Hm so it seems like Chinatsu has a hidden passion for cosplay, keeping it a secret it from her co-workers until an encounter with herChihiro, on her way to an event. To her surprise, Chihiro show's genuine excitement for Chinatsu's elaborate costume, revealing her own past interest in cosplay. This unexpected connection eased Chinatsu's fears of judgment and brought them closer.

Meanwhile, in the office, Halloween cheer is filling the air, and Shiori's delectable treats had a magical effect. After indulging in Shiori's creations, she underwent a whimsical transformation, becoming reminiscent of a mystical woodland creature. Embracing the enchantment, she became the center of amusement and joy among her colleagues, fostering a sense of camaraderie and celebration.

Not many anime touch on halloween so it's nice to see them touch on the holiday. Shiori being wild as ever I see. I hope they touch on Chinatsu's weeb side a bit more in the future.

Well, this episode had cosplay, chocolate, Halloween theme gimmicks....almost everything.

Quite a pleaser since the week hiatus. Character reactions are still priceless as usual. Chinatsu and Chihiro also had some cute moments together. It seems with each passing episode, she falls for him more and more.

I see we are continuing the healthy trend of when in an office anime if not all, at least some of the coworkers are into cosplay/otaku stuff. The way she got busted was funny, and the way Manager reacted was just as funny lol, also, nice to see Made in Abyss representing.

The relationship between the two is going to be even more weird from now on, than it already was.

Chinatsu's secret being discovered was funny she looked cute as a fox girl.
The situations that followed where great.
And senpai getting drunk made things even more chaotic with Chinatsu being kissed like that.

Guess the world's smaller than Hayakawa thought when it came to avoiding people that she knows. Nice outfit that she opted for though. Glad that the encounter didn't change things for the worst. Rather the opposite really. The boss must have lots of free time for thinking of that many ships. Halloween sure gave Shiori a pretty potent power boost when it came to cuteness. The chocolate scene was so damm cute. Looks like the seasonal events bring out the best moments in the office.

Best episode so far. The manager is just so entertaining to watch. Of course someone is into otaku stuff, makes the office dynamic that much more fun. The side characters are really carrying though, Shiori and Takuma's dynamic is not that interesting to me. That said, had a lot of fun with this episode anyways.

Fave episode so far. Definitely the most fleshed out episode for the side characters which made it more enjoyable. Chinatsu’s passion for cosplay is really cute. I loved her Kaga(AL) one from the start of the episode

She and the boss have such good chemistry, too bad he’s too much of an idiot to notice it 😂 dude is shipping her with everyone but him. I also really like her seiyuu. That tomboyish raspier voice is so cute.

I’d say after no episode last week this was well worth the wait.

I can't blame Chinatsu for being nervous about having her other colleagues know about her being a dedicated otaku, but because of that, I really like her a lot more than before. Her interactions with her manager, Chihiro, about cosplaying was funny and cute at the same time. Hopefully she'll be more comfortable with others knowing about her cosplay talent in the future. Her other hobby of making BL doujinshi, on the other hand, was too embarrassing to tell anyone else, not even to her childhood friend Takuma.

While Chihiro might be oblivious, he did set up and react to many moments that made me laugh and smile. The cheeky brat also doesn't hesitate in taking embarrassing pictures, including one where a tipsy Shiori kisses Chinatsu's cheek and even asks Chinatsu if he could use it as his homepage for his smartphone rather than deleting it altogether. Brave question to ask her, that's for sure! XD

This is easily the best episode so far, as it was entertaining and sweet throughout the whole episode. Here's hoping future episodes can keep this momentum up!

Chinatsu is attending an cosplay event and well that's one way to be found out that you're an otaku by your manager haha.

Chihiro called her cute and now the word cute is stuck in her head and she can't concentrate nor get any sleep. The manager asks Chinatsu out for a dinner and the word "cute" keeps spiraling in her head so she makes assumptions in her head. Chinatsu is feeling relieved that its just a work dinner but when Chihiro suddenly starts saying that when he looks at her that he gets excited, her face goes red, but in reality the manager wants to attend an cosplay event. Chihiro is now curious about the relationship between Chinatsu & Takuma lol and that gets Shiori excited. Chinatsu said BL and the manager clearly heard that and asked what it is, damn. Shiori ate an chocolate that has alcohol in it and now she's a whole other person and gives a cheek kiss towards Chinatsu lol. Although she doesn't know yet what to feel for Takuma.

This episode was great, the best one so far, Hayakawa was super cute with that cosplay and I'm always a big fan of "support couples", specially if funnily enough they end up having more progression than the MCs relationship.

Great episode to return the anime since the delay. It was also nice to see an episode focused more towards chinatsu.

I like her a lot more after this episode knowing she’s and otaku. Very funny episode.

I know we're supposed to like Senpai the best, but Chinatsu is so incredibly attractive. I guess her sharp eyes and bob hair cut just do it for me. I wouldn't have taken her for an otaku, so that was a nice surprise.

I just knew that the manager was going to ask Chinatsu about cosplay stuff when he asked her out for dinner although I was thinking maybe he was going to try cosplaying himself with Chinatsu's help.

This has been the best episode so far and was worth the extra week wait. Many funny and cute moments especially from Chinatsu, her reactions to the manager explaining why he said she's cute was funny. Also, drunk Shiori (btw I just realized her last name Katase has the word "kat" in it and she likes cats) was also funny and good on the manager taking the opportunity to fish for her feelings on Takuma while she was drunk.

Tiny Senpai is back after a short break, any break from this show is a long one to me tho lol, this was great episode to return to.

The first bit revealing Hayakawa is a cosplayer to the manager was a great one, and don’t think I didn’t notice the Azur Lane cosplay lol, that was cool to see, Hayakawa honestly slays the Kaga cosplay. And later on it really seemed like the manager was about to confess to Hayakawa, but knowing the goof he is I was ready for a fakeout and of course it was cosplay he was interested in lol, rip Hayakawa.

And we got a Halloween bit which I was really happy to see as a spooky month lover, I really enjoyed Katase and Shinozaki enjoying Halloween candy together, but that ends up leading to a great bit where Katase got drunk on a single chocolate with alcohol in it, in which we saw the yuri route discussed before being shipped harder lol.

Aaand this continues the tradition of secondary couples being better/more interesting than the main ones.
Chinatsu is by far my favorite character in this now. I love her and the manager so much.
Definitely the best episode so far

It seems that in the end a secondary relationship between Hayakawa and the Boss can be developed, I hope so.

Katase seems like she's already starting to develop feelings for Shinozaki, I also hope it's not just "romance bait"; they are already adults, they would already know what to do in that situation.

If this was a VN, I would always choose the Chinatsu route. 🥰🥰🥰
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

It's fun to see more of the supporting characters. Hayakawa being an otaku was quite the surprise, I wish she had a wig to match her ears and tail though😅. Seeing her blush when the manager called her cute was... well cute lol, guess she still holds some feelings for him. It's already Halloween? Wow I wish I at least saw them in costumes, and a drunk Shiori was so precious. We now know that she's not quite sure about how she feels for Takuma, but I know we're getting close.
