I really have enjoyed the show! It is being one of the best animes of the season!
It was incredible to see references, Comiket, cosplay, Mario Kart, interactions between the characters, expressions...
I loved the kiss although I'm afraid of Hirotaka's pressure against Narumi. She doesn't have the necessity of remember all the moments with him while them childhood. Narumi is groing up in the relationship, but Hirotake have to forget that platonic love and enjoy the moment :P

they ever mention prior to this episode that the two other co-workers were dating each other? I remember Hirotaka mentioned that Kabakura had a girlfriend but didn't think it was actually the other co-worker! If they did mention it then it totally flew over my head cause I had no idea they were dating each other until the cosplaying scene this episode .___.

previous episode after Narumi flee to Lift and Hirotaka stop her
Hirotaka explain it with "yeah you know what i mean" type explanation

I'm late to this, but thanks for pointing it out (I missed it last week)
It's not the Slates that is essential to people. What we need is...
Well...
A small table to share a meal... That's more than enough.

That's my conclusion. The answer I've reached as the Silver King.

Great episode with a lot of cute light-hearted romcom stuff happening.

I'm normally not a fan of romcoms since they always feel underwhelming in both aspects but this show has really balanced itself really well.

For 3 episodes, I can safely say that its definitely one of the better shows this season.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
This has exceeded my expectations. All the cast have their own moments, There have been only 3 episodes and this is one of the best episodes so far! I REALLY hope that this keeps on the same quality or it can (and I know they can) make this better than now.

Nice episode!

Koyanagi and Kabakura, despite acting far toward each other, they progressed faster than Hirotaka and Narumi. They had started calling first names, and also the necklace couples.... so sweet.

Hirotaka is just smarter than we think. lol at that porn mags.

This show is such a breath of fresh air. The comedy is just right and best of all... it’s the type of romance story I always look for an never get with the added bonus of adult characters! We need more shows like this!

Hah yeah, did you notice that even the pillow had the little sweat drops thing? Hehe fun touch. She cuddles with that pillow in the OP too; I love the idea that one of her favorite things about going to Hirotaka's place is his couch pillow ;-)

But whoa, hold on guys, is "sleepover" a good translation? Are "sleepovers" something Japanese adults do?!? I can't imagine me and my friends doing this - I mean maybe if we all got super drunk. But tha'ts different. Just really surprised me that they all thought it was a normal thing to do

The scenes at comiket was fun to watch. Narumi not remembering what underwear she had on was funny. I love seeing her and Nifuji together. I recognized some of the figurines Nifuji has. Their kiss was cute. Hana leaning on Kabakura was so nice.

I cant seem to love this as much as some others. There's something about Narumi that feels very phoney to me that limits my enjoyment. But I see that I'm alone in thinking this. I really like the other couple more.

I usually dislike romance shows where the couples are already together just cause typically ive found those relationships always come off as disgustingly perfect, this show is avoiding that so well cause these characters are so damn fun to see interact pretty much all the time. The scene on the bed was damn near the cutest thing in a while.

damn this is good, this is something that i didn’t knew i need it, pre established office romance comedy is good for your health.

the comiket scene is way too short, but it’s fun, i’d like to see more Hanako cosplaying action though.

and everything in Hirotaka house was simply fun too, seeing Narumi way too self conscious about everything, so this is when childhood friend winning feels like huh...

and i like Koyanagi and Kabakura relationship too simply because Koyanagi was simply a perfect girl

Light hearted, pure (at least to that level is people of their age) and truthful.

Good friends, good couples. I'm really jealous of them but damn, they looks so happy!!! :3

Quite glad we've been getting anime like this lately, like Net-juu no Susume.

I am glad that everyone is talking positive about this anime. It is the same reason I fell in love with the manga.

Also, I am quite enjoying the fans here goshing over Hirotaka and Narumi sweetness when in reality the best couple of the story is actually Hanako and Tarou. I wonder if you guys would be able take it seeing how sweet Tarou is towards Hanako! We are already getting the glimpses so get ready!

But not as adorable as Hana at the end! AWWW

lmao Narumi calling the con a "battlefield" pretty much sums up how it feels to enter the doors every time. "Let's do this! Don't worry, I already methodically planned which order we'll hit the booths in to avoid crowds and get the best discounts!"

Deadlines are always tough, especially when it seems nobody ever gets anywhere close to finishing by the time there's like 1 week left to submit it. Good thing she has Hirotaka to help her. But ummm... I'm a little upset here... DIXIE WAS A FREAKING GODDESS LIKE HELL DIDDY JUMPED BETTER THAN HER. She could fly with her freaking hair, she was that game's super easy mode, Narumi was just trash at the game. Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode, it was nice, built on the relationships.
