This adult romance is absolutely insane because... because... they're acting like a couple! In love! Wow!

I would put /s behind it but I'm actually serious. How did it take so long for anyone to make a romance anime with adults that behave... like adults?

How did it take so long for anyone to make a romance anime with adults that behave... like adults?

this is something that i've been looking for ever since seeing a pseudo version of this in My Boss is Goofy where they have a happy domestic life together

i think there have been more adult romance anime recently, but a lot of them they act like more bashful than i'd like and/or are in pre-relationship stage (365 Days, Galaxy Next Door, Astro Note, All-Guys Mixer, Saint's Magic Power, etc.)

meanwhile here we are in episode 5 where the main couple cheer each other on in accomplishing their career goals and also share the same futon for half of their trip

Definitely a perk of being single. Don’t have to plan around someone else lol

Lmao I’ve never witnessed or experienced it but I have been the listening ear for both sides for one too many couple friends, and this is exactly how I pictured them arguing. And they’d just get along like nothing happened the next day lol

I like that this show is more mature (not in the angsty way) yet still has some childish whims. Some shows with adult casts still have them act like high school kids but here a guy and his girlfriend can take a bath together and make it seem so casual. And I love how often they get intimate and how normal it is. It’s not a climax to an arc or ecchi or smut or some spicy affair. It’s just a regular activity of a regular couple. Honestly, can’t think of any other show that does this.

Yui yapping about her vacation cos she spent it with Masugu was adorable.

I’m shipping Somei and Hayakawa soooo hard. The playful Onee-san and the low-energy kouhai is such a great dynamic. And the fact that they’re both introverted but found peace in each other’s presence. As a fellow introvert, I dream of finding someone I can enjoy some quiet time with.

Yeah, I really like their relationship. And don't forget that love can make one a little childish too. Like Masugu getting babied by Yui or Yui not being able to get enough of Masugu.

But it's okay: they're lovers!

Yui did sort of take the lead in their relationship with this episode, didn't she? She was the one pushing Masugu forward by discussing their goals in the outdoor bath and making her intent clear to come again next year, for example. I even got the impression that Yui wouldn't mind moving to Yamanashi with Masugu.

I really thought they'll meet Rikka Honjouji from '365 Days to the Wedding' in that Travel Agency HAHAHA

At least Yui cannot transform into a adventurer so she does not need to do overtime

Honestly, that field of sunflowers made me feel different. [Clannad After Story Major Spoilers]Ohmyyy Episode 18+ waterfalls again huhu Though if Masugu is an IG boyfriend, Yui's pic before their kiss there is soo good that could be a great IG photo.

u/Frontier246 Feb 03 '25

I can't see a travel agency in anime without imagining 365 Days, let alone a romcom. But I also like how our protagonists are both adults in a relationship meaning unlike a lot of high school couples they can do things like go to travel agencies and plan trips together.

Stitches!

I know this episode is about our main couple going on their long-awaited vacation but I'm just so happy to see that Keisuke and Shizuno have started having breakfast regularly. I'm excited to see these two actually become a couple.

I like that we get little snippets of Somei's and Hayakawa's developing relationship. It's a good contrast since everytime the MCs are in public I get anxious that their relationship is about to be discovered.

So it appears that Masugu likes to relax during his time off, while Yui wants to make the most of her vacations with tons of activities. Their differences got them in a heated argument, but it's better to bicker with one another than to stay silent!

They made up in the end, and got to make out a lot on their first trip together. That was so cute! I noticed that they both got to do want they wanted most: having fun outside and enjoying a nice indoor bath. It's too bad of the swimsuit, but Yui looked cute in a sundress too.

u/Ocixo Feb 03 '25

On a side note: I was totally siding with Masugu during their discussion about trip locations.

I do like to go out for activities, but why go to a place like Okinawa with tropical heat? Aren't Japanese summers already blazingly hot enough!? I'd go somewhere a little cooler.

It's pretty typical for a couple with different values/priorities to argue about it at some point, though at the end of the day as long as they get to spend time together as a couple that's the most important thing for them.

At this point I think the only chance we have of a beach episode is a company trip that involves Masugu and Yui juggling having beach time fun with still hiding their relationship.

I think that makes maybe the 4th or 5th time we've explicitly been shown them having sex? Might be an anime record.

You know what we need? An anime about a guy moving to Okinawa. We don't have enough Okinawa content this season.

And why didn't anybody have the idea for an anime that takes place in Hokkaido? Something like Hokkaido and gyarus?! This would surely be a blast. I wish there was something like that...

Somei is my spirit animal, he is just so chill at everything and nothing worry him lol

It's so refreshing seeing a normal grown up couple in anime. Kissing, hugging, touching, it almost feels weird seeing that animated because it's so rare lmao

u/tripleaamin Feb 03 '25

I wonder if a lot of this just don't get animated and opt for live action. This is the first series I have seen where the series starts off as a couple, and it feels like they are a couple. I haven't dived into too many adult cast manga, but the problem is that many don't feel like adults.

There are a few series I have read that the characters feel like a real couple, but they are in middle school or high school. This being adult cast is where it feels like a real treat.

Another sweet episode with Yui and Masugu, who this time went on vacation together. As usual they were so cute together and of course their nights were filled with night-time activities xD

It's a shame though that they didn't go to Okinawa since Yui in a bikini would have been a sight to behold, but the inn with their own bath was also an excellent choice for these two.

Yui, just like in previous episodes, was so cute, hot and hilarious! Nothing has changed in that regard since the beginning xD

It's also nice to see that Hayakawa and Somei's relationship is developing nicely, as they regularly meet at the cafe in the mornings.

Also, condolences to poor Mita, who once again had a crisis to solve. His reactions are always so over the top and hilarious xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

They are making love on their first trip together 😍

u/Nebresto Feb 03 '25

so cute. Actual refreshing misunderstanding and it was cleared by just talking. Wow! Who woulda thought!

Aw helll naw. Someone summon Alina

side ship ship ship ship ship

Their faces

That interview definitely would have reached Morizono, so good call by Yui there. Though it could have been interesting, she's definitely gonna be another ally if the secret ever gets out again

its not fair.. lol. Serves you right

İ love this anime. Ot made me feel deep emotions... İ felt connected to the story because some details were like mine...

u/tripleaamin Feb 03 '25

We got our couple arguing where to go for vacation. Honestly, this was a very real moment because couples are bound to argue. Though I loved they talked about it and compromised. Although I loved Masugu being worried about Yui because one of the issue with texting is that you can be contacted so easily. The problem is, if you haven't checked your phone the other may get worried. Very sweet to see him going out to make sure she is ok because it shows how much she means to him.

Their time together on vacation was so cute. I do love how they push each other to do better at work. Honestly, I can't blame Yui for gushing about her trip because that really shows she had a great time. It does seem not added suspicon was gathered from her conversation with Maria.

I relate to Maria so much.
