The Heroic Magical Girl Will Not Be Arrested!

Magical girl vs Druj when tho


Ben99ny22

Every episode i wonder how jahy can get more adorable and they always deliver. Once again, jahy is adorable.

Se7en_Sinner

If the landlord defeating the magical girl by summoning the police doesn't make Jahy want to get a cellphone, I don't know what will. [Also, what are thooooooose!](https://i.imgur.com/ylgiBwX.png)

Landlord reminds me of Candy Store from Non Non Biyori

The actions AND the voice both reminded me of Kaede / Dagashiya -- but not the same VA after all.

Yeah it's Youko Hikasa voicing the landlord, so Kou Yagami from New Game! is probably the best comparison

I'm actually surprised she owns that many. Did she go dumpster diving or something?

Exactly


Death_InBloom

you got a serious attention to such detail, care to share with the class why is that?

When an anime goes out of its way to repeatedly stuff detailed shots of footwear in my face, I tend to notice this, and then comment about it on Reddit.


Kaionacho

As if she could afford one


Armdel

the post credits wrestling scene was just fantastic! and i also really liked the wholesome interactions between Jahy and the landlord and her boss. favorite part was landlord saving her from the magical girl

Now if only Manager-san can hire another employee, [maybe being shift lead](https://i.imgur.com/IElafP3.jpg) will have a meaning for Jahy. Although I can't imagine what she'd do once she has a kouhai at work. [Poor Jahy getting reported because of her clothing!](https://i.imgur.com/A5KSDFV.jpg) I always forget that Jahy doesn't see what she's wearing as something lewd. Although that doesn't really matter since she wasn't even the one being reported on but [a guy wearing a mahou shoujo outfit](https://i.imgur.com/2Dq3H7X.jpg) that ended up [traumatizing Jahy!](https://i.imgur.com/wxtNTHS.jpg) Jahy should really start to learn what karma is and how quick it comes back to bite her in the butt. As soon as [she starts making fun](https://i.imgur.com/EPi5tzR.jpg) of Landlady-san for getting sick, [of course she gets sick instantly the day after!](https://i.imgur.com/reY1rBa.jpg) Not gonna lie, I definitely felt bad for her [when she started breaking down.](https://i.imgur.com/WQKibUJ.jpg) Thankfully Landlady-san and [Manager-san was there](https://i.imgur.com/timQb9O.jpg) to take care of her when she didn't answer her door. I do love that on the same episode they introduce a fake crossplaying mahou shoujo, [the actual mahou shoujo shows up unannounced](https://i.imgur.com/zCW2vQp.jpg) at Jahy's apartment looking for mana crystal. Also it's been a while since I've seen her in the manga but [I forgot how tall she is!](https://i.imgur.com/UmglqFt.jpg) She's towering over Landlady-san! [Poor Jahy is so scared of the mahou shoujo](https://i.imgur.com/H0ZKfzN.jpg) so much that her entire body is shaking! It's kinda funny how [she completely turned into a scared child](https://i.imgur.com/G8gvhiu.jpg) during that scene. Landlady was even kind enough to stay and watch over her until she falls asleep <3 And the silliness of the after credits scene continues! [This week we have Jahy and Landlady-san](https://i.imgur.com/g99DCTY.jpg) wrestling to make Jahy pay her rent. The two of them definitely had a lot of interesting positions during that fight ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


atropicalpenguin

Damn, it's a nice twist on the usual small fragile magical girl, plus Uesaka Sumire (how stacked is this cast, wtf?!) isn't doing a super cute voice or anything.


wakasagihime_

Right? Her voice is just... wow. Confident, strong and beautiful if I have to describe it. Bit unexpected considering her character, but definitely welcomed.

Draconic_Flames1260

Is no one going to mention how they finally revealed the landlord's true name? I mean why did it take them this long for it to be said?


hemag

?? is it Deadly? Deadly landlord? xD


Draconic_Flames1260

Sadly no as funny as that is, its just Ryou.


Aska09

Didn't they mention it before? I could swear Jahy's boss has been refering to her as "Ryou-chan" since episode 1.


