Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 11 began with Saki updating Makoto and Ryuji on the situation with her mother. Makoto then revealed his intention to soon speak with his mother about the real him. Saotome then asked Makoto for help with a classmate known as Hayase whom he was once friends with, which led to her asking him out instead. At dinner, Saki’s mother suggested they take a vacation together, which she excitedly agreed to. Ryuji then spoke with Hayase, clearly trying to figure out her intentions with Makoto, which she claimed was just to be friends again.

Hayase, Makoto, and everyone else then went shopping together during free time on their school trip. He got dressed up with the girls in feminine kimonos, which left Ryuji smitten. A flashback then revealed that their friendship became strained when Makoto’s secret came out, with others judging Hayase for being close with him. Ryuji consoled the classmate in love with Hayase later that night, clearly speaking about his own love for Makoto in the process.

Makoto then began thinking of Saki while wondering if Hayase and Saotome would date, accidentally calling her as a result. This led to them having a conversation despite Makoto’s initial feelings. Upon returning home, Saotome and Hayase took the first step towards dating. The episode ended with Makoto starting the talk with his mother as he said he would, but she began having a panic attack as he started, with his father telling him to go see his maternal grandfather.

What to expect from Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 12 (speculative)

Senpai is an Otokonoko episode 12 will almost certainly begin with a focus on Makoto’s mother and father, likely as they’re discussing Makoto. His father will likely reveal to his mother that he sent him to see her father (his maternal grandfather) given how significant he seems to be in the context of her and Makoto’s relationship.

Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 12 should balance this primary focus with a secondary look at Saki’s vacation with her mother, which is likely to have drama of its own as well. While it’s unclear what that may be, it’ll likely stem from her mother’s abandonment and lingering issues it’s caused for Saki and her grandmother.
