A Girl & Her Guard Dog episode 11 may delve deeper into potentially uncomfortable themes for many viewers, especially towards the end, so be aware of that if you decide to continue watching the series. In my opinion, this episode wasn’t very interesting. It felt somewhat dry, except for the very end, where it reached its peak of romance that everyone had expected between the two characters. It was an interesting way for them to start showing emotions to each other, but at the same time, their relationship is unique in their own way.
A Girl & Her Guard Dog episode 11 picks up where the previous episode left off, with Isaku and Keiya having a moment during the fireworks in the classroom, engaging in an interesting interaction. Keiya talks about how she’s the only person who can make him sit or stay, but he also mentions that he can’t stay still forever because he’s not a well-behaved dog.
After that, Isaku reflects on her feelings about Keiya during her shower and dinner. Her thoughts revolve around their emotions and how to reconcile them. She contemplates talking to her friends, but they’re busy and unaware that both of them are in a yakuza. She recalls a lady who knows Keiya, Kaori, and was deciding whether to text her or not. Accidentally sending a text, she receives a reply from Kaori that night and decides to meet up.
Isaku goes to the club where Kaori works, and they discuss whether Isaku and Keiya are dating. Kaori reveals that they never dated before, but they’ve slept together before. She shares a story about how they met and emphasizes how much Keiya cares about Isaku. The conversation wasn’t intense, just focusing mainly on that topic.
Later, Isaku is home and goes to Keiya, telling him that he is free to do whatever he wants with her. The episode concludes with him about to kiss her, but she covers him with her hand, and he licks her hand. The episode ends, leaving viewers curious about what will happen next and if the story will delve into more profound themes.
Overall, A Girl & Her Guard Dog episode 11 is mainly about her interpreting signs, encouraging her to push her limits and express herself to see how far they can progress in their relationship. I sense that the upcoming episodes might revolve around them solidifying their lovey-dovey relationship and understanding what they truly mean to each other. This is just my perspective as a non-manga reader, and I won’t know for sure until next week. In terms of animation, I believe this week’s episode was acceptable, considering there wasn’t much happening in the storyline. Honestly, if they decide to adapt the rest of the anime into a chibi format only, I wouldn’t mind; they look adorable.
I give this episode of A Girl & Her Guard Dog episode 11 a 5/10. If you enjoyed the episode, vote for it in the weekly polls.
