My New Boss Is Goofy

i was dreading the end of such a cute show / season... the bittersweetness and inner conflict were paced very well throughout the season, but dang did it make me so sad and emotional to see how domestic and used to each other momose and shirosaki have become (and don't forget hakutou!). the final gathering between our main cast was also so cute and fun - currently an anime only but i wonder if there's more to come for this show because i'd love to see more developments (hopefully romantic cause the undertones are sooo visible...)

everytime hakutou has a part in an episode you know it's going to be peak! he's so adorable and every time he gets sad i get so so emotional... my son... it really feels like momose and shirosaki are his dads and i really hope momose ends up still living together with them!!

fun little change of pace to little skits - i imagine this is an adaptation of the manga sections where there are columns of short moments (not sure what you call them though). it suits this show really well! our little group is so cute and why do these little roommate hangouts between momose and shirosaki feel like a date??? i swear if this was a situation i was in i'd be asking what are we....

love the little mixup of the original pairings! it really is so fun seeing the differences in interactions ^^ talk about a drastic juxtaposition lol! kinjo is totally becoming my favourite character - he's so silly and adorable and who can hate that queer representation!! him and shirosaki are such a cute pairing when they hang out!! also aoyama is so sweet - definitely made his repetitive character have more depth for me!

shirosaki's family is so gosh darn cute oh my gosh!!! overall just a wholesome episode and helped me learn some local slang too!

AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES... oh my god this is so domestic of our boys?? and a new layer of vulnerability and emotional intimacy being developed from their domesticity... i'm so sat for this

i always had some suspicions about kinjo from when he made a comment about himself in a previous episode, but it's really nice that it was explicitly stated in the anime! i love his character so it's so nice to see him getting some backstory on his previous company too!! also seeing momose really grow into a more confident, brave, and determined version of himself throughout the show is so satisfying :D go for it momose!!!

another adorable episode playing out with two date trips! kumatte is actually so cute :) and it was very cute getting to see the other pair of characters hang out together more!

the addition of a new character is such a nice touch! new group and one-on-one dynamics, getting to know more about chief aoyama, and seeing the four of them interact together really solidifies that wholesome and welcoming workplace environment - such office jobs goals!

i love cats so this episode was not only relatable but so sad :( the addition of a little feline friend really adds a layer of depth to all my favourite aspects of the show; from the relationship between our two main characters to shirosaki and the cat's lore. made me cry! such wholesome storytelling!!

continues the trend of being an adorable show with the sweetest workplace environment and developing relationship between the two characters! we learn so much about the characters' impressions of each other and it really solidifies their relationship with a sense of closeness <3

And so, this comfy iyashikei comes to an end with a holiday episode… 🥺 I’m sad that it’s all over, I’m still craving for more domestic moments gdi!! That said, ending this season with Christmas (a holiday with romantic connotations in JP culture) was a CHOICE lmfao. If you’re looking for a straight-up BL, this ain’t it tbh. But still, this was a fun and relaxing anime with a lot of Subtext and Implications 🤭🥰

Hakutou is so cute~ And the writing parallels between him and Momose are peak lol. They’re both so cared for by Shirosaki 😂 Shirosaki is the coolest boss man 🥺 And he has lowkey protective bf vibes too omg. But THAT stinger scene, though… 😣

so wholesome! this has been on my to-watch list for quite a while and i was worried that it would be corny, but it makes for a super lighthearted and adorable watch! the slight affectionate / romantic-ish undertones also really add to the tone of the show and make it so sweet :')

Aww, this autumn ep is so relaxing and fun 🥰 You can really feel there are distinct skits that are strung together in this episode, though it’s not necessarily a bad thing~ It kind of feels like reading a 4-koma LOL. All the Momose and Shirosaki moments are super nice… the ship tease is meccha yabai lol.

Wah, what a strange switcharoo of pairs?! I love the added focus on Kinjo, he’s so nerdy and adorable 🥰 (I can relate to his cringey otaku behavior lol. He’s just like me fr) And Shirosaki is still MOE as ever 🥺 I also like the look into Aoyama and Shirosaki before they got their kouhais~ Aoyama is such a sweet chief 😭 Everyone is so cute…

I like that we get a look at the Shirosaki family. I didn’t know being a himbo was genetic 😂🤣 Both the ototou and aniki are SUCH appealing characters. I’m a sucker for their character type 🥺 The wholesome and hilarious vibes are my therapy now 😭

BRUH they’re speedrunning all the THOSE tropes in this anime dang… Are we sure this story’s genre is really JUST a workplace comedy? 🤣😂 My heart is so full of warmth and comfort from watching this episode 🥰 Even if they’re a bit repetitive, I won’t ever get tired of the comedy beats in this anime. They somehow keep it feeling so fresh and entertaining lol.

Wait, I knew it was hinted on, but I wasn’t expecting them to go in that direction with Kinjo! 😲 I adore the writing of this story… it’s so enchanting and I’m soooo hooked 😭 I also love that there’s an unexpected shipper in this ep LOL. I can’t wait for the next ep!!

We get even more lowkey dates omg 🥰 Why are they soooo cute 😭 Aoyama’s really growing on me, his simping for Kumattechan is so endearing LOL. And Shirosaki’s kindness is still warm as ever 🥺 These work senpais are so precious~
