Aharen-San Wa Hakarenai “Are We Being Followed” Review

Aharen-San Wa Hakarenai “Are We Being Followed” is the second episode of the Aharen-San anime. Feeling like he’s got to know Aharen a little better now Raido spends his days with her, with less of the awkwardness that was in episode 1. However they’ve got someone following them but it turns out to be Aharen’s old friend Oshiro. Raido skips the next day of school because he realises that Aharen was trying to warn him his fly was unzipped all day and can’t face it so Aharen walks home with Oshiro, who’s even taller than Raido.

Aharen’s Mimes

This was just such a funny episode. I would say not at funny as last episode but definitely entertaining. Raido being called scary when that’s the one thing he knows and is insecure about was sweet actually because it gave Aharen a chance to show they’re friends and that he’s not scary at all. The eye drops scene was relatable as hell, I can’t get eye drops in my eyes to save my life but the cutest scene has to be when Aharen puts on Oshiro’s jumper and it’s massive on her! Being the same height as Aharen, I felt that in my soul and it made me burst out laughing.

Oshiro’s stalker scenes were magnificently directed. Keeping up the absolutely bizarre humour of the story whilst being subtle about it and not screaming “laugh at this” like a lot of shows similar to this do. This is why I love Aharen San, it’s just wholesome as hell.
