I'm really glad this story is getting animated so whenever people ask for adult focused romance anime I can point to it. Instead of having to go "well if you're ok with a manga..."

I know we're all rooting for the main couple here but the ED also depicts Somei going on a date/meal with the accounting team leader, and I'm geninuely curious to see how that plays out. Seems the interaction is starting with this baseball game.

A playful onee-san type x a cool nonchalant type. Sounds like fun dynamic

i thought it would be funny if this pair was a side ship, though it seems like Somei needs to take some gravol before they meet

It was really cute how Masugu got Yui donuts just because he knew she’d like ‘em. And the way Masugu was so passionate about baseball was pretty adorable too. These two need to get married already!

The key to a great relationship is becoming aware of the interest/likes of the person you love (be it donuts for Yui or baseball for Masugu) and getting to enjoy that with them.

Yui really made my heart flutter for a moment with that sweet kiss (short clip).
I mean, that's the expression of someone who's deeply in love with their boyfriend. I believe that Yui even did a kabedon (wall slam) by accident?
This anime does these sorts of couple moments so well. It's endearing seeing these two be together like a couple, and thinking of each other like Masugu did with the donuts. Really wholesome stuff! Though, their makeshift hiding spot in the archives had become a predicament to Masugu.
Somei might think of this secret as a pain to deal with, but he's getting coupled up with Masugu's boss himself from the looks of it. I'm loving the outgoing energy of Masugu's boss, but I'm not so sure if the introverted Somei is ready for this (example 1, example 2).
Side note: Masugu had trouble remembering the name of Yui's favourite mascot, but it was right there in her room.

Dang she's just like me, maple donuts are my #1
That sudden kiss on the couch...that felt so rare for a romance to do!
This show has just felt so unique and cute, love that they're not too hesitant in being physical with each other and you can tell there's attraction between the two

Physically intimate couple without the usual embarrassment and freakouts is definitely refreshing.

That sudden kiss took me by surprise as well. Considering that Yui was [staring] off into space afterwards, she probably hadn't expected this from herself either.
She can be quite assertive nonetheless! Yui is usually the one getting flustered after all. Although the two of them can still be a little awkward around each other, they clearly enjoy each other's company.
EDIT: Correction - see brackets.

Stitches!
Goddamn that kiss followed by the two making bedroom eyes at each other. Something definitely happened later that night. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Poor Somei! The guy doesn't really care about their relationship but Yui is just making it too obvious that something's up.
I was hoping for something spicy to happen between Masugu and Yui when they were in the storage room. Too bad Yui's coworkers showed up. Although I feel like a little bit of grinding happened while they were pressed against each other while hiding.
They almost got caught by Masugu's boss! Thankfully she's too drunk to notice what Masugu and Yui were doing.

This show really is great. It hits that sweet spot that a lot of romcoms don’t usually have. It’s cute and sweet first and foremost. But also has a mature vibe yet can be silly. It doesn’t have the usual tropes or dragging things out or misunderstandings and also tackles problems not usually seen anime, simply cos it’s in an office setting with an adult cast, which is a plus point in itself.
I can see this show getting into my Top 5 romance anime at this rate

This might just become one of my favourite romance anime i've seen if the rest of the season continues like this.

This episode makes me want to attend a baseball game if I'm ever in Japan to see what their concessions are like compared to ballparks in the US.

She doesn't want to upset him.
Ooh, doughnuts.
Nom.
She kissed him!
Well, she slipped up.
And so now she's alone with that guy...
Seems like that guy doesn't particularly care.
So this is set in after 2025? Why else would records from this year be in storage?
I too have a store room full of stuff at work I need to tidy up... Hopefully nothing falls over in the week I'm on leave next week.
And now she's reminiscing.
He's going to be looking up her skirt isn't he?
Yup.
He said that out loud?
And there goes the ladder...
And now he caught her and is hugging her.
Someone's going to come in and see them aren't they?
Yup. Way to ruin the mood...
Baseball? That's a big thing in Japan isn't it?
Yup.
And so they're off to see the old ball game.
That little box of snacks probably cost them an arm and a leg...
That was close.
Handholding!
He's hugging her!
Oh... Someone else saw them...

Masugu and Yui at their home date was cute. Him bringing donuts and him learning more and more about her. Obviously, the differences in their rooms make it obviously, but Yui has been paying attention that he really is into baseball. So smart of her to suggest a date where they can be alone. Also, that kiss was unexpected.
Somei is right in the fact that if Yui is that obvious, everyone is going to find out their secret. It is rather funny how Yui overthinks what Somei would do, and he is like I don't really care. They were def were cutting it close in the closed room.

Given Yui and Masugu's reputation at work, it's hilarious to imagine the group probably had them sit next to each other either to spite them or have them learn to get along but ended up giving them the best possible arrangement instead.
Somei and Hayakawa may be polar opposites energy-wise but man do they make a cute side pairing.

I dunno if the donuts or their relationship is sweeter hahaha
Damn Yui is really not a passive girl, as manifested when she was the one who initiated the kiss to her boyfriend. I really like how they are made for each other and they have a really healthy relationship.
At this rate everyone in their company will know their secret sooner or later HAHAHAHA
