A-1 Pictures is back into WotaKoi territory 5.5 years later with mangaka Dan Ichikawa's adult workplace comedy! This remind me so much of Cool Doji Danshi.

Fujifabric's OP is surprisingly good! Lenny code fiction's ED is light-hearted goodness.

The newbie 26-year-old Kentaro Momose meeting his new boss of 34-year-old Yusei Shirosaki, the hope that he'll be able to avoid another boss from hell, he's already having a stomachache from his anxiety attacks before. But Shirosaki is different, he cares for Momose to get him medicine...though for menstrual pain, then exchanging contact info. Hah, Shirosaki can be a goofy boss, which hits the show perfectly,

Momose, used to being harassed by his old boss, Shirosaki is different in which he can interact with Momose freely, but mistaking a cat for a tree stump, haha. And to make matters cuter, Shirosaki is a nice boss to work with aside from his perfectionist personality, though still in his airheadedness. But in a train where somebody is wearing his ex-boss's cologne, it brings back negative thoughts, and it's alienated by Shrosaki's fabric softener. The latter giving chase after the former dropped off, and he decides to treat Momose to an Izakaya, but he dropped at another area.

Momose being late for work, Shirosaki is too, but writing a written complaint to him, he thought it was a letter, and he wrote a reply and drew Momotaro on it. 39-year-old Section Chief Mitsuo Aoyama congratulating Shirosaki for yet another successful proposal, and giving him an ad project for an aquarium, it's a challenge to write a proposal for that. So in the same vein, Momose is tailed along with Shirosaki to get some ideas, and on the way, Shirosaki shared some of his most embarrassing stories, yet knows that Momose is struggling somewhat.With that help, Momose got to work, and he passed his first proposal, with another drawing being his reward.

Happy Work, Happy Life. This series is heartwarmingly lit, I wish I had a boss like this.

My Tiny Senpai? Pfft, we've got a male version now, and let me tell you, it promises to be just as enjoyable as My Tiny Senpai.

At 26 years old, Momose, now at a new workplace, had switched jobs due to harassment from his previous boss. He couldn't shake the worry that his new superior, Shirasaki, might subject him to the same mistreatment. Despite his best efforts to conceal this concern, Momose was taken aback when he discovered that Shirasaki's natural absent-mindedness instantly dispelled all his apprehensions, providing a wave of relief he hadn't anticipated.

It appears that this show is evolving into another workplace-themed anime. However, in contrast to the usual dynamic of a romantic relationship between a girl and a boy, it seems to center around the interactions of two male characters. Lmao. Shirasaki possesses a certain charm that makes it clear why Momose is paying such close attention to him. This one is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Will it surpass My Tiny Senpai? We'll have to see.

the comedic character building was a great way to introduce a new anime with exciting new characters. very funny, and it left me feeling good. I feel like its going to have some dramatic moments, which I hope will land just as well as the comedy did.

Fujo bait if I've ever seen one lol. I enjoyed Cool Doji Danshi, so this should be good as well and unlike other work place anime featuring amusing senpai kouhai dynamics this one is definitely more on the comfy and cute side.

This is definitely a certified banger already, what a heartwarming first episode. I hate to say, but Momose and his stomach troubles is very relatable for me, if I get nervous or stressed it’s the first thing to act up for me, poor lad has been through it to be in that bad of shape, but thankfully he found out very quickly that his new boss Shirosaki is a goofy lad that wouldn’t hurt a fly.

And not only is Shirosaki goofy, he’s also a great boss so far. When it came to Momose’s first proposal for an aquarium ad, Shirosaki immediately saw he was struggling and helped him out by sharing a funny story of his own first proposal and even showed off an ad that he made that’s still in place to this day, and thanks to this Momose was able to get his proposal finished and approved.

And I really liked the OP, but the ED by Lenny code fiction was an immediate love for me, pretty much every song I’ve heard by them has not missed in the slightest, the visuals went nicely with the song too. I’m glad another workplace anime replaced “My Tiny Senpai” from last season on this fine Saturday, this is gonna be a good one I feel.

This was surprisingly good and funny. I had tears when he spun his chair too hard and wound back in the starting position twice. Same with the flounder. Was it lost on anyone that Momose was eating salmon while working on a proposal for an aquarium?

Shirosaki is too cute. He's in the wrong anime. He belongs in Cool Doji Danshi.

Cool Doji Danshi: Mima at work. But it's funnier. And more gay.

Honestly, for a Slice of Life, this was an outstanding premiere. It was super cute and wholesome, really funny and inspiring. Pretty much fulfills all demands I have for this (kind of) show.

I hope it will keep this level. But I'm optimistic here. I feel like there will be plenty of cute, silly stories and side characters to have me smiling through all 12 episodes!

So when are they gonna....y'know...
Like everyone else I got Cool Doji Danshi vibes straight from the promos but I didn't expect it to be THIS overtly gay. What is it with these healing comedy with airhead adult men that should be dating each other but (SUPPOSEDLY) aren't? Why don't they go all the way? Is it censors? I assume most people come here for the fujo bait or at least are okay with that type of thing if they watch the show, I can't imagine that it would do any worse if it actually followed through with the romantic threads.

Shirasaki's such an airhead, but an adorable airhead. Momose still has some PTSD from his previous work place, and always ends up jumping to negative conclusions whenever he thinks he overstepped.

@Grain_of_Salt wonder if they'll keep it at the slice of life/comedy level or if they'll take the jump to full on BL?? Does anyone know that can spoil it for me? I'm going to hold off watching this until ik for sure if this is just fujobait or actual BL :/ hate the shows that use queerbaiting just to get a wider audience - like... wouldn't they get more people watching if they just made it a bl?? fs must be censorship stuff

@ueda I mean it was hard to miss the 'momo/peach' theme everywhere, literally everywhere. XD And not only because of Momose's name. :P

This was such a fun first episode!! Shirosaki is so precious <33 He's exactly what our main character needs. This had heavy bl vibes that I love. Probably won't get any bl in this but I love the wholesome vibes and I can use my imagination lol x) This will be a fun and soothing series to watch weekly.

Holy crap this show's a riot, I think the bit that realy got me the most was when Momose and Shirosaki were on the train, then Shirosaki's reminiscing about his classmates and says "I wonder how old everyone is now?"
I didn't really put much thought into it plus the fact he was so natural asking it that my brain thought like he said "I wonder how everyone is nowadays" and Momose seemed a bit normal after in reaction until he thought to himself "I hope they're the same age as him" which made me do a double take and it clicked, I almost spat out my drink because of that 😂

This is gonna be one really good and amusing anime this season, might end up being one of my top ones this season depending on how it goes along in the long run, I don't think I'd ever be able to get enough of airhead Shirosaki ahahahhahahah

Ngl with the premise that Momose is 26, kinda makes me think about myself because I'm actually just about to finally start employment again in a week's time after one and a half year jobseeking plus I only just turned 27 the other day.
