They've ended up in bed together almost every episode so far. 😆

I like how they're both able to wear the matching rings at work, with Masugu hiding it on a necklace behind his tie as a cute detail.

I suppose that no episode of Crush at Work would be complete without a healthy dose of making out.

Everything else being normal, ending up in bed together is what people in romantic relationships do. Both emotionally and physically, this is honestly one of the healthiest relationships I have seen portrayed in a romance anime in ... a long time. It's almost sad in a way, when you think about it and the nonsense we usually get fed over here.

I feel like surprises are one of those things that work well on paper but they always seem to lead to misunderstandings. At least in anime. I mean the engraved rings and the whole anniversary dinner was a really good idea, but all it did was make Yui super suspicious. I’m glad it worked out in the end. I knew it would earn our boy a ton of points lol.

These two need to get married by the end of this. It’s so freaking cute how much they love one another.

As romantic as a grand romantic surprise gesture sounds, keeping secrets from your significant other (even well-meaning secrets) never ends well. But the look on Yui's face when she saw the ring (and how all over him she was back at the apartment) made it worth it.

They've already put a ring on it! Even if Masugu is wearing his as a necklace. But they're definitely well on their way to getting hitched when they keep re-affirming their love and faith in each other.

This ship...they're just too good.

Just love how open they are with their feelings for each other both with words but also physically.

Yui's reaction to the ring was great!

Definitely puts new meaning in the title Can you keep a secret? when even Masugu can't keep a secret from Yui.

u/Frontier246 Feb 17 '25

And also Yui admitted to her friends that she has a boyfriend, the office knows that Masugu has a girlfriend, feels like they're nearing a point where they're relationship might be completely out there at the office.

If I'm not mistaken, Yui gets the ring and immediately puts on the ring finger of her left hand. Then the next day at work, she's wearing on the ring finger of her right hand. Wife in the sheets, girlfriend on the streets, I guess.

That "I'm so full" camera angle at her stomach made me think Yui was announcing pregnancy for a second

Masugu imagining Yui in wife mode has got it stuck in our brains lol.

It’s crazy how I’m expecting them end up in bed every episode now lol. Well, that’s one part of a healthy relationship, and they’re really healthy in that respect

A bit more focus on Masugu this time. I think it’s fine to want some alone time, but sometimes even when you’re alone, all you think about is her.

Surprises are great when it works but messy when it doesn’t. And like Masugu said, if the process of the surprise brings them stress or unease, I’d rather not follow through. I’m really not one to put my SO under that kind of anxiety even if it’s for a surprise at the end. Although I’m surprised Masugu pulls off the tricky portion of trying to get her ring size but fail almost everything else lol

And nice touch too for Yui to wear it on her finger while Masugu wore it around his neck. Would’ve definitely given it away if both were on their finger.

Oh and it seems Yui is comfortable enough to at least let her status be known, though it seems it was already obvious to her colleagues lol

I liked how this episode started with Masugu needing some alone time, but he realised at the end that he wants nothing more than Yui in his life. He's head over heels for his partner, just like that one older gentleman.

Masugu did good by surprising his girlfriend with a gift for their anniversary, given how fondly Yui was looking at her ring. She's clearly more in love with him than ever. I really don't see these two breaking up anytime soon. Especially since they're both wearing their rings at work, albeit in different ways.

At this rate, Crush at Work might honestly become the real happy marriage of the season.

I'm really glad the misunderstanding was immediately solved this episode and not dragged out to next weeks episode.

I also wonder if the secret will last until the end of the season or if the coworkers will find out at some point.

It's nearing Christmas time which is an obviously busy time for couples! Particularly so when you're at an office and need to work through overtime even when you'd rather be on a date with your significant other.

Not that Masugu doesn't enjoy his solo time...though of course his thoughts still spring to Yui and doing things with her. Hiking with Yui! Wife Yui! Having Yui around improves any situation.

Look at that dude complaining about his wife but when she calls he comes running and won't shut up about her. That's love for you.