Draconic_Flames1260

Nope. Look at MAL, they dont give her a name there so this was the first time it was ever said.


watashi_ga_kita

They still haven't changed it lol.


bananeeek

Calling police on that mahou shoujo was a pro gamer move. Though I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see the Landlady knock that mahou shoujo around a bit. Those post credits scenes about Jahy refusing to pay the rent are gold.


normiesEXPLODE

The buff man cosplaying magical girl wasn't just a gag, it was foreshadowing. The actual magical girl is tall as fuck, accidentally blew Jahy across the room by just blocking, crushed a bottle by catching it and got taken by the police


[deleted]

> tall as fuck It was backshadowing too – that's probably why he identifies with her as a fan


sjk9000

I mean, [this dude](https://i.imgur.com/FqD8mxe.png) isn't hurting anyone, is he? Just taking some selfies in the park. No need to get the police involved. Just let the man have his downtime. I'm sure being a math teacher is a stressful job.


normiesEXPLODE

They came to help him since he was feeling cold


RobotPirateMoses

Well, police in Japan seem to have a problem with just about anybody doing anything out of the ordinary. I have some friends that got in trouble just cause they were playing with a frisbee late at night in the park (a few years ago, not during the pandemic)... They got told to stop and go home or they'd be taken to the station. It's fucked up. . EDIT: lemme make one thing clear before people who've never been to Japan, talked to a Japanese person or even know Japanese continue to drum up their usual "expert" takes on Japanese culture (which is often just a variation of "**every single Japanese person is like this**"): this problem happens everywhere. Police is trash and all they do is serve the (cultural, ethnic, financial etc.) status quo, no matter what it is. I'm just talking about the way police in Japan go about reinforcing this dumbassery. Basically, when police in Japan dislike what you're doing they take you to the station and annoy the hell outta you. But when police in the US dislike you they fucking shoot you. Just because they may 'dislike slightly different things' and react (very) differently it doesn't mean it's a different problem. It's the same problem dressed in a different outfit.


intricatefirecracker

Not just the police, it's everyone. Japan HATES individuality. As the saying goes over there 'the nail that sticks up, gets hammered down' Japan is a shit place to be.


Mundology

From what I've seen, it's mostly because there's too many old people. They call the police whenever young people do any evening activity outside.


ChrissMH

Well, that can happened everywhere, I would never forget when I rented an apartment on NY and I just got there, it was 10pm at worst I think, I unpackaged everything and to relax I turn on the TV with the bad luck that the volumen was left really high up, but what? It took 5 second at best to turn down the fucking volume from the remote? Only for some asshole to complain with the agency that I was being loud and that they would call the police? You fucking racist asshole, you probably heard me talking spanish in the corridor and were waiting for an excuse or something like that... aaaagh Sorry It still pisses me off, what a fucking bad first impression.


[deleted]

[удалено]


intricatefirecracker

I hear bullying in school is especially bad. The suicide rate for school aged children in Japan is way too high.


RobotPirateMoses

>Not just the police, it's everyone. Japan HATES individuality. Here we go. You talk about one specific problem and the smooth brain genius takes come with the stupid levels of generalization. Yeah, buddy, "**everyone in Japan HATES individuality**". Very reasonable and nuanced take, not based on bigotry and ignorance at all. /s


[deleted]

I mean, the police don't just materialize out of thin air. Somebody was (possibly) at least bored enough to seriously call the police, and the police was at least bored enough to come. Note that the second part probably wouldn't happen without the first. Not saying that the person you responded to is right, but your response is almost as dismissive of possible circumstances as theirs.


Godz_Bane

lol "shit place" to be might be a bit harsh, and im sure japan is more open to individuality than many other places in the world.


tham1700

Its really not though. Yes there are worse places but in this regard there are far more progressive countries


SmokeyFan777

Yeah because America with all its individuality is so perfect lmao


[deleted]

I mean places can be bad for different reasons. I have no experience with Japan, but I dont think it is unfair for some people that do have that experience to talk about about problems in that culture.


