Episode 11

"What Do You Think, Senpai?/You Could Be More Honest, Senpai ♥" (センパイはどう思ってんスか？/素直じゃないんだからー、センパイはー♡) is the eleventh episode of the Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san anime series.

Plot
After the President left Nagatoro started to do a mocking impression of her while Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura laughed, however, Senpai told them to stop, unnerving Nagatoro as Sakura and Gamo-chan guessed he was taking her side because she was indeed his ex. Senpai dismissed said claims saying they were the ones at fault and that they had zero chances of victory against her. To cheer him up the four girls all offered to lend him a hand, suggesting to make his display a "kitty-kitty cosplay art café". Senpai told them that the previous year the art club display ranked 6th in the popularity contest on over 50-60 exhibits and have won many awards over the years, including the top ranking in an exhibition that included university students. Hearing this all four of the girls realized Senpai has quite a crush for the President, much to Nagatoro's dismay; however, after Gamo-chan asked how could it be that a high schooler's painting ranked that high in a popularity contest Senpai showed them the President's picture that gathered so much attention: a nude self-portrait. The girls were all shocked but then realized how it could be possible that it gained 6th place, prompting Nagatoro to say it was a lewd pornographic painting and asking Senpai what it was his opinion, getting mad when he answered he thought it was amazing explaining the several reasons why he believed it. Then Gamo-chan told everything he has to do was paint something equally amazing, to which Nagatoro replied she would have modeled for him, even wearing a swimsuit if he begged her. Senpai replied that he wasn't confident enough to be able to match the President's talent, while Gamo-chan pointed out he was already losing a lot in terms of "material of work", referring to the President's massive boobs compared with Nagatoro's petite chest.

Nagatoro sulk at Gamo-chan for having dissed her, despite the latter explaining it wasn't her intention since she only meant a big-breasted model usually gathered a bigger crowd, also she told her that being a little cute is nothing paragoned to a body like the President's, however, Senpai claimed that both Nagatoro and the President are charming in their ways, finally prompting Gamo-chan to apologize to her friend. Heartened, the girl asked Senpai how she preferred to paint her, however, the boy was quite discouraged and, walking home with Nagatoro tried sketching her, causing her to mock him for how fishy it looked; then she asked him if it isn't better to do something more daring he replied that a slice-of-life work would be better suited, leading the girl to reply she would have helped him in any way to let him win. The following day, due to Senpai not managing to draw her, Nagatoro took off more and more layers of clothing, eventually remaining in nothing but a towel, thus being groped by Gamo-chan as she entered the room with Sakura and Yoshi while everyone commented how sexy their friend was. Suddenly, Senpai stated that he didn't want to use her as his model anymore since if he dragged her into that match and lose it would be embarrassing for her. Offended, Nagatoro stormed off the room, soon followed by Gamo-chan, Yoshi and Sakura, all of whom lightly scolded him for hurting Nagatoro's feelings.

Later that day, Senpai went to the art club room to work on his painting, discovering that the President has taken possession of it to work on hers, leaving him the prep room. While he was doing a still life, the President approached him, wearing just a towel since she was doing another nude self-portrait, and told him it was a boring job since to be art a painting had to have love in it. At that moment, Nagatoro entered the room to visit Senpai and, seeing the President half-naked with him, she run away deeply saddened. Seemingly understanding the girl's feelings, the President ordered Senpai to chase her, saying that was also what art was about; which he immediately does.

Eventually, Senpai reached Nagatoro but was unsure regarding what to tell her and how, so he stay silent thus when a pair of her classmates reach them she told them that he was a stalker and run away again. Senpai chased her for the second time and remembered all the moments they spent together and the times she modeled for him. After they reached an impasse, Nagatoro jumped on the side of the school's swimming pool in order not to listen to Senpai, causing him to yell at her from below begging her to be his model. Blushing, yet remaining mad, Nagatoro told him that he can ask the President to be his model if she rather her, thus getting distracted and falling from the poolside, however, the boy grabbed her and said he didn't want to draw the President but her; when Nagatoro, pleased but determined to kept the tough façade, asked him why he finally admitted that Nagatoro was the most stimulating person for him; then they both fall in the swimming pool. Later, as they were drying while sitting on the side of the pool, the boy noticed Nagatoro's uniform turned transparent causing her to splash him with some water, laughing.

In a post-credit scene, walking home with Senpai, Nagatoro asked him if it wasn't better doing a cosplay rather than painting her normally, to which Senpai answered it will better show "how cute she was". Realizing what he had said, the boy blushed as vividly as Nagatoro then, to make the tension disappear, she started to tease him over the term he used.

In a second post-credit scene, the President talk to the school's Public Morals Committee Chief, who explained to her that her final decision would depend on what she would have "deemed appropriate on the actual day".

