Shiori acts like a cat when she's gets treated to delicious food LOL

Episode made that crane game look like serious business. With some little bit of teamwork, they got their prizes. Cute. Bet it won't be the last time we'll see them play a crane game in the show.

Chinatsu's first romance didn't last long from the looks of it.
And we got to meet another random character.
Anyway the part at the at the stuffed toys machine was funny the characters are so innocent when acting with each other.

Nothing beats a nice, chill lunch time with your division manager ... nothing weird about that, nothing at all, but hey, at least the cat-senpai is there to provide support.

And somehow, even without me reading the manga, the first meeting of Shiori with Shinozaki went exactly as i would imagine it.

Hayakawa’s Akina story was pretty funny. He's not exactly Prince Charming; he's more of a mischievous cat, lol. The dude is seriously funny.

It was adorable to see Katase imagining herself and Shinozaki as those two plushies. I loved how she turned "Takuma" around while changing, such a goofball! I'm really getting hooked on this show. In this episode, Shinozaki noticeably toned down his exaggerated reactions to even the smallest things Katase does. Oh boy, I couldn't stop laughing when Katase flipped that dog plushie around while undressing. 

I can't wait to see how their relationship unfolds.

Hmm Yuusuke's hair colour and choice of colour for his suit sure made an impressive impression. If anything the boss while kind is quite the meddler. The way that Katase reacted when they were discussing his interview sure was fun. Kinda hard to imagine Katase being intimidating though. Its adorable seeing her react to being seen as the sempai though. To think that Hayakawa's prince charming is that close to her. The plushies sure proved to be excellent new additions for Katase's bedroom.

This episode had so much Katase in her cute chibi cat form, I really can’t get enough of it lol, so damn cute. I think my personal favorite bits in this episode were involving the plushies, Katase’s rollercoaster of emotions when Shinozaki was trying to get them from the crane game were both hilarious and cuteness overload lol, and then near the end of the episode when Katase was messing with the plushies and letting her imagination run wild was also great, I guess that’s why you shouldn’t name plushies after real people lol.

And we also got to see a flashback to when Shinozaki first joined the company including his first interactions with Katase, sweet stuff indeed. And not only that, in regards to the otome game we also learned about when Hayakawa first joined the company, I didn’t expect her to be into Chihiro but it was very sweet, of course until the end when Hayakawa revealed that she isn’t so into him anymore lol, I think things could still go places between them tho.

Interesting... apparently this anime will not only be "romance bait", that's good xd

Shiori and Takuma are getting closer and closer, plus it's nice to see the support characters fill their role perfectly.

Hopefully it does not remain a "confession" and we can see more of a relationship between the protagonists.

The moment Shinozaki got two plushies at once in the third try from that crane game somehow surprised me, but Shiori acting as an excited neko is surely something else in this episode though! Good one.

Another good and fun episode. Cat Shiori is so cute, and she's so shameless when their boss offered to pay for dessert for embarrassing them that she offered to eat Takuma's too when Takuma said she sells out easily lol.

I knew Shiori was going to turn around the Takuma stuffed animal when changing and her imagination running wild just like Takuma's, entertaining stuff 👍

They don't even work.. All they do yes talk gossip and eat delicious food..
Even I would wanna work there..
But unfortunately reality is that working a job is more similar to what we all saw in zombie bucket list..
Sure you can disagree but you know it's true..

Rooting for people is fine and good but their manager should ask these people to do a bit of work too lol.

Also I find it funny how we couldn't have a kiss even in an imaginary scenario with plushies on top of each other.

Another cute episode. We got to see the origins of a few characters. The UFO machine scene was really cute, Senpai was looking especially cute!

This is trying to push the Manager x Chinatsu ship fairly hard, huh?

When Shinozaki looks back at how he's fared in the company since his first day, Manager Akina and the Senpai Shiori really look at him as if they've managed to hire a newborn baby into their department, though that embarrasses Shiori to a degree. And while Shiori may be hard on Shinozaki, all she's going for is her care, and the hidden excitement that he is her first Kouhai and vice versa, though that sure comes up with some lewd vibes lols.

After a business meeting, Shiori and Shinozaki pass by an arcade center, and the stuffed animal of a cat and dog...is how they look at each other. And sparing some time, they go playing to get a plushie, though it's fun to see Shiori's reaction, until they got both at once. It's for sure making them feel like a couple...in stuffed animal form. Shiori dressing the bear dog up, it's just like her and Shinozaki lols, the more she dolls them together, it's just the love between a Senpai and Kouhai.

Aiko wants to make a Meowtaro Otome video game, and pitches to both Shinozaki and Hayakawa, though to Shiori, this dating sim is proving harder than most since all of them have not experienced love and relationships in office before. Though Hayakawa once did...through Manager Akina, treating her like a princess meeting Prince Charming for the first time, though her expectations got crushed lols.

Workplace romances can be either a blessing or curse, and Hayakawa's shows.

Shiori going into her chibi neko form is the highlight for me while watching this show man she’s so funny and adorable when she turns into it I literally have no clue as to why the twitter clowns were crying about this show about the MC “looking like a child” even though she doesn’t and she’s just simply a petite woman with big ass tiddies (which I love so much btw)

The little plushy segment was really cute I liked how Shiori was teasing Shinozaki once again and the plushies falling on top of each other only for Shiori’s imagination to get active was cute as well too :))))

The Prince Charming manager story was so funny she really thought bro was really the one only to see that bros a weirdo living in his own fantasy world hoping Shiori and Shinozaki get together😭
