EPISODE REVIEWS

Mmm,still good

It's the exam season! This episode mirroring how real students act, with different study methods or say no to study. A great development of Kaguya & Ishigami's relationship, showing how Kaguya can be a caring senpai too beside her scary vibe toward Ishigami.

Episode Context

Sitting at the two-thirds mark of a twelve-episode season, Episode 8 shifts the student council dynamic by introducing academic pressure as a new catalyst for both comedy and character development. Previous episodes established the core mind games and ensemble chemistry; this one deepens individual stakes, particularly for Ishigami, whose arc begins gaining real momentum here. It effectively bridges the mid-season comedic peaks with the more emotionally charged territory the final stretch will explore.
