I've been waiting for this episode. Hirose hasn't really been a full character up till now. We get to know so much about him! He likes crabs, he doesn't really enjoy dirty jokes, he feels like he can't keep up sometimes but he can't say no. So far, Hirose has felt so out of reach. But now we see that he's just a kid.
Another thing I genuinely love about Hirose's characterisation is that he doesn't laugh off Nakamura's attempt at reaching out. He immediately sees how important this is to Nakamura, and he tries his best to show Nakamura, in his own way, that it's important to him too.
Nakamura that is the body language of someone who likes you back
Episode 6!
Was Hirose expecting something else?
I keep yapping about this episode but I have to talk about how funny it is to me that Hirose still has a little under half his drink left and just immediately uses it as an excuse to get Nakamura more coffee
if the roles were reversed, Nakamura probably would’ve spent two minutes psyching himself up with little fantasies of chivalrously tending to Hirose’s need for more refreshments, and/or tried to finish his own drink faster to have that excuse to do so, and then missed his chance to actually do the sweet, considerate gesture
but Hirose sees his chance and leaps at it with no hesitation at all, nevermind that his excuse is hella flimsy (not that Nakamura noticed)
JUST OBLITERATE EM WITH NO WITNESSES WHY DON'T YOU 🤣
~Based on Episode 04. I felt so sad for Nakamura, I had to draw this! ❤️~
Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! Chapter 11 / Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! Episode 6

Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! (2014)
thinking about the new Nakamura-kun, specifically the moment where we get the briefest insight into Hirose’s POV
right before this clip, Hirose shows Nakamura the game they’re talking about. He’s trying to include Nakamura, to not ice him out or make him feel excluded. He invited him to study and then to lunch! He clearly wants Nakamura here and enjoys his company. But Nakamura doesn’t know about the things they’re talking about and so can’t contribute.
We’re in Nakamura’s head for 99% of the anime. We know that in this scene, he’s writing down notes about what Hirose likes (music, shows, video games) so he can check them out later. But Hirose doesn’t know that, and they just came from studying at the library. So to Hirose, it seems like Nakamura doesn’t actually want to be there; that he’s just being polite and is trying to continue studying with his notebook. And that’s why Hirose looks so sad and guilty in a shot that we the audience are privy to, but Nakamura doesn’t notice.
And we see how Hirose deals with that guilt and sadness—by not giving up! By paying attention! He thinks Nakamura is sitting in polite discomfort, trying to sneak in some studying, and he tries to make Nakamura more comfortable. He asks him about what music he likes, he notices when his drink is empty and offers to get him more. He even gets sulky when his other friends usurp his gallant offer by asking him to get more for them, too, because that offer was to Nakamura, thank you!
Then, when Nakamura helps him get the drinks, Hirose takes that opportunity to apologize for his perceived offense of “making” Nakamura tag along.
And we get a nice subtle parallel here to when Hirose almost did the exact thing he’s worried Nakamura is doing now—politely tagging along when Takeuchi tells him to join so as not to rock the boat or be a “spoilsport,” as Takeuchi calls him. Forcing himself to go. And now Hirose is concerned that he acted like Takeuchi and pressured Nakamura.
This is such interesting insight into Hirose, and really helps further establish—outside of Nakamura’s biased POV—that he’s a genuinely kind and considerate person (even if he does have a bit of a mischievous streak with that prank he pulled on Takeuchi) and that he’s genuinely interested in putting in effort in being friends (and maybe more) with Nakamura.
I really hope we get more insights like this outside of Nakamura’s POV because Nakamura, our precious adorable unreliable narrator, is wrapped up in his own anxieties and stuck in his own head, and assumes Hirose is perceiving him through the same Doom Gloom Awkward Weirdo lens he sees himself and his actions through. But Hirose doesn’t know his thoughts, his plans, his hopes, and Hirose has his own internal world that Nakamura can’t see into, either.
And we the audience got a tiny glimpse into Hirose’s internal world this episode.
"While you're here, I-I wanted to say sorry for before"
What are you even apologizing for, our awesome octopus buddies are still alive thanks to you. So we're good, swear ^^"
i just remembered this trend and thought about them..
episode 7 if nakamura was a little braver
