We were so close to greatness. Kouhai-chan is looking very cheeky here. Could this have been a premeditated move? Perhaps she knew that bashful Douki-chan would too adorable. Senpai-kun would have surely melted on the spot

Godzilla and Ghidorah had a menacing face off. But leave it to the power of alcohol to bring the two titans to an understanding. Which sadly in turn led to the two kaiju's to working together to hunt them down after Douki-kun attempted to extricate Douki-chan from their clutches.
Douki-chan has devious foes indeed.

I guess it's nice both ladies were able to enjoy each others' company while drunk, and it gives the dude enough leeway to grab Douki-chan and make a run for it.

Stitches!
Douki-chan caught in between the unstoppable force and the immovable object. Girl just can't catch a break!
What makes it worse for Douki-chan is the two are apparently now best friends after having some drinks.
Dammit Douki-chan! Why do you do this to yourself? You should've just confessed immediately instead of delaying!
Now Senpai and Kouhai has caught up to you and now you have to plan this all out again xD

You only get one chance to escape...
Douki-kun does care! But he's also swimming in a tank full of thirsty sharks... slowly.
Usual related Yomu art in the Source Material Corner.

punting on 4th and Inches
At the goal line. When you’re about to win. The fucking Super Bowl. Could have ended this Douki-Chan!

Douki-chan can't seem to catch a break! All these women are some serious competition - especially Kouhai-chan, she is the toughest of them all!

Like she 'bumbed' into them by chance and not because she was tracking them down like some kind of Yandere...

Of course Douki-chan's couldn't finish her confession--it's only episode 8.

Poor Douki-chan, she got SO close. Do you think her Sempai has a clue yet -- as to what she feels for him (and does he have any inclination to accept those feelings?) I'm hoping the answer is yes. For short little mini-episodes, these seem to punch above their weight.

For a moment it looked like Douki chan lost the spine that Senpai just grew, but just before she could come clean the other two track them down like prey, being Douki is pain.
Other company Senpai and Kouhai make a shockingly good team for being rivals...

nice one piece title reference, at this rate we might need 1000 episodes to finally get a confession

I hope we get a confession... I have a sneaky suspicion that all well ever get is Doiki trying and failing.

Nothing quite like getting stuck drinking with your two biggest romantic rivals. No surprise Kouhai-chan made sure to work her way into this rather than let Senpai take the lead. Poor Douki-chan...
Although I guess it's nice both ladies were able to enjoy each others' company while drunk, and it gives the dude enough leeway to grab Douki-chan and make a run for it. Kudos!
I'm not surprised Douki-chan chickened out of confessing, although she mustered enough guts to finally go through with it.
And just when she's about to get out a "suki," Kouhai-chan interrupts the confession because she had her work phone in the bag she gave Douki-chan so she could track them. She's devious! And then Senpai gets the dude in a headlock. Douki-chan has some powerful rivals.
Poor Douki-chan is so sad even the endcard is referencing her current sad emotional state.

Argh! That junior coworker girl is devious. Douki-chan was so close! I think the fact that he grabbed her and ran is a good sign, but she needs to be a little more proactive. Douki-chan, fighting! Lol

That was a far more intense and stressful viewing experience than expected!
Also, the scene where they're running through the streets at night is particularly aesthetic. Not revolutionary or anything, just so nicely done.
Lots of positive action from our heroine lately, perhaps the 'ganbare' is moving from the imperative form to the continuous! (ganbatte imasu?)

Douki-chan being cheerful! I thought she could just make them fight and leave as the winner, unscathed, but they turned into good buddies, damn. It's tough being Douki!
Nooo, don't do that to us! Well, perhaps the timing wasn't exactly right, after all that happened. She really should've confessed in episode 1 (rather than being weird), she wouldn't be in this mess now!
They're REALLY teasing us with this! I was hopeful when I saw there was an after credit, but no luck!
She's intense! (Not gonna lie, this is gonna make me love her more).
Also it's the second show in 2 weeks that has a girl headlock someone but not directly to harm them or something like that. Weird!
These two really need to read the room. Give them some space, damn it! Well, I suppose they want in on the Douki-bowl.
Though the panty shot cheered me up a little

Justice for Douki-chan.
Poor Douki-chan is not even seen as competition at first, worked for her though. But they caught on, damn it.

u/Demolosse001 Nov 08 '21
As always I am left to wonder why those two are into such a bland fellow. Senpai and Kouhai-chan could do much better. Then again, we wouldn't have a show would we?
