So much to say about this chapter!
Art/panelling moves! Like on page 3, where Temari's Ahoge turns into a heart because she's gone fujoshi. Also, the artist breaks the panel boundary with boobs. He breaks the panel a few more times (once with her knee when running, once again with huge oppai). It's a neat graphic trick to create a focal point, like making a meal tastier with beautiful plating.
That said this is a Temari chapter and she is rapidly becoming best ecchi girl. Glasses? Otaku? Big boobs, big ass? And now she knows karate?! What is this ecchi dream girl? This thesis of ecchi science was made to capture their otaku hearts. Like Kryptonite to Superman, Temari is to Otaku. One detail I appreciated was that the author thought about what kind of underwear to flash, and went with "practical cotton." It's an extra detail of characterization that elevates the smut.
Let's talk about the crazy fan. This is a bundle of multiple tropes. One is the idol stalker. The other is "fat=bad/butao." Like morally bad. I am always wary when seeing these two tropes get combined. Dude being fat and ugly is the least troubling thing about him, compared to his being a (self-admitted!) stalker, ignoring her discomfort and her clearly asking him to back off, then going full-incel and blaming her for it. He could have had any body type trope and successfully played his role in this chapter. To also make him "butao" is like pouring gravy on a big mac. Conversely, there is a dearth of "fat and good" characters. Manga loves their body shaming.
