| I love this anime, but deep down I think the relationship between these two still is kinda weird. I really like how the show is very careful not too overly sexualize anything though. |
| Yuuto uses his wingman skill unconsciously. It's super effective! Tachibana fainted. |
| While this episode didn't have as much going on as the previous two episodes, it still managed to develop its characterrs quite nicely by showing us the Kondou's home, and his relationship with his son Yuto, who was absolutely adorable, and actually acted the way a kid would act. The more comedy slice-of-life was also used nicely to give a breather from the slightly more pensive character drama. I have said this once and I will say this again, but this show is absolutely masterful at presenting its character in a nuanced manner through their interactions with the environment and subtle gestures. The inclusions of Tachibana rearranging the shoes when entering the house, Kondou's choosing to eat the fast food that he bought instead of the omelette, and Yuto slightly spilling the tea as he poured into a glass were all extremely charming, and gave us more insight into these characters as people, rather than just figures placed in the story to progress the plot. Tachibana seeing the magic tricks book on Kondou's shelf and reflecting back tn the coffee creamer when she first fell for Kondou was also a really nice touch. This show continues to surprise me every week that I come back to it, and I hope it keeps up its attention to detail and supreme directing. I would like to also mention that this show's uses its music and soundtrack sparingly, but to a very effect degree to heighten certain emotions in scenes. Some scenes have any background music or sounds purposely omitted to only having the character talking in order to heighten the feeling of tension and awkwardness, such as the final couple of minutes of this episode. I found this to be quite brilliant. |
 "Anime is trash and so am I." |
| Shes going to treasure that shirt for years to come. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Kondou is still so funny lol. His kid is really likeable too. Akira was jealous there in the end, although I think it was fun that Kondou managed to have a good conversation with the staff. Another relaxing and enjoyable episode |
MaahHeim said: .. The one thing that bothered me this episode was that I felt kinda bad that Tachibana was all jealous of the tenchou being happy with their coworkers. I mean, she was right that they should go back to work, I know how it feels, but at the same time she was super jealous and I thought she was a bit selfish since all the manager wanted was to be friendly with his employees. BUT tenchou's reaction, the blushing face and the "okay" made me think that he understood her feelings and actually didn't mind at all. Adorable. Ending felt a little out of place there, but anyway. Just give me more, this is too good. I thought of this scene a little differently. While there might be a little jealousy in the "Mr. Kondo is mine" kinda way. Her last lines are what made it make sense. From the start she wanted to be the one there for him. there is the jealousy there but it just stems from her wanting that closer connection to him. Imagine her writing that note to him with the things he needs for the hamster and thinking about it in her head on the way to work. She grows these thoughts and expectation and hopes that she can use this to stay close to him and learn more about him(expressed, boldly, earlier in the show). So she gets there, reaches for the note ready to throw herself in there(because courageous she does not lack). Then one coworker after another sweeps that rug underneath her since apparently everyone has had a hamster before. That twinge of pain that maybe she won't have what she hoped for.... Man if that isn't Relatable as hell. I know you weren't complaining that hard just wanted to throw that thought out there, because I adore this show so far. Excellent writing and directing. |
| I felt like the ep was a bit to constructed. Especially the whole hiding in the closet thing. Also the staff going ham about the hamster seemed to be a bit over the top. |

Yeah, I've been loving it as well, best show this season for me so far. And I get what you mean, I just didn't like the way she exploded when seeing he smiling and stuff, but yeah, as I said, acting selfish seems pretty normal, mostly in this case, when shes in love, hes not giving her the attention she wants, and this being a reason for her to get closer to him. Plus the fact that anyone was paying attention to their JOB because of the hamster. Damn, I guess I would be pissed too (maybe Id be too shy to explode, but thats not Tachibana's personality - which, honestly, its a great and refreshing thing). Aside from that, I really loved how we got to know more of Kondou's life, like, that he loves to read and things like that. If he wants to be a writer, I think Tachibana may somehow inspire him to do so and things like that... Anyway, thank you for sharing your point of view ♡ Let's hope for more Tachibana x Kondou momentsss. Tenchou blushed this time, I am optimistic about their relationship and all. |
 |
| This episode had some really beautiful scenes again. I feel like nothing really happened this time though. @duderus Thank you for the beautiful gifs! |
| I will never get over how amazing the ending is. Aimer's voice is just so perfect for a series like this. |
 |
| Whoa I am surprised people like Yuto, thought he was quite irritating. Oh well, not my favorite episode so far, found it a bit too over-the-top. |
 |
| Tachibana is definitely the type of girl you'd want to avoid getting into a relationship with.... |
 |
| Ah, this was so nice already in the manga, but Akira's beautifully animated eyes may just have made it even better in the anime. ^_^ |
 |
| maan do i love this |
| Wow, normally I don't really like kids in anime but Yuuto is actually pretty great. Seeing him interact with Kondou was nice too. Akira certainly is getting to know him better ... well, through some interesting methods XD Seeing Kondou get all excited because of everyone else paying attention to him at work was pretty cute lol, even if it was just because of the hamster :P |
