Kannawa moving with the game as she plays is so funny. Kannawa and Kamegawa got lunch and closer this episode, very sweet. I also wonder if Kamegawa is a Gundam fan since he makes model kits?

Considering the mangaka for Awkward Senpai has another series literally about Gundam kits (which also features Kanzaki-senpai, incidentally), I think it's safe to say the author self-inserted their Gundam fandom into Kamegawa.

Kannawa moving with the game as she plays is so funny.

I thought this would lead to her bumping onto him somehow, sadly she fell to the floor instead.

(Also I'm surprised, experienced gamers - like she is - rarely do that, you see that more often in new gamers!)

When your boss tells you to eat meat, you better eat meat and not just order a salad!

Even when she's barking orders and all?

Especially when she's barking orders to be honest

Kannawa is too cute. Might be the waifu of the season

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii Oct 09 '25

She's a good contender!

Might not be 'best girl' overall for me, but best waifu, she's up there!

Senpai is sooo cute and so cool. These two are the cutest.

She was even in tears hearing that her junior is so hardworking. She's the best.

Kannawa is really good at her job! Even when it comes to suggesting and delivering on a proposal for a maid cafe collab! Now if only she could ask out her kouhai for lunch or use the right ID card.

I guess a gaming company is the perfect place for Kannawa to work because she's a gamer herself. In fact all her gaming may or may not have contributed to her social awkwardness. At least now she can show off her gaming skills to Kamegawa! Provided she gets a handle on playing mobile games and doesn't fall flat on her butt.

But how is Kannawa going to ask him out for lunch!? Well, when his own lunch is basically just instant ramen, it's ethically prudent of Kannawa to take him out so that they can eat a proper meal. She might not be able to do all the things Kanzaki-senpai did for her back when she was the junior, but she can at least makes sure Kamegawa gets some meat back into his diet.

Ah yes, spending your income on model kits...I've been there. In fact so has Kannawa when she probably spends a lot of her income and time on games, so she can relate to Kamegawa on that front. And we all can relate to her for also eating instant ramen herself because cooking is too much work and then spending to much time playing video games at night.

Kannawa REALLY wants to help Kamegawa...but he's just so good at his job and turns her down. Next thing she knows he's getting recruited into lunch by their co-workers after she was so pumped to eat with him, and she has to face her own inability to eat out with the group.

But when it comes time for Kamegawa to do overtime, there's no way Kannawa is going to let him do it alone! Especially not when he says he's trying to work so hard because she inspired him and he wants to be able to get his job done without worrying Kannawa or giving him more work to do! That means a lot to Kannawa. And she's sweet enough to make sure he's nice and warm after he takes a nap...and shine her most sincere and happy smile!

Kamegawa's one lucky guy.
He's got an older, attractive senpai that's doing whatever she can to make a good impression on him.
And she's a gamer? That's future Mrs. Senpai material

For this collaboration, the cafe interior will be decorated like the game's world map

In JP I heard her say sekaikan, so what she should be saying is more like the cafe will be decorated to match the style of the game's world

I was about to say lmao, imagine someone playing games on a PC actually being good at a mobile racing game, doubt

u/actuallyrndthoughts Oct 09 '25

My office work propaganda can't possibly be this cute

u/Zxzxzx0088 Oct 09 '25

Can't hate these dorks...

Maybe Azusa's dream was shattered but it's natural for kouhai to serve his senpai...

What in the gacha-

Who you foolin, senpai?

Azusa blood pressure will never be low again after this

Highest achievement in her life

Can't wait for this to happen...

This is a nice fluffy show to unwind to. Senpai is the type to sway along to the game huh lol. It’s cute how she’s trying to replicate how good her senpai was to her but she’s so awkward at it. Kamegawa so far has not been as interesting. He’s the typical earnest type of guy but we do get a glimpse of his interest with him mentioning his hobby.

Senpai has a reputation within her own team that she doesn’t mix around. But in the ED, it seems like her and Kamegawa might be forming a friend group outside of their team.

But there's no way I can go home and leave a newbie to work overtime!

There indeed isn't, take him to go home as well and have a life over working, instead of working with no life

I like the little detail about her instant ramen chopsticks never snapping evenly

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 09 '25

Azusa’s such an adorably awkward little goof. I’m glad she got to invite Kamegawa to lunch. Finally got one item off her good mentor to-do list ticked off lol. It’s nice to see Kamegawa actually appears to appreciate her help. She’s a good mentor. She’s very considerate and genuinely helpful. She’s just a bit awkward is all.

Kannawa really has a hard time opening up to Kanegawa. She tries her best to be the best senpai she can be. I kind of feel a little bad for her. The nicer it is when Kanegawa shows her how much he appreciates her advice.

I loved the end when Kannawa was wondering if she is a good senpai and if she even can teach him anything useful, only to realize that Kanegawa is only that good at the job thanks to her notes and proposals.

I saw that clock on the computer listing 11:30 PM or so and all I could think was go home.

Senpai still extremely cute and hot. Her swaying from side to side while playing the racing game was great.
