| STRAIGHT TO FUCKING, 10/10 ANIME. A new season, a new wave of romance animes to watch. First impression is that it's super wholesome, I was grinning the whole time watching this anime. A breath of fresh air since we got a confession, holding hands, a date, and fucking. Will definitely stick around for this anime. |
| At the end of the day, we all love watching trash. High School DxD Hero Episode 8. |

Well, after the disappointment that was 365 Days to the Wedding, we need a little breather after that, with a REAL adult romance. I mean, first conversation with each other in the house and this is already 10x better and they ACTUALLY act like adults... I mean, the opening scene being A FUCKING CONFESSION SCENE???
Seems like the main premise is that dude fell in love with main girl at work and now they have to keep it a secret from everybody in the office. Pretty sweet premise thanks to how sweet the man couple is. I mean, the way girl was blushing in the room was just..（>﹏<）（>﹏<）and even MOREEE SWEETTT when they held hands in the elevator together.
But yeah, FIRST EPISODE AND NOT ONLY DID WE GET A CONFESSION, HOLDING HANDS, BUT A FUCKING DATE AS WELL???? Though, it was short-lived, as someone from work catches them, and he made it VERY clear that he understood what was going on. I mean, that wink he gave at dude at the end says it all. But as if a confession, holding hands, and a date wasn't already enough for one episode...
.... THEY ALSO FUCKED IN THE FIRST EPISODE...????? WHAT THE FUCKKKKK.
Nah, I don't care WHAT YOU SAY, this is EASILYYY romcom of the season. Has the fluff, cuteness, AND actual couple progression... PEEAKKKKK.

| @IzanaSolos Bro you're speaking absolute facts, how did they manage to make a romcom with adults, that don't act like they're 14 like in that 365 days to the wedding slop, that are already dating, and that actually talk stuff out between them? Where are the shitty cliches and tropes, this is really good. |
| great start ed is a banger |

| @Yasminaa Crunchyroll has news for shows that they don't stream, this was not announcing that they would stream it and as of yet they are not. |

| @Yasminaa Hey, what show is your signature gif from? |
| super cute. I'm kinda surprised that they're moving so fast already but they are adults so I guess it should be fine. the ED is pretty good! |

Inexplicable said: not quite what I was expecting but pretty fun anyway the main girl reminded me of this meme lol  I lol’d way too hard at this! I know it’s a cultural thing, but seriously! Why are guys portrayed to act like the girl just asked them to consummate the relationship on a park bench? “Wh-wh-wh-what?? What will people think?? I can’t do that!” It’s just her first name bro! |
| Go to a man's apt at night alone. ckeck Spend the night w/him. check Wake up naked next to him the next morning. check Call him by his first name. no that's too embarrassing. WTF?! |

| @dragynfaerie Haha, right? I know it's a culture thing but I never got why the Japanese are so embarrassed about being called by their first name unless they know you well. Plus like what Yui said, sometimes she has to call people by their first name since there are multiple people with the same last name like that Suzuki guy. Speaking of Suzuki, I think he knows that they're dating but want to keep it on the low so hopefully he won't start a rumor at work. Anyways, pretty good first episode, I like the couple and seeing Yui get flustered and blush. |
| They adapted the manga so well holy shit. Good pacing, animation's decent, and anime character designs are so on point. Though it still pains me to watch this coz I also had a crush at work, and then she resigned, very sad. |

| @Love_And_Forward This one : Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon You're welcom :) |

| One episode in and I can already feel the sweetness from watching the couple dating secretly, office romcom like this is always appreciated! This show surely has the potential to become romcom of the season. I can't wait for more episodes! |

| A different and more mature romcom with adults acting like adults (unlike Rika & Takuya, which did make some hilarious scenes though) and still being cute af.. Not bad so far so good. Already in a relationship and doing the deed it's more about how they continue it while still having a gimmick of "keeping secret". Quite solid start both MCs are good. Specially Yui and her facial reactions.  Got my new waifu for the season.. I want to see how the interacted before reaching this stage and hopefully the show stuff about that 6 years. And pretty sure that senior figured it out. And like always sex✔️ First name basis❌ |