Trivia

 * This episode is the adaptation of Chapter 39, 40, 41 and 42, however there are a few differences:
 * When Nagatoro does an impression on the President, in the manga she simply repeated her words and Gamo-chan described it as "perfect", in the anime the girl actually mimicked her voice perfectly, like a sort of ventriloquist.
 * When Senpai is shown at the beginning of the episode with the girls, in the anime, he is sketching a tea kettle and some fruit on a stand near him. In the manga, his drawing pad is completely blank and there is no fruit or kettle near him.
 * When Nagatoro asked Gamo-chan how the karate club's cosplay café ranked the previous year, in the anime she replied as if she was part of the club, while in the manga she replied nonchalantly like if she simply knew someone who's member of it and actually joined the judo club, but only in her the second year.
 * When the girls are shown in cat maid outfits, in the manga, Nagatoro and Sakura are standing in front of Gamo and Yoshi, with part of Nagatoro's cat ears blocking Gamo's face. In the anime the girls are spread out into one line with all of their faces visible.
 * When Senpai explains that the clubs, classes and talent groups can do 50 or 60 presentations during the festival, in the manga, it simply shows a food stall selling cotton candy, a poster for the Drama club musical and a classroom turned into a haunted house entrance. In the anime, the food stall sells corn dogs instead, the image of the person on the Drama Club poster is flipped around and the haunted house is shown to be outdoors. It is also extended to show posters for yakisoba bread and bubble milk tea and a performance by the light music club.
 * In the manga Nagatoro and Yoshi are the only ones showing Senpai some costume choices for his painting, while in the anime Sakura is with them.
 * Also, in the manga the three costumes were a maid one, that of Nekotoro, a Chinese-style one, while in the anime the latter was replaced by Magatoro's outfit.
 * When Senpai shows the girls the Club President's painting, they all look shocked or concerned except for Sakura who blushes and says "Wow~❤". In the anime, Sakura reacts the same way as the other girls.
 * When Senpai lists his reasons as to why the Club President's painting is amazing, in the anime, Nagatoro eventually turns into a snake-like yokai and she wraps herself around him several times while staring at him. In the manga, it simply shows a close up of Senpai's head while he list the reasons, followed by the other girls' heads as they say he is acting suspicious.
 * Senpai's nightmarish vision of a giant President devouring him was absent in the manga. In the manga, she is instead shown standing over him with a menacing look
 * Following Senpai's reaction about the President, in the manga, it continues on with Nagatoro offering to help Senpai before he rejects the offer to avoid embarrassing her, causing her to run out of the room in anger. In the anime, after he imagines the President swallowing him whole, it jumps to a scene with him sketching Nagatoro as they walk home while she calls him a suspicious creep. It then moves to the next day where Nagatoro tries out different outfits to model in before he eventually rejects her help.
 * At one point Senpai is shown sketching Nagatoro on their way home before she calls him a suspicious creep, In the anime, it takes place after Senpai expresses his fear about dealing with the President, while in the manga, it takes place at the very beginning of Chapter 42, which occurred after Senpai chased after Nagatoro around the school and up into a tree.
 * Nagatoro posing for Senpai in nothing but a towel was a scene created specifically for the anime, such as Gamo-chan playfully groping her.
 * When Senpai rejects Nagatoro's help with the battle as he doesn't want to embarrass her, in the anime, Nagatoro runs out of the room wearing just the towel. The girls were standing around to watch the event unfold and Sakura notes that it would be embarrassing for Nagatoro to walk around like that. Gamo tells her that Nagatoro will find a way to change back into her clothes and then suggests they leave the room while Sakura and Yoshi call Senpai a loser. In the manga, Nagatoro was still wearing her school uniform when she becomes upset and exits. The girls were sitting down at the table in the room and Gamo instantly suggests that they leave as well. As they get up, Sakura and Yoshi call Senpai a wuss. Also, during this scene, in the anime, Senpai and his easel are facing the door leading to the supply room and positioned close to where the teacher's stage/podium is at, while in the manga, he and his easel are facing the windows and it is closer to the center of the room
 * In Chapter 41, Nagatoro climbed a tree in order to avoid listening Senpai, while in the anime the action take place around the school's swimming pool. Also, in the anime Senpai managed to catch Nagatoro before she fell into the pool, while in the manga she fall from the tree right on top of him while he tried to catch her.
 * In the manga, the chase scene goes from the hallway to the shoe locker area where Nagatoro hides for a moment before emerging to mock Senpai to the outside before she reaches a locked door at a nearby building and finally climbs up a tree. In the anime, from the hallway, Senpai runs to the shoe locker, but Nagatoro is already outside the locker entrance running past him as he stops to catch his breath. Then as he catches up with her, they both run through the sports field where the students are setting up for the festival before finally reaching the pool area.
 * During the chase scene, in the manga, it shows a couple of flashback scenes with Senpai sketching Nagatoro napping on the couch before he reaches her at the tree. In the anime, it is extended into a longer scene, including several scenes of Nagatoro talking to him from past episodes, such as her asking if he is a second year student and therefore her senpai, formally introducing herself as Nagatoro to him, declaring him as her prey, exchanging phone numbers, hanging out at the summer festival and when she chased him while holding up his notebook with sketches of Nekotoro before finally showing him sketching Nagatoro napping on the couch.
 * In the anime, when Nagatoro begins to run through the hallway, she sticks her tongue out at Senpai to mock him. In the manga, it happens later when she emerges from behind a shoe locker after he found her shoes there and again as she exits the building.
 * There is a post-credits scene of the Club President meeting with the Public Morals Committee Chief, who appears earlier in the anime compared to the manga where she first appeared in Chapter 45.
 * A slowed down piano version of EASY LOVE can be heard during the chase scene.
