| Rainy days and Christmas memories. Yeah, I think we've all been there, the pain of having a favorite character killed off. It's a major bummer for sure. I enjoyed the Christmas insert songs. I wish it were closer to that time of year right now than the scorching temperatures of mid May. But yeah, caught up with this series too, though I've been reading the source material for this for awhile now, before the anime was even announced, so I more or less knew what to expect. It's a good series. Some cosmetics issues at time like wonky faces or giraffe necks, but nothing major. Loving all the product placement/namedropping too, Nintendo and otherwise. I think the episode where they bought manga, 2 I think, was the first time a manga I actually own and that's on my shelf was featured in a currently airing anime episode, in this case Ancient Magus' Bride Volume 6. So yeah, that was cool. XD |
| Starting the ep with a kabedon with Hana and Naru doing that is just plain freaking awesome and hilarious LOL Kabakura + Hana = THE OTP They are always A++++ |
 |
| Haha that Yaoi moment between Hirotaka and Kabakura was hilarious. Damn I really thought Kabakura was going to pop the question! I figured he was saving up for a Wedding ring that while time. Nice present by Hanako too |

| I much prefer Hana and Kabakura. They have a relationship that is actually healthy and realistic compare to the other pair which still feels superficial. Am I the only one?? |
| That was a nice x-mas themed episode. 4/5. |
 |
| Nice Christmas episode. I'm glad this year Koyanagi and Kabakura had the chance to enjoy themselves. |

| Nice one.. Next week |

| Quite a few cute moments between each couple and the Kabedon at the beginning was hilarious. However, a pretty boring episode compared to previous episodes. |
 |
| I don't like scenes with his brother (I know he's usual high-school archetype character on purpose but that's exaxcly why he feels so out of place) but the rest of the episode was fine. I like how both pair seems to be so comfortable around each other now. |

What a bitch. They both are Otaku but she hardly understand or has something in common with him. Even so, she seem to understand Kabakura and Hirotaka's brother pretty well. Not really. You just have a too negative opinion about her. Calling a bitch is totally overcritical and rather stupid. She just doesn't know how to interact with him in a romantic way since he is her childhood friend and she is used to dating normies. Hirotaka is different since he saw her in a romantic way since their childhood so his love for surely seem greater. She needs time to adjust to the relationship. You don't want them to be happy? Narumi is the only one can make Hirotaka smiles. And what do a game otaku and a fujoshi have anything in common anyway? Of course she is not "literally" a bitch, is just a way to say. But she act cold as one, since her interest in what she gain for being with him are bigger than what she seems to feel about him. You say she needs time to adjust, so you probably agree that so far she didnt demonstrate much of her joy for being with him. Maybe it change latter, and it will be nice, but in those 6 episodes it not happened with much energy yet. She and Kabakura seems to be on the same page everytime they show their internal monologues, so is posible to a fujoshi and a game otaku to be more relatable than what they are. |

Am I the only one?? Realistic as in insulting and punching each other? Another thing is they have being dating since high school while the other two just started dating so it is not fair to compare them. Maybe not fair, but still more enjoyable. |
| Kabedon for the beginning scene, fujoshis taking pictures xD Narumi was so down because her favorite manga character died, that was hilarious. Nao younger bro is so kind, protect this guy. Such fun and warm backstories about Narumi, Hirotaka and Nao. |
 |
| That Mario 64 reference was great lmao |
 |
| Sadly I can relate to the gatcha reference but I'm more of a F2P player. |
| A pretty average episode with not a lot of advancement in terms of the characters relationships, but still a solid episode nonetheless lol |

I actually enjoy watching Narumi and Hirotaka more. I love that they don't know how to "do this" and watching them fumble it out is what I like best about this show. Every time I watch Hana and Kabakura try to interact I can't help but wonder if they shouldn't find someone else to date... they don't actually seem happy together. |

