<p> ABEMA&#8217;s popular series &#8220;Kimi to Ooko-kun ni Tsuwasanai&#8221; (&#8220;You and the Wolf Cannot Be Tricked&#8221;) will reach its final episode on October 27. It will be interesting to see if the high school girls will be united with their &#8220;true love&#8221;. &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p> In &#8220;Kimi to Ooko-kun,&#8221; five high school girls try to find their &#8220;best boyfriend&#8221; from among eight handsome guys in a reality show about love. However, among the men, there is a &#8220;lying wolf&#8221; who pretends to be in love, and it is up to the girls to find their &#8220;true love&#8221; without being deceived. The &#8220;true love&#8221; is not deceived by them, but is in fact a &#8220;liar wolf&#8221; who pretends to be in love.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In the middle of the game, a potential girlfriend who was suspected to be a &#8220;wolf&#8221; dropped out of the game, and Maho Horiguchi, aka &#8220;Mahochi,&#8221; experienced a tearful &#8220;heartbreak&#8221; in the middle of the game. Before the last episode of the season, she had a chance to meet a man she was in love with.</p>
<h2> Before the last episode, she &#8220;begged for a hug&#8221; from the man of her dreams.</h2>
<p> For a while, Horiguchi was dragged down by a broken heart, but in the second half, she fell in love with another man and went into &#8220;love mode&#8221; at once. In the last episode, she &#8220;begged for a hug&#8221; from him. The straight love attitude of the MC of the show, Fuma Kikuchi of &#8220;timelesz,&#8221; said to Horiguchi</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> What was that?　That&#8217;s so cute!</span></p>
<p> He said, &#8220;That&#8217;s so cute! Horiguchi, who has shown a life-sized approach to love, is gaining a lot of support from people of his generation, both male and female, through &#8220;Wolf-kun.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;ve gained a lot of same-sex fans through my participation in &#8220;Wolf-kun. I used to have a lot of male fans, but now I have girls, high school students my age, who have become my fans and have created accounts on social networking sites such as Instagram to support me, which I really appreciate.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Horiguchi&#8217;s smile is dazzling. We had an urgent interview with her, who has captured the hearts of teenagers. We caught up with her to find out about the real face of &#8220;Mahochi,&#8221; from the inside story of &#8220;Wolf-kun&#8221; to the love life of a high school girl.</p>
<p> What did Horiguchi say when she was chosen to participate in &#8220;Wolf-kun&#8221;?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was so happy,&#8221; she said with a smile.</span></p>
<p> I was so happy,&#8221; he said with a smile.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The women became close friends the day they met."></div>
<figure id="attachment_396717" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-396717" style="width: 3000px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="d4e1904b"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2024/10/fd24ecac5d2deb085b87727419c753ce.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-396717" class="wp-caption-text">Mahachi&#8217;s smile is dazzling even on a rainy day.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;ve been watching the &#8220;Wolves Can&#8217;t Deceive You&#8221; series for a long time, so I was really happy to see her. I was really happy because I&#8217;ve been watching the &#8220;Wolves Can&#8217;t Be Deceived&#8221; series for a long time. I have been excited ever since the decision was made. When I met them for the first time, I thought the other girls were really cute and of a high standard.</span></p>
<p> Horiguchi was a model for &#8220;Popteen&#8221; and two of her close friends are also participating in &#8220;Wolf Boy. The other two girls were meeting for the first time, but she was surprised at how cute they were.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> They looked so mature that they didn&#8217;t look like high school students, and they were all so cute. I thought, &#8220;Wow, I wonder if we&#8217;ll get along &#8230;&#8230;,&#8221; but from the first day, we became really good friends. Maybe it was partly due to their high communication skills, but I was happy to be able to participate in &#8220;Koiria&#8221; with these girls.</span></p>
<h2> Even the agency supported her, telling her to &#8220;go out and get a boyfriend.</h2>
<p> In addition to modeling, Horiguchi is also active as an actress, appearing in Pocari Sweat commercials and in the drama &#8220;Aoharide&#8221; (WOWWOW). That is why she was at a loss to participate in a romantic reality show without a &#8220;script,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I decided to just go with it as it is. At first, I was definitely embarrassed because my family and acquaintances would be watching, but once the show started, I was no longer embarrassed. I hope people will enjoy watching me in love.</span></p>
<p> I hope people enjoy seeing me in love,&#8221; she says.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Her agency also gave her the support she needed. Although it may seem a little worrisome to send a promising actress to a &#8220;romantic reality show,&#8221; she says, &#8220;They said, &#8216;Go ahead and do it,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> But the agency is supporting her, saying, &#8220;Go ahead,&#8221; and &#8220;Go get a boyfriend.</span></p>
<p> Her love life is approved by the office.</p>