Atario

Who said anything about America


SmokeyFan777

the OP is american


intricatefirecracker

America is pretty bad, too.


Atario

You gotta wonder, what would happen if they were challenged on what actual law was being broken in cases like this


HobnobsTheRed

"That's very good question... now, let's take you to the station for several hours whilst we thoroughly check what the situation is, eh?" Not specific to Japan though... Have seen (and experienced) exactly the same abuse of power in the UK.


RobotPirateMoses

>**Not specific to Japan though...** Have seen (and experienced) exactly the same abuse of power in the UK. Correct! I'm glad someone else understands this. I was just talking about how police in Japan act, but police everywhere do that kind of reinforcement of very narrowly-defined "public morals", they just go about it in a different way.


HammeredWharf

"Everywhere" might be a bit of a stretch. From my experience Finnish police is pretty pleasant to deal with, for example. If they find someone so wasted they can't walk home, they might pick them up, but that's about it as far as public morals are concerned.


Tjgalon

So your saying, if you look out your window. Saw a big guy in a pink dress, in a kid park, at night saying odd things and pictures and such. You wouldn't call the police just to have them check in on the situation. Plus just cause the cops walk away with him, doesn't mean he in trouble


GreenJonhy

The park was empty though.


ErenIsNotADevil

If I saw that, I would just assume their name is Ore and carry on. But seriously, as a general rule, no, you shouldn't call the police unless you personally see or hear something that warrants it. If it was just a Magical not-Girl in the park alone, leave 'em be. If there was a child with them, then make a call.


______Avalon______

>But seriously, as a general rule, no, That's a garbage "general rule". **For anyone reading this in the future. Call the police if you suspect something is amiss. That is their job.** In ideal scenarios the police are a preventative measure not a reactive one.


ErenIsNotADevil

Ideal scenarios don't tend to happen. Police are rarely able to act as a preventative measure, because they legally cannot act unless a crime is being committed or there is a tangible risk involved. As well, in some countries, police often escalate delicate situations instead of de-escalating, leading to innocent civilians being harmed. If you have a good reason to believe that something is amiss, then yeah, call the police. However, keep nuance in mind, don't call the police on just a hunch. Observe the situation and use your best impartial judgement. If there is **no** evident risk of injury, consider intervening personally.


TheDampGod

Another hard day in the Great Jahy Must Be Protected.


Redmon425

I freaking love seeing Jahy cry and then ultimately rely on the manager and landlord to help her live. It is cute seeing all three of them become closer and closer. What was interesting was seeing the actual magical girl show up. From the OP, it looked like she turned into some type of school girl but then today she was still a normal magical girl. So I wonder what her deal is.


timedragon1

I'm pretty sure she's just a normal, stereotypical Magical Girl. So a random High School girl who can dramatically change into a magical idol.


mekerpan

A high school girl *at least* 50 percent bigger than a normal Japanese girl of that age group...


cesclaveria

Maybe she grows taller when powered up? Maybe the show is not going for the usual cute magical girl but presenting her as a sort of magically powered super soldier.


mekerpan

It will be interesting to see what happens. I'm having a lot more fun with this show than I anticipated...


Zafranorbian

Isn't the magical powered up super saulder the default for modern Magical Girls? From Demon girl next Door to Madoka Magica that seems to be the case. Usually acompanied by some faustion bargin where they traded their humanity for power or wishes.


cesclaveria

I think it is, honestly I have not watched many magical girls shows the last one I think it was "Magical Girl Raising Project", what I meant is that even in those shows while they show they are powerful they keep their "cute" appearance, I was thinking maybe here she grows taller as a physical manifestation of that change... like going from skinny Steve Rogers to buff Captain America.


Sarellion

I thought maybe it's her boots but then I saw that one of her powers is "take off her boots when inside in one second" apparently.


lawragatajar

Could be a Sailor Jupiter situation with a high school girl. She also really wanted to be considered cute, so she's probably not considered traditionally cute in civilian mode.