No real couple would be lovey dovey forever or 100% of the time. The cat dog fight is the prove of their strong bond and relantionship. Much more relatable. Also, they probably would not have that much intimacy with anyone else since both have such strong personalities, and consequently would be much more unhappy splited. |
| The moment I saw it was a Christmas episode at first I thought it would be cliched but Goddamn. Nice going Wotakoi. SIMPLY BRILLIANT! |
 |
| I have to say Hirotaka was really attractive this episode. It was enjoyable to watch him trying to figure out why Narumi was sad, try to think of ways to cheer her up (even taking the pic with Kabakura so casually x3), and wait for her after work, looking mad and sulking a bit. We probably all feel like parents watching over this couple. I hope we get to see them grow their relationship, and I hope Narumi starts to put in a bit more effort... Favorite couple this week was definitely Kabakura and Koyanagi, from the cute scene in the rain, to where he tried really hard to make up for last Christmas and she had a great gift for him, its was nice to see, really cute ^^ |
| Kabedon was the best part and seeing KajiKaji again <3 as Naoya was great too! I always remember Melodias from Nanatsu no Taizai or Walker from Durarara whenever I hear his voice. I like this show but the two MCs are not as cute or relatable as I thought they would be. I prefer Koyanagi and I still think Kabakura is a fucking asshole. There are times when he's good and other than Sugita Tomokazu voicing him, I don't really care much for his character. I thought he was going to propose to Koyanagi but no, he didn't. |
| 臭い- |
You want an empty box? |
| Being happy for an empty box, well he sure must be happy :p Jokes aside this truly was a great Christmas episode if you ask me, really enjoyed the development and especially that ending and the flashbacks! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Well a christmas special…and here I am stinking in the heat |
 |
| Hana smiling and saying "it was the worst Christmas" was hilarious.... gOD |
 |
| I was about 6 or 7 when I found out Santa isn't real and it didn't upset me that much. The opposite actually happened, where every Christmas gathering my family would have I would look at the other kids who were all younger than me and think "Look at these sheeple still believing in such a simple conspiracy as Santa, when there are so many smoking gun to this silly lie. I sure am smart for figuring out that this man with a cloth beard on his face is actually just my grandpa thanks to my mom telling me about it." and act all smug about it. Oh yeah, the episode itself was pretty good as well. |
| I could watch this anime forever. |
| I actually thought it was pretty funny at the beginning when the "walking under an umbrella" cliche was subverted by having both of them forget their umbrella, but then the cliche was played straight afterwards. Sort of reminded me of Ouran. |
 |
| That kabedon was hot. Nice slice of life as always otherwise. |
| It's so nice to see Hirotaka x Tarō moments! My love for yaoi intensifies. I need more! ~❤️ Narumi is just like me when my favorite character dies. I would also cry! It's so cute that Hirotaka and Narumi are spending their time together during Christmas. Naoya is so adorable! ~❤️ It's good to see how Tarō and Hanako have a lovely Christmas date. ~❤️ |

| Normies please go |
 |
| Watching this mid-October, a Christmas episode is certainly not unwelcome! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Wow Koyanagi was so sweet like she wipes Bakakura's wet face and then gave a fucking gift to him, fucking marry that girl bruh also i notice that hes nicer now to Koyanagi.Also he invited her to a "date" if im not mistaken thats also sweet. Overall great ep. So Narumi and Hirotaka spend christmas playing video games xD |

| Meh, I prefer the scenes with kid Nao rather than adult Nao. I agree with Hana and Kaba being a bit more enjoyable to watch |
 |
| In rainy season we must take umbrella with us or we will be wet and catch cold.Narume is so emotional because his favourite character in manga died.Its really funny hirotaku thinks it is funny.The Christmas Eve time narume and hirotaku spends their day playing videogames.They are truly OTAKU.no doubt about it. |
 |
| My least favorite episode so far (still good though). For some reason, I was not too fond of the scene where Narumi was acting cold, and it's because a manga character died. Didn't like the shift between seriousness to comedy, just like that episode where Hanako and Tarou were fighting, she cried, and they ended it off with a comedy. Just make a serious scene, but don't make it too serious. Make it so the shift in between is smooth and the mood doesn't change. |

| Silly Narumi, imagine being depressed over a manga character death....oh wait...（´＿｀） Despite them arguing most of the time, I really love those Kabakura x Hanako romantic moments. |
 |
| I also hate how rare gacha drops are :( |
 |
| Narumi’s Goddamns are another part of this show I’ll never get enough of. Also, Am I the only one that noticed they were singing melt? |
| Lol wasn't expecting that Narumi would be doing all that because of a manga character |

| Of all the episodes of this anime I've seen so far, this was the first one I thought was bad. It was very tedious, able to have at least funny parts in this episode. |
asdasdsadad |
| Nifuji as a partner is so damn good!! Love his attentiveness towards Narumi. |
| desu desu binches |
| Of course both of them forgot their umbrellas, just because they are not teenagers, doesn't mean they can't heave teenagers problems haha. Glad to see that there is still not a single sign of drama, I like that. |
