If you were left wanting more of My New Boss is Goofy from last season, then I've got just the perfect anime for you.

Meet Adachi Kiyoshi, a thirty-year-old who hasn't ventured into the realm of romantic relationships. In an unexpected twist, he discovers a unique ability to tune into people's thoughts through touch. During a chance encounter with his charming colleague, Kurosawa Yuichi, Adachi stumbles upon the revelation that Kurosawa has a significant crush on none other than Adachi himself. Brace yourselves for an impending wave of awkwardness as their story unfolds.

When I first saw this title, I was a bit skeptical – the main character gets mind-reading powers because of his virginity, which raised some concerns for me as someone who values healthy romances. I was afraid the main character might be treated poorly or made fun of. However, the story pleasantly surprised me. It doesn't mock Adachi for his virginity or suggest he's any less. (At least, not yet.) He's handled with respect, and the focus on consent and communication in the story really stood out to me. That's what made me genuinely enjoy this episode.

A BL in 2024, not something you see often these days, and we've got a seriously spicy one. This is gonna be a blast.

This is so sweet, though I'm wondering that if Kurosawa is virgin too (I assume) then what's his power. The answer may lie in the opening song sequnce but I'm not sure about that bird thing so I'll looking forward to seeing it in action.

As a fan of the manga, it was very enjoyable. There were definately stilted shots in several places, but it didn't distract from everything else. The sub quality could've been better too.

I love those boys, their first interactions may have been awkward, but they have good chemistry. Kurosawa's internal thoughts and screams were great. Adachi was so cute and shy.
I gotta prise the varity in animation styles, from chibi to "bishounen version", they helped this episode feel dynamic.

Big props to whoever made OP and ED too, OP is something I wasn't expecting to see in a romcom, the symbolism was nice. ED looked very romantic(also I never knew I wanted to see Adachi in a wet T-shirt).

It was better than I expected! Looking forward to ep 2.

First episode was really good. Very cute start with a bit of a heartbreaking cliffhanger. I'm expecting the depressing vibe to be temporary, of course. The premise, though admittedly ridiculous, pays off through the comedy brought on by the mind reading.

I didn't expect to see something attempting to fill the void My Boss is Goofy left so quickly, especially not judging by the title. Not as ridiculously cute, but it has it's charm and it's actual BL.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

That was a nice 1st episode. But I feel so bad for Kurosawa. Everyone thinks he's that super-confident , cool guy, but really he's permanently scared to express his true feelings and doesn't know what to do. And Adachi simply isn't gay (as of now), so that's "bad", too. I hope Adachi simply tells Kurosawa that he's not gay but appreciates his feelings and then they can somehow become good friends without any deception.
If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you.

My New Boss is Goofy if it was GOOD (joking) fun little BL. They are cute and has a supernatural twist to it as well. MC with the added insecurity of not being in a relationship his entire life. And the stinger after the credits for whoever that guy is. Promising since there hasn’t been a ton of BL recently.

Ah, there it is. Skill issue tbh. Straight men aren't required to hate "gay things", you know.

Super fun and adorable first ep. VA line-up is pretty solid too for a more niche genre like BL. The ending had me feeling sad even tho I’m sure things will be fine next episode. I’m too gullible for those stuff lmao.

I rarely watch BL anime but this was a nice little treat tbh.

Funny, wholesome and good romantic vibes.

I like kurosawa hes just so sweet and all rounder husbando and i felt so bad for him at the end of the episode. But i get where adachi is coming from with his powers, inexperience in love and being virgin and all this so overwhelming for him facing so much of kurosawas wholesome pure kind love.

Gonna keep watching this cause it got me invested.

I had different imaginations about their voices but the more I listened, the more I felt it fit. Well anyway seeing Kurosawa and Adachi in anime form alone makes me grateful and happy! Both of them are good people ♡ ~
