Hirotaka's brother...interesting. They don't seem too alike in terms of appearance and personality.

The episode was pretty fun to watch especially with the usual lighthearted humor. I still think this show has some of the best character chemistry for this season and still continues to show. This Naoya guy seems to fit in with the crowd.

I think he's an interesting addition to the cast overall.

Wanting to be mature vs. be kid forever.

Did I miss the detail to usual OP, or did I see KajiKaji's character added in OP for the first time?

Nice guy working at cafe. After servicing her, it was realized that they know each other. Another couple who is also there thought he's her ex. Sugita-san's character is worried. Main guy joining. Later realized they are brothers.

CM this time

Everyone to his house again, this time with KajiKaji's character. They try to make him welcome even though he seems like he's not otaku.

Sugita-san's character trying to explain about the pair. KajiKaji's character being happy in tear about them together.

After ED showing brothers when they were little.

25:05 next.

Probably my favorite episode so far!! Some favorite moments
- I love how they finally adapted ch 7 and introduced Nao!! He's such a good brother
- Nao and Nifuji are totally different. Otaku vs non otaku
- So funny how Koyanagi and Kabakura thought Nao was Narumi’s ex
- The fruit Frappuccino looks so good!!!! 美味しそう!!
- game night part 2 was awesome!! Funny how Nao is so bad at games unlike Hirotaka

This show doesn't get boring.

It's nice to have a new character,lol he was even added to the OP. Interaction with Nao was definitely amusing and I wouldn't mind to see more of him.even tho he's a fuckin normie reeeeeee


Koyanagi surely doesn't beat around the bush when it's about marking her territory xD

Great episode again with great comedy.

Hanako had them theories about the guy from the beginning but it turns out that he's just Hirotaka's younger brother Naoya.

That Pattern Blue : Non-Otaku. XDDD

For a second I thought Naoya would be secretly insanely good at the game but it turns out he's a complete beginner.

The moment Narumi said she was gonna take notes on Hanako and Kabakura's kiss to use in her BL novels was hilarious.
The final scene when we realize that Naoya is the most pure hearted one among them all. Kabakura with them sobs. XDD

Got to meet Hirotaka's brother in this episode, they seem complete opposites. Nao is really happy for Hirotaka. He's also not an otaku and is a complete beginner at video games, so he's basically a normie. He's a great addition to the cast.

I wanted to comment on Blood Pattern Blue as well :D But what were previous NGE references, I didn't notice them?

Orochimaru music playing was also gold.

Best episode so far.

Hmm having your ears pieced to look cool and try and be more adult like. To think that Narumi would meet an old friend the day she decides to try a new drink though. Its cute seeing both Tarou and Hanako worry over Narumi's relationship with the new guy though. Still his true identity was a shocker. But the younger brother sure is very different to Hirotaka though. The gaming session though sure was fun. Hanako's bold actions sure set things right for the confusion that Tarou caused. Quite the amusing episode with the brother's actions being the funniest.

Hirotaka's brother introduced. He is way different from what I though.

The comedy in the episode like always was hilarious especially Kabakura trying to be like a father LOL. Younger brother really sucks at gaming, he needs some advice. The misunderstanding scene was pretty funny.

Kabakura and Koyanagi interactions are gold, the chemistry is really good. That magic trick in the end LOL.

Both references are from episode 2. The Asuka or Rei reference is kind of hard to catch because Amazon subs are bad as shit.

Yet again, a very fun episode with the romcom elements being really well handled.

This show refuses to keep me bored and I love that. Better than most romcoms I've seen in anime tbh.

"I want to be a kid forever."

Nifuji knows what's up, that's my life motto as well! I liked this episode. This series isn't overly hilarious or complex, and there isn't really any romantic "development"... but it's very "feel-good", laid back and enjoyable.

hey look they finally added other people work you know background characters. that touching moment between kabakura and koyanagi was so touching that they didn't even notice hirotaka right next to them. kabakura's delayed reaction to hirotaka was hilarious. I laughed that narumi wanted to play splatoon but hirotaka just tells her to stick to animal crossing. I loved how everyone freaked out when they found out that nao was a non-otaku. I'm amazed that kabakura never let his guard down around nao but nao's misunderstanding about who narumi was dating was just perfect. kabakura was the mvp of this episode hell he's always the mvp.

Once again comedy gold. And here I was wondering who is it in the OP. Kabakura being a father figure is so hilarious, but that's a bit to be expected since he's the oldest in the group. Is it time for kids, nudge nudge?

Will "they" appear again to rant against the animation this time?

that aside, the episode were really fun, Tsundere couple were a bit worried about Hirotaka's brother being in love with Narumi, but that wasn't the case.

Sucks to suck at games lmao

So far, I am loving this. This story doesn't have elements of romance that I hate like the chase and love rivals. Instead, the main couple start dating by episode two.
Also, instead of doing random romantic things, they do otaku things while being dressed as respectable members of society.

When I heard Hirotaka's little brother's voice, I got so excited that I had to pause and calm down a little. Being surprised by Kaji Yuuki's voice is one of the best things ever!!

Hmm. So in the end the reason to introduce a new character was kinda lame as he's false rival (and he acted more like 14 years old, not 21).

It wasn't completely bad episode but one have to kinda wonder what's the point of those interactions and where it all leads to.

But he's his brother so I guess it's okay. Still, It would be more interesting if they interacted with some other non-otaku in their work instead.

omg i was just thinking that I wouldn't mind if Kabakura and Koyanagi had a surprise pregnancy! But something like that would probably only come up in the last episode or something.

Danm, such irritating character that Narumi, if we could get justs Kabakura and Hana with some Hirotaka participations during the 23 mninutes would be so good!

Kabakura is not the best friend, is the ONLY friend possible.

OMG My stomach really hurt because of laughing. This episode is very funny.

Kabakura got two misunderstanding. First, to believe that Nao is Narumi's ex. Second, to believe that Nao has feeling to Narumi. (better luck next time, Kabakura !)

Uuhh, a new "person" huh? Even the OP has a "change" in it to tell about the episode. And he's a good, caring person for both and Hirotaka. And the Funny MVP for the episode is the caring "father"... Kabakura. xD

The Smash Bros part was so relatable. That's always that one kid that's horrible at the game and you don't have the patience to teach him stuff cuz you know it's useless.

Thought I can't let that "I though he would turn into the time of person who was fine with being alone" slide.
It's kinda putting my rare kind in a negative light.

That brother is too damn cute for his age!
Loved it when Kabakura cried! dude is like a dad for Hirotaka.
This show really kicks in with the references here and there, for an otaku worker this show is pretty reletable for the most part, its like a daily life of a corporate otaku.
I love this show!

shit, why i always forget the airing time of this:(

good episode though, this is as far as i read the manga, pretty much identical.

simple and fun misunderstanding, doesnt stirred up way to long, Kabakura and Koyanagi really proactive about this. this kind of romcom didn’t need any love quarrel involving third person, it’ll only make people mad, even though i’d like to see one:(

it seems fun i guess

The first question asked in the episode made me think also, and said if im asked about it i will say i want to be a kid forever- i mean being a kid sure is just all about playing, and the only responsibilities you have is all about the school. Hahaha... your not thinking of any work related stress, hard to get with bosses kmor workmates and deadlines. Hahaha..

Anyways regarding todays episode is all about 😂😂😂... nifuji's little brother have some scenes for today and ohh my if his brother is otaku, he is not...

Great episode... like it
