Senpai Is a Boy: Episode 2 Recap

“The second episode of Senpai Is an Otokonoko started with a flashback of Makoto being told that something he desired as a child was meant for girls. After exchanging contact information, Makoto, Ryuji, and Aoi made plans to hang out during the summer break. Makoto later excused himself to go to the staff room, leaving Ryuji and Aoi alone. Ryuji expressed his discomfort with the idea of being romantically interested in another man. Aoi attempted to make plans with Makoto, but was turned down. This prompted Ryuji to ask her to return an item that Makoto had borrowed from him.”

Despite having a good relationship at home, it was evident that Makoto was making an effort to conform to his mother’s expectations of him being manly. During a visit from Aoi, who was invited inside and engaged in conversation with Makoto’s mother, Makoto abruptly ended the gathering when his past was mentioned. He later confided in Aoi that he keeps his cross-dressing a secret from his mother, and even walked her home. To kick off summer break, the trio, including Ryuji, were spotted spending a day together at a water park.

The show then fast forwarded to the end of summer break. The group talked about the upcoming founding party, where Makoto would have the chance to wear a real dress. They agreed to go shopping for Makoto’s dress on a different day and spent the day together. Ryuji’s emotions for Makoto were evidently becoming stronger. The episode concluded with Makoto coming home to find his messy room being cleaned by his mother, who discovered the pink handkerchief from Aoi.

What to expect from Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 3 (predictions)

As the series introduces its first major conflict, viewers can anticipate Makoto’s mother playing a significant role in the events of Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 3. This may result in Makoto facing consequences and being unable to wear the outfit he had chosen for the founding party, further exacerbating the tension between the two.

If the next installment follows this path, viewers can anticipate Aoi and Ryuji teaming up to help Makoto attend the founding party. This will likely lead to Aoi confessing that she was the one who gave Makoto the handkerchief, easing his mother’s worries and explaining why he kept it.
