Lmao, this show is just so stupid with the whole "naked companionship" thing.

At the karaoke gathering for team building, Adachi found himself in trouble trying to help Fujisaki, a female colleague who was being harassed by a drunk person. Kurosawa came to Adachi's rescue, turning the tables on the situation. Adachi felt a sense of closeness to Kurosawa from the genuine feelings that were conveyed. Later, when invited by his junior Rokkaku with free sauna tickets, they headed to the destination only to find themselves unexpectedly engaged in a "naked companionship."

We just saw the exact moment when Kurosawa fell head over heels for Adachi, and it's getting tough for Kurosawa to keep those feelings in check. I was honestly a bit surprised to find out that Kurosawa had only dated women before. The scene where he realized he was falling for Adachi was just so cute. What's funny is how Adachi now wants to one-up Kurosawa, not realizing that it was his unintentional charm that got Kurosawa interested in the first place.

Adachi is getting to know his colleagues better, but it's happening in this weird, sort of awkward way...

For Adachi, he hates social events...and has to put up with the new hire: Rokkaku, who's a bit of a playboy. Kurosawa, however, makes him give way so that he can sit next to Adachi, and also sing karaoke...which as expected, takes the department by tears and storm being the most popular person. In retrospect to Adachi, he feels neglected, as such with Fujisaki, who cares for everyone first, and someone whom Adachi would be interested in. But Fujisaki getting harassed by other workers, Adachi steps in, but Kurosawa does the work to earn his usual praise. However, hearing Kurosawa's thoughts, Adachi fels even more conflicted that he did not give any attention to him, which increases his anxiety.

The slight tummy sure has Kurosawa fantasizing about Adachi in the sauna, that's both hot in one way or another. But regardless, Kurosawa has always been blessed with good things coming his way, apart from his hard work. This is in comparison to Adachi who's the complete opposite of him, yet lives on the expectations of everyone having a pretty face. Yet, Adachi feels a tingling that Kurosawa can connect with, which the latter starts noticing the former, only for his love for him to grow more and more.

It's nice for Kurosawa to notice Adachi more. Go for the gay!

Damn, I'd probably fall in love too if I was ever in a situation like that.


It's funny how down-to-earth this feels, even when Adachi has a literal supernatural ability. The backstory gave so much depth to Adachi's and Kurosawa's dynamic! The fact that neither of them have been in love with a man before surprised me, but in a good way. I feel like it brings a sort of fresh angle to the story.

We finally saw exact moment Kurosawa fell in love with Adachi. That was so sweet!
it's getting harder for Kurosawa to hold back now that he is eperiencing his first true love. Also, the younger colleague is handsome too. I want him XD

Anyway, loving this seires, and it's probably one of the few anime where male characters have nipples lol

Ok, so Adachi is bisexual, right? Because his behavior would be utterly stupid if he was straight.

Really hope he is bi, because Kurosawa would be so sad otherwise :(

The Yamazaki whisky means she got at least she got taste in drinks and men as well.

Being handsome is nice, but as with many privileges in life it comes with it's own difficulties and expectations will usually be higher. Adachi however sees Kurosawa for who he really is.

I was looking forward to another episode until I realized it came out today!! Super happy about that. Rokkaku's voice made me cringe so hard. Ngl I'm a little disappointed that Kurosawa wasn't tone deaf. I wish they translated the lyrics. Aww Kurosawa came to the rescue! Adachi finally realized that Kurosawa is cute and invited him to get ice cream ahhhh <3 does Kurosawa want Adachi to be a femboy? lol Kurosawa loves Adachi's tummy while Adachi thinks he should start working out. Duality of man. Daaamn, Adachi made Kurosawa blush the very first time Kurosawa realized he liked Adachi. But at that point did Adachi have the ability to read minds? When will we get to learn more about his power to read minds? I was a little confused at first when the bench scene and the party. I need more episodes!!!
This never updates so that's cool

@cooldogmom No at the time Adachi didn't have the ability to read minds and he gained it when he turned 30 yrs old.

So far so good. Having only watched the drama adaptation before this and not read the manga, I was confused by how the events unfolded so far, especially with Kurosawa's "this is how I fell for Adachi" part was already in episode 3 and not later on. Will be interesting to see how the rest of this series goes. I'm worried about how they're going to treat Fujisaki, though. They did her justice in the JP drama, did her VERY dirty in the TH adaptation of said drama, so now I'm just hoping that she gets more fleshed out than being flustered and shy like she was shown to be this week.
if you told me we were dreaming, i would pinch you to prove we're awake.

Not much to say, another good episode. It was nice to get most of the episode from Kurosawa's perspective this time. Didn't take much for him to fall in love with Adachi...

I do kinda wish the story didn't commit the annoying trope you see in most BL where the characters were 100% straight but fall in love with this one and only guy. Though I guess Kurosawa's sexuality isn't confirmed and he could be bi. Just making the assumption he's straight since he only has dated women.

Adachi seems to be 100% straight. idk why I'm getting so hung up on this, but I enjoy BL so much more when it's made clear that one or both of the characters is confirmed to be not straight from the get go..or at least questioning their sexuality instead of being like, "nope I'm 100% only into women" . Just feels more realistic....

This episode had me on my toes I wont lie! The flashback scene confused me a little at first but then it clicked LOL. I cant believe Kurosawa was getting so jealous over those 2 coworkers, so silly! The backstory was fun but it felt a little like aw poor pretty privilege man but maybe it’s just me. Overall I am liking this show so far and am eagerly awaiting for next weeks episode!

Am I the only one noticing the animation quality keeps changing every episode? Ep 1 had better quality than Ep 2, ep 2's animation was ORANGE quality it was so terrible. Ep 3 was on par with EP 1, just a tad bit cleaner. It's a small nitpick but I just noticed it.

Having read the manga eons ago (I don't plan on rebuying it :( ) I feel like they're doing it justice with the pace their going. It feels just like how I felt while reading the manga, pure fluff. The VA are a great pick too ^^ amidst the animation nitpick I'm still looking forward to it

Didn't expect Kurosawa to be Bi, thought he'd be 100% gay like most BL settings. Now that makes him jealous of both men and women nearing Adachi, poor dude :(

This is my first BL show, I really am enjoying it. I love how relatable Adachi is, I am 29, so I can def relate to feeling like people won't like me because x, y, or z. And being awkward or never knowing what to do when O interact with someone I like. But it does make me cringe, imagining knowing someone likes you and knowing what they wanna do to you or think about you would freak me out. Like just knowing how someone feels about me makes me cringe in general. So hearing Yuichi talk about Adachi like that made me scream internally lol.

But I am confused if Adachi is bisexual or just likes Yuichi because of the attention Yuichi gives him since Adachi has very little romantic experience. Im curious if others wonder that too? I have never read the manga, so I am unsure if I am correct about that since I have only seen 3 episodes so far.

@Antisocialsempai Yes! There was Japanese drama from 2020, and a Thai adaptation that started airing recently-ish. I haven't watched the Thai one but the JP drama is one of my fave comfort dramas. :P The JP version is on Crunchyroll at least. :>

@September OKAY I def have to watch it now, I really like this anime. And I love the fact this show represents issues in my age group lol. As soon as I saw your post mentioning the drama I looked it up now I have something to watch for the rest of the day. XD

I really disliked the party segment. One cliche after another and the side characters are all such annoying jerks. Ok, this is not exclusive ot this part, but particularly prominent there.

Kurosawa's backstory was better. He's pretty cute crushing on Adachi.
