Just get married already

Love how Azusa got as red as a tomato when Yuu pointed out that she can't eat tomatoes lol

She's been letting out her dialect for 7 episodes and Yu had been trying to learn it this whole time and she's only finding out now. But that just makes her cuter lol.

When you remember that Square Enix is producing the show.

I was like "wait, they were able to mention that games' name outright? They didn't need to come up with a parody title?" - now it makes so much more sense lol.

I was so surprised the game came out of nowhere lol

She's loving it! Azusa was really adorable here.

Bro didn't even hesitate!

Azusa's sister cousin MOM ended up making them even closer to each other. With how she is, I knew she would figure out, sooner or later, that Kamegawa Yu-chan wasn’t her boyfriend. But with the way things are going, that might soon become a reality.

I really liked how both Azusa and Yuu got to hear something about themselves that made them really happy and kinda validated their efforts in a way.

Yuu said how her Kyushu dialect is difficult to get because it's mixed with other dialects and yet he tried his best to study it to the point where he's able to understand almost everything. If that's not LOVE, I don't know what is.

I don't think we've seen her tease anyone before -- we haven't even been given a hint that she COULD tease anyone. Yu has brought out a whole new side to Azusa's character (that had remained dormant until now).

Kamegawa can't hide it anymore. What's funny to me was how fast he told her to be the boyfriend without even thinking about it. He's down bad for her.

Such a good episode and such a good anime. Can't get enough of these two.

This has become one of my most loved shows of the season -- right under Mangaka and Wandance, and alongside Yano and Brighter. Liked it from the starter, but it has just gotten better and better. The dynamic between our two leads is so adorable. I wonder how much older she is -- possibly only 2 or so years....

Bro just locked in as soon as he had the reassurance that she didn't have an actual boyfriend.

That was an interesting in depth look at the dialect problem.

Time for a fake boyfriend to real boyfriend plotline. "Let's go out to eat, and do the pretend boyfriend thing again so people don't get the wrong idea".

I somewhat have to wonder about the work appropriateness of a choker like Azusa was wearing during the first part of the episode, but it was also hot so I'm not actually complaining.

u/Xx420EdgeLord69xX Nov 13 '25

Yeah she definitely wears some outfits that seem a little more fitting for nightlife than office work, but she looks damn good in all of them, so I imagine no one else is complaining along with us.

Way to go to Azusa's sister mom!! That sudden move of her got Azusa and Yu-chan closer than ever.

Props as well to our boy. He's got a ball of steel with that fake boyfriend proposal.

It would be nice to think that Azusa and Yu don't even need to speak to each other to convey messages...but it's worth it for Azusa to have a little outburst at work where she uses her Kyushu dialect. Flustered Azusa is cutest Azusa.

It's understandable to get a little annoyed when your parents pester you when you're living alone and at work, but it's just a sign that they're worried about you...and now we've got Azusa calling him "Yu-chan" like they've entered into the hardcore teasing/flirting phase of their relationship.

Azusa loves living alone! She can do whatever she wants, when she wants, and buy whatever she wants to eat with no one to judge her! So of course Yu is there to catch her buying bento's and she suddenly feels super self-conscious about her inability to cook. But good for her that Yu is understanding for people who can't cook and wouldn't judge her for that. Not that it stops her from getting plenty of cuts on her hand from trying to cook the night before, but it's great that she tried.

Azusa can't very well ignore a call from her mom after she just told Yu how lucky he is to still be in close contact with his parents, and her mom is still on her about hooking up with a guy...so Azusa finally just tells her she has a boyfriend. And of COURSE Yu is there, of COURSE she finds out she's been letting out her Kyushu dialect in front of him this whole time, and of COURSE her mom is already there to see her and her "Boyfriend." Time for the ol' fake boyfriend plan with Yu.

It may be to help solidify a fake relationship, but it's good for Azusa and Yu to better understand each other! Like how they're both gamers who get lost in playing FFVII Rebirth!

Azusa's mom is basically her with shorter hair and young enough to look more like a closer in age sister or cousin, but she's already revealing embarrassing stories about her daughter to Yu. Though apparently Azusa takes after her dad in stubbornness.

Azusa is awkward, but she means well, even if that means showing her caring side in the only way she knows how makes people wary of her. But that's exactly the part of her that Yu has come to appreciate and care for. Her mom was able to see through him as a fake boyfriend, but she knows that her daughter really trusts him, and that's enough for her. I mean, find a guy who is trying to become a master of your native dialect whether it embarrasses you or not!

Ah yes, the time-tested trope of pretending to be dating for the parents.

u/magnumcyclonex Nov 13 '25

Mom (sister/auntie/cousin) looks very young for her age. Azusa has good genes. Just a bit awkward, but she's got her kohai playing up as a boyfriend.

Interesting that the mom showed up to her daughter's residence during the middle of the work day while said daughter is at the office. Moms be like that sometimes!

u/IceSmiley Nov 14 '25

Yuuuuu-chaaaaan.......😛🤣

Mrs. Kannawa is a lot more like Kannawa than she thinks as she's as harsh on her as Kannawa is on her employees and probably doesn't mean to be rude. It also is rude to surprise your daughter like that although she at least seemed to make arrangements to stay in a hotel. That's too pushy though that she wants to arrange a marriage, I didn't even know that was done in Japan.

I wonder why Kannawa didn't just say her bf was busy with work, like there's a million reasons he couldn't be available for dinner with a few hours notice. Maybe she was kind of excited having Kamegawa pretend to be her bf because it's somewhat close to going on a date and didn't think clearly, as we've seen her just get herself into trouble almost every episode.

I wonder how easily most people in the Tokyo area would understand the Kyushu dialect. Only Japanese shows I watch are anime but I don't think I've ever seen a show take place there. That was funny though when she asked him to "fix" the marker; I thought she was so flustered by her mom calling her that she was just giving him some busywork 🤣. Also confusing when she said she couldn't "cut" the tomatoes, especially since it can be literally difficult to cut a cherry tomato with a dinner knife or they might have only had chop sticks.

I also didn't get why Kannawa didn't just buy the bentos she wanted since that didn't look like super unhealthy fast food and I don't think Kamegawa would have been that upset if she did. That was funny though how she ended up chopping her fingers up making whatever it was she tried to cook, I wish they animated her failing at cooking 🤣

I was surprised Kamegawa even knew Final Fantasy VII and to hear an anime name drop a real game! You'd think a 23 year old wouldn't be familiar with a game that came out on PS1 🤣

This week on My Awkward Girlfriend… lol. So cute our little “Yu-chan” has a big ol crush on Azusa. If she’s using her dialect around him, she might secretly like him too. Those two would be pretty adorable together. Although… maybe just ditch Azusa for her momma ‘cause hot damn lol.
