After all, Tsuda Takatoshi, as a comedian, has no flaws to speak of.

Suzu Ogimura is too short, and she hates being looked down upon for this, but the anime keeps bringing up her painful past.

Of course, this is not a bad point, and there is a lot of room for negotiation.

The biggest problem lies with Amakusa Shino and Shichijo Tenka, but these two are usually easygoing (and quite thick-skinned), so the chances of them agreeing and disagreeing are about 50/50.

Ultimately, however, out of a sense of prudence, Masamune opted for the method of concealing the truth during negotiations.

Chapter 59: K-On! and the first episode of Oregairu aired simultaneously.

Sunday, August 5th.

At 7:28 p.m., the five members of K-ON! were sitting in Hirasawa's living room, excitedly watching TV.

According to previous TV announcements, the anime "K-On!" will be broadcast at 7:30 pm today, followed by "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" half an hour later.

Compared to the latter, the five people were naturally more concerned about K-On.

"Sister, hasn't it started yet?"

Hirasawa Yu placed the snacks on the table and sat down next to Hirasawa Yui.

"Two minutes to go, it will start promptly at 7:30."

As he spoke, Hirasawa Yui chuckled for a while, then remarked with a sigh:

"This feeling is really strange, like waiting for the movie I'm in to be released."

“I understand how you feel.” Ritsu Tainaka nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, “Because I feel the same way, and I’m sure Mio and the others feel the same way too.”

The next moment, the advertisement ended, and the screen showed the room of Yui Hirasawa in an anime style, along with a photo of her when she graduated from junior high school.

"Ah...!! I've made my appearance."

"Shh... just relax and watch the anime." Akiyama Mio put her finger to her lips and gently shushed her.

On the screen, Hirasawa Yui, who was late for getting up, hurriedly dressed and slipped as she passed through the living room, falling to the ground.

After getting up, he slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, a piece of bread in his mouth, and hurriedly left home.

This scene made the person involved involuntarily cover their face with their hands, too shy to look.

Even though he was already late, he fed cats and helped elderly people on the way, which made others laugh, but also made them sigh, "No wonder he's Yui."

As the familiar opening theme played, the group couldn't help but reminisce about the past two and a half years.

The opening sequence ends, and the main story officially begins.

Because of Akiyama Mio and Tainaka Ritsu's small theater performance, Kotobuki Tsumugi, who originally wanted to join the chorus club, joined the light music club instead.

After some twists and turns, tempted by the black tea cake, Hirasawa Yui, whose personality makes it difficult to refuse others, joins the group.

The first episode of the anime is primarily told from Yui Hirasawa's perspective, showcasing her personality to the fullest extent, which can basically be described as adorable and innocent.

As the ending theme played, the first episode came to a close.

"Wow, that's amazing! The animation is amazing!! I thought it was amazing when they were doing the voice acting, but the finished product is even more amazing than I imagined."

Although she really wanted to complain about Ritsu Tainaka's long string of impressive statements, Mio Akiyama actually felt the same way.

This animation is completely different from the cute animations currently on the market.

Although it may seem cute after watching, there are no scenes of fanservice or deliberate attempts to be cute.

This natural ease and the distinct, brisk rhythm make you want to watch it several more times after you've finished watching it.

The opening and ending themes were broadcast on television, and both songs were the theme songs for the "After School Tea Party," which inexplicably touched the group.

"With such an outstanding animation, I suddenly feel like we're almost a professional band," Akiyama Mio exclaimed with deep emotion.

"Hehe... We can go to the Budokan now!" Hirasawa Yui couldn't help but hug Nakano Azusa, rubbing against her as she said, "Azusa-nyan appeared quite late, only in episode 9. I feel so nostalgic."

“Senior Yui, although I joined the Light Music Club in episode 9, I actually appeared in episode 8,” Nakano Azusa said involuntarily.

"Then we'll have to wait two more months."

Seeing that the first episode of the anime on TV had finished airing and commercials were starting, Hirasawa Yui watched it again and again with great reluctance.

"I'd like to watch it a few more times. I wonder when the Blu-ray will be delivered?"

"I'll call and ask."

Kotobuki Tsumugi took out her phone and dialed Masamune's number.

The next moment, a noisy commotion came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you busy, President Hayase?"

