Ep. 8: Tamako and Choi enforce a mochi-free diet on Dera to help him lose weight.

8

Concerned about Dera’s obesity, Tamako, Choi, and others implement a strict mochi-free diet until he loses enough weight to fit into a birdhouse crafted by Kanna. Choi accompanies Tamako and the group to school to monitor Dera and prevent unauthorized feeding. During the day, Choi participates in classes and assists Dera with necessary exercise before they visit a used clothing store. The following day, Dera appears with a noticeably slimmer physique. In response to his progress, Kanna and Midori present Choi with a sweater they handmade for her, marking a successful outcome of their collective effort to manage his health.
