| It's the usual thing of talking to a friend about your love life, but this time it's like ten times crazier because there's some magic involved. Adachi consults Masato Tsuge, a friend and a romance novelist, about his love life. However, when Zaki asks, about how he feels about the other person, he finds himself at a loss for words. One day, during a company drinking party's King's Game, Adachi is instructed to kiss Kurosawa. Despite feeling flustered, Adachi realizes that he doesn't dislike the kiss and becomes bewildered by his own emotions. Even though Kurosawa's thoughts might be a bit all over the place, it's really touching to see how much he cares about Adachi and respects his feelings. I also love how smooth Kurosawa is; the classic move of putting his hand over Adachi's on the mouse is cheesy but somehow charming. And those damn colleagues... spoiled Kurosawa's chance to confess to Adachi. Take your time, Kurosawa, things will work out in the end. This is just too cute—I'm totally on board with it. |

| Aaahhh the forehead kiss tho.. Go go kurosawa win his heart |
| It's too boring and slow for me... I wish, more happenings were in this anime. |
| Damn..I was dying during this ep. Especially when Tsuge thought "Of course, I'm a virgin too." That was so funny XD I absolutely love the tension between Kurosawa and Adachi. Overall I really enjoy it, and the mind reading part makes it 10 times more exciting. |
| In comparison to the first episode, this one was pretty boring |
 |
| Wow, finally a BL I genuinely find cute. My New Boss is Goofy was not one and as the name suggested definitely more so on the goofy, lighthearted and baity side. This here is legit. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| i'm not a big fan of boy's love but this episode was not bad first i was ,please don't do that, but he never kissed someone... i want him to stay straight but he must learned some few things so why note like that. |

| As someone who normally reads other BL manga, I was a bit bored with the super slow pacing in this ep..kinda felt like not much happened except Adachi trying to come to terms with his real feelings towards Kurosawa. I can handle a slow burn romance, but this is only a 12 episode season... My only concern is that their romance won't get "finalized" until almost the end of the season if the super slow pacing continues. But since BL tv anime is still so rare these days, I don't want to complain too much. |
| I don't know what to make of Tsuge. How did Kurosawa teleport to the floor as soon as that door opened? What was that an error in animation or just a missing sound effect? |

| I'm not into BL at all but I'm thoroughly enjoying this |
 |
| was kicking my feet a little ngl |
My Candies:        |
| Wow this ep already looked derpy as fuck in several parts, not a good sign. |
 |
| Kurosawa's patient, but persistent lol Can't wait to see how he's gonna sway Adachi to fall for him too. Now as for Tsuge...well, I wonder how it'll work out for him now that Adachi knows his secret too |
       |
| A virgin asking another virgin for romantic advice actually made me laugh. The romantic novelist definitely has a way with words though. The way my stomach sank when Adachi said he didn't mind. I'm internally screaming omg! His hand on the mouse ahhhh. Idk what y'all are saying, this is not slow. If you want some slow love burn anime watch From me to you. I like how straightforward Kurosawa is, its really impressive. Overall, this was a good episode. Idk why everyone is hating on it, so much has happened in 2 episodes where it would typically take other romance anime about 10 episodes to get this far. Y'all must be joking or not watching the same anime I'm watching. |

| @supermario4ever Please elaborate on how this is slow. Especially when the slowest romance anime to exist is "From Me to You," but somehow you gave that a high score. |

| I think it's really cute this slow paced and not overly exaggerated relationship. Don't care if it's 12 or 24 episodes as long as they don't treat me like an idiot, as anime usually do. |

| @cooldogmom No, my problem is not the slowness of the romance but the "other happenings", which I don't find interesting. That's not bad if a romance forms slowly. |
| The comedy is still going strong!!! lolz a persistent STUD! HAHAHA 5/5. |
 |
| Whether be live-action or anime, Adachi and Kurosawa's interaction never fails to make my heart smile ❤️️ |
| Art is so much nicer than the manga. Each ep seems to be 2.5 chapters and they’ve left out some side stories. I’m really into the anime |
| Tsuge and Kurosawa assuming they're above 39 as well and virgins, I wonder what abilities they got. Things would get sooo chaotic and I'm here for it. Adasawa moments are cute as always, gosh I love them |

| One of Adachi's college friends, romance novelist Masato Tsuge, he is consulted because he does not know what to do about Kurosawa's feelings for him, which apart from genuine feelings, Adachi simply worries too much, which Tsuge does not want him to, apart from being yet another virgin he is too. Also, while Adachi's reactions to romance are quite the virgin hilarity, truth is, he's rather conflicted. But a near-business client shakeup that causes Kurosawa to flinch, it's all because his client...has a sweet tooth, and always looks forward to their company's shortcake. It's thanks to Adachi's power that Kurosawa got saved, and he is honored at dinner for his work. And a King's Game where both Adachi and Kurosawa must kiss, of course it's the former virgin attempt, though Kurosawa leads him in, but gets flustered thinking that it's a straight kiss, but one straight to the forehead. Despite having too much to drink, Adachi hearing both of his heart and physcial comments, it must've been a shock of nervousness, but he didn't mind it at all...which Adachi wants more of. And Kurosawa wanting to inch forward and kiss him on the mouth, he's genuinely for real, but this only leaves Adachi bewildered about Kurosawa's feelings. Slow and steady wins the race, Kurosawa. |

| I personally don't like how the animation turned out, the drawings in the manga are much nicer, and in the anime they look kind of wonky, especially their faces. But still, CM is my favorite BL story currently so I'll keep on watching |
| I just can't believe Adachi has zero romantic experience. In terms of personality, sure. He's to shy. But there's no way not a single highschool / collegue extrovert picked him up and said "be my boyfriend!" even once! Anyway, the show's still fine. Too slow at times, especially compared last season's Office BL. But it's still early in the season. |

kicking and screaming by second ep is a good sign
| Great episode. I love the build up, I can really relate to that moment in my life when I had no experience on anything and just standard close interaction was weird and didn't know how to handle it. @Zemmm Yes, it is THE sign Edit: I just wanted to quote you after my post but MAL decided to put your quote on the top.... Anyways lmao |
