While Igarashi figures out how Takeda sees her, the other duo Toko Sakurai and Sota Kazama attempt to push one another to admit their feelings. This group of friends soldier through the work day, go on retreats, and even offer a helping hand to one another when life gets in the way.Īs they are the main focus on the show, Igarashi and Takeda’s relationship goes at the snail’s pace we expect from anime romantic comedies. They make some strides though, especially when one helps the other when they come down with a cold or giving chocolates on Valentine’s Day. There’s also the level of closeness the two have, as they often eat together as a reward for a job well done each day.

But despite these romantic gains, Igarashi and Takeda often drag their feet when the subject of love is in the air. Thankfully, Sakurai and Kazama are also here to rid us of these will they/won’t they frustrations. The advances these two make - dinner, presents, aquarium trips - are giant leaps compared to many other anime couplings! How Sakurai teases Kazama every time he sneaks a peek at her chest is also sweet when looking at the bigger context, as it’s obvious that she’s flattered by his glances. *(Watching as Kazama glows red from embarrassment from what he says also is both hilarious and adorable!)* But it’s when Kazama protects Sakurai from some horn-dogged men where it’s clear that they’re destined for each other.