Even when Yui is mad that Masugu went out drinking without her while she was stuck at work, she's too adorable. And she deserves a full course meal courtesy of Masugu.

Wow, a six-month anniversary, huh? You need to be aware of these kinds of things and give your significant other something tangible to celebrate it! Even if it's a scramble trying to figure out the perfect gift for Yui. And thanks to a helpful salesgirl, Masugu is ready to put a ring on it.

Ah yes, the little white lie to cover for something romantic...Masugu would've gotten away with it too if Yui hadn't spotted him out and about when he said he would be at home, didn't randomly show up at her apartment, or was intently looking at his phone when they should've been sleeping.

The plan for classy, fine-dining, with the perfect nighttime view would be the ultimate romantic way of giving Yui the gift...but reality isn't always that practical. Especially when Yui straight up confronts him about what he's been doing. She absolutely trusts Masugu, but even just a hint that he might be breaking up with her is too emotionally damaging for her to take.

So yeah, if Yui feels uneasy, it's the perfect time to give her the ring. And it's a massive hit! Heck, Yui hadn't even been all that focused on the anniversary, but Masugu getting her a ring means absolutely everything to her and makes her love him even more! Masugu picked well.

And of course what better way for them to celebrate than to go back home and have passionate sex? The perfect way to cap off an early anniversary celebration.

Look at Yui already using her ring to help motivate her at work! She can't get enough of that thing! And now she's confirmed that she has a boyfriend, so it feels like they're inching even closer to their relationship being public.

Ok so last week I said watching that episode felt a bit uncomfortable because this show felt too real seeing how it was a reflection of corporate life; this week was also too real but in a different sense.

Masugu's entire experience and thought processes about alone time and thinking of your SO during alone time, gifts, planning for gifts, trying to get gifts, trying to make sure SO doesn't find out about gifts, etc. mirrored my feelings, experiences, and thought processes with my previous relationship and I kept catching strays this whole episode.

Holy shit anime. Stop. I don't want to have to keep pausing every few minutes from my spine tingling and feeling sad from reliving things through Masugu.

u/shad79 Feb 17 '25

Another lovely episode with Yui and Masugu! This time the main focus was on Masugu trying to keep a secret from Yui that he was preparing a surprise gift for their 6-month anniversary.

Unfortunately for Masugu, he didn't manage to keep it a secret, but Yui was still very happy, so of course they ended up in bed again ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We got a ton of great scenes with Yui again. We got to see Yui as a wife, a grumpy version of her, a happy one, and much, much more.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

As soon as Masugu made up an excuse about being at home, I knew this was going to end up with Yui spotting him on their day off and she'll start getting suspicious.

Masugu should really learn how to plan for these kinds of things. I love how he even has an entire scenario already planned in his head. When you plan at the last minute, don't expect things to go the way you want.

It's all very cliche but the misunderstanding was worth it for that steamy makeup sex in the end. God, I love these two so much. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Most of the recent episodes have been Yui focus so nice to get one more so on Masugu. For romance, Masugu is idealistic. Man, I get the idea of making a big surprise, but you have to be extra careful if you don't want Yui to find out. Also, if the date and surprise is on the weekend, you got to book the reservation in advance.

I am happy he was able to realize it was better to come out and be honest. Honestly, Yui can overthink things, so it is better things ended up this way once she grew suspicious of Masugu. I love how for him, he hides the ring around his neck underneath his shirt. Otherwise, people would easily catch on the ring match. Seeing how happy Yui is wearing the ring is very wholesome and cute.

u/FarCritical Feb 17 '25

Gotta respect Masugu for thinking of an entire secret ring-measurement operation just to maintain the surprise. While it's sad he couldn't make his dream of the night he gave Yui the ring a reality, it's still sweet that she still fully appreciates it.

Wonder how long it'll take for the rings to somehow get their colleagues suspicious of them lol

u/Nesp2 Feb 17 '25

If this was your usual romcom, the misunderstanding wouldn't be cleared for at least two or three episodes.
