English Dub Review: My Tiny Senpai “You Sure You Don’t Want One?”

Overview:

Katase thinks she’s gotten taller and Yutaka wants a picture of Katase.

Our Take:

There’s a lot going on this episode. It starts at the new Year’s festival with Katase and Shinozaki trying to find a lost child’s parents. The rest of the episode takes place after new Year’s. Katase thinks she’s gotten taller and wants to see if Shinozaki notices. Afterwards, someone from another department asks Shinozaki to help him with something. Katase tells him to go through her instead.

Later on, that same guy gets Hayakawa to help him out. Akina isn’t happy about it and he goes out to eat with her when she’s finished. They run into Takuma’s sister, Yutaka, who makes things awkward. Yukata also asks both Akina and her brother for pictures of Katase.

This is another hilarious episode and all of the main characters get some time to shine. We get a lot of moments between Shinozaki and Katase, which is always a treat. We also get a nice scene between Hayakawa and Akina where we learn more about Akina’s love life. It actually explains why he’s so interested in other peoples’ relationships.

The star of this episode has to be Yutaka. I liked her in the last episode, but she really shines through here. She hates big crowds, but easily feels lonely or left out. Her and Akina make a great comedic duo, especially when they’re trying to meddle in Shiori’s and Takuma’s relationship. I hope Yutaka’s in every episode from now on. I can’t imagine the show without her.
