I fell in love with this show from episode 1. The art style is some of the best I’ve seen in the medium, the character designs are very clean and other than the Yokai aspect, the world feels real. It really does a good job of making us feel like we’re in the office with the cast and going about their daily lives with them. Story wise, it’s a very episodic series with the obvious intent being to get the main coupe together and have them bond over daily work/work events. It’s a slow burn story that takes a lot of pride in small incremental victories for the couple. Going on a date, amusement park, etc. Basically, don’t expect anything major. That said, the little cute moments in this show are satisfying, adorable and a great way to wind down after a long day.
The cast is small in this anime, but that works in its favour as it allows the side characters to get plenty of shine over the course of 12 episodes. Every ship has cute moments and gets some shine.
There’s really not much else to say on the show. What you see is what you get. It’s a cute, fun and wholesome watch with great art, a simple yet satisfying premise and great characters who you will instantly fall in love with. If you’re a romance fan or just an older anime fan who wants a mature and adult cast, this is for you.