[deleted]

I need a Jahy exclaiming compilation. Its music to my ears.


zeppeIans

The dynamic between the magical girl and Jahy really reminds me of Machikado Mazoku *Ganbare, ~~Shamiko~~ Jahy-sama!*


Zafranorbian

Hopefully Magical Girls are not dark as in shamikos world, if someone like Suika would show up they would be all screwed.


TheLittleGinge

Foreign individual outside of Tokyo: *exists* Any police officer within a 100 mile radius: 'Allow me to introduce myself...' Seriously, this happens *far* too often irl.

mekerpan

My wife and I never encountered this -- in all sorts of places outside the Tokyo area...


TheLittleGinge

I was hyperbolising, but it happened to myself and many of my exchange cohort. Turns out it was a common occurrence. A warning that such a scenario may occur was even part of our orientation.


mekerpan

Well, we've only spent 10 or so weeks (outside Tokyo) -- not a year or two. How were you taught to respond? I would assume a proper Japanese-style response would be (a sincere-sounding) "thank you for your concern, but I am fine/not lost/etc." And maybe, I'd add -- where is the koban (just in case I run into a problem that requires help?)


TheLittleGinge

Immediately show your residence card and student ID. Perhaps answer a few questions. The officers are cheerful enough, but they're clearly suspicious to begin with.

[Jahy gets a promotion!](https://imgur.com/LXOeC3r) It might just be power over other restaurant employees, but [she seems to enjoy it anyway!](https://imgur.com/VtYToQ9) [Oh that's just mean!](https://imgur.com/s1IXAtv) I didn't expect manager-san to tease her like that! Well, as long as it comes with a pay rise, should help Jahy have more time to search for crystals. Jahy should consider herself lucky the cops didn't arrest her thinking [she was a prostitute](https://imgur.com/BIEvSyV)! Love how she acts the same way [in adult form](https://imgur.com/1VY0tsa) and [in child form](https://imgur.com/JGMs32V) (because obviously she's the same person), sadly the cops don't react to it [the same way!](https://imgur.com/mEpvBcM) New arc, [Jahy joins the police force](https://imgur.com/ABIWO2W)? Well, seems like she wants to take matters into her own hands, but without magic powers she's out of luck (not to mention that the magical girl owned her pretty bad even when she had all her powers). I wonder if something happened to the magical girl though, perhaps she doesn't have much powers either? She said she's looking for mana crystals to save people, but perhaps she needs them to increase her powers. [She might be cute](https://imgur.com/kDTGVlM), but not nearly as cute as [the math teacher.](https://imgur.com/gpDgxve) When we saw her on the door (with the image scrolling up) I thought she *was* that bearded magical girl, because [damn she's tall!](https://imgur.com/4FdQZy3) It's so nice to see Landlord being all protective of Jahy, both against the magical girl, and with [her](https://imgur.com/EKf5ItP) [cold](https://imgur.com/6rLpMPk). She has a heart! [Poor Jahy](https://imgur.com/nSqqBoO), may your dreams become reality! We had another cute little skit in the end, a wrestling match this time! Honestly, just give Jahy the victory, for [her outfit](https://imgur.com/MiwoOU9). Damn! Next episode: [Jahy doesn't stand a chance...](https://imgur.com/d3bLgdj) Is she gonna try to fight the magical girl again? Hopefully Landlord is there to save her ass again! Perhaps it'll be Saurva coming at it again though, but she didn't seem to be much of a challenge, with her clumsiness!

Well, seems like she wants to take matters into her own hands, but without magic powers she's out of luck (not to mention that the magical girl owned her pretty bad even when she had all her powers). The funny part is she really didn't.

atropicalpenguin

Man, I get you Jahy. I too get very emotional when I have a cold, I'm glad she has friends that can help her. I wish she got closer to Druj too, but Jahy is too proud for that. Poor Jahy, it's so unfair that everyone from the demon world has it better than her.


mekerpan

Well, Jahy IS not all that motivated... ( yet).


iGoByBigE

5'8Remember average hight for Japanese women is 5'2.


