This episode was just too hilarious. Sometimes I feel secondhand embarrassment because of how ridiculous everything gets, but that's exactly what makes it so funny. 😂 I loved this episode. Mechako and the male protagonist's chemistry was chaotic in the best way possible.

Probably the most unhinged cursed objects have appeared in this episode. 😭 I loved it, though. Another ridiculously fun episode that genuinely made me laugh out loud.

I'm really loving Shurako as that villain who constantly fails and somehow makes the show even funnier. 😆 This series is so unhinged, and I'm absolutely here for it. It has been consistently entertaining.

Episode Context

Episode 5 pulls the action out of school and into a more confined, domestic setting, built around a sick-day atmosphere that gives the comedy a slower, wobblier energy. Shurako takes center stage here, and her increasingly childlike behavior keeps the tone playful but just slightly off-balance. The cursed doll remains a source of low-key unease while the protagonist, worn down and bedridden, filters the absurdity through an exhausted lens. Once things get moving again, the episode shifts into a loose parade of strange spirit encounters, leaning into the show's tendency for quick tonal pivots and deliberately anticlimactic punchlines. Expect character-driven bickering, creepy imagery that undercuts itself, and a compact gag structure rather than any sustained horror. This one rewards fans who enjoy the cast dynamics as much as the supernatural premise.
