English Dub Review: Go For It, Nakamura-Kun!! “Even Then, I Love You!!”

Overview

Our Take

Picking up from the previous episode, this season finale follows Nakamura as he tries to move forward after confronting difficult feelings about Hirose while continuing to support the people within his circle. But due to a series of unexpected circumstances, the two are brought closer together, giving Nakamura a chance to grow beyond his insecurities and become more comfortable with himself. As their friendship continues to deepen, he begins to realize that some feelings are far more difficult to let go of than he originally thought.

This finale does an excellent job balancing comedy, romance, and emotional character growth. Nakamura’s journey throughout the season culminates in several heartfelt moments, while his interactions with Hirose feel more genuine and meaningful than ever. The episode captures the excitement, uncertainty, and vulnerability of young love without losing the quirky humor and charm that made the series so enjoyable from the beginning.

Overall, this was a touching and satisfying finale that remained true to the story’s themes of self-acceptance, friendship, and personal growth. Rather than rushing toward a dramatic conclusion, it focuses on the progress the characters have made and leaves the future open to interpretation in a way that feels natural and rewarding. Be sure to stay through the post-credits scene as well, as it provides a small but worthwhile moment that may leave viewers hopeful for what comes next.