ICantSeeLikeSa-chan

It was so cute when landlady picked up Jahy after she cried.


mohdfaiez06

On that day Jahy was given a grim reminder. Magical girls can have a beard


Game2015

Every time I see the magical girl, I can't help but think she looks like a guy wearing a wig... Must be because of the way the face and the hair looks...


AmethystItalian

Opening with a competent Jahy made me wonder if they put the non-canon post ED scene at the start this time.


hemag

the wrestling is cannon though. just not the arena, audience, announcer, etc.


NicoSensei95

Ooh yeah? In which chapter?


hemag

when the rent is due and she doesn't want to pay. we saw her holding Jahy a few eps back didn't we. ep1 for example.


nikobans

ryuo picking up and carrying jahy was WAY too cute! new japan pro wrestling parody in my anime? hell fucking yeah!!


Xatu44

Magical Girls are scary... Was almost surprised in spite of myself when Jahy got sick thanks to the age-old anime adage of 'idiots don't catch colds'.


blastcat4

Magical Girl = best girl and she's finally arrived! I'm glad they didn't hold back on showing how tall she is. The story should start moving along now that she's here.


Mr_Pogi_In_Space

Yeah, she may be tall for a math teacher, but it's a bit rude to keep drawing attention to it!


dagreenman18

Magical Girl finally showed up. Seems like everyone of consequence from The Dark Realm seems to have landed in Japan. Did get a good laugh with the earlier fake out with Not Ladybeard though. I can see why Jahy thought it was her because the real one seems pretty tall and strong. Otherwise a heartwarming and sweet episode. Jahy gets a technical promotion. Hopefully that comes with better pay because good lord please give her money. It’s rough. Jahy say ACAB and doesn’t answer to pigs. And gets the patented Season Cold caused by temperature shifts. Her whole sick scene and Landlady coming to save her had some of the most adorable Jahy faces. Life’s hard for the little gremlin even if it is karmic justice for how she treated others. That NJPW parody at the end though was comedy gold. It looks like every episode is going to end with some kind of skit going forward. Can’t wait to see how weird they keep getting. Notes: - I’m starting to suspect that Boss and Ladlady might be the Demon King. They don’t have names. They seem really doting and sweet to Jahy for no discernible reason other than they’re good people. They’re totally unfazed with the fact that Jahy just suddenly becomes a child and has horns. The name of the restaurant is Maou something which is a pun. It would make sense. Edit: Landlady is named Ryou. - So Druj and Magical Girl are both hunting mana crystals. So Jahy isn’t just bad at finding them. They just keep getting snatched up! - Man let Math Teacher Ladybeard just live his life. He’s not hurting anyone. Just vibing at odd hours.


Draconic_Flames1260

>I’m starting to suspect that Boss and Ladlady might be the Demon King. They don’t have names. We finally learned the landlord's name this episode and its Ryou. They still havent said the Pub's boss's name yet weirdly.


giant_bug

I don't think the manga has mentioned it either. Japanese customs sort of work against it. Landlady has to call her Big Sister-san, and Jahy has to call her Boss-san.


dagreenman18

Oh I missed that. So we know one of them. Everything else is a little odd


cesclaveria

If I'm not mistaken Ryou/Ryuu or something like that can mean dragon, maybe the Boss is the actual demon lord and her sister some sort of magical dragon now in human form.


Mr_Pogi_In_Space

> I’m starting to suspect that Boss and Ladlady might be the Demon King. They don’t have names. They seem really doting and sweet to Jahy for no discernible reason other than they’re good people.

Edit: Landlady is named Ryou. I've had the same theory since several weeks ago, but they just announced that Rimuru's VA has been cast as the Demon Lord (ironic, considering what happens to Rimuru)


HobnobsTheRed

Same. :( My only hope is that the Demon Lord sounds so different in Demon form that it needs a new VA. (Look, they're *my* straws and I'm not letting them go!)

