This anime is like... the Gekkan Shoujo of 2018, a feel good romcom with an eccentric cast of characters. It's fun and relateable and just feels good to watch. I hope there's a future sequel but I doubt it will happen unfortunately. Loved hearing Ito Kento and Sugita voicing the male leads and shout out to Miyuki as well. I just hope we get more anime like this in the future, one where the MCs are actually adults.

Relaxing couple time.

Main girl visiting main guy's house unannounced and anothe pair is curious. He has been playing without eating.

Ichijinsha CM is no narration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1_p1W5XWeo

Female gamer girl is worried about KajiKaji's character, who hasn't been in the game a while.

lol @ about BL and fighting. Main guy try everything before deciding, but senpai guy doesn't want to try BL.

First time cooking and he likes it. Nao-chan taking care of his brother?

KajiKaji's character appeared. It seems like he couldn't borrow his brother's laptop to play game and has been busy part-timing.

lol @ senpai guy liking it after trying it out.

Little date and arriving to park. lol @ suddenly wanting to go home to watch TV. lol even more @ main guy running to response to her.

First love theory?! KajiKaji's character joins and talks about his first love being kindergarten teacher, who married. lol @ him spoiling out that his brother's first love is the main girl.

Main girl bumped into female gamer girl.

I'm going to copy and paste what I thought after the ending. I wrote this months ago. Interesting romance between adults. The otaku theme makes the anime much better in terms of writing and interactions. Good comedy. It's not a clickbait like Gamers! from 2017. 4/5 for this episode. 7/10 for the anime, my AOTS

What a pity it's the last episode, I enjoyed Wotakoi a lot.
Narumi was such a good girlfriend this episode! And Hanako actually manage to make Kabakura read BL. She's basically Goddess of Fujoshi.

Well as thought this was a pretty lovely open ending and to be honest I really loved it! I would really love to see a sequel to this, but I am not sure if we'll get any even though with the ending credits stating "See you again!".

Still this anime was one of the better romance/slice of life anime I have seen in a long time so I do must say that I found this anime just great!

All in all it was a great anime to marathon and finish!

Such a nice way to finish it! This episode was one of the strongests, it might even be my favorite alongside the first one.

I loved the way it started, with Kabakura and Hana-chan just enjoying their hobbies together in a nice holiday, a few memories and his inability to get a clue when she tried to propose a romantic date just for the two of them. xD And I'm glad Kabakura finally tried some BL and liked it! I wish we got another season of Hitorijime my Hero animated, I'm always ready for more of Kousuke-san ~

And then Narumi's surprise visit to Hirotaka, the poor girl only found a corpse! Just kidding, but almost, it was pretty funny, also the way he totally forgot she was there and just went naked for a towel. lol

The little talk about first loves at the end was also pretty good! The most relatable one was Otonashi Kiyoko from Kabakura, but I loved the 2.5D from Hana-chan naming a seiyuu. xD

The little bits with Kou-kun was also great, it's just a pity we won't be able to see her relationship blooming with Nao-chan, at least not for now. I really loved this anime, one of the most relatable I ever watched, I thought I was 90% Hirotaka, but surprisingly I can identify with the way Kabakura enjoy his hobby, by himself, not feeling comfortable enough to share the experience too.

LAST EPISODE!

Hiro fainting because he forgot to eat reminds me of cases of some gamers in Taiwan, South Korea, etc. who died because they didn't eat, sleep, etc.

I'm not hardcore a yaoi or BL fan (since I like yuri more) but I ship characters regardless of their identity, gender, sex, orientation, etc. just for fun. Hell, I ship Zero Two with her storybook. However, Kabakura is obviously one of those straight guys who are only homophobic towards gay men. There are women who are the same, they love BL and yaoi but hate lesbians and shoujo-ai. These kind of people are absolute hypocrites.

Hypocrite Kabakura says, "men and women should be enough" for female fans but he's the fucking hypocrite who likes shoujo-ai. A lot of straight girls read yaoi and BL so why can't straight men do the same? He's the one limiting himself. How come Hirotaka can easily read it without feeling like his own masculinity is at risk? At least he finally tried it and thought the story was good. He even wanted to read more. Sometimes when I read a BL or yaoi series, when the sex becomes redundant I just skip that and focus on the story instead.

Too bad Kou and Naoya couldn't have more screen time together. Honestly, they're my favorite pair in this entire series because of how pure and innocent they are. There's so much potential there too. Naoya was so cute having a crush on his kindergarten teacher. How fucking pure is that? Naoya even put his brother on blast.

I thing it finished in a great way, with a lovely yet very funny moment at last (nifuji secret LOL), i wish there will be a sequel for this series since we need to see more of naoya and kou XD, and of course another lovely funny moment's from every pairing

There are lot of things that need to be shown like how the development of nifuji and narumi relationship especially how narumi slowly realized how hardworking and serious nifuji toward her and more backstory about relationship hanako and kabakura( gintoki and tsukuyo XD).

