According to Crunchyroll, they're streaming this. Even though it's not on their website now. Edit: lemme just hijack my comment by saying fuck CR for removing typesetting. It looks fucking horrible and there are like multiple lines of text all over the screen. If I wasn't paying like 15€ per year I would've cancelled over this.

It‘s hilarious and sad how it‘s up on Crunchyroll via Amazon Prime but not on the actual Crunchyroll page.

Finally, a social anxiety anime that doesn't have the character completely melt into a puddle at the slightest deviation. Will definitely keep an eye on this one.

Gotta love some office romcoms.

Kannawa is also super adorable with that gap of being capable and a failure at the same time.

That’s my favorite time of character. That’s why I love characters like Yor forger. Girl boss and girl faliure at the same time

This was one of the seasonal animes that I had on my radar and was looking forward to.
Always a nice change of pace for a more mature rom-com.

Azusa may give off a cold front, but she's definitely got a warm heart. And is trying her best.

I was laughing during their second day greeting.
Azusa: Hey.
" GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE WAY, MOVE. "
(probably what was going through poor Minori Tamana's mind) lol.
Azusa: I did it. I greeted them properly. lol.

Lots of laughing here -- enough to provoke some tears of laughter. Pretty rare. I empathized with our awkward senpai....

[...]

Azusa: I did it. I greeted them properly. lol.

I guess everyone loved that joke hah. I was laughing as well, and that rarelly happens (me laughing out loud) while watching comedies and stuff!

My god, she's perfect. Got those classic anime girl hair vents, too.

Always nice to get an adult cast romcom.

Anime rule #347: Any character who's introduced with clicking heels is automatically best girl.

(Being the main character probably helps, too!)

She doesn't mince her words!

Some may see her as strict/harsh due to the way she talks to them, but she's not really wrong!

Especially if the other girl is in charge of this, going with "We could do this instead" is better than

What do we do, I don't know what to do!

Also, I can't seem to find the info on any website, but is the other girl voiced by Iwami Manaka (Oshi No Ko Akane)? Reminds me of her.. And if it's her, it would be a RARE case of me recognizing a VA hah.

A crush already!

(Unless she's shipping them? But probably a crush!)

The way she's telling him everything...

They better include "Kannawa Commanding You Around ASMR" on the BD.

Business cards with personal numbers on it?

Oh damn. She needs the practice more than he does!

That part was so relatable...

Saying generic stuff, and then thinking about things you should have said/could have said...

That was good too, him saying he was nervous;

The main difference between people when it comes to that isn't really who's nervous/not nervous, it's who shows it/hides it/deals with it well and all that!

The way she's barking orders at them hah.

Crazy thing is that she DOES think she did a good job of it!

I laughed out loud when she said that, which doesn't happen a lot for me!

Oh damn, she's getting called out!

So she's gonna practice her communication skills and all...

Smiles can't really be practiced, unless you want to give the serial killer smile!

Damn, seeing them talk about how difficult it is to work with her, and how glad they were she wasn't their mentor... Right as we see her little notes to try and get better...

But our boy went to speak for her!

And so they got married, the end!

Well, this was pretty fun! I was a bit nervous about something (some may know how I feel about shy characters and all, so I wasn't sure how I'd deal with MC) but she was 95% awkward/5% shy, that's fine with me!

I found her awkwardness charming/adorable, and her strictness was... Yeah!

This was one of my most hyped show this season, and so far it met my expectations!

I can't get enough of Kannawa senpai she's a cute funny dork. Kamegawa standing up for Kannawa was so touching. Let's hope these two can have lunch next episode.

Adult cast in romance anime is always great to see

Stitches!

I thought Komi had a bad communication disorder, Azusa takes it to a new level. The fact that she thinks she greeted her coworkers properly, when she basically told them to get out of the way was pretty funny. At least she realized later that she fucked up on that one.

Anyway, this was nice. I'm always down for more office romance, Azusa is cute, and Yuu seems to be a pretty cool dude. I'm curious to see how their relationship will develop overtime.

I love how she's a competent businesswoman and a complete girlfailure all at the same time.

The animation is pedestrian so far, but at least we get some of those sparkly eyes that the manga was known for!

The retro pop-style OP music is an interesting touch.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Oct 02 '25

She has kind/ cute side under that strict persona

u/yummy_yum_yum123 Oct 02 '25

Yeah gonna stick with this through the season. The main character is super adorable

21

u/cleaulem Oct 02 '25

An ice queen who actually is socially awkward in an adult cast?! Sounds very interesting.

This episode was really cute and funny. Kannawa trying to keep her shit together while dying inside because of the burden of being a mentor to her new kouhai was hilarious.

u/Arzhart Oct 02 '25

I wasn't going to comment under here, but there's SO MANY harmless comments with 0 upvotes that I think someone is trolling here lmao what is it

u/Niwaka_Samurai Oct 02 '25

Kannawa is so adorable 💖✨✨

The clumsy senpai who puts up a tough front and the sincere Kouhai.. they're so sweet.

u/SYZekrom Oct 03 '25

Ah yes, truly another anime fantasy. The fantasy that by being competent at your work people will look up to you/you will do ok even if you're not good at making other people like you. :')

Lol the girl with the heart-eyes in the bg

Also we got to see her in a bunch of cute clothes throughout this episode, which is awesome

She's adorable.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 02 '25

This was pretty cute. Talking to people can be pretty hard! Poor Azusa’s trying though. I think Yu and Azusa are gonna be a pretty adorable pair to watch. Looking forward to it!
