Ao Chan Can T Study Episode 1

Ever watched a show and thought, "Okay, this is cute, but where is it going?" That was definitely me watching the first episode of Ao Chan Can't Study!. It sets the stage for something hilarious and potentially sweet.

A Pristine Plan Gone Wrong

Our protagonist, Ao Horie, is on a mission! She wants to get into a prestigious national university. This is all in an effort to be distant and "unattractive" to her childhood friend, Kijima. He made a suggestive comment when they were kids that scarred her for life!

Ao's plan is simple, study hard and be unreachable to Kijima. He, on the other hand, seems determined to misunderstand everything she does.

The Ultimate Misunderstanding

The humor springs from Ao's over-the-top reactions and Kijima's utter obliviousness. She tries to be aloof and cold, but Kijima interprets it as a sign of her affection.

Every attempt Ao makes to create distance backfires spectacularly. It's like watching a perfectly constructed house of cards collapse with each gentle breeze. Poor Ao!

The episode is filled with internal monologues that clash hilariously with the external reality.

Ao's inner thoughts are all about strategic avoidance while Kijima's are about innocent friendship and maybe something more.

The Power of Purity... Or Is It?

The surprising part is how much the show plays on the concept of purity. Ao is convinced that anything remotely suggestive will derail her academic career. This seems utterly ridiculous.

Kijima, despite his past comment, appears genuinely pure and well-meaning. Or maybe he's playing the long game? That's the question the episode subtly plants in your mind.

Is Ao's paranoia justified? Or is she creating a problem where there isn't one? This is part of the show's charm.

More Than Just Comedy

Beneath the humor, there's a hint of something heartwarming. Kijima's persistent attempts to connect with Ao, even when she's being actively hostile, are kind of sweet.

You almost feel bad for him, constantly being rebuffed for reasons he doesn't understand. Almost. Because then Ao does something ridiculously over-the-top and you're laughing again.

It makes you wonder if their friendship, or whatever it might become, will survive Ao's self-imposed exile. Will Ao be able to overcome her past trauma? Only time will tell.

Intrigued? You Should Be!

The first episode of Ao Chan Can't Study! is a fun and engaging introduction to a world of misunderstandings and overreactions. If you enjoy anime that blends comedy with a touch of sweetness, this one might be right up your alley.

It's not groundbreaking, but it's entertaining, and sometimes that's all you need. It definitely leaves you wanting to see what ridiculous situation Ao will get herself into next. Plus, you can't help but root for Kijima, even if he is a bit clueless.

So, if you are looking for a lighthearted anime to watch and laugh along with, give Ao Chan Can't Study! a shot. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy the ride.