This series totally left a big smile on my face every episode that i watch, and i totally loved it 10/10 for me

i really love how narumi doesn't make a big deal out of seeing hirotaka naked. she just screams to him to get dressed and that's it. no trauma, no one is over embarrassed. that's pretty mature for anime, even here, so kudos to that.

and i really hope we get a second season somewhere along the line. everything that's been released so far from the manga has been adapted here, but with the story still ongoing, i'd really love a second season when they have enough material.
wotakoi is nothing major but it's really entertaining and endearing. probably one of my favourites just because it always makes me feel pretty good after watching an episode. <3

This is a pretty average anime. I think it's better than your typical romcom slice of life and the references had some good moments, but ultimately it's just one of those pretty forgettable series for me.

Of course it doesn't. He's not even her type. If you see someone you've got the hots for naked, while never having done it before.. You will be embarrassed. IO can promise you that she'd have a much cuter reaction if she saw Tarou naked instead.

Absolutely loved every single moment of this anime X)

The comedy was right up my alley <3 and my ships always delivered, ugh. So satisfying X] Except it'd have been nice to have some more mature scenes in here ;D ;D At least a kiss scene would've worked too ;A; maybe in S2 :3 if they make one (they better) :3

I wanna say 9/10 cuz no kiss xD buuuut... maybe 10/10... Hmm..... I love it as much as Net-juu tho, so I'll just give em the same 9/10 ratings, ahhah x3 maybe if there are a S2 for both series with more love progress, I'll bump up :X

I don't know why, but for some reason, every time I watch a lot of these romcom anime, there's always something that makes me not like it.

In the case of this show, the majority of the jokes felt akin to The Big Bang Theory: "Hey look, we're referencing something lol", "Hey look, the characters are geeks lol"

At least it didn't take place in high school.

Well, it was really good anime. Sometimes we need simple things to spend our time. And this anime never dared to bore me with it's simplicity. Good couples, parents like senpai, little bit comic moment. overall it all worth to watch.

This anime was actually very enjoyable. I liked various pairings n ship teases esp. Koyonagi x Kabakura but also KabaHiro, HitoNaru and KabaNaru. KoyoHiro wasn't half-bad either. Also, Nao x Kou was just as likable as other ships. A satisfying experience for sure.

wew feels like it's really starting to become good.. fairly enjoyable series overall though I really didnt like how they started the series with a love-less relationship. It was made into a joke, the writer tried to play it off as romantic and cute sometimes, I don't know about you guys, but in the back of my head the thought that Momose is not really in love with Hirotaka keeps popping up resulting in much lesser enjoyment watching said cute scenes. They're for sure developing though so the cute/romantic scenes have more weight but the earlier scenes were a bit ehh.

The banter is also getting a bit old, Hanako and Kabakura almost always argue about the same shit and the resolution is always almost the same. Somewhat the same for Hirotaka and Momose.

A nice ending to the show, although I wish Hirotaka didn't stop his brother from saying what he meant :P
Kabakura's face at the end was priceless as well.

I liked this anime a lot, although I can't say it was perfect. The main characters were all pretty likeable, with Kabakura and Narumi being my favorites. Nao was okay at best, and Kou is pretty much non-existent in my eyes, but that's fine I guess.
I wish there were a bit more romantic scenes between our main couple, but at least we had some scenes like the ending of the theme park episode and a bit here as well.
As it stands now, I'm giving the anime an 8/10. Sounds about right. I hope it will have a 2nd season in the future.

Must make offerings in hopes of a second season...

must find out what happens when Nao realizes Kou is a girl...
must find out what happens when Kou realizes Nao doesn't know she's a girl...
Kou just recognized a "word" in the conversation fragment she overheard; is she into more than gaming?
They didn't catch on that the person they just passed is Nao's friend Kou.

THERE MUST BE MORE!!!!!

The last episode is so hilarious! We get to see Hirotaka x Narumi, Tarō x Hanako, and Nao x Kou moments! ~❤️

I love the "Hitorijime My Hero" reference. ~❤️

That post-credit scene!

This show is pure enjoyment. No unnecessary fanservice and drama. It is relatable to many viewers who are otaku (like me). ~❤️

Loved how they focused on each relationship equally!

All of the characters were really funny and it was fun watching them during this anime!

Overall,
It was fun and simple
really enjoyed it a lot especially kabakura and koyanagi's interactions.

Very relatable anime though but only 11 episodes why not make it 12 or 13 ehh

I hope for 2nd season and more development from them and i want to see Kou become more girl in style

So 9/10 for me!
