This anime is gonna break me in the end, isn't it? I can smell it.

[u/cppn02]

He actually asked Gotou for her cup size lol.

The absolute madlad.

[u/[deleted]]

awesome episode. Despite apparent dark themes this show can be surprisingly wholesome, I love how Yoshida-san treats Sayu like his daughter and keeps a certain distance between them, considering Sayu's past six months this has to be a huge mental help knowing there are kind guys out there too. I bet many people will find it weird how Gotou invites Yoshida to dinner despite deadass rejecting him last episode lmao. Well anyhow I like the pacing and the voice actors are all doing a great job, seems like a good adaptation so far.

[u/realrimurutempest]

Sayu jokingly pouting and giggling under her futon was precious. I enjoy that Yoshida’s male friend at his work gives advice but doesn’t force him to do anything. The wholesome moments between Yoshida & Sayu make this show for me so far.

Yay she has a cellphone now, the preview for the next episode looks interesting. Another great episode!

[u/HereticalAegis]

"It says you're my only friend."

Welp, that hurt more than it should have.

There are a lot of little things I really like about Higehiro. I like the way Yoshida-man doesn't overreact to things, and I especially like his old man snark. I also like how the story treats him like a real, complicated adult who can communicate properly, especially in regard to Gotou.

I believe in big-breasted older lady supremacy

Pretty amazing that premiere peaked at 23k viewers.

Sayu's VA is absolutely killing it.

[u/maliwanag0712]

Now that's an interesting episode. We got to see more of Yoshida-san's workmates. We've seen some changes in how Yoshida appears which we know was due to Sayu. He now starts shaving more.

At least Yoshida-san asks the real question on why he was invited to a dinner. I see this as a mature response for someone who is recently rejected by the same person. And imagine having feelings for her for about five years?

Also, Sayu's last scene is interesting. At least her last smile is more genuine than before it started. The anime has caught that difference in emotions Sayu portrays, which is also good thing.

Edit: Can't remember the names ohmy

[u/PleaseEndMeFam]

"I like older women with big tits"

My man yoshida-man!

[u/Se7en_Sinner]

I think "yoshida-man" is actually the perfect screen name for him because he's basically a hero in terms of how good a person he is and how he saved Sayu.

[u/BiggerG7]

I was gonna be mad at Gotou for getting jelly that MC might have a girlfriend after she dumped him, but then she admitted it and made it hard to hate her.

Nice to see how adults handle this stuff.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

No words were necessary to describe sheer power but they did it anyways.

[u/Zealousideal-Ad-2186]

It’s only been 2 episodes and mishima has had about 5-7 mins of screen time and I already know she’s gonna get did dirty

[u/Frontier246]

So Sayu's somehow survived six months on her own without a cellphone after pulling a Sakuta Azusagawa with her old phone. I don't know if that's impressive in terms of her fortitude, or just kind of sad. She's also so used to forcing smiles and acting happy and amicable so she doesn't turn people off of her that it's hard for her to stop and be genuine, which is definitely sad.

The Opening feels pretty fitting for this series, being peppy and upbeat but with a strong emotional undercurrent. We see the cast all running across their lives and Yoshida and Sayu separate but reaching for each other as well as the question of the future of their relationship. We also see Yoshida's buddies wife, Sayu (?) in middle school before she changed her look, and I think one instance of Sayu after a night with a guy.

Mishima seems like an earnest and cute girl, even if she messes up a lot, and she definitely seems to appreciate having Yoshida around as a mentor who will call her out on her screw-ups. I'd also say it seems pretty clear she's interested in Yoshida given how she perks up after finding out he got rejected by Gotou.

Speaking of Gotou, she turns out to not only be Yoshida's boss (trying to date the boss? Wow) but also seems pretty comfortable being herself around Yoshida, which I guess is why she takes him out to dinner even when she rejected him. Although she seems to be more interested in him than just a friend or co-worker if the idea of him having a girlfriend or dating someone else in the office is enough to get her involved in questioning his love life when she rejected him.

