When a guy and girl spend enough time together, it becomes a date – but Aharen can’t tell when that magical moment will come.
Kodoani.com – The following has spoilers for Episode 11 of Aharen-San Is Indecipherable.
Aharen-San Is Indecipherable sets themselves apart from some of the other anime rom-coms on one key point – it’s unclear at what point Raido and Aharen Reina become friends and officially date. It can be a gradual process in any romantic story, especially if characters like these two don’t put much thought into it.
In contrast to A Couple of Cuckoos’ Nagi and Erika, Aharen-San’s characters do not have a convenient engagement to define their relationship, so Aharen and Raido must determine for themselves whether they are officially boyfriend and girlfriend or not. But maybe they will get some help from their friends, including Futaba.
In episode 11 of Aharen-San Is Indecipherable, the main character Aharen Reina tries to find ways to make her friend Raido happy and impress her. This time, she needed more than just meatballs and lessons, instead making an amazing impression with her own igloo maid cafe, as the sole employee. Raido appreciates this, and after the igloo collapsed, Aharen has even more ideas for indoor winter fun at the local mall; she didn’t realize how far she would go. It’s remarkable that she can do this well without even realizing it.
Midway through episode 11, Aharen invited Raido to the mall to spend some quality time with him, and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Their food-based love language continued as Aharen tasted all kinds of food, and they even met Sato and Ishikawa at a diner for a snack. Every other character in this episode had a good impression of seeing Aharen dressed up and holding Raido’s hand while spending so much time with him in a place like this. It was just routine for Aharen herself, but now she needs more self-awareness to realize how far her relationship with Raido has come. More than a few women who love casual anime ended their own series without going this far.
Episode 11 expands on Reina’s character in subtle ways, showing that she has a rather smug mindset when it comes to friends and love. She certainly values her friends Raido and Oshiro, but she also seems content with those relationships once they’ve settled down enough. Aharen and Oshiro’s friendship remains the same, but while her partnership with Raido creates a new ground here, she lacks self-awareness at all. Luckily, she has her other friends to lend a hand.
Aharen and Raido’s partners Sato and Ishikawa clearly endorse the budding romance, and they politely spend Episode 11 debating the subject to figure things out. Are Aharen and Raido officially dating as boyfriend and girlfriend? For now, the lines are a bit blurred, but Sato and Ishikawa will likely help their friends take things to the next level. Young Tsundere Futaba can also help, despite seeing Aharen as an opponent of sorts.
If a girl like Aharen spends the evening choosing the perfect outfit, can hold her male friend’s hand at the mall and share food with him, then she is Raido’s girlfriend. . Now it’s time for Aharen to get a boost from her friends and officially return in time for the season finale episode of Aharen-San Is Indecipherable. Everything was in place.
