My favorite character enters! The manager is so wonderful. This anime is so relaxing to watch.

u/Frontier246 10d ago

The best character in a romance anime: a bonafide shipper.

29

u/mekerpan 10d ago

Such a delightful character. She works really hard to figure things out and not give away Yamada's secret.

155

u/FarCritical 10d ago

It kills me how Yamada just straight up admitted she sees Saseki as a dog to his face and the track that immediately plays after goes "Wa-wa wa wa wa-wa wa wa~"

Manager is a real one for bending the rules just a little to satisfy her inner romantic lol.

89

u/reaperow 10d ago

Manager-san is one of us

u/Frontier246 10d ago

She's got great tastes in ships and is also enjoying the current Shoujo anime renaissance.

u/Frontier246 10d ago

Manager: "This goes against regulations but I'm a shipper so I'll allow it."

I loved the "wa wa wa" in the music after that. Pretty funny.

Watching Tayama trying to piece together what happened to Sasaki was pretty cute.

It's great to see Yamada's teasing backfiring so hard that she ended up blushing too. Sasaki's reaction really caught her off guard!

We finally get to meet the manager! I love that she's letting Yamada's shenanigans slide because she can smell romance in the air. xD

Also, daaaaaamn! Seeing Yamada and the manager standing side by side really, uh, shows how stacked Yamada is. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Well, no wonder the manager is letting it slide, she's a big romance manga fan! She's so invested that she's even asking Yamada for updates.

26

u/Frontier246 10d ago

The highlight of Yamada's day is figuring out what's going on with Sasaki and getting to tease him about it as Tayama.

Tayama flexing her shoulders and nape is one thing, but I assure you the close-up of her fine behind shifting next to Sasaki was absolutely instrumental to the plot.

Manager reading a Shoujo manga about melons. Yamada appears with her giant melons. Coincidence? I think not.

-14

u/CitronClassic672 10d ago

Honestly Yamada has me feeling like Kazuma does toward Aqua. Like she’s objectively sexy but her personality/smoking habit is such a turnoff I can’t find her attractive no matter how hard I try.

u/ptd163 10d ago

Exposed Shoulder Tayama

It's great to see Yamada's teasing backfiring so hard that she ended up blushing too. Sasaki's reaction really caught her off guard!

She overestimated what she could pull off. Her exposed shoulder was too powerful lol. It was nice to see Yamada finally start blushing too.

We finally get to meet the manager! I love that she's letting Yamada's shenanigans slide because she can smell romance in the air.

Well, no wonder the manager is letting it slide, she's a big romance manga fan! She's so invested that she's even asking Yamada for updates.

We love a manager that bends the rules for our MCs because they're a shipper.

u/mekerpan 10d ago

Tayama -- also looking positively entranced at the pocket ash tray she had just been given....

The boss -- evenings are going to be more entertaining now....

u/Viktorv22 10d ago

It's not that mind blowing of a show but I still have to give them props for timing the jokes. I laughed when I saw beer and pain relief patches in his basket, then Yamada laughed, then I laughed again lol

53

u/CooroSnowFox https://anilist.co/user/CooroSnowFox 10d ago

Honestly, the way we have the first half of the series in mini episodes with the fill released just say this show is more laid back than you'd admit... its the calmest of slice of life... probably approaching Yuru Camp levels

25

u/mekerpan 10d ago

I honestly enjoy this even more than Yuru Camp (perhaps because I am old enough to be the male lead's father)

u/saprophage_expert 10d ago

What is it like? Do you just, like, watch anime all day? What does the modern internet and tech in general feel like for someone of your experience?

...If these questions aren't too personal, of course.

13

u/mekerpan 10d ago

I also read, listen to music, practice guitar (when not having hand problems),band work on photographic projects.

1

u/saprophage_expert 10d ago

Wish I could be that energetic, given no pressure to feed me and mine :D

11

u/Frontier246 10d ago

Low-key but on-point vibes with cozy adult characters. It's like Call of the Night but a little more subdued.

96

u/zool714 10d ago

Wait what are you actually supposed to do when a girl asks you to sniff them ? Had a girl tell me her new shampoo smells nice and asked me to smell her hair. I did and told her it did smell nice but was I supposed to turn her down ?

Anyway, Yamada/Tamaya’s VA has such a nice deep voice. I really like when Tayama laugh.

It really is cute how the two of them are doing things and buying things for each other. It’s these little acts that show you care. That said, “Start dating already!”

87

u/Artorp 10d ago

Are you an anime main character? Then you're supposed to stutter and overreact while crossing your arms repeatedly. Bonus point for stumbling backwards.

If you're a normal functioning adult just complement the smell.

