"What a villainous face! lol" Akane starts her part-time job at an izakaya, but her "intense facial expressions" trigger explosive laughter! Anime "Akane-banashi" Episode 3

In the third episode of the anime "Akane-banashi," which aired late on the night of April 18, Akane Ōsaki (CV: Anna Nagase) began working part-time at an izakaya. However, Akane’s over-enthusiasm led her to approach customers with a "villainous face," prompting viewers to laugh and comment, "That is definitely not a face a heroine should be making lol" and "That's terrifying lol."

In Episode 3, "Senior Apprentice," Akane joins the Shiguma school as an apprentice. Kyoji Arakawa (CV: Yōhei Azakami) is assigned to be her mentor. During this time, Akane performs rakugo in front of people again but fails to get the reaction she hoped for. Kyoji points out that she was too focused on showing off her own skills and hadn't considered the audience at all, stating, "Your rakugo is utterly selfish." He tells her to look more toward the outside world and instructs her to take a part-time job at an izakaya.

Akane immediately starts working at the izakaya, eager to learn things from the service industry that she can apply to rakugo. However, her excessive motivation causes her to press customers with wide eyes and a terrifying expression, leaving them bewildered.

Regarding Akane’s intense way of serving customers, viewers online erupted in laughter, with comments like: "That's terrifying lol," "She's making such a villainous face lol," "The customers are visibly backing away LMAO," and "That is definitely not a face a heroine should be making lol."
