I'll probably end up enjoying this because it is my sort of thing but, yeah, nothing particularly unique or interesting in the first episode. Hopefully some of these side characters end up being something or other.

Cute start. I'm not gonna ask much from this anime other than being wholesome which seems is gonna be the case.

A decent start, but the real question is what happens from here. Looking forward to seeing this turn out, however it does.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

Kannawa is such a cute dork, who's trying her best. Kamegawa defending Kannawa was very touching, hopefully they can get lunch next episode.

The Senpai masks vulnerability with cool bravado.
It’s the anime version of duct-taping true feelings and calling it “growth.”

If I were in Kamegawa's shoes, having a supervisor like Kannawa would suck major ass tbh 😭, but he's too genuinely good of a kid, and all things considered her girlfailure tsundere nature is somehow quite endearing, overall just a nice SoL episode, I do like the aesthetics esp the unique hair colors of the characters

The manga is so cute so I'm kinda disappointed how the first episode looked. Really hope it improves so it can do the fluff justice!

A pretty good first impression from watching episode 1. The plot is also quite interesting.
After getting quite bored with high school romance, finally there’s a romance anime that suits adults like me.
For manga and anime creators, it’s about time to create stories with adult main characters. We anime fans who were born in the early 2000s are adults now.

The MC of this anime, Kannawa Azusa, is quite an interesting character. There really are many people in the working world who struggle to communicate well. Although she seems harsh, she’s actually well-intentioned.

I’ll definitely keep watching this anime.

These office romance animes are used as propaganda to force otakus to join the office workforce and find their significant other in the workplace.

"You're in the way. Move."
"I did it! I greeted him properly! >.<"

She's so cute. When I first saw her blended hair color and pink eyes, I immediately thought of Marin Kitagawa lol.
I'm not hard to entertain, but I know what a decent show is, and this is one of em. I look forward to seeing more.

the art quality is acceptable but other than that the music is nothing to note and the plot is super cliche at best... 5/10 at the most for now, unless they play well with their workplace romance card and the gap Moe card... :/

Man the art direction could be better. It didn't capture the manga's design at all, and it looks cheaply made. Couldn't finish the first episode, a shame cause the manga before serialization had something unique to it, the serialized version also lost that charm too, and it didn't translate well in anime medium as well. This is gonna be a boring series, easily forgettable by episode 5, and nobody would talk about it by then. Max 2 pages of discussion even on here, bag and tag me, quote me on this.


Easy pass.

I love office romances, they're my favourite.

Kannawa-senpai is so pretty! She always looks angry, but the truth is she's just bad at communicating. She's actually very kind, and even adorable. What a great moment when Kamegawa defended her from those rude colleagues.

It started off pretty normal, but nice and relaxing. I guess when Kannawa finally manages to invite Kamegawa out for lunch, the romance will start to heat up.

They lied. Offices aren't like this.

Quality is serviceable but it was a fun episode. I don't mind two tone hair color or double hair color trend, but guys just aren't made for it, even worse with green? Who'd hire a guy with hair like that lmao.

Lynn is perfect playing as the senpai. Literally made for her.

Hurray for more coworker romance anime! I don't know if it's going to be as good as I Have a Crush at Work but so far I'm hooked.

The OP is so good. Something feels a bit nostalgic about it. The ED was great too.

I didn't think Kannawa would be so... beautiful. And her personality makes her so cute. Ice queen on the outside but awkward on the inside. I like that the show's from her perspective. I wanna see her improve.

After watching the cringe that was My Friend's Little Sister this feels like the cure I needed. Loved it. Can't wait for more.

Her awkwardness was hit and miss when it comes to coming off as cute/funny. I think if she just incorporated typical business formalities into her interactions with coworkers she'd automatically come off as more friendly. She seems to be at least some adept at those formalities, considering her meeting went well.

W kouhai move at the end though, I was starting to think he would just exist for the entire episode without doing much.

Judging from the first episode there's barely anything to make it worth watching. Everything seemed generic to me, animation, pacing, soundtrack, characters. Really bland but not to the point of being outright bad.

mmmkaayy? if she's bad at communicating... why did she get into Public Relations to start with? PR is about spin doctoring, fluffery, puffery, and putting on a pretty show n dance. all in order to make the public feel, think, and spend their money the way the corporation wants them to. basically, she is in the ENTIRELY wrong field for a bad communicator.

also, who tha hell in Japanese corpo society dresses like that to visit a client and have a meeting? she's WAY too flashy and gyaru even at the home office. unless her company is massively Westernized and insanely progressive? sure, game designers (and their companies) are a quirky and modern lot. but their company has moved beyond just that field and expanded massively into other parts of the business world. but looking at her co-workers in the PR Dept. only one guy is all 'salaryman suit and tie'... the girls are all 'street casual' and even their boss is just dress-short sleeves n a tie with slacks. so maybe their corp is just that 'laid-back'?

well, i'm trying this one out just for curiosity's sake. i don't know if it will pass 'The Three Episode Rule' just yet.

seems like this could be quite cute and funny.
this episode felt a bit long though...

why hasnt mal set how many episodes this has? its '?' right now
@HiljainenSipuli probably because whichever sources MAL is getting the scheduling from Japan don't have the info either. not EVERY anime freshly released has a set episode count publicly announced by Day 1.
