I thought the juniors were going to get put in their place hard. I guess the seniors had to keep the secret, though.

p.s. Kabakura is clearly the dominant. He and Koyanagi got issues though, clearly unhealthy in the long run.
...but then again, I unironically like Warau Salesman.

OMG Naoya's just too cute, well, it's KajiKaji voicing him so he's so adorable. This voice is very Melodias-like. I love his voice.

If Kabakura hates it when other people talk about his girlfriend like that then he probably should treat her better. I hope he redeems himself because he's still the number one asshole in this entire series.

I hope they introduce the last new character soon.

I don't know why fujoshis argue who's seme and uke, they're both either getting fucked in the butt or swallowing a man sausage, it's still yaoi.

Poor Naoya, didn't understand what the two fujoshis were arguing about.

I loved that Hirotaka was super happy that Momose called him her boyfriend...


If only he could have seen just how disappointed she looked when she told the co-worker...

And, again, another episode where we have Narumi despising Hirotaka during half of the episode. If he is not her type why she still with him? Looks like she is just afraid of being alone and is using him as replacement while she doesn't find anything better. He should just dump that bitch.

And Why every episode the anime try to ship Narumi and Kabakura? wtf


I agree, he could probably find someone much better if he tried. She's with him out of comfort, showing him no affection...


I think Narumi has plainly summed up her own feelings about being Hirotaka's girlfriend a couple times now when asked if she was dating him: "I guess." How much less enthusiastic can she get? By contrast, she displayed immense delight when Nao mistakenly shipped her with Kabakura, but got all passionless immediately afterwards about being Hirotaka's girlfriend. I don't doubt she'd drop Hirotaka like a hot potato if someone who she finds physically attractive started paying attention to her. She has shown absolutely zero interest in Hirotaka romantically. From her perspective, their relationship is the same as it was a decade or so earlier: simply otaku buddies. Imagine this: what if it was Kabakura who had kissed her, how would she have reacted? Think she would have head-butted him? Or jumped on top of him for a ride? The girl is ultra-superficial.

Excuse my social naivete here, but I don't understand how treating her better is going to stop random guys from engaging in "locker room talk" as some people would call it.

I don't mind the locker room talk, Kabakura has a tendency to call her ugly and in Episode 4 said that he could easily find someone who's more his type. He likes girls who looks like Narumi and Koyanagi isn't really his type. Koyanagi has self-esteem issues and feels that Kabakura is lowering his standards or settling for her because it's hard for otakus to find partners. What I'm saying is that, he's bothered by "locker room talk" but he doesn't treat Koyanagi with enough respect either. I think that's hypocrisy. In my opinion, both Koyanagi and Kabakura may "love" each other to a certain degree but they're not good for each other. Forcing themselves to settle with one another.

i really love this anime... so many relatable things with real life... and so many games anime manga reference...
I also really like their relation (kaba x hana and hiro x naru)
It's really depicting real life mature relationships, their preferred preferences that different with what they got, they compromises with pro/cons each other's, they had insecurities, they had fight's, they had their own lives & friends,........and other things...

it's not just like childish love relationships that's i found in many anime, .. they worship their love, they lovey dovey 99% of the time, etc etc..

And multi-player game with max level hirotaka one-shoted rare boss with dragon dogma maker's finger really hilarious...

Hirotaka's disdain for online gameplay resonates with me.
I def love video games, but I'm not particularly fond of MMOs and other online games centered around interacting with others, aha.

Just now I'm glad I live alone...
Cackling maniacally at 7:20 AM tends to annoy those trying to sleep.

Kaba/Hiro vs Hiro/Kaba
Yes, it's the same pairing...
But opposite dominants.

While not a Yaoi fanboy, this conflict I totally understand!

Even when it's the same individuals, Narumi and Hanako are in opposition.

It wasn't just roflmao, it was cackling.

Now, back to the episode.

Finished... and still cackling!

The arguments as to why each should be the top or bottom...
The junior staff discussing the senior staff's girlfriends in front to them, unaware that this was so...
And, for the win, Nao overhearing Narumi & Hanako's discussion, and being completely oblivious as to what they were actually discussing.

And.. how appropriate Hirotaka's deadpan delivery was throughout this episode; these were all situations where that is what you would strive for, rather than it indicating he had a non-emotive face. (Which isn't entirely true; we _have_ seen him smile, and it was quite a nice one, too.)

I have to introduce my sister and sister-in-law to this series, they'd die laughing.
(Yes, they are a couple. It's legal here in Washington State.)

I like the RPG-style scenes at the first half of the episode. Hirotaka is really great in playing games. Narumi is so cute with her character avatar. Tarō uses strategies before fighting the boss. Hanako is so sexy with her outfit. Naoya is so cute, although he's really bad in playing games.

The second half of the episode is hilarious! The girls are talking about their yaoi fantasies with their boyfriends. They argue about Hirotaka and Tara's position. Narumi likes it better when Hirotaka is the dominant, while Hanako prefers Tarō to be the dominant. The funny thing is that Naoya hears the girls and he tells what he hear to Hirotaka during the post-credit scene.

The boys with their co-workers, on the other hand, are talking about girls. The co-workers specifically talks about Narumi and Hanako. Hirotaka is flattered when he comes to know (from their co-worker) that Narumi enjoys having a Christmas break with her boyfriend! On the other hand, Tarō is irritated when he hears their co-workers having sexual fantasies with Hanako. What a protective boyfriend!

I absolutely love this episode. ~❤️

Enjoyed the first half. I really liked the cartoony art style (it reminds me of Kobayashi's Dragon Maid).

Didn't like the second half.

Even a rare dragon is no match against the 'solo' pro-gamer Hirotaka.
Lmao that after credits scene, really wholesome misunderstanding of Naoya thinking they were talking which boyfriend is better instead of the actualy rotten fujoshi talk.

It may not seem like it but Kabakura cares a lot about Koyanagi, as was shown in the bar part of this episode. Will in some episode he show her more clearly how much he cares?

The game sequence was adorable at the beginning! Glasses and chibi-elf Naru was a joy to watch. Indescribable with words, it was just outrageously cute.

I like how the anime parallelised the dinners. Hana and Naru attracting too much attention at the famires with their overt discussions, while Hirotaka and Kabakura do the exact opposite by being (somewhat) discreet at the izakaya. It got a bit too relatable, as I had an after-work nomikai today, and I'd rather have been at home watching anime.

Nao is too innocent for this otaku world.

I support Hiro x Kaba, as it's very clear that Kabakura is a walkover with a tough exterior.

first half had potential (but in hindsight it was expected to be that short) and the meta moment of the cold opening to remember that this wasn't a different anime created a little laugh, but it was meta also because the temptation to abandon instead of going on, before the OP, is stronger and stronger.