It's probably CR issues. Some shows get licensed a bit later but it's definitely coming.

| @Yasminaa It's possible, Crunchyroll has started streaming shows midseason, or even after the season ended before, but being covered by Crunchyroll news does not necessarily mean Crunchyroll licensed it. For example, here is their article on Hana and Asura, which was licensed by Sentai/HIDIVE https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2024/12/4/flower-and-asura-release-date-main-visual-trailer-cast |
| Kinda liked it. Most other romcoms don't focus on the couple dating, and contrary to that, they stall the two from getting together. And the way they get embarrassed over any interaction is just annoying and cringe; that was a major problem for me in another office romance called Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Senpai no Hanashi. In here, the couple is already together and thus take a more provocative and teasing approach toward each other, which makes their embarrassment cute. If it continues that way, it will be an enjoyable watch, but I'm fearful the common annoying romcom tropes (forced drama, focus on irrelevant side characters, etc.) will be present in this series. |

| @Yasminaa Thank you! |
| In today's episode of "romantic things that I will never experience" we have: |
 |
| It reminds me of Wotakoi and I heavily enjoyed that series, so I expect good things. Honestly a pretty good episode, they're acting like adults instead of the usual blushing and whatnot. |
 |
| Now this is gold. Now it just needs a good support cast and its a masterpiece. |
| So, this anime isn't actually on Crunchyroll? That's really weird for a 2025 anime. I'm glad that it's legally available on YouTube in my region. But shitty services with unnecessary region locks like this is why anime piracy will never die. It doesn't matter how many websites they take down. As long as it's necessary, people will find newer alternatives. Shame that it had to be a new workplace romance anime taking the blow... Anyway, so far this anime seems fun. I didn't expect the first scene to be the confession. And there were more shenanigans that happened later. I think the plot of 365 Days to Wedding was more interesting. But this one's probably going to be good too. I wonder if there are any particular reasons why Mitsuya doesn't want their relationship to be public. It can't be just because they act hostile at work... |
| Bruh, so many conditions to date this girl. What a hassle... Also, why is people acting like this is the best depiction of adult romance ever only because of the implied sex? Did they just forget about the first 20+ minutes of them acting like flustered middle-schoolers or what? OK start overall. Main girl is kind of a pain to deal with but the interactions between her and Masugu are at least entertaining enough to make up for it. By the way, I gotta add that I'm watching this show merely because I had the manga on my PTR list since forever... though I genuinely have no idea why I put said manga on my list to begin with. Perhaps I was feeling particularly romantic that day, I don't know. |
| Their office romance has to be secret. I was looking forward to this manga but since I saw that they were going to adapt it, I waited for the anime. I quite liked the first episode, their relationship is cute and it will be interesting to see how they will keep it a secret. Yes, Yui is very cute. The opening and ending are good.   |
| Very cute episode! Hmm same like Kurakon, they are hiding their relationship. Well, it's unusual to see two romcom anime with almost same premise. Anyways I enjoyed the episode and it's pretty chill! |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| A charming first episode. I like the premise, it makes for a compelling romance. It was also nice to see actual progression right away. The episode starts off with a confession, and ends with the two sleeping together. It feels natural and mature. I have this strange feeling that his boss has a thing for him though. Looking forward to seeing more with this one. |
| Hmm... actually, you could say that the plot is more or less the same as "Kekkon suru tte, Hontou desu ka" (365 Days to the Wedding). The difference is that the relationship here is more secretive, whereas in the other anime, it is more open. Here, the story begins with the MCs (Masugu Tateishi & Yui Mitsuya) who are already dating. As I said above, they want their relationship not to be known by anyone. This episode, their relationship was almost discovered by Seiya Suzuki, but that was a close call. Well, so far it seems that their relationship is still unknown to anyone. However, we'll just have to watch in the next episodes! |
