This review contains SPOILERS for I Have a Crush at Work . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In a season devoid of major romcoms no one expected an ordinary office romance to pop off this hard but it did. Wotakoi fans rejoice. Romance fans rejoice. Those specific ass people who cant get through generic love stories in a high school setting anymore ... Rejoice Because what we have here is a clearcut representation of a mature and healthy relationship without the need of any bullshit drama. https://v.animethemes.moe/KonoSukiOP1. Overview KonoSuki is a simple story about two lovers secretly dating at their job. When the papers are piled up and their eyes just happen to meet during the busy hours all they do is fight. However when the lights shut off and the sheets cover up theyre unable to resist embracing one anothers souls. It cant be helped. This is just how the other workers are used to seeing them so it makes sense to hide their true feelings by acting as they always have. If you hate witnessing them annoying romcom tropes I doubt youd have any problems with this one since the premise cant really be called farfetched. 600https://nami.news/wordpress/wpcontent/uploads/2024/09/KonoKaishaniSukinaHitogaImasuMangaCoverVolume1e1725959246888.jpg Yall probably forgot what a healthy rel is ngl Lemme provide you a breath of fresh air different from the exaggerated shit you endured when watching those school romcoms. Its better to explain afterwards so Ill just give an example rn: 600https://cdn.chest.com/files/4gdcx2gzpr4.png Masugu wanted to surprise Yui by buying her a gift and taking her to a fancy restaraunt for their 6month anniversary. Yui happened to see him wandering around after he had reluctantly lied to her about staying home in order to set up the preparations. This was an issue because Masugu and Yui never ever lied to each other. Yui not wanting to doubt his partner tried to figure out what was going on with him. She trusted him so much that it felt unusual when he started hiding something. Yui being the wifematerial she is directly confronted Masugu and urged him to explain the situation she waited a few days too. Masugu was hesitant at first but his priority immmmeeeeediately changed after the secret began to visibly hurt Yui... So the fancy restaraunt ended up being fully booked and the gift got revealed before the date. And then they fucked Like seriously when was the last time you saw the main couple of a romance have intercourse within the first two episodes. DOMESTIC GIRLFRIEND WAS YOUR LAST TIME RIGHT? This must be because of the Seinen demograph cuz aint no way. They made it romantic as shit too. I aint see no fan service no nothing. Just two heartfelt individuals embracing each others physical bodies and souls. aight Im not getting into this Yeah Im not done Heres what I absolutely adore about this show the most. The two set realistic goals for themselves to accomplish. They supported each others work projects to the fullest whilst also making time for their own. Heck they even made a bet for motivational purposes. When Yui was stressed out and quite obviously frustrated due to the lack of progress in her project Masugu let her know that even though he may not be able to physically help her complete it he would be there. Sometimes thats all you gotta do. Stay by their side and believe that everything will work out. I see why so many women are into this man. This absolute chad of a male constantly notices the emotions his partner is feeling and acts accordingly without hesitation. Admit it. Yall like it when the male lead aint an incel right? Of course you do. 600https://i.yt.com/vi/U7NdR62LuCs/hq720.jpg?sqp=oaymwE7CK4FEIIDSFryq4qpAy0IARUAAAAAGAElAADIQj0AgKJD8AEBAHCYAC0AWKAgwIABABGFcgWihlMA8=rs=AOn4CLC3BTQsELoM8TKHEWYrLPfdhVL1w 600https://ramenparados.com/wpcontent/uploads/2024/11/KonoKaishaNiSuki00.jpg These two are able to set boundaries. Theyre able to distinguish between their love life and their jobs which is where the premise comes in handy too. A healthy grownup couple striving for selfimprovement supporting each others objectives providing each others needs. A goodlooking thoughtful dude and a realisticallyproportioned gorgeous woman expressing their romantic desires in a hidden manner simultaneously being the biggest green flags in existence. What more do you need from a sliceoflife romance? SOL enjoyers. Look me dead in the eyes and tell me ts wasnt gas. I dare you. Soooooo I did not expect this type of casual romance anime to be as good as it is. Going as far as getting into my Top 15 favourite romance anime oat. Cmon. If you read my review and watched the show you understand why Im favouring it this much. Ever since I acknowledged the quality of this show around ep 45 everytime a new episode came out I couldnt help but imagine what my own relationship as a working adult would be like. Aye maybe I could learn a thing or two from this show abt productivity and a healthy rel. As for the rating ig somewhere between a 7 to an 8 will suffice. Btw: I dont know if it was always like that or was it because of the adaptation but the romance between Somei and Hayakawa couldve been better executed. I think there were people who preferred to watch their progress over the main leads so its quite unfortunate. Maybe its better more wellpaced and more is shown in the manga though. There probably wont be a 2nd season anyways so why not move on to the source material? And now heres a vibe of an ED from a new artist by the name of pachae https://anilist.co/staff/343890/pachae. His voice is so vibey and majestic that I thought he was the singer for Comedy Spy X Family Ed 1 at first. Show some love. https://v.animethemes.moe/KonoSukiED1. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
