EPISODE REVIEWS

A romance with a relatable premise, hiding nerdy hobbies from your coworkers. The anime has a lot of references to Otaku and Gaming culture, so it's nice for those who see it. The main couple has contrasting personalities that somehow blend well. Overall, a pretty nice start.

Episode Context

As episode one of eleven, this premiere lays the entire foundation, introducing the core cast, their otaku identities, and the workplace setting that anchors the series. Narumi and Hirotaka's reunion here is the catalyst for everything that follows, with subsequent episodes building on their dynamic alongside a second couple that deepens the show's exploration of romance between geeks. This is essential viewing that front-loads character establishment and tonal expectations for the season.
