Outside of the main leads, glad to see a character like Chinatsu get more screen time.

The segments with their dinner time together looked like a double date. Shiori also seems to not worry about where her chest is leaning towards lmao. Man, this episode made me laugh. It was also cute to see Shori taking care of Takuma when he got sick.

Chiisan Strikes Again and surprises me wow, didn't except to see that much of side cast. I'm surprised they're taking the time to develop the side cast.

Other than that it basic stuff other than that, more development for Shiori and Takuma like the typical Takuma getting sick and Shori taking care of him. The two have good chemistry though I'll give it that. This episode also made me laugh quite a bit. The dinner part was also quite intriguing to say the least. The manager also has some wild ass thoughts.

Glad to see the side cast get more development and if the show stays on this path this might end up actually being a good anime from this season!

Truly, a question for the ages, "bears or bunnies" ... But still, i don't really feel this one, at least not yet, the first episode last week did not convinced me. But hey, more of these boob moments and i may even reconsider.

And bringing more characters also is good.

Well the part at the restaurant was funny but i have to say there superior is a creep.
The umbrella part was a good teasing move  seeing as she was carrying a umbrella as well.

Shiori having cookies as a form of thanks for her work and sharing with Shinozaki on his preference of bears or bunnies, and he chooses the later.

Being the first at work, Shiori comes in early, though she finds herself dropping a pen and having to retrieve it under Shinozaki's desk, though this gets witnessed by both Manager Akina and Hayakawa. That said, he wants Shinozaki to procure a place for a drinking location, though he's just there for the fun of seeing them both act lovey-dovey. And Hayakawa gets roped in for being the childhood friend, though he's thinking too much from it. What a supportive boss on thinking that both Shiori and Shinozaki are a potential couple, which he loves to see.

Hayakawa meeting Shinozaki on the way to work holding an umbrella, and aside from it being a lucky item with or without the weather, there Shiori is without one, which he is willing to share his with her, and they had a good conversation...where Shiori had one all along. With this realization, Shinozaki turned ill, and Shiori comes to visit him and make him a meal and clears his house like a wife, though she's the big Onee-chan type. Haha, I love how Manager Akina is supporting their romance together, though Hayakawa snapped at Shinozaki wanting to buy a present for Shiori, being something memorable...like an apron, which looks inappropriate at best. Despite that, Shinozaki still hands it to her, and Shiori is all happy for it, with Manager Akina cutting in at the perfect moment.

I support Manager Akina and Hayakawa, if they had a romance line together.

What a trivial question with such a serious expression. Nice set up for the pick me up though. What an unfortunate morning they had there lol. The manager sure likes playing matchmaker. Katase really doesn't know how lethal she is though. The heavens sure provided the perfect opportunity to share the umbrella. She really pulled a sly one there though but at least the walk was pleasant. Being ill sure turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Sweet ep as always and loving the chemistry between them.

Some wholesome moments this episode, but I'm not a huge fan of the dynamic between the two leads in Shiori and Takuma, as it's just a similar dynamic you'd see in a generic teenage school romcom, they don't really act their age. The dynamic of the leads in My Senpai is Annoying felt a lot better. The side characters carried the episode and made me laugh though, as Hayakawa and Manager Akina had some pretty funny moments.

At the moment, very mixed on the main couple, but the side characters are saving this for me.

Shiori got cookies so she gives a bear cookie to Takuma. Shiori dropped her pen so she went to grab it but Takuma is already seated and yeah. Chihiro sees how Shiori praises Takuma a lot so he wants them to get closer so he sets up a date for the 2.

Chihiro hides behind a bush and watches them but Chinatsu notices Chihiro so he says his plan i think to her and she tags along. Takuma brings an umbrella along because on tv it says that it brings luck and it does because its began raining at the end of the day. Takuma sees that Shiori doesn't have an umbrella with her so he decides to share his with her, they have a nice long talk and then Shiori says that she wants to visit the bookstore and pulls out her own umbrella. Takuma in shock drops his umbrella and now is under the rain. The next day and Takuma called in sick because he stood under the rain so Chihiro says to Shiori that she can pay him a visit and that's what she exactly does. I mean she even acted like a wife around the house for him because he's sick. what a nice woman.

Takuma decides to buy a thank you gift for her and he chose an apron and she likes it and he says that he doesn't mind having her over again and she doesn't mind it i guess.

That manager made this episode more interesting! What spices up some rom-coms is a friends who enjoy meddling in a love life🤣. Now it seems like Shiori has some affection for Shinozaki, but both parties can't seem to make an approach!🤔

Well, things seem like they're progressing quite quickly for these two.
The manager is really trying so hard to get them together.
Seeing the classic "falling ill so need to go over and help" on episode two, surprised to see it so early.

The relationship seems to be moving fast, I like that.

I also think the dynamics of the secondary characters are a great success, since they help the plot without forcing anything (at least until now).

Not gonna lie, this show is being rather entertaining to watch despite being so simple. Shiori and Takuma's relationship is cute and it seems it won't take long for them to start dating. Or at least that's what I hope.
Hayakawa and Manager did some wonderful job as wingmen, by the way.

I just find myself fast-forwarding this anime until we get to fanservice moments.   Workplace settings and educational settings are the two most borings settings in anime.

The manager is too damn funny. He reminds me of James from Pokémon with a business front, but, man, this show is starting to grow on me.

Also, is the female mc naive or dumb? It seems like she is going to great lengths to care for her underling to leave a great impression. But he sees it as her seducing or flirting? In any case, does anyone even remember her name lol.

Edit: The opening song is very catchy :v

This episode established that the manager Chihiro is absolutely based on his efforts to get Shinozaki and Katase together lol, Hayakawa saying he was a weirdo was kinda funny tho giving how that’s most of the cast in Uzaki lol, but I have a feeling the manager won’t be the only one rooting for these two later down the line because they are just the greatest.

And we got the traditional sick visit in this episode, it was incredibly sweet too with Katase even cooking for Shinozaki, and it was funny how her plan to cover up her reason for being there backfired lol, perfect. And this leads to Hayakawa giving Shinozaki some great advice on a gift to give Katase and the pick being an apron is a good one, really liked the visual of her wearing it too. And lastly I want to point out just how cute the little cat versions of Katase are, might be one of the best chibis I’ve seen!

Yeah this is already turning into a great romcom with the manager being an awesome (but a bit creepy) wingman. When it started raining and Shiori was standing next to Takuma I knew they were going to share his umbrella but cunning Shiori actually had one, she just wanted to share one with him!

Also, when Takuma was sick I was wondering if Shiori would stop by to check up on him and the wingman manager came through by encouraging her to check up on him. It was funny how her made-up story about being in the area to watch a movie with a friend backfired and also at the end when she thought Takuma wanted her to wear the apron at his house. But chad Takuma had a great response by saying he wouldn't mind if she came over to his house again. 👍

I like the cute girls doing cute things and I enjoy slice-of-life as well, but I think what I wanted out of this was a romance anime in a more realistic office setting. I came for the short stack controversy, but the story itself isn't getting me to stay.

The manager sure goes out of his way to make sure our Senpai-Kouhai couple hits it off. He even ropes in Hayakawa-san (love her design btw).

This is sweet and really hits the spot for me.
