Synopsis
When a 26-year-old office worker named Saki Watase signs up for a product review gig to make a little extra cash, her first assignment turns out to be a box of XL-size condoms. She shoves them in a drawer and tries to forget about it. Then her strict, no-nonsense boss Keisuke Sudou ends up walking her home after a work drinking party, spots the box, and casually reveals he has a personal stake in those reviews. That's episode one, and it sets the tone for everything that follows. This is an 8-episode ONA from 2019, adapted from a josei manga, which means it's actually aimed at adult women rather than the usual demographic you might expect. That comes through in how the dynamic between Saki and Keisuke is framed; there's genuine humor in the awkward setup, and the show leans into the office tension between them rather than skipping past it. The episodes are short, so it moves fast without much padding. If you've watched something like Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita. or Souryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni. and appreciated that blend of workplace or situational context with adult content, this hits a similar note. It's not trying to be deep, but the josei lens gives it a slightly different feel than most titles in the genre: the female perspective is actually present rather than decorative. Go in knowing what it is, and it delivers exactly that.

lexaeus★★★☆☆EP 1That transition from the office party to her apartment happened so fast and Sudou really did not waste any time
ichigo_inoue_67★★★★☆EP 1I am still laughing at how she got sent a massive crate of XL condoms for a side job and then her boss finds them
dr_zager_349★★★★☆EP 1The boss seeing that huge box of condoms and immediately offering to help test them is such a chaotic start
skull_kid★★★☆☆EP 1Five minutes is barely enough time to meet the characters but the setup with the part time job review is funny enough to keep watching for now
aizen_antagonist★★★☆☆EP 1The tension in that tiny apartment after the drinking party felt so real until the condom box ruined everything and made it weirdly romantic
aizen_ascendant_461★★★★☆EP 1Sudou acting all professional at the drinking party then immediately offering to test the product at her apartment was a weird turn for their boss relationship
giacomo_357★★☆☆☆EP 1It feels like a lot of the story is missing because the runtime is so short but the condom review premise is definitely something different for this genre
great_fairy★★★☆☆EP 1I thought the comedy was actually pretty good when she tried to explain why she had a massive box of XL condoms just lying around her apartment, and it cracked me up when Sudou went from being the scary boss at the office to offering his services for her product testing job. It was way too short though and I need the full version
farnese_de_vandimion★★★★☆EP 1Seeing that massive box of XL condoms on the table when her demon boss walked in was such a disaster and the reveal at the end made everything so awkward
sailor_uranus_397★★★★☆EP 1The look on Saki's face when her boss started helping with the product testing was funny, and it captures that josei manga feel better than expected
