English Dub Review: Go For It, Nakamura-Kun!! “Vexing! Are They an Item?!”

Overview

Nakamura feels a sense of unease when he sees his crush interacting with another guy…

Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, the story leans further into Nakamura’s chaotic inner world of misunderstandings as his attempts to romantically get closer to Hirose are constantly derailed by misunderstandings and unexpected situations. What initially appears to be a straightforward development quickly turns into a string of awkward and comedic moments, especially as Nakamura misreads Hirose’s interactions with others and lets his imagination spiral out of control.

The rest of the proceedings balances its humor with a more controversial edge, introducing scenarios that blur the line between innocent admiration and uncomfortable dynamics, particularly surrounding Hirose’s behavior and certain school interactions. At the same time, the show continues to highlight Nakamura’s jealousy and insecurity in exaggerated, often hilarious ways, reinforcing his role as both the emotional core and the primary source of chaos. Despite some questionable character decisions, the lighthearted tone and expressive visuals help keep things engaging.

Overall, this episode is a mixed but memorable entry that doubles down on comedy while flirting with more divisive themes, making it both entertaining and slightly uneven. While not as consistently strong as earlier episodes, it still delivers plenty of laughs through Nakamura’s overreactions and keeps the central dynamic moving forward in its own unpredictable way.
