| I'm excited! Glad to see it'll be an anime and also on Noitamina network. I'm guessing this will premiere Spring 2018. The manga's comedy is pretty funny imo. |
 |
| Heey this hits the spot, this is what i was waiting for ! |
 |
| a rom/com where the childhood friend is the main love interest ? COUNT ME IN |
 |
| OMG fuck yeah! I adore this manga! Sawashiro and freaking Sugita for the best couple? I couldn't have asked for more! A-1 Pictures, don't fuck this up for once, please. |
| :3 |
| Instant PTW. I love the manga. |
 |
| please no.... The manga is so boring |
| I like this kind of genre, so even though I don't read the manga, I might watch it (+ because of KajiKaji's character). Initial Announcement Announcement via noitaminA (airing schedule) |

| Woohoo - was only a matter of time :D |
 |
| Not sure bout why she has to be a fujoshi, but probably the combination with an otaku might make some funny scenarious. Also this manga was ranked nr 1 in Kono manga ga sugoi for females so it should be fine. Since theyre adapting Nr. 1s from those Kono Sugoi rankings they might as well do Dungeon Meshi, no? :/ |
| I heard good things about this one, let's see if I like it. Still waiting for a Kaguya adaptation tho, goddamnit! q_q |

I didn't score it as a 1, so it means that there are worse manga than this one, nor I implied that this shouldn't get an anime adaptation' it was just a "please no (there are better manga, why this one. Oh well). An anime adaptation of this manga won't ruin my life you know. Nor I'm saying that this manga should burn to Hell. What I wrote it's a very normal reaction to something you don't like Anyway I just don't get the appeal for this manga, the comedy at the very first chapters was pretty good, it got worse chapter by chapter I hope that as an anime the comedy will work better |
| Daga... fujoshi da! |

I don't even know why I wrote please no. I can be stupid at times |
| I am simple man I see sugita and Miyuki on cast list I watch it |
 |
| Looks great, can't wait for key visual >w< |
  |
| I never heard about it, but it looks good. I hope there isn't any drama? |
| I'm excited for this! |
| Personally I always rated Tokyo Tarareba and Koudai-ke higher than Wotaku ni Koi, all three of which are targeted for matured readers in comedy/romance genre but at least we are getting this one! There is close to no chance for anime adaptations for the other two because both have had their serialization ended recently. Anyways, best couple is gonna be voiced by Sugita and Miyuki. Who am I to complain! Will watch if it's not a short series. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| This looks very interesting. Looking forward to it. |
| Hmm... It's a nice manga, but I actually hope it'll be ~10 min episodes. Suits it better in my opinion. |
 |
| Never heard of this, but I'll watch just about anything Miyuki Sawashiro is involved in, so it's a yes for me. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Sounds like a lot of fun! And I like the cast as well. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I think I'm down for this. I'll probably end up enjoying it an extent. |

| That's great news! I enjoyed the manga a lot, and it gets an anime adaptation much quickly than I expected. |
| yes! I really like this manga, it's actually really funny so I'm super excited for this! |

| finally a good romance anime! I loved the manga <33 |
| finally a good romance anime! I loved the manga <33 |
| Confirmed for April https://twitter.com/pKjd/status/888073180610314240 |
| Sup... |
| Niceeeeeeeee had this one for quite a while on the reading list so looking forward to it since i also heard many good things about it damn 2018 is shaping out to be a very nice season |
 |
| The premise is simple, but interesting enough. Count me in! ;) |
| YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES |
| OH MY GOD YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Anyway, this is a pretty new manga for me, I started it a few months ago and it's still ongoing I think. Very funny, gives a Gekkan Shoujo vibe (but they're all older compared to Gekkan's cast) and all of them are otakus of some way XD We've got gamers, fujoshis, cosplayers, traps(...?), etc. Wait Sugita voices in here? Count me in for sure! |

Terkhev said: I never heard about it, but it looks good. I hope there isn't any drama? nope it's more like Gekkan Shoujo! No love triangles so far either haha |
|
| Oh this finally got an anime adaptation, I've seen it ranking well in manga sales. I'm interested in it and seeing Sawashiro and Sugita in the cast then watching that video, their characters' dynamic seems to be really interesting, looking forward to it. |
| =D Yay ! I get super excited whenever a manga I read gets an adaptation. |