<p> The first person who captured her &#8220;heart&#8221; was Takeaki Yoshida (hereafter &#8220;Take&#8221;). They quickly became close during a date at Asakusa and got into a good mood. However, Take was nominated for the &#8220;wolf vote,&#8221; in which one member is eliminated by &#8220;you&#8221; (the viewer), and had to leave.</p>
<p> When it was revealed that Horiguchi did not use his &#8220;good luck charm card,&#8221; which allows a man to avoid being &#8220;eliminated&#8221; once, and that Take was not a &#8220;wolf,&#8221; she could not stop the tears from falling from her eyes. She could not stop crying.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" She couldn&#39;t stop crying over what he said and did after he dropped out of the competition."></div>
<figure id="attachment_396718" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-396718" style="width: 2400px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="0c2968f9"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2024/10/1d3ba1daa37653c7caec0e5bee3ed7bf.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-396718" class="wp-caption-text">Horiguchi turned 16 on October 10. His matured style is a sight to behold.</figcaption></figure>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He said, &#8220;That was already a lot of emotions. &#8230;&#8230; I felt regret that I should have used the &#8216;good luck charm card,&#8217; and more than that, I felt like it would be really hard not to be able to spend time with Take-kun from now on. But I didn&#8217;t think I would be eliminated. &#8230;&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> After he was eliminated, the way he acted and the words he said to everyone was so typical of Take-kun. He was smiling the whole time and said, &#8220;Let&#8217;s end with a smile. It dragged on for quite a long time, about a week.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Horiguchi experienced &#8220;heartbreak&#8221; in the form of being eliminated from the competition. However, in the latter half of the project, the presence of Sota Uemura (So) became more and more important. However, So was already in a &#8220;good mood&#8221; with Emily Hijikata (&#8220;Emily&#8221;).</p>
<p> Horiguchi reveals to Emily that he has &#8220;fallen in love&#8221; with her before telling Soh that he has feelings for her. The sincerity of this revelation has drawn the sympathies of the same generation.</p>
<h2> Even if there is a &#8220;rival in love,&#8221; he will not give in.</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I thought it was only natural that I should tell Emily. In the previous episode, Emily had expressed her feelings to So-kun and things were going well, so it would have been a bit of a shame to leave without saying anything. I was also supporting Emily until then, so I told her that we are good friends, and in that sense, I made sure to let her know what was going on so that we can both do our best from now on.</span></p>
<p> However, he did not express any reservations to Emily.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I have no reservations at all.</span></p>
<p> I&#8217;ll just have to give it my all.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> All I can do now is to give it my all. I&#8217;m not going to give up even if there is a rival for my love. I&#8217;m not going to give up even if there is a rival for my love. I&#8217;m determined not to lose. I hate to lose. That&#8217;s why I get a little jealous when Emily and So-kun talk, and that&#8217;s why I try my best to ask him out myself.</span></p>
<p> This is probably what led to the &#8220;begging hug&#8221; to Sou before the final confession.</p>

<p> Mahachi&#8217;s honest and earnest attitude toward love has captured the hearts of Kimi (the viewer) and won&#8217;t let go. However, parents who watch their daughters&#8217; love lives in real time may not be so happy about it. &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<h2> Love where you take the initiative rather than being chased.</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;ve never had a boyfriend before, and I&#8217;m a pretty outspoken person myself, so I think as a mother, I should behave properly. So, as my mother, she was worried about whether I could behave properly and show my cute side. She always watches the show on her rear tie-in, and she enjoys it so much that she always predicts what the &#8220;wolf-kun&#8221; will be like. I enjoy it as a viewer.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> But my mother also liked &#8220;Take-kun&#8221; a lot, so she cried too. She said, &#8220;It can&#8217;t be helped,&#8221; and told me, &#8220;It&#8217;s going to be all right. My mother is sad too, but she enjoys it with me, saying things like, &#8220;I&#8217;m so nervous, it&#8217;s awful. My dad is &#8230;&#8230; kind of awkward. It&#8217;s awkward, but he enjoys it too, and because I&#8217;m his parent, I don&#8217;t ask him not to watch it; on the contrary, I want him to watch it.</span></p>
<p> Horiguchi turned 16 on October 10. She has grown up a bit, but her participation in &#8220;Wolf Boy&#8221; has had a big impact on her.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I realized through &#8220;Wolf-kun&#8221; that I am a very active person when it comes to love. I think I am more suited to a relationship where I am the aggressor, rather than a relationship where I am pursued. Ideally, I would like a relationship where we can respect each other&#8217;s work and efforts. I would like to have a relationship where we can both grow. In that sense, &#8220;Wolf Boy&#8221; is wonderful. It&#8217;s something that&#8217;s not easy to do, so I&#8217;m really grateful for that, and it&#8217;s a lot of fun!</span></p>
<p> What kind of &#8220;love ending&#8221; awaits us in the final episode?</p>
