A brief synopsis of Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 11

Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive? episode 9, titled "Goodbye, Sunflower," delivers a bittersweet penultimate entry. The episode opens with Yuu reeling from Himari’s surprise kiss at the sunflower festival. Confused about her feelings, he confides in his plants until Shinji interrupts, revealing he wasn't colluding with Kureha; she merely used him for intel.
Surprisingly, he admits he didn’t oppose her because he’s in love with her. Shinji then teases Yuu about the kiss, emphasizing that things between him and Himari have clearly moved beyond friendship. He encourages Yuu to focus on the upcoming bet.
Meanwhile, Himari, equally flustered, fears she may have ruined everything. Hibari visits and commends her bravery for acting on her feelings.
Yuu tries to work on his accessory but struggles, distracted by the kiss. Rion drops by and, to his surprise, encourages him to confess to Himari. She reveals her true goal isn’t only to win Yuu’s heart, but to become Himari’s best friend, ideally close enough for Himari to share Yuu with her someday.

Later, Yuu tells Himari he’s crafting a sunflower tiara for the bet and hints he’ll share something important if he wins. Due to family clutter, he moves his workspace to Himari’s house. Despite his efforts, unfortunately, the tiara’s sunflowers begin to wilt.
Scrambling for fresh ones, he manages a presentable version, but Kureha sees through it. She calls it cute but flawed, knowing it was a backup due to Sakura’s tip-off. She criticizes Yuu’s lack of dedication and declares his loss.
Crushed, Yuu confronts Sakura, who bluntly says he hasn’t taken his craft seriously and may not be cut out for it. Defeated, he retracts his earlier promise to Himari. In the aftermath, Shinji meets with Himari and suggests she join Kureha’s agency, using her modeling success to help achieve her shared dream with Yuu.
He insists time and distance won’t break real bonds and says that Rion is only borrowing Yuu for now. Himari blames herself for derailing Yuu’s focus. She spends one final day with him before leaving, asking him not to cheat while she’s gone. When doubt overwhelms her, Yuu offers to abandon his dream, but Himari refuses.
Instead, he reassures her, stating that to build a future together, they must walk separate paths for now. They promise to meet again, whether as friends or something more. The episode ends on a tender, bittersweet note as they part ways, their bond and shared dream still quietly alive in the distance.