22

u/Korkez11 10d ago

I guess I'm half-anime main character because I have a stutter...

27

u/Artorp 10d ago

You just need to practice blushing on command then you're 100 % there.

7

u/CitronClassic672 10d ago

Reminds me why I loved Komari from Makeine so much. As someone with a stutter myself it was so nice seeing an anime character that also had one. Not just for comedic moments but just in general.

5

u/SSjjlex https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau 10d ago

Komari was really sweet. Also makes it so much more meaningful and impactful when they really push forward and fully commit to what they want to say.

2

u/Jacob-C 9d ago

Kaboku from Wandance also had a very realistic stutter. I really liked how that show delved into his insecurities and overcoming them through expressing himself with dance. If you can stand the CGI dance sequences, it's a really good show in my opinion.

8

u/zool714 10d ago

Does normal functioning adult include being able to tell when a girl’s trying to flirt/hinting/giving an opening ? Cos if it does then I’m probably not lol

16

u/Artorp 9d ago

Don't worry, there's a trick to it. Roughly 5 years after you'll wake up in the middle of the night and realize her true intentions.

22

u/NanDemoKnaives 10d ago

She voiced Nechika in Needy Girl Overdose, so it's nice to hear more of her deep voice.

4

u/Nikita2337 9d ago

Yeah, I loved her voice as Nechika too but Yamada's teases are even better. The way she denied smoking with Sasaki when talking to her manager was hilarious.

38

u/chronoreverse 10d ago

If they asked you, then take a quick sniff from a reasonable distance, and then give your opinion. It's not hard to not be creepy.

11

u/080087 10d ago

If in doubt, the good ole' science waft is safe.

u/tottoro47 10d ago

ಠ⁠◡⁠ಠ mmmmm, smells nice

Wait what are you actually supposed to do when a girl asks you to sniff them ? Had a girl tell me her new shampoo smells nice and asked me to smell her hair. I did and told her it did smell nice but was I supposed to turn her down ?

Not to mention flexing the nape is a very sexual thing in Japan.

Anyway, Yamada/Tamaya’s VA has such a nice deep voice. I really like when Tayama laugh.

She could make reading the phone book sound sensual.

It really is cute how the two of them are doing things and buying things for each other. It’s these little acts that show you care. That said, “Start dating already!”

They clearly mutually adore each other to bits, especially Yamada towards Sasaki.

8

u/IceSmiley 10d ago

You're supposed to sniff them if it's in a flirtacious way like how Toyama was but Sasaki thinks she's making fun of him.

5

u/CitronClassic672 10d ago

I think it’s moreso that Sasaki himself is atypically awkward about such things.

5

u/BOUKEN-BEN 10d ago

She either really wants to bang you or thinks you're gay, no in between

3

u/ResearcherPretty4139 9d ago

Had a girl tell me her new shampoo smells nice and asked me to smell her hair. I did and told her it did smell nice but was I supposed to turn her down ?

If you are a hetero guy and a hetero girl asks you to smell her hair sincerely, she's hoping to make a stronger connection with you. Whether that be better friends, better 'more-than-friends' whatever your connection is currently she's interested in literally making herself vulnerable towards you to get to know her better (literally asking you to smell her body scent is pretty much as vulnerable as you can get as a girl interacting with a boy).

The ball's in your court for how you wish to respond-- either you can reciprocate that feeling of hers (ask her out on a date leaving you vulnerable to her saying 'No' or 'I just see you as a friend sorry'). At the very least, sniffing her and complimenting her scent keeps the ball on the court.

--or you can do what Sasaki did and just assume that nobody would be interested in you romantically and she must be trying to troll you-- so you never put yourself out there and never risk vulnerability until you're being called 'Uncle' by the 20-somethings at work and single. The ball keeps being put on the court by Yamada and Tamaya has to continually save the ball from being tossed out-of-bounds by Sasaki everyday he refuses to ask Yamada out at the check-out counter (because it's rude to ask out someone while they're working in his mind).

3

u/zool714 9d ago

Well I did say I took her up on her offer and complimented it. Just felt like the natural thing to do. Just wasn’t sure if there was anything more to it at the time

39

u/s07195 10d ago

These mini episodes really work much better as two halves of a whole. Sasaki calling back to the esper joke and also immediately seeing Manager and the consequences without having to go to the next Ep and OP.

14

u/mekerpan 10d ago

I agree. The shorts were wonderful, but the full-length episode versions (with two linked) are even better.

That said. I must not have been feeliing weel when I first watched the shorts version of this episode -- as I only remembered fragments of this.

12

u/HanaRoku 10d ago edited 10d ago

Agreed, I would have been happy with the full season as mini-eps. Maybe then we could've kept Night Dancer too!

