or hating life (like how most men are), then id be keeping my distance, trying not to do much in interaction, so forth.

Unless the guy was… i wouldnt say flamboyant, more like in the mindset of a little girl, then weird, but alright. Playing cute and dressup and getting your hair styled?

Hormone and pheromone triggers and shaping could be a thing. But would take a long wile.

Kid go back to Cocomelon youre not ready to talk about life quite yet.

that was truly rude, harsh, and you should apologize.

no he shouldn't as the reply was to a rude and harsh person that is intollarant to men that don't fit its standards.

Nothing i said there was rude or harsh, if you dont think men have it hard hun, then id suggest looking up some studies. If anything youre the one being intolerant here, projecting.

read your own post closer (hun)
As you state men are natural in acting depressed, suicidal, or hating life there was no mention in th post that some men are like this because society treads them this way

the "i wouldnt say flamboyant, more like in the mindset of a little girl" is a rude way of saying liking cute and being absend minded

It's nice you think your comment was not rude, but noo still rude

Im sorry, but when a majority is the standard… then its the natural. Yes mental issues are a problem, never stated that it wasnt. Stop being a Karen.
? An observation of a situation where the MC is into cute things is shown, but not acting like it. As shown. But then later turns more towards rolling with it. This is a point in dynamic to the control that was his attitude in ep1.
Another person did say that the drug might be effecting him mentally, and it is mentioned as well a few eps ago as a prediction.

If you cant understand this hun then ya kinda lost on several levels

You broke the "episode aftermath immersion" with your word choice. Episode was such a sweet thing to watch and you thrown things like "suicide" to it... Rude.

The drug made by his sister surely affects his mentality,the only thing that genderswap really affects are emotions cause they become more unstable,so without brainwashy stuff you wont be able to get the effect shown in anime.

Next time please use better words to make your thought onto the comment page.

Ima repeat the word just to bully you now o3o

You cant bully me anymore.
As i was Jack the Ripper today,with plentitude of Zandatsu and ripped out every single spine possible.

o.o? With unwanted sexual intercorse?

Memes,the DNA of the soul.

*bullies u lots*

'Cocomelon' is a YouTube TV show for THOSE 4 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER! do some research before you make a comment.

That was uncalled for

that's my line

At least months must have passed since the change. Even if Mahiru was not that much into the girl mentality at first they showed us that it grew on him.
Those sincere friendships helped too. It gets thougher to find those as you grown up

Yes, its what im thinking. Because being changed against your will, keeping a secret, then embarrassing yourself infront of family if you tried rolling with it? Is a scar. But if theres been mental changes then itd make sense.
Hormonal changes havnt really been seen anywhere yet. Which are super mood swings.

He always thought of him as an embarrassment on the family already, compared to his little sister which is why he became a shut-in in the first place, turning into a girl might be insane to handle not only at first but in general, but Mahiro was already down on the hikikomori rabbit hole and this change also made him slowly come out of his shell and socialize.
i understand that you might not consider it fully realistic but it's not completely out of the window in my opinion

I agree that it possible. Emotions and its chips it puts on people are all different. Maybe im just thinking of this as if each episode is 1 day… meaning its been 7 days since his transformation. Ik this is very wrong, but it didnt push much on really any denial or desire to fix or what not. It brought it up, but and even now im wondering if thats even an objective anymore.

In the episode where he/she/they got his/her/their period, or was explicitly stated that it had already been about a month since the transformation, so this is at least month 2 if not later.

I wanted to say something like that, I can't seem to find the right words though...

1: period(the females' monthly thing)
2: body is of middle schooler's age
3: mental is being affected by little sister's shenanigans, little sister's friend, middle schoolers and drugs
4: he is somewhat enjoying this, and just going with the flow, and maybe there are actually no side effects...(although he might actually be enjoying this, i dunno)

Dont forget drugs. Hard druugs o3o

I alreay said that and i think it's because of his brain change to a middle schooler...

Yup. Rolling a mature brain back should have reversion to that age

Most men arent depressed, suicidal or hating life. Don't stay on 4chan for too long.

WHO and CDC info doesnt come from 4chan

From "Prevalence of Depression Among Adults Aged 20 and Over: United States, 2013–2016": Women (10.4%) were almost twice as likely as were men (5.5%) to have had depression.
And two points from "Symptoms of Depression Among Adults: United States, 2019": In 2019, 2.8% of adults experienced severe symptoms of depression, 4.2% experienced moderate symptoms, and 11.5% experienced mild symptoms in the past 2 weeks; Women were more likely than men to experience mild, moderate, or severe symptoms of depression.
Both sources cited from the CDC show that not only are you dead wrong about most men being depressed, it shows you're also horribly wrong about men being more depressed than women.

So go back to crying on 4chan and stop pretending like you've actually ever read an academic article.

Shut in's have low social skills and if I'm not mistaking Mahiro comments about how they are all way younger than him, hence why he acts even weirder. 0 social skills and being forced (in a way) to interact with people younger than him. So it is not that weird if you put everything in context.

I mean, who says that the drug doesn’t affect your mental state? AFAIK, it’s an experimental drug so not all effects are known.

o3o
Tell your mom that, she wont get her nose out of my bush, her breath is making me wet

Yeah,like heart meltingly "cute" in CGDCT genre.
Even the arctic winter with ice covering my heart melted into a beautifull flowery spring... Just for this episode...
Other episodes were around 8 out of 10 and 9 out of 10 constantly but this episode is 10 out of 10 .

Lol, meanwhile I'm speedrunning through this show as I saw a video titled something like, 'Oshimai is a deeper show that you may think.'

Oniimai is a wholesome show,whoever "deez nutz"ed you into watching it technically baited you into something SUPER wholesome and sweet.

I haven't even clicked on the video lol. I read the title... and remembered this anime lmao. I had watched 5 episodes and was wanting to get this off my watching list ASAP xD.

Your choice,i personally like something like solo leveling or super wholesome like this.

Mahiru can solve all questions

Mahiru???

Ironic that she helped wake up the sleepy girl only to fall asleep herself lol

I'm getting a ojisan vines From blue haired girl

She could wake others but not herself.

More like "moronic" imo: that guy just isn't satisfied without doing something insanely cringey at least once per episode...

me literally happy that waited for the Uncensored Version when there really aren't any noticeable differences

Its what we all wait for. Its what we all crave, its what the body needselectrolyteswhat did you think it was? Perv asshat

What a mundann man eh?

finally a joke that does not imply the commenter is sus
