NHK ni Youkoso! - 12
So Saito and the Senpai are off on their jolly trip to HELL. 
I made the mistake of not realizing that they were going to an OFF-kai which is basically a group suicide event. Sato of course has no idea and thought it was a jolly vacation between the two of them. He was pretty surprised to meet the other 3 guys coming along but decided it was no big deal anyway. This was going to be his “revolution” against being a hikkikomori, but the others had something else in mind.
They take a private boat to a deserted island. Sato is confused at first but then thinks its okay. The Senpai throws her phone into the water saying she will never need it again. In the meantime, her boyfriend finally gets to leave work early to fulfill that promise he made with her but she isn’t around. He tries calling her phone but reaches a signal that the phone is “out of network”. He looks around her room and finds a book. Based on this he looks into her computer and finds a website and emails regarding her plans for the group suicide.
In the meantime when everyone gets to the island I guess they are waiting for nightfall? One of the guys is playing a pocket video game, the other reads a book. The senpai lies down in the shade and the guy who piloted the boat just looks out into the ocean. Sato tries to get friendly with all of them but fails as they have no intentions to get to know him before they die anyway. He doesn’t understand why everyone is so gloomy when they’re at such a nice place.
Meanwhile back at the ranch Yamazaki is flipping because there’s 1 day left until the comic event and Sato is missing in action. Misaki shows up says that she saw Sato and a woman driving off together. Yamazaki won’t believe her because Saito is obviously a Hikkikomori who won’t do such things. Just then, the Senpai’s boyfriend shows up and tells them how he found information about her taking someone (probably Sato) together to the OFF-kai. At this point Sato is gathering firewood for a bonfire. The other 2 guys eventually help him and the one who drove the boat says “you reminded us of the reason we come here in the first place. We come here to enjoy our last day of life together.” Suddenly it hits Sato, the reason that they are all there.
Upcoming Attractions: Senpai tries to die together with Sato.

Everyone who bitched about Mayama checking Rika’s computer in H&C needs to see this episode :p Early intervention FTW! ^_^
LMAO I dont watch F&C but I think I know what you’re talking about. I’m also glad he found this. Obviously I know they aren’t going to die like half way through the series but I’m curious to see how they’ll stop it all
well, they can’t kill main male lead in yhe middle of the series, but I’m really worried about Senpai… especially since she seems to be dead serious (no pun intended) on commiting suicide
well i figure if saito doesnt die im sure he wont let her die either but i dont like her much as a character (i’m a misaki fan^^) so I guess i wouldnt be that sad >_>;
perhaps saving someones life will give him the feeling of own values…
just watched the fansubbed ep12, seems the senpai’s bf (further referred as BF) is really caring type who happens to have very time-consuming work… i feel that pretty much terminates any hopes for senpai X Satou , since he’s just a ton better bf that Satou can ever be… I feel like we’ll bee seeing Yamazaki, Misaki and BF running an expedition to save wannabe suiciders… I wonder what could be confrontation between suicide group members and BF - will they hate him because of online lies/fantasies senpai posted earlier? will they attack him? and now that Satou knows real purpose offline meeting has, what is he going to do? I’ve probably run for the hills, people who intend to kill themselves can as well kill you… before anyone tells me I’m a dirty coward , I will tell that better living coward than dead hero…
And I wish I could dump the cell phone into the sea like senpai did, great scene!
If Satou continues on the path he is taking now, he could be a better man than senpai’s bf.
maybe thats what gonzo’s intention is to do
I wish all best to poor Satou, and senpai is true beauty but why do I get Satou X Misaki vibes all the time?
Because Satou x Misaki is awesome.
Satou has similarities with both the females, but seeing as senpai is mostly taken by a good BF (which she’ll realize soon enough i hope), I doubt anything will come of their relationship.
Satou x Misaki is a nice couple because I get this vibe that Misaki is very much a hikkikomori or something just as strange as well. I think they can both support each other through attention and love.
yea but I heard in the manga they dont get together which is why I’m really looking fwd to what Gonzo’s gonna do with the anime storyline
I’ve not read manga, so I’m unspoiled, and I just hope Satou will get “any” girlfriend, mind you prety much everyone here is troubled, senpai with her conspiracies and drugs, Misaki with who knows waht but doesnt semm to be happy, Yamazaki with his otaku mysoginist status (Moe dosn’t exist in 3d!)…
