English Dub Review: Sasaki and Miyano “I Want to Take Care of You, Senpai”

Overview:

Miyano struggles to figure out what to tell Sasaki. Sasaki gets sick. The day of the cultural festival finally arrives.

Our Take:

Well, it’s a slice of life show and we are nearing the end of it so you know what that means. Cultural festival time is here! The only thing missing is a firework show at the summer fair but with three episodes left that’s still on the table. All joking aside this show is headed in the right direction.

Miyano is getting better at expressing his feelings but Sasaki still seems to just think everything Miyano does is cute. I get it, when we like someone we tend to go crazy over every little thing they do. It’s nice that Sasaki backed off on his controlling behavior a bit, that is one of my least favorite BL tropes. I just want them to both show their softer side but I get that it’s a trope for a reason and people like it but I don’t really like it in shoujo stuff either. People get possessive and jealous all the time but maybe just handle it a little better or something. I did really like the delinquent cafe that Sasaki’s class is doing for the festival. Playing up the bad boy angle is fantastic.
