Oh ho? This is a surprise. Did not expect it would get an adaptation...though I could see it being okay as a short series.

I didn't realize this manga had that much exposure. Himouto understandable, but this I didn't see coming.

[frubam]

Haven't read this series, but I'll be looking forward to it, since I liked Danna =03. Hopefully, we'll have a Metsuko ni Yoroshiku anime short series someday. That one's my favorite =03.

[Myssa Rei]

Argh, and I just started following the scans of this one too. More incentive for me to catch up on the translated chapters then.

Episode 1:

Looks like another short for the Fall season.
It must be hard and busy being Komori considering she gets requests literally all the time. Lol @ the mask.

Ep 01

Very faithful to the manga, but still two minutes is way too short for me. Argh.

Oh well. Will follow it at least. :)

[SamCurt]

Music Production: bilibili


How can a Chinese clone of NND be doing music production? I don't know if they have their in-house production team...

[James Rye]

I think it's not the face or height which makes people recognize Komori-chan. Girl's "huge" for her age, that's for sure. xD

[Elestia]

Damn, 2 minute shorts is way too little time to even get comfortable.

I wonder if they're going to adapt Kobayashi Maid Dragon in the future. Here's hoping.

[SamCurt]

Girl's "huge" for her age, that's for sure. xD
She's officially 180cm (6') tall. Which mean, height-wise, she's a female version of Nozaki-kun--it's nearly impossible to find a person that tall at any age in Japan.

[Shlugo]

She's officially 180cm (6') tall. Which mean, height-wise, she's a female version of Nozaki-kun--it's nearly impossible to find a person that tall at any age in Japan.

I think he meant her boobs. :heh:

[SamCurt]

I think he meant her boobs. :heh:

Her boobs would probably apply, but not those excessively large ones though.:D

[frubam]

It was okay; maybe because there wasn't any witty scenarios or jokes like there was in Danna. With it being only 2 mins, I'll keep up with it for now. Does anyone know if that black-haired short girl is the one from RaButa? I know the author likes to mix-and-match some of his chars in his series.

[Kuroageha]

Great, I heard that this series from cool-kyou shinja usually have a romantic partner, I wonder if he will appear here in the anime.

[chaos_animagic]

WoW, the Young Age Big Girl discussion is here too. lol


I said in another place "I like small cute girls instead of tall girls" and ppls went crazy on me. ;P


anyways... yea, she's probably the tallest person in Japan (race) if that height is correct.

Also, she's pretty much everyone's gofer right now, since she's practically doing anything and everything she's asked to do.

[HandofFate]

her boobs are out of control

[chaos_animagic]

her boobs are out of control

LOL, speaking of which...

When I first go to watch ep 1.

This was what I first saw even before I click PLAY

[NinjaRealist]

The main thing that turned me off of this were the over-the-top boob sound effects. Otherwise it was kind of funny but way too much of the show was focused on breasts fanservice.

[Seihai]

Episode two... I still feel that this series is too short. Maybe they could have stretched the content out for like 1 more minute per episode, because once again it felt like the episode just ended in the middle of nowhere.

Anyway, Komori sure has it hard. How does she even arrive at school in time when she is barely able to move away from her house area?:heh: Then just as my eyes were naturally drawn to her fuel tanks, they actually focused on how she maintains them. Seriously, guys, I know lactose intolerance is a real issue but you guys just don't want to drink milk, do you?:heh: Lastly, the sudden realization that her two friends are more boyish than Komori in a way. That's gotta hurt. As mentioned earlier this part ended rather sudden so it didn't even give me time to react, but oh well.

[Flower]

Ep 02

Agreed. The eps are too short for my liking. I suppose I should be thankful the Komori-chan manga gets some kind of adaptation at all, but...ah well.

For those interested the source manga of the series is very similar, though I would say a little more effective comedy wise, and worth the read if you like what you see in these anime shorts.

[Alhazred]

Hmm... with the way they're cherry-picking chapters from the manga to adapt, it probably won't be too long before they run out of chapters that specifically focus on Shuri's boobs. Hopefully at that point they will start trying to put in more of the comedy rather than creating filler with more fanservice -_-;...

