Ganbare Doukichan - Episode 11 - Doukichan Wedding Daydream

Ganbare Doukichan - Episode 11
Doukichan had a lovely time at her imaginary wedding to Doukikun because she also imagined Kouhaichan’s reaction.

Aw. Doukichan makes a beautiful bride. You can tell this is a daydream because it shows Kouhaichan biting her handkerchief in frustration. Stop it, title card! You’re not helping Doukichan’s delusions.

So, yes, remember that coworker from earlier in the Ganbare Doukichan season? Who was getting married and made her colleagues wear maid uniforms? It’s her wedding day! Doukichan can’t help but imagine herself in the place of the bride, saying her vows to Doukikun. She remarks how pretty the bride is, but Doukikun can only look at Doukichan. Kyaa! He laid down his most romantic and forward line of the season, and Doukichan didn’t notice it.

Wedding reception fun. The couple includes western-style traditions, like throwing the bridal bouquet. Of course, Doukichan and Kouhaichan take the omen seriously. We should also take it seriously. After a comical slapstick collision with Kouhaichan, Doukichan caught the bridal bouquet by pure circumstance. Let’s call that the metaphor for the entire Ganbare Doukichan series. Aw. A little girl wanted the bridal bouquet too, so Doukichan gave it to her. She did save one flower petal for herself. That looks like a critical moment...

Bah. The groom did not throw the bride’s garter to the eligible bachelors. From experience, I can tell you this tradition is not as predictive as regular dudes would hope. I needed to give one garter back to the new husband because I felt uncomfortable holding my younger cousin’s warm unmentionable. It’s also a western tradition for the two catchers to dance during the wedding reception, so I still had fun.

Those wedding reception ceremonies are over, so it’s time to drink in Ganbare Doukichan. Kouhaichan leads the way. Straight to get getting frisky with Doukikun. Doukichan handles her like a boss. She got all the young bucks in the office to carry Kouhaichan away from Doukikun! Have none of these guys gone drinking with Kouhaichan after work? Anime and manga reliably informed me that Salarymen and Office Ladies drink heavily together. Sync Agency must have cliques.

Eep! It’s time to introduce drama before the Ganbare Doukichan season ends. Other men from the wedding reception think Doukichan is pretty. Wall slam! Here comes Doukichan’s knight in shining armor. He paid attention to the flower petal she saved. Coming in hot for the rescue!
