I don't entirely understand why some of those were "outs"--there were several times Najimi and Hitomi got paddled where at least in the translation they didn't laugh--unless the spikey speech bubbles imply they're laughing as they say whatever it is they're saying?
@LTalon I think it is a reference to the famous comedic game show in Japan called "Gaki no Tsukai" there are five comedians and if they laugh they get hit in the ass with a baton. There are subs online, I recommend that you watch it, it is a yearly gameshow as well.

Dude I was just come here lurking from kaguya discord server, some of them keep trashing komi for exactly that reason lmao.
I ain't gonna complain if romance aspect in komi is waaay slower compared to kaguya, hell kaguya probably is still the best romcom since its serialization. But the lack of understanding that komi is pratically SoL first with romance on the sidelines as bonus are pretty much non-existent concept to them.