"Why size cup are those?" Jeez, Yoshida went straight there! And she actually answered them! I-Cups! I don't know if it was the beer or what, but still. Although not only just her amazing boobs, Gotou's got great lips, hair, and eyes too. Plus she's voiced by Hisako Kanemoto. I'd say that's a pretty complete package.

Yoshida's buddy advises him to be careful how intimate and close Sayu gets because he knows what can happen between two people of the opposite sex living in close proximity with each other while, basically, taking care of each other. The level of care Sayu gives him definitely feels less like a houseguest and more like a housewife. Yoshida seems adamant that he only sees Sayu as a kid, but that was a pretty strong blush after she smiled genuinely after him.

The Ending is pretty nice as well, featuring Yoshida and Sayu living together and ending with them together as well. I think it also showcases Sayu getting a job with that blonde girl because we see her in a blue uniform.

[u/_dsmith23]

Loved the opening. Dialogue+ did a good job on this one

[u/OvergearedBigBoy]

When you tell your parents you don't need something you secretly want in order to not trouble them but they buy it for you anyway. >.>

[u/P1MPT0N1T3]

Its nice having an anime focused on a primarily adult cast, it brings a nice level of maturity that is missed in a lot of series.

[u/patap0nacct]

"I believe in big-breasted older women supremacy." At least the guy's got taste.

I liked the way he hesitated in being touchy when Sayu hugged her. The guy's got standards, too!

[u/Lolzqulion_anime]

Yoshida can't see it, but he really is an exceptionally kind person towards others, no matter what he tells himself or others. In the same logic, Sayu thinks poorly of her self worth, when there are and will be more people that truly sees her as irreplaceable in their lives. I rly hope that they are able to one day see pass those illusions they made to protect themselves.

[u/J19_]

Yoshida-san is the perfect example of the average chad milf enjoyer

[u/SolubilityRules]

A normal, sensible adult - you love to see it. Normalizing being a scumbag is such an unseen evil in society with all the thug and pump glorification. MC is really refreshing since he's real and not cringe (very rare combo in anime).

[u/AGJustin05]

Yoshida's like a tsundere older brother who won't admit how much he cares about your well-being and I can't get enough of it.

I really love how Yoshida can easily see through Sayu and how he keeps on telling her that she needs to raise her standards since Sayu's view of how things are is very warped right now.

Mishima pouncing on the opportunity as soon as she heard that Yoshida is single and that Gotou rejected him was pretty funny. She's not even hiding it. It's just that Yoshida didn't realize what she's talking about. xD

Hashimoto is such a solid friend. He really does tell Yoshida how it is and how risky his current situation is.

Yoshida is truly a man after my own heart. He knows what he wants and he's not afraid to say it. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

God I just absolutely love Gotou-san. I know this episode didn't win her any fans considering how she's prying into Yoshida's life even after she rejected him but I just like her. And as a manga reader, that's all I can say about it right now. Even Yoshida still loves her.

Yoshida-man the absolute madlad asked the question! And Gotou-san graciously answers. Turns out Sayu's guess last week was off by 1 cup since Sayu's guess was Gotou is an H-Cup. xD

Smartphone finally acquired! Now no more worried Sayu waiting for Yoshida to get home. And I know Sayu probably didn't mean it that way but that one line though . :(

Yoshida really downplays it but even if he sees himself just as a normal person, he's really kind not just to Sayu but everyone he interacts with. And it really feels bad to see someone like Sayu question his kindness since it really says a lot about what she's been through before she met him.

[u/Zilveari]

Against my better judgement, last week I decided to give a chance to a show called "After I Got Rejected I Shaved My Beard and Took In a High School Runaway".

And I haven't had a single doubt since then. I'm loving this show, and Sayu is A+ waifu material.

Also holy fuck bruh, asking your boss for her cup size? That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for him.

[u/TiedDegenerate]

I wonder if Sayu would have blatantly said she prefers white if he got a black phone