"No, we're having a celebration party, and there are a lot of noisy people. What's wrong, Kotobuki?"

"Um...we all really enjoyed watching the first episode of K-On! and would like to watch it again. When will the Blu-ray be delivered?"

"I'll send someone to deliver the Blu-ray of the first episode to you tomorrow. Is it alright to have it delivered to the school?"

"No problem, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome. The successful production of K-On! is also thanks to the cooperation of the five of you. Let's have a celebration party after all twelve episodes have aired."

"Thanks......"

"No need to be polite. How many Blu-rays do you want? Including the ones for your friends, three copies each, is that alright?"

"Of course, thank you, Mr. President."

Ending the call, looking at the expectant crowd, Kotobuki Tsumugi smiled and said:

"President Hayase said that he will send someone to deliver the Blu-rays to the school tomorrow afternoon, three copies to each person."

"great!"

Everyone cheered.

At this moment, the commercials ended, and the first episode of "My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU" began playing on TV, and everyone's attention returned to the screen.

Although it's a story unrelated to myself, judging from the excellent quality of K-On!, Oregairu should also be a very interesting anime.

......

On the other side, the Hikigaya family.

"K-On! was really fun. It's completely different from other anime on the market, but it's very captivating. The friendship between girls is so touching. It makes me want to join the club."

Hikigaya Komachi sat cross-legged on the sofa, excitedly grabbing her brother's hand.

"Hmm, it's really interesting. I wonder what Oregairu is like?"

The next moment, Hachiman Hikigaya's monologue rang in the ears of the brother and sister.

Although the voice actor's voice is not the same as Hachiman Hikigaya's, it gives the impression that it is Hachiman Hikigaya speaking.

So-called youth is a lie, it's sin.

Those who praise youth are constantly deceiving themselves.

...

...

[The conclusion is: May all the popular people in real life explode!]

Komachi couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although her voice was slightly different from her brother's, it was exactly the kind of thing her brother would say.

"Brother, are you sure the stories in the animations are all fake?"

“That’s right, it’s fake.” Hachiman Hikigaya paused, then couldn’t help but add, “Although it’s fake, that’s what I really think, and I don’t deny that.”

"My brother's personality is so strange. We grew up in the same family, so why did you become like this?"

"Because Komachi is so cute, she naturally can't understand my feelings."

Even if your brother praises Komachi, she won't stop laughing at you later.

After the opening sequence ends, under pressure from Shizuka Hiratsuka, Hachiman Hikigaya is forced to join a club called the Service Club.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Hikigaya originally planned to intimidate her into leaving the club, but when he saw Yukino Yukinoshita's expressionless and delicate face, he was instead frightened, which led to a sarcastic conversation between them.

"Brother, you're so useless! You couldn't even win an argument with that woman. Could it be that you were too embarrassed to be sarcastic because she's pretty?"

"I'm just... not very good at dealing with those kinds of women. Back to watching anime..."

On the screen, at Hiratsuka Shizuka's urging, Hikigaya Hachiman joins the Service Club.

Subsequently, the first client, Yui Hihama, came to her door hoping to learn how to make cookies.

The idiot Yui Yuigahama, the self-centered Yukino Yukinoshita, and the self-exposing Hachiman Hikigaya all contributed to many of the comedic moments.

Yui Yuigahama, who is terrible at cooking, failed to make cookies, but was encouraged by Hikigaya with words of encouragement, which helped her recover her spirits.

At the end of the first episode, Hikigaya suddenly receives a failed baking cookie from Yui Yuigahama. In a daze, he wolfs it down where no one is watching.

Watching Hachiman Hikigaya eat the dark, gooey cookie without hesitation, which looked awful, Komachi gently grabbed his arm and whispered:

"My brother is such an idiot."

"There's nothing I can do. I've lived this long and no one has ever given me a gift before. It's only natural to be happy to suddenly receive someone's thoughtfulness."

"Is it tasty?"

"I don't know, I've never eaten it."

"She'll probably give you more gifts after that, right?"

"probably."

Will you eat it?

"Of course I'll eat it."

"You might get food poisoning."

"It's alright, it's just someone's kind gesture."

To be honest, when this part of the story was written in the novel, Hachiman Hikigaya was somewhat looking forward to it.

However, he was mostly self-aware.
