So much blushing this episode LOL

But in seriousness, Yutaka (Shinozaki's sister) seems like a mature person, even more mature than her brother. She also seems very ond of Shiori. On the other hand, this episode protrayed Shiori like an abandoned cat lol

Christmas vibes from the get-go, Santa senpai and Kouhai tonakai plus a hug. And then that cat dream too. That's naughty xD, Shinozaki-san. How is it possible for two different people to have the same dream though, lmao? Chief's messages couldn't have come at a better time and that too on two to three occasions, something's fishy.

Comiket! Hayakawa sending the Chief hardcore panels of BL (accidentally) was hilarious, and they appeared on tv too, lmao. On another note, it would've been perfect time-wise if this episode came out last week, because it would've been right in the middle of Comiket 102 this summer. Missed opportunity, indeed.

Final phone call before the end of the year, that was sweet. Shinozaki's onee-san sure knows what's up. And her questionnaire to figure out followed by her interactions with his "woman" was hilarious. Hayakawa and Chief, we get a bit of that here but I'm expecting more of it in the coming episodes.

A festive blend of Christmas and New Year's, isn't it?

After spending the year-end at his parents' home, Takuma receives a call from Shiori. A smile graces Takuma's face as his seniors share reflections on the past year and express their gratitude. However, a minor misunderstanding arises when his older sister Yutaka misinterprets the situation, believing her brother finally has a girlfriend. Then, on New Year's Day, Shiori makes an appearance in Takuma's dream—transformed into a cat inside a box right in the middle of the street. LOL

It's reassuring to observe that the series isn't solely focused on the core cast, as evidenced by the introduction of new characters even six episodes in. Yutaka's character holds promise, and it's my hope that she'll make more appearances in the future. Takuma's amusing dream certainly stood out in this episode, becoming the highlight for me, to be honest.

Well the sister appeared and it seems she is pretty straight forward especially when it comes to small things which means she won't object a marriage between the mains and is even actively trying to accomplish that marriage.
She looked really serious tho but their mother seemed rather laid back, well she only appeared in one scene.

Well, and here i thought that we got all that there is for Christmas stuff last week, seem some leftovers were turlly left, and some new years wishes too ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

But what we also got, was more of the blonde girl nerd stuff, seriously girl, if its so God damn embarasing, why even make/read it. Makes you think eh :). Also, the sister needs a spin-off, and a movie.

Damm sempai as a santa is damm adorable. Its cute seeing Hayakawa's bond with the manager improve so much. The dreams that he's having sure were all fun ones and rather vivid ones too. Its nice that we got to see some new faces in this ep as well. The shrine visit sure proved to be more fun than i expected.

Takuma's Sister made her debut and has immediately fallen for Shiori's cuteness so much so that she has already started thinking about her Brother and Shiori's wedding

Shiori was super cute in her santa costume

Damn as soon as I make a video about this show being disappointing it bounces back with a solid episode lol 🤦🏽‍♂️

But this was a very cute one. Festive episodes are always the peak for these types of shows and the same rings true here. Shinozaki and Katase had so many cute moments today. The fact they both had the same cat dream is hilariously convenient

Hayakawa and the manager had some great cute moments today as well. Relevant doujinshi convention segment since comiket 102 was just last week. I love how the manager didn’t even complain about having to draw a BL ero scene.

Katase has the entire Shinozaki family in a chokehold man 💀 was not expecting his sister to go that crazy and jump on Shiori like that. Hilarious end to the episode and I hope we’ll see more of Yutaka. She should be able to play wingman with Shiori and her brother

If felt fitting that both Shiori and Takuma would have dreams of each other, with the one involving Shiori being a cat being so damn cute! X3

This episode introduced Takuma's older sister, Yutaka, and she didn't waste time in making plenty of funny moments with her insistent questioning of her brother about whether he was "seeing someone" or not. After meeting Shiori for the first time during a shrine visit, she couldn't help but snuggle her while asking Takuma about future wedding plans!

Hayakawa and based manager also had some great scenes as well. He was awesome enough to help Kayakawa with her BL doujin, even contributing to a saucy page that she gave him to do by accident and it sounded like her book was a success at Comiket. Not only that, but the headpat that he gave to her at the shrine was adorable.

Overall, this episode was great fun and definitely worth an extra week's wait for it. Here's hoping that there isn't any more delays.

Akina is odd, I don't know what his deal is besides making Shiori and Takuma a couple. Is he flirting with Hayakawa or just teasing and trolling?

Yutaka-san is a nice addition to the cast.

The first half was pretty meh, psychic text message from the boss aside. And even that I felt was used one too many times. The introduction of the big sister was very welcomed however and made for a better second half of the episode, imo.

