Tonari no Seki-kun – 11

「登山」 (Tozan)
“Mountain Climbing

Continuing on from last week’s momentum, this week’s episode was terrific. We got a little bit of everything that makes the show worth watching and then a little bonus right at the end.

Yokoi is too cute

I know a lot of people have commented about Hanazawa Kana doing a great job voicing Yokoi throughout the previous episodes but if I had to pick a just one, this week’s episode takes the cake. Ranging from super cute to totally devastated, this episode had it all. My personal favorite though would probably be the moment Yokoi totally lost it when she first spotted that tiny stuffed bear with its cute little backpack and binoculars.

Seki-kun’s Bold Scheme

It never occurred to me that Maeda was one of those kids who could intimidate you just by staring you down. But assuming that Seki-kun and Yokoi already knew this, you have to give some credit to Seki-kun for being so manly this week. Unlike previous episodes where all he did was get some wood chips on his shirt, Seki-kun completely invaded Maeda’s personal bubble. While I’m still trying to figure out how he managed to attach a binder clip onto Madea’s shirt without him noticing (those things are heavy!), I can’t help but laugh at Seki-kun for nearly getting caught.

Looking Ahead

After being treated to two episodes that have diverged off the beaten path, I hope things continue to stay this strong as the winter season comes to a close. On to next week!

    Not even Spongebob and Patrick’s imaginaaaaaaation can stand up to Seki’s.

    Lol, Yokoi finally has a reason to not pay attention to the lesson, and she ends up having to hide in her notebook to avoid a death glare.

    White bear = Yokoi watching
    Brown bear = Seki up to his crazy antics

    Love how Seki included voyeuristic Yokoi into his little scenarios.

      And I’m surprised that Seki added the white bear for Yokoi’s “benefit”, as if he already knew that she’d be watching.

        I will be surprised if he doesn’t notice that every time, Yokoi is watching.

    “Kawaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii… kuma-san no campu!” <3 <3 <3

    No, Rumi-chan, you’re the one who is kawaii. Too much so. Stop looking at Seki, he doesn’t deserve you! Look only at me instead!!!

    So would this episode be considered a draw? lol

  6. Crunchie

    So stick with us ’cause Seki and Yokoi are gonna do it all!

    Man, if Gotou saw Yokoi’s expression when she was swooning over the bears, it’s just fuel her shipping even harder.

    Welp, double down again…this time by Maeda…

    so…after all that mayhem for this and last week, I think we can agree that we can omit episode 10 into the scoreboard…

    …and add another person in.

    Now, for the score (note: ep.10 has been omitted)

    Seki – 5
    Yokoi – 6
    Uzawa – 1, Maeda – 1

      You forgot Kouto

        I mean Gotou, sorry.

    Kawaii reactions from Yokoi are kawaii. I’m also surprised Seki-kun was able to make the brown bear’s limbs move from just pulling it up.

    That glare…
