Senpai Is a Boy: Episode 8 Recap

Senpai Is an Otokonoko Episode 8 opened with a spotlight on Saki Aoi, who was at the hospital with her grandmother. Despite her collapse, her grandmother was in good health and reassured Saki and the nurse that she was simply feeling lightheaded. Soon after, Saki received a call from her father who promised to visit her tomorrow after hearing her message. The focus then turned to Ryuji Taiga and Makoto Hanaoka as they made their way to school. Saki observed how happy Ryuji seemed at the end of the day, and the two of them had a conversation.

At home, Saki contacted him and shared that she was in distress and required assistance because she believed someone was lurking near her residence. Upon his arrival, she disclosed that she had spotted a figure outside her window, prompting Ryuji to spend the night with her. As they reminisced about their friendship, the intruder suddenly entered the house and was revealed to be Aoi’s father. This triggered a brief flashback of Saki’s childhood, where she frequently confided in her mother about her father’s absence in their family.

Despite her mother leaving them, Saki still made dinner for her father that night. However, he returned home late after drinking and apologized for not being a good father. Aoi also spent time with her father, during which he apologized for his past mistakes. They even talked about his work and how he had canceled his plans to spend Christmas with her, which greatly saddened her. Meanwhile, Ryuji and Makoto made plans for Christmas Eve and talked about potentially sharing a kiss.

What to Expect from Episode 9 of Senpai Is an Otokonoko (Speculative)

The ninth episode of Senpai Is an Otokonoko will probably continue to focus on Saki and delve deeper into her backstory, taking advantage of her current popularity. This will then transition into her conversation with Makoto about their Christmas plans. It is likely that she will invite him to join her at the planetarium instead of going with her father, causing Makoto to explain his original plans with Ryuji and his intention to invite Saki.

Aoi’s distress may intensify due to recent events, particularly as she continues to contemplate her feelings for Makoto and her thoughts on love. With Ryuji’s parents being absent, it is expected that Saki will have a heated confrontation while visiting them. The episode will most likely conclude with Aoi storming out and a deeper exploration of her relationship with her father.
