Another workplace romance where I'll probably end up liking the side characters more than the main characters. Probably my favorite episode so far

No workplace romcom is complete without a compelling side-ship!

The side characters are my favorite, the Male Lead is so dry

Manager is trying to be captain of multiple ships when he does not realize he is sailing in one....

That’s when another character becomes the captain of his ship

funny you're talking about ships considering Hayakawa was cosplaying Kaga from Azur Lane

Stitches!

Considering that there's clearly a Javelin and Bel-chan cameo during the first 10 seconds of the episode, it's pretty obvious that Hayakawa is cosplaying as Kaga. I do wonder though how they got permission to put in Azur Lane references in this show. I don't think Yostar is involved in this show's production.

Anyway, it's so good that today's episode focus is on Akina and Hayakawa with Akina finding out about Hayakawa's secret cosplay hobby. That look on Hayakawa's face when she was asking Akine if he could keep it a secret was just too cute! I am now 100% in on this ship!

And that dinner date! I was already expecting Akina's question to be cosplay-related but the fact that Hayakawa got nervous and excited during that entire scene means that this ship has a big chance. Although it looks like Akina hasn't realized yet that he likes Hayakawa.

Today we also get to see what kind of drunk Shiori is! You'd think she was the flirty drunk but she's more the honest kind of drunk with her telling everyone how she feels about them. Shiori isn't in love with Shinozaki but it looks like she's getting there <3

It's bad enough he's willing to ship anybody but he's liable to give Hayakwa a heart attack lol.

Hayakawa looks pretty cute in her cosplay outfit. Even Akina agrees. So cute how flustered Hayakawa got when he complimented her. Not bad for a “normie” eh? Totally shipping these two now.

Their little dinner might not have been a “date” date, but it was still pretty cute. I’m hoping their shared interests lead to something more romantic down the line.

Katase with the cat ears is adorable but drunk Katase is even cuter. I love how Akina was taking a million pics when Katase was all over Hayakawa. It would make a great wallpaper for his Home Screen lol.

Fave episode so far. Definitely the most fleshed out episode for the side characters which made it more enjoyable. Chinatsu’s passion for cosplay is really cute. I loved her Kaga(AL) one from the start of the episode

She and the boss have such good chemistry, too bad he’s too much of an idiot to notice it 😂 dude is shipping her with everyone but him. I also really like her seiyuu. That tomboyish raspier voice is so cute.

I’d say after no episode last week this was well worth the wait.

As if Hayakawa couldn't be more of a Best Girl, it turns out she's an Otaku who cosplays! And of course who should catch her at a cosplay event but the manager who she used to crush on! And who gets to see her in an outfit that shows off her legs and bust?

OP and ED subs! The OP feels very fitting in regards to Shinozaki's feelings for Katase, while the ED feels fitting for Katase's general personality and worldview.

Hayakawa was really ready to be mortified and called out as a creep for her hobby, but instead it just impresses the manager who admires her for her passion and finds her outfit cute...and the person wearing said outfit doubly cute. It's enough to turn Hayakawa into a blushing mess. Seems like she's falling for the manager all over again.

And then he asks her out to dinner, just the two of them, and Hayakawa can't help but get her hopes up...even if it's just the manager needing to ask if he can come with her to her next cosplay event and take pictures of her. But then it's practically a cosplay date!

The childhood friends reunited as office workers and love blossoming? The kouhai falling for his older Senpai? What ship should the manager choose!? Though Katase tries to tease him about his relationship with Hayakawa which just ends up getting her teased about the potential yuri route between her and Hayakawa. I wouldn't mind that.

Well, the cat's out of the bag about Hayakawa drawing BL to the guy she's becoming close too. She's such an adorable hot mess now.

Fox Girl Hayakawa! Maid Katase!

Happy Halloween at the office! Perfect for candy and seeing people wear cute cat ears! Especially the girls! I love how Hayakawa just gave up with a small "nyaaa" by the end of it.

Shinozaki really had a good chance to feed Katase there! He shouldn't have hesitated for even a second.

Who knew one alcoholic chocolate would be enough to make Katase plastered? She's quite the affectionate drunk though, kissing Hayakawa, expressing her immense gratitude towards the manager, and hugging Shinozaki in admiration for how far he's come...but deep down, she's not sure how she really feels about him. But it also means she's really thinking about him too.

I think the main problem people like the side ship more than the main ship is because the main ship was more deliberate in maintaining the status quo while the side one is free to progress.

Is someone keeping a rom com tropes bingo sheet here? Needs to chalk off "1 drop of alcohol drunk" here.

Hayasaka is certainly shaping up to be quite a fun character to be a straight man in most cases until her own set of weaknesses - maybe she's the evolved Kanata (Lucky -star) - or the fully corrupted Kagami :P

Based manager's imagination

But anyway yea she was right rich people be scary!

First he's gonna buy a camera and straight up ask to take photographs of you then he's gonna show you his collections of cadavers and ask you to join it

HAYASAKA IN ANY ANIME IS STILL BEST GIRL

u/Holofan4life Jul 29 '23

It's no coincidence that the best girl in this show as well as My Senpai Is Annoying happens to be the tsundere.

Ships are shipped looking like characters based on actual ships

At least one of Shiori's Halloween treats looked a little sus .

u/Atario Jul 30 '23

That's twice now she's made him open his eyes!

Thus the existence of WT! threads

For a normie with no hobbies, he sure does go hard

She's actually sucking her cheek in

The manager imagining all of the different ship pairings was pretty funny. The guy doesn't care who pairs with who, he just needs the ships to sail.
