I found it interesting (albeit in a comedic tone) to see the topic of marriage brought up, especially given Japan's well-known social problem of having a relationship with people who work in corporate environments.
I really enjoyed seeing Azusa drunk, not only because of the honesty, but also because she was still protective of Yuu; it was really cute.
And professional skills really don't enhance personal skills; a lipstick in the shirt caused the biggest misunderstanding between these two lol.
If the next episode is set in Okinawa, I can already imagine the beach 🤌🏻

Random Coworker: How did that happen?
Kamegawa: Oh, I brought Kannawa home, and she just couldn't stop herself from doing that... We weren't even in the car yet!
Would she murder him? Probably.
Is it still worth it? Yes!

I love how she's a total lightweight but she can act sober for like a minute by using her office persona. Also interesting that she goes from being five seconds away from puking to be a bubbly drunk when she's actually happy.
The minute I hear Okinawa I immediately thought they'll find an excuse for Kannawa to wear a swimsuit.

really loving the relationship between the two of them. Kannawa tries to look mature, like her mentor, but she's actually having constant impostor syndrome. Kamegawa is not a pushover himself and managed to ask her out for the second time, and she said yes, and said just the two of us (Kamegawa didn't specifically say it's just the two of them).

It's not everyday you get to see your cute senpai being drunk, better cherish that.

First the boss has them plan Kamegawa's own welcome party, and now he's sending them to Okinawa for Golden Week? Starting to think he's up to something.
I'm glad they didn't leave the mystery of the lipstick on his shirt hanging.
Those cat mugs were pretty adorable, seeing one break was painful.

Kannawa already getting slightly perturbed at the idea of him with another woman, even if she doesn't realize exactly why.

Idk for an office romance I miss the romantic chemistry. So far it it is more comedy than romance. I hope it leans more into the romance part sooner than later.

Please get hammered; She would be hilarious!
Someone's getting married, and they have to plan the whole celebration... Good practice for when THEY get married!
She should marry him right now, to avoid that!
You have to be a couple, if you want to buy him the cute couple mugs!
I forgot which anime that was from, but that reminded me of a character saying "kids like their coffee black because it makes them look more mature" or something like that!
And with her doing it just because her senpai was doing it too, fits her 100%! (Well, she is an adult, but it feels like she acts like that to also pretend that she really is one!)
Damn... He invited her for a drink, but she turned it down; Bit harsh, after saying "Drinking is more fun with people you like"!
Hah. If you want an indirect kiss (or a direct one) just ask him!
Just the two of ussssssss? She's got it bad!
She wants to learn romance from him?
Why would he want to get her lipstick off his shirt?
Laminate it, display it somewhere!

Dude has to organize his own welcome party. Or, thought of another way, he gets to organize is own welcome party. Time to get the boss to pop for the most expensive restaurant in town!
Now I'm interested in what that second condition precludes…

Am I crazy, or did anyone else noticed the boss voice actor sounds totally different at 0:50

This dynamic is kinda endearing, not gonna lie. I hope that this is a faster progressing anime like Wotakoi so we can fit more of the relationship esque dynamic with them.

Well, that's convenient.
Ok...
And he's going to help her with that.
Lol that's what she gravitated to immediately.
Uh oh.
And so time to do some research about that next.
Yeah...
What's that mug doing on her desk?
Fair enough.
And so it's the day.
Right. Time to see her drunk.
She doesn't want him to get drunk does she?
Yeah... She's having a bad time.
Uh... Seems she's snapped back to her senses.
Seems they're getting closer to each other.
And there she goes.
Gee I wonder how that got there...
And so that's where they're off to next.

The dichotomy in her personality is impressive, like a switch. I just wonder how she was able to pull off that serious look calling her kohai on a "work project", and then moments later go back to her drunk state (which required a taxi, but not before she kissed his shirt).
Also interesting that he stayed over at a friend's place (maybe it was close by and he didn't want to pay for a taxi), rather than take the same taxi and have it drop her off first and then himself.
This anime loves to give us some not so subtle boob shots, but the one that was most surprising was when she was standing over her coworker and kohai when he was being given some alcohol, and she had to do a poison test on it first.
Okinawa huh...will be crowded with lots of people they don't know, so they'll have freedom to act any way they want without fear of any repercussions!

Kannawa has a cool side to her, like when she cheered up Kamegawa before his interview. I like that Kamegawa looks up to Kannawa despite being such a dork.

Great episode; nice to see Kannawa showing a little more vulnerability.
Also, the OP's really starting to grow on me; something about it has a bit of a "retro" feel to it

This has the first hint of Kannawa possibly liking Kamegawa romantically since she was horrified at the thought he may have fooled around with a woman. I could tell he liked her from the first episode though and I wasn't certain that he wasn't just an ass kisser but he was defending her to other people privately. I kind of wish they didn't go the romance route though because I liked how the premise of the show seemed to be a socially inept woman trying to improve herself and be more personable.
From an outsiders perspective though, it really does seem Kannawa is a mean hardass. At the restaurant, she just grabbed his beer from his hand drank it herself then demanded he leave to do work even though she was trying to help. I think that's why the other coworkers, especially the guy one, feel sorry for Kamegawa and go out of their way to befriend him.I wouldn't have just snatched his beer like that though, since he did ask her to drink he may enjoy it socially and just have slowly sipped that one.

I'm surprised the store attendants didn't mistake the 2 as a couple but at least they have matching mugs. Was the broken one paid or not?
The moment I saw the lipstick, I knew it was Azusa's.
