Synopsis
Kannawa-senpai is considered many things, but smooth is definitely not one of them. Then she meets Kamegawa, her new Kouhai. He's cute, a little nerdy, and easy to talk to. How will this awkward Senpai be able to handle these new feelings?! (Source: Comikey Media)

I'm so glad this got an anime!! One of my favorite manga! This'll be the first time for me to start with a manga and getting to watch the anime after.

Although, I'm a bit afraid. I never heard of the studio and the current PV has... well, it's okay. I'll leave it at that.

Is this unsure weird mix of happiness and anxiety what manga readers usually get when their favorite work gets adapted?

Also, I'm okay with Azusa's voice! I loved Lynn's voice as Mafuyu Kirisu from Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai (We Never Learn). More so than okay... isn't she the perfect fit?!

Why are recent office romances are about coworkers who are either tiny or awkward? Like make them normal for once lol.

Didn't liked the author's art style. I'm liking the anime character design more.

Finally! Well deserved. Great RomCom.
I've been reading it for years since the Twitter version.

Not the voice I expected, but I think it fits great. Definitely has that misunderstood scary demeanor.

I remember mangaka sucking at drawing eyes in profile. Did he get better?

More than 4-5 years have already passed since I first saw this manga in collaboration with another.

Not the biggest fan of office romcoms but somehow this looks really cute already and am a big fan of Lynn and her roles so this goes on the list