Tiny Senpai has once again returned to us from the anime ether, and this was a spicy episode to return to. We got two different dream scenarios, the first being the two of them as Santa and a reindeer which was really cute, I was thinking it was some kind of themed party for the office at first but a dream makes more sense lol. That was great, but the cat dream was even better, kitten Katase just takes the cute thing and makes it ultimate cute, and the two different perspectives enhanced the greatness. And one thing I learned about this, the manager is a wingman to surpass all others if he can influence dreams like his texts suggest lol.

And we also met Yutaka, Shinozaki’s sister, she’s definitely a beautiful babe and she immediately made me love her with her goofiness, she’s already proving to be a great wingwoman too, I especially loved the marriage beam lol, can’t wait to see her in the show from here on out. Hayakawa also had some nice bits with the manager, selling her BL manga together was really sweet despite what the manga is about lol, and their moment during the shrine visit was great as well, I definitely think the manager is doing this intentionally now if there was any question before lol.

Yutaka best girl 🚬


Finally back after a week off and it feels weird to see Christmas stuff in August ._.

For a moment I didn't like Yutaka but seeing that she really supports Shiori and Shinozaki's relationship then I liked her.

It's good that they also develop the relationship between the manager and the other girl a bit, 10/10.

Wow, the dreams that Takuma were a bit lewd, especially the 2nd one where Shiori licked him... Shiori had a similar dream where she was in a box as well haha.

This was a fun episode with several funny moments. I like both Shiori and Takuma's interactions and also the manager and Hayakawa's interactions (of course Hayakawa had him touch up some explicit BL scene for her doujinshi lol).

Takuma's sister is great too, it was hilarious when she tossed Shiori to Takuma and asked when the wedding was going to take place. Btw it looked like Shiori did not mind the interactions with Takuma's sister.

Well, I hope everyone does get a manager like him in their workplace, who not just NEVER make a fuss about the work but even help you in your hobbies(however weird they might be).

Leaving those juicy dreams aside, I liked the intro of main dude's big sister. She and manager already make a great pair. So need more of her.

Christmas as Santa and reindeer, Shinozaki's dream sure is not illusive, known by Manager Akina of all people as well...

Hayakawa, together with Manager Akina, at Comiket selling doujinshi, they work like an well-oiled machine, especially since it's 18+ BL work. The "love" between the manager and Hayakawa sure produced a good project, though Akina is more an otaku and Hayakawa can't dodge the feeling of her friend seeing them both as a couple. Sure, Shinozaki exchanged contacts with Shiori, and his affection for her is growing as Christmas passes and New Yerar is approaching, though his lil' sis Yutaka senses a notion that her younger brother has found his significant other.

Shiori as a cat, that is once again a dream that Shinozaki concocted up, though somehow Manager Akina knows again. The change in POV to Shiori, it's more of the same, though in an innocent relationship human-cat way...yet another dream that Akina knows as well, how much is he aware lols. It's the same wiith Yutaka, whom she suspects that her lil' bro is suffering from a case of love disease, and trying to deduce what Shiori is to him. The usual New Year shrine visit, and the juicy dreams keep them both apart...and Yutaka came out of the blue to wrestle Shiori in her cuteness, and Manager Akina pulls no punches to support their ship together. Of course, to Hayakawa, Yutaka hasn't changed one bit, and Manager Akina is a manager who supports his underlings in the most hilarious of ways. It's the same for Manager Akina to Hayakawa, and the wedding preparations...will have to wait for the future.

Manager Akina and Hayakawa's ship is going strong, plus Yutaka's support...how frenetic will it be?

The 'manager' is actually so caring when he reminded both Shinozaki and Shiori not to worry about their dreams, and I didn't expect he is the one behind all that too.

Good episode with a lot of comedy here!

They dreams Takuma and Shiori had was so similar it was cute, and that the Manager had a weird psychic link to them is so funny!! Takuma's sister was a funny new character, her personality was so out there, from her questions to spying on her brother. I don't blame her for loving small and cute things, who doesn't 😂? Her and the manager have clearly became best friends and comrades in the "Get Takuma and Shiori together" plan! I ofc support them 😂!

A sister that is cute, likes cute smol things and is an awesome wingwoman. She is perfect. The mixture of matureness and airheadedness is way too cute. Marriage beam will surely have its effect.

I'm withholding a rating until the end, since its a bit controversial per the reviews.

Personally, I'm enjoying it so far. Although I can't deny the cuteness of Shiori & Takuma, I'm feeling the connection between the manager and Hayakawa. To me, they add spice to the show.

Yutaka is already best girl of the series already and tbh all the side characters are perfect in their own way, I don’t know which one is better Chinatsu, Yutaka or the manager. Her saying ‘Special Love Beeeeeeeeam’ was so funny man😭😭😭😭
