A Story About the Tiny Senpai Where I Work
What happens after the competition?
Episode 12 of My Tiny Senpai picks up just where the last one left off. The contest appears to have ended only recently. Shiori takes Shinozaki out for ramen that night to reward him for all of his hard work in the competition.
While walking home, a woman mentions that people with high libido crave ramen. Shiori feels embarrassed by this. Soon after, Shinozaki begins to worry if his connection with Shiori will remain strictly professional or if it will blossom into something more romantic.
Do Akina and Hayakawa get together?
The following day, Akina asks Hayakawa out. Akina agrees that it is a date when Shiori jokes about it. Hayakawa feels embarrassed and appears to be blushing as a consequence of this.
Does Shinozaki make a move?
The Meowtaro game that Yamagishi was developing is now complete. Following that, she has Shinozaki try it out by playing. When Shinozaki is playing the game, some of the dialogue in it reminds him and Shiori of a past event, hinting that Shiori colleague-zoned Shinozaki. Following this, they’re both anxious, as they clearly want more.
Shinozaki eventually asks Shiori to be his friend later that day. Shiori simplifies the situation for him, and she gives in without much resistance. Following this, given that they’ve both never been friends with someone of the opposite sex, they’re both confused about how to proceed.
Do Shiori and Shinozaki end up together?
Later that day, the group decides to go to an amusement park for Golden Week. Shiori and Shinozaki agree to travel along since they are excited to spend time with each other. However, in the end, the plan is dropped, frustrating Shinozaki and Shiori. Following that, Shinozaki asks Shiori if she wants to go to the amusement park with him. Shiori is ecstatic and agrees.
At the amusement park, Shiori and Shinozaki have a blast together. During this time, they appear to have grown closer to one another. Shiori proposes they snap a picture to commemorate the day, and shortly thereafter, Shinozaki’s sister, Hayakawa, and Akina appear.
During the final moments of the episode, Shinozaki narrates that the day got busier. And with that, the season is over, and he shows the audience a picture of him and Shiori that they had previously gotten around to taking.
The Episode Review
In this episode, we see Shiori and Shinozaki’s relationship go from colleagues to friends, and then to them wanting something more. Additionally, Akina officially asks Hayakawa out on a date.
The episode maintains the show’s typical tone and is fairly lighthearted and entertaining. However, things are rushed quite a bit in this episode. For instance, Shiori and Shinozaki’s journey seems rushed in this episode. It seems like the writers were in a hurry to wrap things up since this was the season finale. It would have been far better for the relationship to grow organically throughout the course of the series.
Aside from that, though, it was an extremely enjoyable and interesting episode. There’s a bit of a cliffhanger at the end of this season, so it will be interesting to see if the anime is revived for another season.
