Ha ha that stinger at the end, "Holy shit"
And that was resolved quite fast, nice pace for these situations so it can remain light-hearted while still tackling some drama stuff.
And yeah, especially in school people will try and get out ahead of stuff that someone might make fun of them for and treat it as a joke or make fun of themselves for it so others don't. It...rarely works out as well as people hope or think cause that kind of shit still gets attached to you and people generally don't let up if you do it yourself. As manga and assumedly anime fans I'm sure a bunch of you have shat on your hobbies to others who found out about them to try and cut shit off before it starts.
