Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 7 recap

Expand Tweet

Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 7 began with Makoto knocking Ryuji’s picture album to the ground, revealing a picture of him sleeping within. This led into a flashback of their childhoods together, where Ryuji clearly fell for him early. However, his friends being teased and/or punished for living alternative lifestyles led him to hide his feelings for Makoto. This led to Ryuji avoiding Makoto to the point of the once-close friends being estranged.

However, when they reunited in high school, he found Makoto in a girl’s uniform, but still being himself. Ryuji then felt himself wanting to reunite with Makoto but continued to distance himself because of his feelings. However, when Makoto was outed as a guy, Ryuji pierced his own ears to also be ostracized with his old friend. Ryuji even ended up fighting a classmate who was making fun of Makoto, as focus returned to the present where Makoto was seemingly unaware.

However, Makoto did realize and simply played it off for Ryuji’s sake. The next day, Makoto couldn’t focus because he was bothered by the truth. Ryuji eventually realizes this and admits that he loves Makoto. He tried apologizing to Ryuji, but this made Ryuji feel bad and apologize in turn. Makoto then found Ryuji skipping school the next day and asked him out. As Makoto returned to school, Aoi was leaving after something happened to her grandmother.

What to expect from Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 8 (speculative)

More likely than not, Senpai Is an Otokonoko episode 8 will open up with a focus on Aoi Saki in order to reveal exactly what has befallen her grandma. The episode’s first act or half will likely stick with her exclusively, building into her realizing that Makoto is the one for her and returning to school with newfound confidence and commitment. However, this will also likely be the first day where Makoto and Ryuji go to school together as a new couple.

This will likely lead to the major conflict of the anime’s final episodes, which will serve as the implosion of the love triangle/friend group the trio have curated over the season thus far. More specifically, Aoi and Ryuji’s relationship is likely to be strained, especially since she is the one who encouraged Ryuji to tell Makoto his feelings.
