Due to the presence of a certain voice actor, I'm honestly inclined to see this all the way through but this wouldn't be the first time I've given up on a show even with her in it. I'll give it a few more episodes. Hopefully it'll improve by then...
Huh. Strange considering that I saw this as a more normal friendship then most of the bullying that Sena endures. Season 1 was pretty brutal at times. This came across more as three girlfriends getting together to do something a little crazy and silly like a ridiculous hairdo. The most gullible one is of course talked into doing it, and then the other two got a little carried away, but apologized afterwards.

I mean, when brushing her hair they were actually being nice to each other. Sena's comment about wanting to laugh it off together was revealing.

As for the negative traits, Sena has always been shown as that type of extreme person, did you forget the way she treats boys other then Kodoka?
