Senpai Is a Boy: Episode 1 Recap

The first episode of Otokonoko, featuring protagonist Makoto Hanaoka, started with him reflecting on the fact that everyone has something about them that is considered abnormal. He was about to head home when he was approached by Saki Aoi, a classmate who had sent him a love letter. Makoto then revealed his true identity as an otokonoko by removing his wig and lifting up his shirt in response to Saki asking him out, explaining that he is not the type of girl she thinks he is.

Despite feeling initially discouraged, Saki’s excitement only grew stronger. Despite Makoto’s rejection, Saki was determined to become the first person he falls in love with. Makoto also expressed concerns about how others would view their relationship, but Saki remained unfazed and continued to pursue him. However, their conversation was interrupted by Makoto’s childhood friend, Ryuji Taiga, who was questioning Saki about her true intentions while secretly watching them.

After Ryuji confronted Saki for a second time, it became apparent that he also had feelings for Makoto. Saki’s realization of Makoto’s intentions from previous conversations led her to refer to Ryuji as her “Master”for his assistance. Ryuji then shared the story of how they first met, which further solidified his affection for Makoto. The episode concluded with a brief scene featuring Saki, followed by Makoto bidding himself goodnight as he stored his otokonoko attire in a school locker.

Predictions for Senpai Is an Otokonoko Episode 2

With the introduction and development of all three central characters, Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 2 should now shift its focus to their shared friendships and relationships. Additionally, viewers can anticipate Saki and Ryuji to further explore their feelings for Makoto with each other, strengthening their bond through this shared connection.

Fans of Senpai Is an Otokonoko can anticipate episode 2 delving into Makoto’s family and home life, where his otokonoko tendencies are evidently unwelcome based on the events of episode 1. The role of his mother will be further explored as a major factor in this, as seen in a flashback where she tells a young Makoto that certain things are meant for girls.

Concluding Remarks

The initial episode effectively establishes the series and showcases its overall tone, subject matter, and approach in addressing the subject at hand. Although it is challenging to draw definitive conclusions from just one episode, it is anticipated that the exceptional quality seen in the premiere will persist in subsequent episodes.