[Seihai]

Hah, that first scene in ep 3 is priceless. "I wanna be more popular!" "I like you. Please go out with me!" I gotta admit that''d actually be effective... maybe.:heh: Interestingly enough, Komori-san does refuse to help when the request is unreasonable and not righteous at all. In this case, though, I consider her refusal to help as the indirect way to help her friends by telling them to get their act together and not forfeit their own duties (sleep, homework, etc.). What's more, apparently Komori-san is not purely being taken advantage of, she is genuinely loved by people who she helped out before which is a beautiful sight to behold in my opinion. Girl, you have too many friends!

Of course the episode cannot end without making the audience notice her fuel tanks being strafed by her umbrella, heh. I don't mind...:p:naughty:

[BladeMancer]

Whenever I see Konmori I always yell damn, because those breasts are too big

[Flower]

Ep 03

A pity...kinda wish the series could get a more involved adaptation like other 4koma comedy based mangas. Would like to see the humor carried off in a more "leisurely" manner and interspersed with simple daily interactions. Hmm. Maybe more time could be given in potential second seasons? I like the characters and such, but even the 4koma source feels like there is more effort put in building the setting and the characters than the rapid fire joke manner of presentation here. Ah well.

[Seihai]

Episode 4 is so sweet it made me feel a bit uncomfortable.:heh: I honestly expected the girls to get angry at her for not being useful to them during that volleyball match. Instead they went out of their way to find her and thank her because of that one last point she scored. The kindness is too strong! And the revelation (read:realization) at the end that she can't do everything but tries her hardest at everything is a very nice moral of the story.

[SamCurt]

Episode 4 is a definitive improvement in my opinion. It proved my hunch that Komori's abilities seem to be developed from this...

I love Komori-san er I mean I love this series :heh: She's got to be the nicest girl this season. BRB ya'll going to ask a favor :D *mangatron gets thrown in jail*

[Flower]

Ep 5

Had forgotten that Komori-san is ticklish like that. XD

Decent episode, but still ... waayyyy too short for my taste.

[Infinite Zenith]

I think I'll wait for the episodes to finish airing, then watch them all at once :heh:

[Random Wanderer]

I was recently reminded that this existed and came to watch it.

...Good gracious, this is even worse than Aiura. If they're only going to give us a minute of new material for each episode, they should release episodes more often.

REPLACE EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK WITH A NEW KOMORI EPISODE! :D All of them. 24 hours a day. Throughout the entire season. :p

[Seihai]

This week's episode felt really good. The pacing was excellent and it didn't feel like they randomly ended it in the middle of something. It seems like the small amount of content they have is slowly growing to become something more substantial by working on the relationships between the characters. I really like the addition of... I forgot his name. lol But anyway, the chemistry betwen him and Komori is very sweet! They even replaced the kitten in the OP (or is it an ED?) with the guy to show that he joins the cast as a regular.

:heh::heh:

[nojay]

Chapter 7 and romance blossoms... Ganbatte, Perv-, uh Shrimp-kun! I notice he's now making an appearance in the ED, replacing the homeless kitten.

BTW if anyone else likes the idea of Tall Girls you might want to check out the manga Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki, a series which is overdue for an anime in my opinion.

[James Rye]

Lol, Komori couldn't decline the plea of her heart to fall in love. xD
So adorable. <3

definitely the face of a "P"

Episode 8, the beach trip.

I went through and read the translated chapters of the 4koma now, and Megumi's encounter with the guy hitting on her felt like a real eye-opening moment. From what had been seen of her so far, you'd rather expect her to react the way Komori had expected, but instead she was terrified to the point of tears, and she clung to Komori for the rest of the trip. It was a surprise, and a view into a side of her character that we've never seen before.

Downside of this adaptation is that they seem to have removed Komori's younger sister. She went along on the beach trip.

Still a cute and adorable series that I wish was longer.

[Dawnstorm]

Still a cute and adorable series that I wish was longer.

I think the 5-minute format really does this show a disservice; it's one of those shows that needs time to weave its mood, I think. What we have is pretty good, but I can't help feeling there's the potential for an even better show, and all it would take is more time to work its magic. Pure speculation, though.

Latest episode was one of my favourites. :D

[Random Wanderer]

Fuwa fuwa. Komori is just so adorable, I want to hug her.

Was this the last episode? It felt kind of last episode-ish. Of course, with all the episodes put together the entire series is barely as long as a single full-length episode...

[Flower]

I think that was indeed the finale.

Not bad for a short. Of course my only complaint is that it was TOO short. :heh:

Heck, Id be fine with a short of 5-8 minutes!

[Stark700]

Cute show overall. I want to protect Komori's smile!
