Ye, Mitsuya and Tateishi are paired up together no matter what. With each episode, it just looks like their relationship grows deeper. Mitsuya in particular shows it both physically and mentally. Her room is cute though. That's a different side of her from the usual workplace Mitsuya.

Glad to see they enjoyed the baseball game together.

Hey, i wanted to know how that night ended for the two, there is no way they just ate all the donuts, drank the coffee and ... then bid one another farewell, especially considering how thirsty both of them are.

I'm surprised they didnt jumped on one another sooner in that storage room like the wild animals they both are.

Another cute episode!

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

The part in the storage room was intense and they were almost caught.
The part with Somei was funny he didn't know how to react and doesn't want to get involved.
Seeing Yui so worried was nice tho.

I don't want to be in the same department as Somei, I wish Mitsuya move to accountant department, or any department that doesn't have Somei.

Given Yui and Masugu's reputation at work, it's hilarious to imagine the group probably had them sit next to each other either to spite them or have them learn to get along but ended up giving them the best possible arrangement instead.

Somei and Hayakawa may be polar opposites energy-wise but man do they make a cute side pairing.

This show has been delivering something to sit back and enjoy the ride/night, no matter how fast or slow it gets. Also a rare encounter where anime embraces segg as a part of its occurrences, not as a destination, but the one that commences.

God they’re so fucking cute. This is the sort of romance people wanna see and I wish more authors understood it. No one wanna see that high school crying whenever a girl looks at them and shit lol. We want a dude taking this girl out to the baseball game and teaching her the laws of the game!

I loved this episode so much because it was such a mature storyline from start to finish. Somei is cool as hell for not making a fuss about Mitsuya and Tateshi dating. I knew he wouldn’t just from his vibe last week, but I understand Mitsuya getting anxious about it at work. Totally cool guy though! It’s also funny we got medakawa giving us a trapped in a closet romcom trope moment and this show on the same day. This show of course did it better.

The baseball game at the end was so good though. It’s cute how Yui gets happy seeing Tateshi geek out over baseball just like he enjoyed seeing her geek out over sweets. So many of us can relate to trying to balance the joy of watching our team do well with trying to explain the rules of the sport to your girl 😂. Jumping up and down while she asks “what happened? Is it over?” Etc.

Great ep

Masugu should've stolen a kiss from Yui while they were hiding from her colleagues in the storage room. That would've made her blush the most in this episode, and I'd love to see her blush more.

I think if they had featured Mitsuya being sexually harassed or tried to introduce someone else vying for her affection, this show would’ve definitely failed the 3 episode test

seeing yui and masugu in that close embrace was interesting

their chemistry is undeniable and i can't stop smiling

the storage room scenes were surprisingly intense glad they weren't caught

somei's reactions are always hilarious poor guy

and the baseball game moments added some nice lightness

That surprise kiss was delicious. Yui is a very cute girl.

It was Yui's idea to hide her relationship with Masugu. But she's the one who's struggling the most to keep this secret. She should trust Somei (and maybe her other colleagues) more.

I love that Yui and Masugu are interested in each other's hobbies. That's so wholesome.

I thought the two would get stuck inside that store room. That would've been a disaster.

Loving this anime. It just keeps getting better.

They really should just come out with it, and I am sure their colleague will totally be fine and support them, but I know, this is anime we are talking about, nothing is so simple lol

We got a nice back of the knee shot today, which was nice to see. It was cute to see them at a baseball game. Hopefully next week they can take it a step further with a date outside of Tokyo, or far enough away from work where they can enjoy themselves. Still a super comfy watch every week.

I can relate to Somei, he's someone who just wants to stay out of other people's problems to keep his peace, but fate always has other plans. Yui and Masugu's secret, or the baseball game with Hayakawa irritating him, really bring it out.

It was a lovely episode, and the tension between Yui and Masugu is more constant during working hours. They have to keep their distance even when they're alone, but it's undeniably sweet to watch them together and see how they know each other's tastes.

Ridiculous, the constant back and forth between intimacy and childlike nervousness/timidness with these grown ass adults is tiring, more than it is cute. I think I'd rather watch Highschool romance than this lol, hell, there's most of the same goddamn tropes used. Dropped.

Masugu and Yui are just the best couple, I love them so much!! Obviously so much of this show hinges on whether or not you like the main couple... it's really surprised me with how much I care about them after only 3 episodes! They're so freaking adorable together, and I love how they balance the sweet blushing giggling first-relationship moments, with more intimate steamy moments, and they actually communicate and reasonably act like adults navigating their first relationship? They kissed again in this episode??? Unbelievable, so peak.

I know a lot of people are complaining about how they're always timid and nervous around each other, but I think we have to remember that the culture is just completelyyy different. Like, PDA is nearly non-existent, you don't really talk about your significant other in professional situations, and rarely even in personal situations unless it's with the right people and at the right moment. Relationships are immensely different in the way that they're navigated, and I think this show is doing that feeling justice!

I mean, remember that even the act of dating is a very nerve-wracking, formal affair, because you have to propose the idea of dating your significant other, and confess your feelings, wait for a proper response, etc. It's almost like making a job offer lol. I know it's similar to other cultures in some ways, but because intimacy is very private and personal, the act of doing so is very terrifying and nerve-wracking on a totally different level. Also, a lot of people haven't had relationships before moving on to a working environment, so these kinds of situations are more common than you'd think, irl. Their nervousness and timidness makes sense when you remember the cultural difference. And it's literally just adorable, so~

I'm not sure if I'm explaining properly, but tl;dr Masugu and Yui's relationship actually feels relatively realistic, all things concerned, and all that aside, they just make me so happy; I was smiling and giggling pretty much this whole episode. The side characters are also so great! Somei is so funny, and I also loved Shizuno with him at the baseball game! (A new side couple, maybe?)

Also, it's been said already, but...




I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that.

Nothing awesome about the animation & art. Story and characters are good. The crowd noises at the ballpark were great. Reminded me of being at a game. Oh, and the scene in the storeroom was exciting also.

Yui is terrible at keeping secrets as Somei implied lol, she was dying to know how the conversation went with her boyfriend and Somei. Speaking of her boyfriend, I thought (and hoped) that they were going to make out in the archive room but of course nosy coworkers had to come at the worst time. Beyond that it was nice seeing them enjoy a baseball game together and hopefully next time it's just the 2 of them as Yui suggested.