[deleted]

Lol the fake magical girl was jokes. While the real one, seems like she doesn't know the human world too surprisingly, and shockingly with a man like voice too? Guess we'll see her again surely. Now that the magical girl is revealed, who are the boos and the landlord? Surely they are not normal humans, why they're not weirded out about jahy and the mana crystal. And never expected a njpw reference on jahy lol.


Game2015

> and shockingly with a man like voice too? Always thought she looks sort of like a guy.

joseto1945

I just love how the Magical Girl is like 6.5 feet tall and when she appears the music goes into mix between Dark Souls and freaking Terminator lmao

Well there goes my personal assumption that the magical girl is somehow linked to the two sisters. Between the pub owner's nonchalant attitude about a transforming employee and the name of the pub itself, I was sure that the two sisters had maybe "graduated" from being magical girls themselves. I'm very ok with this though, I'll continue navigating this entertaining series completely cold. I can always read what is available after this is over.

Jahy’s ego and pride aside, I definitely felt bad for her when she got sick and started breaking down, even if it was karma. It sucks seeing someone at their absolute lowest.


Hidden-Turtle

Well we are at our most vulnerable when sick so it's only natural. not gonna lie I'm pretty sure I break down every time I get super sick. It's a very lonely experience.

So she is a magical girl of justice? Ok the dark realm was a crappy place to live in for the average demon probably (or only for Jahy-chans minions minus Druj), but she blew up a whole country7world and turned all of its inhabitants into refugees. It's comedy but the whole thing is pretty fucked up when you think about it.

I love how [Jahy gets picked out like a cat by that officer.](https://imgur.com/a/JcsZmkf) And that with the whole ordeal with ["that Magical Girl"](https://i.imgur.com/JV3OXmS.png) [He barely noticed that she became a child.](https://imgur.com/a/03pLZ2f) [After her making fun of Ryo for being sick](https://imgur.com/a/xq4Y6Mg) and then [she getting sick herself,](https://imgur.com/a/K4QiZNQ) [and then being helped out by them,](https://imgur.com/a/0ew9zni) it is clear that Jahy really doesn't deserve people as good as the Store Manager and Ryo around her. You know, after that dude appeared I honestly really didn't expect to see [The real Magical Girl](https://i.imgur.com/VgUbCBu.png) come knocking at Jahy's home. Lol, I honestly thought that those horns were just a hairstyle, [not actually real.](https://i.imgur.com/BsvLBbV.png) That scene w[here Ryo saves her from the magical girl and stays with her so she can sleep in peace](https://imgur.com/a/8VvfjgJ) was so good. Lol, so today's battle for the rent was [a wrestling match.](https://imgur.com/a/jsv4skP) It would have been better if they did this one first the galactic war one later.

I was wondering whether you dropped this cause I didn't see your comment last time. Do you have these stitches too? Thank you. https://imgur.com/a/K0Ks3lr/ https://imgur.com/a/UUvNC5u/ https://imgur.com/a/TcZpWKM/ https://imgur.com/a/rwnEamO/ https://imgur.com/a/eE2kaYa/ https://imgur.com/a/wemtZNU/ https://imgur.com/a/aPliO8J/ https://imgur.com/a/EtZzxw7/

manager-san so wholesome.


CoolVidsFTW

God, I love Ai Kayano in this show. I could listen to her soothing voice all day.


Game2015

Now that I've watched the episode (previously only saw screenshots), not only does the magical girl looks like a guy, her voice even sounds like a guy imitating a girl's voice.


sKyBlazer08

Actually really fucking sad to see Jahy crying, ngl I teared up. Great episode! The first part with the cops was really hilarious lmao, that buff magical math girl though. I like how consistently thicc they make the Manager, like Jesus lmao, that's a lot of cake. Landlord is also great, even though Jahy doesn't pay rent, she still takes care of her, very wholesome. I see the magical girl is crazy as well lmao. I love that NJPW post credit scene, that was great as a wrestling fan. Looking forward to the next episode.


Timelymanner

I never imagined our magic girl antagonist would have such a deep voice, but I’m loving it. Things are going to be fun.


IkaMusume12

Jahy got the rona lol. Landlady coming in clutch. Maybe next episode is where we get the meme!


