What Makes This Anime Worth Watching
Go For It, Nakamura-kun! comes from the manga by Syundei, which earned a loyal following for its sweet and funny story. The main character, Nakamura Okuto, is a shy high school student who falls in love at first sight with his classmate Hirose Aiki. The problem is that Nakamura is very awkward and often messes up simple things. His attempts to get close to Hirose go wrong in funny and unexpected ways.
The show belongs to the Boys Love genre, but it focuses more on comedy and the awkwardness of young love rather than heavy drama. Each episode runs for about 23 minutes, making it an easy watch. The animation quality from Drive studios has received positive feedback from viewers who enjoy the colorful and expressive art style.
What Happened in Recent Episodes
The latest episodes have shown Nakamura dealing with jealousy and his own shy personality. In Episode 5, the story took a chaotic turn when Nakamura started spiraling because he wants to get close to Hirose but does not know how to act. The classroom scenes have been especially funny, with small incidents turning into big problems for the main character.
Episode 3 showed Nakamura completely unmotivated in art class until Hirose was chosen as the model. Episode 2 brought chaos when something small and dark ran across the classroom floor, causing panic among the students. Episode 1 introduced Nakamura’s love at first sight moment and set up the cooking class disaster that made fans fall in love with the series.
