Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! S2 - Episode 13 [END] - Uzaki-chan Looks Up at Sakurai

Uzaki-chan ended up in Sakurai's bed underneath him! How did it happen? What happened next?

How much did Sakurai drink in that last episode of Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!? Fujio had to go to the convenience store to restock! He’s convinced Sakurai loves Hana. Loves her! Sakurai let slip that he’s not touchy-feely because his parents were “all over each other” at home. Fujio interpreted the phrase as domestic violence, but as soon as Sakurai moved out, he got a baby sister. It’s domestic something, but not violence. What. Happened. Here? This is double oyakodon play! Even the cats are watching! Ah. The only ones who aren’t drunk are Yanagi and the cats. Kuso Cat boxers. Where can I buy them?

Let Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! flash backward to how oyakodon and shimaidon started happening. Oho. Yanagi is a little imp! She suggested penalties for losing games. A strip card game against a blotto Sakurai is not fair! Yanagi likes to sprinkle random English words into her conversations. Did she pick that up from her gaming hobby? Selling pictures of Sakurai’s buff body to Ami is a good idea! Hana had to be drunk to allow herself to express that out loud. Will Tsuki stop her daughters? Nope. Ha! The most she can do is not let Sakurai’s clothes get wrinkled. Tsuki was drunk too.

Aw. Fujio stopped the madness. He and Uzaki-chan need to get an incapacitated Sakurai home. Taxi home. Fujio finally reconciled the nice guy he knew from the gym with the incredible Senpai Hana always discussed. Their lives are already intertwined with family. When will Sakurai’s family meet Uzaki-chan? Will it be the same roundabout way Sakurai met her father? Cute! But will Sakurai remember Uzaki-chan hugging him like that? And we’re caught up to the first episode of Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!. That flashforward took thirteen weeks! What a tease. Those scenes made it look like they were alone instead of with Uzaki-chan’s parents.

Thanks. We needed a comedic breather to see Kiri’s male friend hit on him. Boo! Sakurai’s a drunk coward! Instead of collapsing on Uzaki-chan’s pillows, he landed on his own. Oh well. Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! will show many more awkward scenes before they become an official baka couple. I’m sure Uzaki-chan regrets not doing “something” to Sakurai before she left.

Oh boy. Ami is so happy. Did she get the pictures Yanagi sent her? She did! Ami thinks Uzaki-chan had a good Christmas Eve with Sakurai. She even wants to pay Uzaki-chan for the tasty pictures! Yanagi too! Uzaki-chan wonders if Ami should be spending money like that. Ami explains that she doesn’t care about profits per se. It’s about boosting performance! What kind of performance levels up by paying for shots of Sakurai in his underwear? Who gets frustrated the most in Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!? Sakaki or Master Asai?

Time to eat rice! Sakurai arrived, and Uzaki-chan became shy. Uh oh. Sakurai was so drunk he didn’t remember anything. He asked Uzaki-chan if he did “anything.” Penalty game in the buff! Um. That picture is not Sakurai’s fault. You can clearly see Uzaki-chan’s hand taking off his shirt. Ugh. Sakurai and Uzaki-chan spent a whole awkward day at work before they could discuss what happened. Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! quickly smoothed things over. The baka couple made plans for a New Year’s shrine visit. Oops. Not so smooth. Sakurai remembered!

Shinichi has time for one more throwdown with his dad before the new year. Sakurai can’t focus on judo because he keeps thinking about Uzaki-chan. Mr. Sakurai isn’t much into judo. He stumbled into it when he inherited the dojo from Mrs. Sakurai’s family. Hey! Judo skills can be good for pushing down a girl! Rude! Shinichi can do that with tons of alcohol in his system. Ha! Kick back at ya! Shinichi and his dad have the same temper.

Midnight shrine visit for Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!. Sakurai needs guy time with Master Asai and Sakaki. He does not surprise them at all that Uzaki-chan has feelings for him. He’s surprised they’re not surprised! Everyone knows! Even the cafĆ© regulars! I love it. Sakaki gives Sakurai both barrels of his complaints.

So, here’s where we are. Uzaki-chan thinks Sakurai loves her, but she hasn’t done anything about it yet. Sakurai heard that Uzaki-chan likes him, but he only just found out. What will they do in the new year? Two seconds in, and Sakurai held Uzaki-chan’s hand! Squee! Noo! Sakurai is still looking for the confidence to confess. I loved how the heavy, nostalgic music ground to a halt, then the lively music came back up. Reset for Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!. The end.