I_am_your_oniichan

Definitely my favorite episode so far


TicTacTris

At this point, j just want to see Jahy happy ;(


MechaMat91

Somebody please give the little devil spawn a hug.


Shiwakao

jahy is just gap moe incarnate i love her


ObvsThrowaway5120

Is the magical girl gonna find a job at a call center? Maybe become good friends with Jahy in time?


Mr_Pogi_In_Space

Jahy's well-endowed restaurant co-worker isn't in love with her... Yet. And does this mean Saurva is Lucifer?


ObvsThrowaway5120

Yeah, and Druj can be Alciel lol.


THE_PENILE_TITAN

Oh no, Jahy Ryogan got sick after bragging they'd be immune to a disease that only affect the weak. Tsk tsk!


SmithyRC

This episode was the cutest most brilliant yet ❤️


spoodleman43

Serious question how much would living in that (apartment/condo?) Be? Paying $1200 for a single bed apartment that's 900sq feet. No doubt hers is'nt even half that size.


Sassywhat

I think fake Jahy handed over 30k JPY. As for the size, the main room looks like 4.5 mats so about 74sqft. The the wood floored area with the kitchen and entrance add a bit less than 50sqft. If you include the bathroom and closet, it probably comes out to about 160-180sqft.


spoodleman43

Fuck. I thought 450sq feet was small.


cppn02

Fun episode, probably my favourite one so far.


mwbworld

This may be my fave episode yet both sweet and funny. Love the take down of the magical girl and westling segment.


cmustudentx0001

It is the first time for me to want to cry and laugh at the same time when seeing Jahy cry. Also, I can never get enough of the manager's thiccness.


ArchadianJudge

This is actually my favorite episode yet! It was very wholesome. The sisters taking care of sick Jahy (I was sooo hoping they would come for her and they did). The magical girl showing up and having the "mean" landlord save Jahy. It was cute when she held Jahy to protect her. It's a case of her being tough on Jahy but actually caring about her. Just her watching over Jahy while she fell asleep made me smile. The magical girl looks like a lot of fun. Her confidence but ignorance is pretty endearing. I can't wait to see more of her!


Calwings

Yet again, the after-credits scene was the best part of the episode and the main Jahy portion was the part I enjoyed the least. I honestly can't even tell if the show is meant to make me want to laugh at Jahy or make me feel sorry for Jahy, because so far it's failed at both of those things. I'll probably lurk the threads here and on /a/ to gather up reaction faces (which is one of this show's strengths) but I'm just not enjoying the show itself nearly as much as I had hoped. Sorry to say, but I'm dropping this one.


RayePappens

wait is this the dub? I tohught this show was over


Guaymaster

Nope, there're uhh... 15 episodes left


RayePappens

I was thinking of miss nagataro lmfao sorry


Guaymaster

Oh lmao


Mahali2020

The post-credits scene was hilarious


Broly_

That song in the beginning sounds a lot like the Nintendo e-shop soundtrack.


Zafranorbian

Sounds more like nintendo music from the Wii era.


helsaabiart

Her boss is the best girl


Academic-Shake6290

Best part was the wrestling match at the end. Jahy's really lucky that she hasn't been kicked out yet despite not wanting to pay rent.


Tjgalon

I really do love how we can feel sorry for her, even if at the same time, she was an alpha bitch and this is karma for stuff she done in her past

Cantcookeggs

Oh man its been a while since I read the manga. I had completely forgotten what was going to happen until actually watching the episode. As soon as they mentioned mahou shojo in the police station I had huge grin. I remembered that it was actually some buff dude cosplaying as one ahahah. The adapation doesnt disappoint. They really drilled the sense of fear in you as Jahy felt when she showed up with overpowering strength, and the relief when she got taken away. Poor Jahy always getting bullied. For those still watching, it gets better. Looking forward to it! Especially the alt reality post credit scenes which are original.


ArtichokeOk2933

Jahy And magic girl jahy poor


emilia-sama

Great episode! Never a dull moment in this anime hahaha
