Amanchu! ‒ Episode 9 Review (ANN)

This week's Amanchu! actually feels like the natural end of Futaba's character arc, though I highly doubt this is actually the case. Ever since the series premiere, Teko's struggle with social anxiety and waning self-confidence has been the show's most consistent point of focus, and even though the Futaba-centric stories are starting to feel a touch repetitive, the character remains as fascinating as ever. Episode 9 changes things up by giving us a glimpse into Futaba's immediate past—something that's barely been touched upon until this point.