| Oh Man! Akira keeps getting more beautiful each passing episode! Tenchou is so lucky a very young beautiful girl is rightfully in love with him! Tachibana finally invades the residence apato of Tenchou! oh that Hamster so cute! Sweating with blush Akira...she's so hot! literally HOT. on the 10:55 part she looks so damn hell sexy! and see-through wet back bra was hot as well! Tachibana so happy because she's wearing the tshirt of Tenchou! Yui is cute as well when she said smelly! lolz! Tachibana can be scary strict as well! 5/5. |
 |
| Interesting to discover the hidden sides of Kondo's character, just as it was surprising to see him in his private life, what a change! Amusing the second part of the narration, especially the reflection of Kondo on his way of relating to others. Akira proves even more jealous than I imagined. The narrative was dotted with so many little moments of romance, that cute! |
 |
| So far so good ) Nothing special though. But nice. |
| Good episode as usual. Thought she would pass out in the closet. |
 |
| The closet thing made sense to me because Yuto is a kid. He wanted to prank his dad, then forgot all about her (kids are easily distracted by food and such). Also, people complaining about Tsubu and the reaction from the coworkers have clearly never been in a working environment where everyone forgets all about work because of someone's cat/dog/baby, lol. That being said it was pretty dumb of Tachibana to agree to hide in a goddamn closet in the middle of summer. But since Kondo was coming, she got nervous and agreed to it in a panic, so I understand why it happened. Anyway, GREAT episode, especially after the previous one which left a bad taste in my mouth. I can't stand that Kase fool. |
| I'm guessing Kondou-san smells like cigarette smoke and that's why Yui says he stinks. |
 |
| So the hamster took the spotlight , i just wonder how things gonna work out between them , the problem will be mainly from how society views them . Im absolutely gonna see the manga after the anime end |
Stormen said: Farabeuf said: I loved how she got jealous of the rest of the staff. They're pretty cute together. I think it made her look like a really shitty character tbqh. This poor old guy has no connection to his staff, no friends aparantly and finally found a way to connect with them (even if just for the hamster) and there she bursts in and ruins it because of petty jealousy because she didn't get his full attention. NOT waifu material, that's for sure. While there may have been a bit of jealousy involved there, the main reason for her anger was the restaurant being left completely empty of any staff other than her, though. She was already angry, and with reason, before she found out why exactly she had been left alone there. |

| OMFG! This episode was so heartwarming! :D |
| So the kid lives with his mom. He wants his dad to keep Tsubu so he could visit more. I like Kondo more than Akira. He doesn't take advantage of her. He's very kind, considerate, understanding, he can be dense and somewhat aloof but he's such a good guy. He's pure, friendly and despite being hurt by his divorce and all, he's a genuinely awesome guy. Akira can be bitchy, pushy and inconsiderate which makes me dislike her at times. Akira got stupidly jealous again. I feel sorry for Kondo, he just wants to get along with his employees and have a nice conversation with them but Akira, the possessive bitch with a limp, couldn't handle that. |
| 臭い- |
| So straightforward. Really refreshing actually. Makes the experience way more unique |
| Kid was cute when he showed everyone the hamster, when he said he wanted to visit his dad more, and when he had to apologize and was about to cry haha. Yuuto's a good kid. Tsubu is Kondo's MVP Tsubu >>>>> business books |
| So if Yuto came to the restuarant all by himself, why does he need Tachiabana to accompany him to his dad...? Plot hole! I think this show would be better if it was focused on Yuto and his dad, tbh the kid is way more adorable and interesting than Tachibana. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Thoughts so far: This is very engrossing, I think the visuals and character's expressiveness help with that. So far, the expressions of emotions from the characters are more interesting than any single aspect of the romance. Our old man has more character than Akira does, which might be on purpose? This is obviously written for a certain demographic, otherwise he'd be absolutely insufferable. Haruka is cute. Only complaint is that it feels scripted, no scene is unnecessary, which makes it hard to see Akira as a girl who does things other than being in love. |
| Between the domestic feat and the hand of jealously over her coworkers. The episode seemed quite lax. A nice break. Kondo break through that he never needed his business books ALL HE NEEDED WAS A HAMSTER. I died laughing. |
 |
| Well that was quite lovely and fun, really loved that first part! Looking forwards to see what's next. |
 |
| An episode dedicated to Kondo's personal life. It was nice and there's some funny scenes lmao. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Lel now Tachibana's been into his house! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Good and cute episode, Tachibana in the closet was fun, but not really for her lol |
 |
Fun and lively scene with manager and all the workers heheh. Oh this is seinen and not shoujo, no wonder there are lots of good fanservice shots. |
 |
| It's the small things about this show that makes me come to like it. When Akira first came to his apartment, she took a look at everything with so much detail that the little dust particles are actually visible. |
 |
| What a lovely episode, and we also got to know a little bit more about Kondou |
 |
| Miss Akira marking her territory .I loved the chemistry between tencho's son and her. |
| Wow, Tachibana is displaying more and more the traits of some sick f***. That last bit of her shooing all the other cooworkers for (finally) paying attention to their manager was just another red flag |
