Ah, so when Claudio was young he was a reluctant boy-toy for rich women... LOL

I feel for the poor guy, always having his ex hanging around while he still carries a torch for her.

What a good episode. Claudio apparently has an amusing history of being molested by various women. I laughed.

This anime is really slow paced and hard to stay interested in :/ I feel slightly reluctant to continue watching it but it's not so terrible that I'd drop it when it's almost done.

Felt awful for Claudio, so gentle and being used llike that... but then I read these comments and couldn't stop laughing! :X It was nice to find out his motivation for becoming a cameriere. Can't decide if current or younger Claudio is cuter, also his interaction with Nicoletta had me smiling the whole time ^^

Poor Claudio, who would have thought that so many people would take advantage of him like that. You just never know anymore.

Hah, what a silly episode. Claudio was such a pushover in his younger days. I felt like his old manager should of looked much older. It was 20 years later and all they changed was some his hair color to gray. Also Furio has a great quote in the beggining of the episode that pretty much sums up the entire episodes point. "Everyone's an amateur when they first start." It's great to see Nicolleta's and Claudio's beginnings parallel each others. Even though there is such a great age difference between them they have more in common than i thought.

They better have an explanation for how they got Furio to work at Dell orso. He was practically the most awesome shef in Rome.

I see what they meant by how Claudio not knowing what to do whenever a woman comes onto him.

Because of that, I can truly enjoy the slow pace of their relationship, Claudio and Nicolletta's

Gotta say it was the right choice to make this about a bunch of old guys. With age comes experience and they all have rich backstories that have added so much depth to how they've developed and grown. It also goes to show that everyone has to start somewhere. As Furio said, everyone starts as an amateur.

ooh Claudio looked so much different and handsome. i feel really bad for him though...the creepy old lady.

i think if they drew the eyes properly i would have enjoyed the art much more, young Claudio and Furio had normal eyes but now they got the dead fish eyes. it's really annoying as an art style. i like Angela's eyes as well

The thing is that many underestimate how disgusting middle aged women from the late 30's to the early 60's can be. Ranging from staring at the gym to suggestive flirting at work.

But glad for Claudio that he has found his place where he can feel comfortable.

It's nice that things worked out for Claudio, he did not have it easy! I'd like a little bit more backstory on Furio though, I wonder why he began working at dell'orso.

Grand Budapest Hotel anyone? Also, you can definitely see the author reusing the same character structure from House of Five Leaves. Same story structure in general, same themes.

Nicoletta also reminds me of Phos from Land of the Lustrous, both in her facial expressions and personality.

Now I understand why Claudio was so hesitant with women approaching him. But I'm glad he was able to meet Furio all those years ago when he was being bullied. The pasta Furio made for him to eat looks soooo yummy

Feel bad for Claudio, like wtf with that sexual harassment? >_< His interaction with Nicoletta when she almost forced herself on him now plays in a new light, and it feels even worse. But I also hope we get more development between those two... I wonder what his actual feelings are about her advances, he doesn't seem too opposed, but then again he can be just too nice for his own good.
