About AHO-GIRL

Looking for background on AHO-GIRL (アホガール)? This comedy and romance series by diomedéa (2017) starts out like this. At its core: Yoshiko Hanabatake is an idiot beyond all belief. Somehow managing to consistently score zeroes on all of her tests and consumed by an absurd obsession with bananas, her senseless acts have caused even her own mother to lose all hope.

Also worth knowing: Only one person is up to the task of keeping her insanity in check: childhood companion Akuru "A-kun" Akutsu. Though he bemoans the ridiculous behavior he has to endure, the studious but terrifying A-kun is always ready to put an end to any stupidity Yoshiko gets up to, with no qualms about using physical force. Unfortunately, no matter how many times he tries to knock some sense into her, the girl bounces right back to her usual shenanigans, even dragging in some other eccentrics along for the ride.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Aoi Yuuki as Yoshiko Hanabatake and Tomokazu Sugita as Akuru Akutsu. This one is best suited to viewers who want something light between heavier series. The run is 12 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
