Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni dake Uzai [Season 1 Episode 10]

Let’s be real—we’ve all had that one person who just loves to get under our skin for no reason. For Akiteru in My Friend’s Little Sister Has It In for Me! (ImoUza!), that person is Iroha, his best friend’s little sister who can’t seem to stop bullying him. And in Season 1 Episode 10, things get even messier (in the best way possible) as he juggles his game dev dreams with the fake boyfriend charade his uncle forced him into.

First, a quick catch-up: Akiteru’s life is a mix of bad luck with girls (they all side-eye him like he’s a weirdo) and big goals (he wants his ragtag game dev team to land a spot at his uncle’s company). But when his uncle drops a bombshell—pretend to be my daughter’s boyfriend or kiss that job goodbye—Akiteru has no choice but to say yes. Cue Iroha’s over-the-top eye-rolls and a whole lot of chaotic comedy that fans have been raving about since Episode 1.

Episode 10 dives deeper into this fake relationship arc, and the tension between Akiteru and Iroha is off the charts. One minute she’s teasing him for forgetting their “couple” lines at a family dinner, the next she’s defending his game dev project to a snobby classmate who calls it “kid stuff.” It’s the kind of back-and-forth that keeps you glued—you never know if she’s gonna punch him or sneak him a snack (though let’s be honest, punches are more her vibe).

Fans on MyAnimeList have been geeking out over how relatable Akiteru’s grind is. One comment from an Episode 1 thread said, “Akiteru staying up all night fixing game bugs hits so close to home—I’m trying to make a TikTok edit with my friends, and we’ve had so many crashes!” That’s exactly what makes Episode 10 stand out: it doesn’t just rely on rom-com tropes. It shows the messy, real side of chasing a hobby—like Akiteru skipping sleep to finish a level while also memorizing fake dates for his pretend girlfriend.

Another fan pointed out that Iroha isn’t just a one-note bully: “She’s got layers! You can tell she cares even if she hides it behind insults.” Episode 10 proves that—when Akiteru’s team loses their project file, Iroha secretly gives him a USB with a backup (though she claims it’s “just to stop him from moping in my living room”). Those small, unexpected moments make the characters feel like people you’d actually know.

The animation here is also chef’s kiss. The scenes where Akiteru is coding are vibrant—you can see the excitement in his eyes when a level finally works. And the comedic bits? Akiteru’s deer-in-headlights face when Iroha accidentally calls him “babe” in public is priceless (we’ve all had that awkward moment, right?).

If you’re into rom-coms with heart, friendship, and a side of game dev chaos, Episode 10 is a must-watch. It’s funny, cringey (in the best way), and relatable—perfect for anyone who’s ever tried to balance their dreams with the weird stuff life throws at them. Plus, that ending? Let’s just say Iroha slips up and admits she “doesn’t hate” Akiteru, and he’s left standing there like he just saw a ghost. I need Episode 11 now!

So grab your favorite snack, sit back, and get ready to laugh (and maybe facepalm a little) at Akiteru’s latest misadventures. Trust me—you won’t regret it. ImoUza! Episode 10 is the kind of episode that makes you want to text your friends immediately to gush about it. Go watch it!
