The new anime series Go For It, Nakamura-kun! has been winning over viewers with its sweet mix of awkward first love and funny moments. Episode 9 just dropped, and it brought a big surprise that got everyone talking. Nakamura found himself very confused after seeing his crush Aiki Hirose in a dress on stage, and he even started asking himself questions about his own feelings. Now fans are counting down the days until Episode 10 arrives.
Episode 10 Release Time on Crunchyroll
Go For It, Nakamura-kun! Episode 10 will release on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. The new episode drops at 3:30 PM British Time on Crunchyroll for viewers in the UK.

The show follows a weekly release schedule with new episodes every Wednesday. Crunchyroll is the only streaming platform carrying the series. The platform offers both subtitled versions for international audiences and a Japanese dub. A free trial is available for new users, but after that a paid subscription is required to keep watching.
What Happened in Episode 9
Episode 9 was titled “On the Trail! The Shooting Star Night Cultural Festival.” The school festival episode showed Nakamura getting very excited to see Hirose working at the butler cafe. But things did not go as planned. Hirose left early, and Nakamura got stuck making drinks in the kitchen instead of enjoying the festival with his crush.
Things got even stranger when the occult club kidnapped Nakamura again. They gave him a lucky charm bracelet. Later, he met a beautiful girl backstage who made his heart race. It turned out to be Hirose in drag for a play. Nakamura became so confused that he started wondering about his own feelings. The episode ended with Nakamura stepping in to help a sick classmate and performing on stage with Hirose.
Fans really loved the emotional scene during the play where Nakamura and Hirose shared the stage together. Many viewers online said the episode balanced funny moments with genuinely touching scenes really well.
“The reason this show is great is how universal it is – love is love, and Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! does a great job depicting our first stumbling attempts at finding it.” – Lost in Anime review
What Episode 10 Could Bring
Episode 10 will likely continue exploring what happened at the school festival. Nakamura might start getting closer to other students besides Hirose. The show has been quietly showing him becoming more comfortable around people, and that trend may continue.
Hirose might also start noticing Nakamura’s feelings more after seeing how emotional he became during the play. The lucky charm bracelet from the occult club could play a role too. Some fans think it might actually bring good luck to Nakamura in unexpected ways.
The comedy in Episode 10 will probably stay strong. The show has found a winning formula of mixing awkward moments with real heart, and that is not changing anytime soon. Todoroki might get more screen time after Episode 9 used him mostly for background humor.
