Hands Off: Sawaranaide Kotesashi-kun Episode 10 Review – Chaos, Massages, and Magical Girls? Sign Me Up!

Okay, let’s cut to the chase: Sawaranaide Kotesashi-kun Episode 10 is the kind of anime episode that makes you go, “Wait, what just happened?”—but in the absolute best way possible. If you’re into slice-of-life vibes mixed with random, over-the-top twists (and who isn’t, honestly?), this one’s a must-watch for anyone under 20 who loves their anime with equal parts heart and chaos.

First, a quick recap for anyone who’s just jumping in: Koyo Kotesashi is a freshman at Seiwa University Affiliated High School, a total powerhouse for athletes. His secret weapon? Insane massage skills that make even the toughest jocks melt like butter. He’s working as the dorm manager there to score a scholarship to med school (since he’s from a poor family), and every episode balances his dream with the wild, close-quarters life of living with a bunch of competitive teens.

Episode 10 dives right into the thick of things with intense training montages that’ll make you feel like you’re right there on the field. The volleyball team’s spike drills are brutal—players are diving for balls until their knees are scraped, and their shoulders are tight enough to crack. The track team’s sprinting laps until their legs shake. But Koyo’s always in the background, ready to step in with his magic fingers. One scene shows him kneading out a volleyball player’s calf, and you can almost feel the tension leaving her body as she sighs in relief. It’s small moments like this that remind you why Koyo’s so likable—he’s not just chasing a scholarship; he genuinely cares about the athletes he’s helping.

Then there’s the dorm life chaos. Picture this: three guys trying to sneak a pizza into the dorm after curfew, hiding it under a blanket like it’s a top-secret mission. Koyo walks in, smells the cheese, and instead of yelling, he grins and says, “Can I have a slice if I don’t tell the RA?” It’s the kind of silly, relatable moment that makes you laugh—because who hasn’t tried to sneak snacks past authority figures? The dorm feels like a messy, loud, loving family, and Episode 10 nails that vibe perfectly.

But the real star of the episode is the totally out-of-left-field twist: the interrogation room scene and the magical girl transformation. Let’s set the scene: Izumi (one of the dorm residents) is in a room that looks straight out of a spy movie, being questioned about… something (we won’t spoil the details). Then, out of nowhere, there’s a flash of pink light, and she’s standing there in a frilly blue-and-pink outfit, holding a wand, and yelling, “I am Care Spring!” The other characters stare at her like she’s lost her mind—and honestly, we were too. But here’s the thing: it’s so random and over-the-top that it works. Fans on MyAnimeList were buzzing about this part; one comment said, “I didn’t see that magical girl twist coming at all—best part of the episode!” Another joked about the interrogation room setup being way too dramatic for a high school dorm.

What makes Episode 10 so great is how it balances all these elements: the serious (Koyo’s med school dream, the athletes’ hard work) with the silly (pizza heists, magical girl transformations). It never takes itself too seriously, but it still has heart. You root for Koyo to get his scholarship, you laugh at the dorm’s chaos, and you gasp at the wild twists.

If you’re looking for an anime that’s fun, lighthearted, and full of surprises, Sawaranaide Kotesashi-kun is definitely worth checking out. Episode 10 is a perfect example of why this series stands out—because it’s not afraid to be weird, and it’s all the better for it. Can’t wait to see what crazy thing happens next (fingers crossed for more magical girl moments!).

Final thought: Grab some snacks, sit back, and let Episode 10 take you on a ride—you won’t regret it.
