There are stretches where the slow progress feels a bit contrived, tho; normally in this sort of setup there would at least be some significant form of outside reinforcement propping up Akina's need to accept "normal life" and reject "otaku life," but in this case there really isn't much of that. The people Akina cares about are all friendly and open-minded, so it's really just Akina's own prejudices and the broad spectacle of socially awkward otaku (and presumed off-camera societal pressure) that keeps it going - and yet, her spastic flailing is so humorous to watch that it's easy to forget that she's mostly the only one being a jerk here. ^_^;
Edit: Also, "brain narcotics" could probably be translated as "endorphins," though i guess Mii-chan does use the colloquial rather than the loan-word. Incidentally, it's always nice to see Mii-chan flustered; the gap moe is real.
