It was disappointing and contrived. It started off pretty good but just kind of slid down to mid and weird territory. This episode didn’t even make any sense. What kind of logic even is the memory shit and getting exiled.

Well that was disappointing. The confrontation was so weak, with barely any input from Alicia and Duke while Liz just keeps going on about stuff.
The ending makes it interesting though. I wonder if the book is like a record that changes the story.

I had pretty much the same take on the series.
For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.
Not that this page showed beating the master at his own game, since it just ended up being more drama fodder. “Drama” itself just seems very broad.
I think this is a 10/10 but I still don’t like it. It’s a me problem. I wish the ending at least implied a possibility of change in the status quo. I think if Oshi No Ko criticising the entertainment industry is meaningless, then it would have been better if it didn’t try to say anything and just enjoyed the drama. I realise how stupid that sounds but I’m not claiming that it’s rational.
I’m considering maybe writing a more consequential ending on AO3 as a fun creative exercise, just to scratch that brain itch.

Woah I think I like this version better. I’m so happy to see Alicia learn about the joys of levelling.

Holy shit Hiroi sobered up instantly Bocchi’s mother is a wizard!
I love this cover art. It has a certain vibe just because Ryou and Bocchi are the ones on it.

I’m sad now :(
I’m with Akane on this. Aqua could have lived and been happy. But no, this story is a tragedy.
Two more chapters left, which I’m assuming is the epilogue.
Osho No Ko might end up on the list of stories I’m never rereading/rewatching, alongside Edgerunners and Danganronpa 3: Despair arc.

I love the animation, story and music so much! It’s also one of those rare anime I can recommend to non-anime fans. This is definitely my second favourite anime this season (I’m sorry but Natsuki Subaru’s Melancholy: Season 3 is also airing).

Grandpa is aging I wonder if his back hurts. Grandma is so wise.
Bad haiku aside, grandma is certainly very observant. Also it’s been a while since I read the manga so I don’t remember who the voice on the phone belongs to.

This page really hits hard. The odds are low, but I’m still hoping for a deus ex machina.

I was confused by that too. My theory is that it’s an indicator for affection level. Alicia has already deviated from the original plot of the game quite a bit so I imagine some of the NPCs would be affected by Alicia’s “villainess”-ness.

I am not even a little surprised that school rooftops are popular tourist destinations.
Speaking of which, it’s adorable how Honjouji is accidentally being tsundere lol. I would be happy to get a frog shaped rock too, although that’s just because I also liked collecting weird rocks (I had to get rid of them when I moved 😭).

The animation is so smooth, I wonder if they did rotoscoping for the movements. The black and white really brings out the body horror. It really captures the Junji Ito vibe perfectly.

Definitely one of my favourites of the season! All the characters are great, the animation is so lively and the story is a perfect mix of funny and serious. This anime is going in my special list.

- Comment on Senpai wa Otokonoko • Senpai is an Otokonoko - Episode 12 discussion 3 months ago:
Putting aside the animation quality (or lack thereof), I thoroughly enjoyed this anime from start to finish.
I recognised a lot of the things shown, especially in this episode, that I’ve experienced in my own life with me as well as people I know. I was worried about the representation when I first started the show but it completely blew away all my expectations. The author clearly knows what they’re doing.
Makoto is really strong. Self-confidence is hard but he really nailed it. How greedy, which is very fitting lol (the op has been given the honour of being in some of my special playlists).
I see a fan translation on Mangadex and an official English version on Webtoon. I’m gonna go with the fan translation because it’s further ahead and the scanlators have a really good track record.
Fly high, Makoto 🏳️⚧️

The moment I saw this panel I knew how this would play out and I have to say…
… how tf did Kamiki not see this coming‽ Like seriously, for someone exuding so much confidence in his understanding of other people, he sure as shit made a massive blunder here.
Knowing Aka-sensei, this could go any number of ways.
- The next chapter shows a news report of their deaths and that’s basically the end.
- Aqua ends up at the hospital in critical condition and-
- Dies eventually and dramatically.
- Survives and gets a happy ending. (prayge)
Dying by falling off a cliff has a certain vibe. I guess no one can resist the allure of the Reichenbach fall.