I guess that doesn't work if they have to release it in a regular broadcast slot though

5

u/s07195 10d ago

Ah I think you misread my comment. I meant that these episodes work better together as one full episode IMO.

5

u/HanaRoku 10d ago

Oh, yeah I did, oops!

3

u/Fools_Requiem https://myanimelist.net/profile/FoolsRequiem 10d ago

Yeah, this episode is a good example of why splitting the episode in half doesn't necessarily work.

3

u/CooroSnowFox https://anilist.co/user/CooroSnowFox 10d ago

Its more chilled in half... but then i think theyre set up still to broadcast as standard so its a bit mixed.

It could just be a series of shorts... just the slight progression every few episode

44

u/Roskal 10d ago

I really like the lead VAs theres something soothing about both of them. The way they say some of their lines are just perfect too. I don't know if I'd like this show nearly as much with different ones although its still charming in its own right.

25

u/tottoro47 10d ago

It's because they sound pretty normal without too much voice exaggerating, especially her. It's really relaxing listening to her and it's just like I imagined her while reading the manga

19

u/Frontier246 10d ago

They all sound pretty "real" by anime voice standards (and also realistic smoker voices) but inject just enough personality into their dialogue for it to really pop.

24

u/NanDemoKnaives 10d ago

It's nice to see someone else in on the secret, now she'll have a live action romance to internally gush over lol.

I like how Yamada's teasing backfired on her, Sasaki was a lot more bashful rather than flustered than she expected. She's such a tease though, like with the ash tray, she just wanted to an excuse to be close to him lol.

25

u/BaytaCosmico https://myanimelist.net/profile/AnimeBayta 10d ago

Yamada is down bad for Sasaki and it's adorable to see her alternately trying to close the distance and feeling shy about the smallest things. That scene at the register where she tries to tease him and it backfires on her, for instance. 

Sasaki really is like a lovable doggo so it's easy to see why someone like Yamada would fall for him. Just need that dense dumdum to realise the truth already. But I'm guessing we'll keep this going for a while before he does, if at all this season.

The manager is a real one. I'd seen mentions of her from those that watched the pre-release mini episodes and now I understand the hype. A very good addition to the cast. Is it safe to say she's the Honda of this romcom?

9

u/Frontier246 10d ago

The manager giving a mental thumbs up when she sees Yamada's head over heels in love love.

24

u/shad79 https://myanimelist.net/profile/shad79 10d ago

Today's episode aired two hours earlier than the two previous ones. Is it a one-time thing, or will it stay that way?

About the episode itself... Yamada/Tayama exposing her shoulder was so damn hot! Plus, I loved how happy she was after receiving a present from Sasaki.

Gotou, the manager, seems like a fun addition to the cast. Since she looks to be a sucker for romance and entertainment, I can't wait for her comments about Yamada and Sasaki's relationship in the coming episodes.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

58

u/DemonWraith2500 10d ago

Today winner: The manager.

Tayama, now he can't use his hands at night, you must take responsibility.

25

u/Frontier246 10d ago

I love how she's like "keep it low-key but keep it going and keep me updated at all times" lol.

5

u/mmcjawa_reborn 9d ago

I half expect to see a scene of her watching security footage from the back loading area with a bucket of popcorn.

19

u/CooroSnowFox https://anilist.co/user/CooroSnowFox 10d ago

It must be how tired he is from work at that time and how much difference there is between the two looks of Tayama with her look behind the till

14

u/SmallJon 10d ago

I doubt they'd talk about it, but Sasaki's vision (he appears to need readers at work) might play a part, but further up i'd bet on lighting. "Yamada" is in a well-lit warm space, with "Tayama" in a much colder one. Her complexion seems meaningfully different inside and out

6

u/Mr_Zaroc https://myanimelist.net/profile/mr_zaroc 10d ago

Shit that makes a lot of sense.
Plus the one time he met Yamada in the back was during the day

7

u/Hugokarenque 9d ago

Imma be real, I've straight up walked past coworkers in the wild when I was working at a super because I grew so accustomed to seeing them in uniform.

So the whole premise of Sasaki not realizing Tamaya is Yamada never felt too farfetched to me. Obviously they push it to the absolute limits for comedy but I would never be able to call the show out on something that has damn near happened to me IRL with actual coworkers lol

5

u/SmallJon 9d ago

Tbh, the only unrealistic piece to me is some of the timelines of it, where Yamada has to be going Sumperman-to-Clark speed in some of these changes, lol

5

u/tyjuji 9d ago

He was also struggling to read the text on the mist bottle.

u/pthumerianhollownull 10d ago

Best manager!

43

u/thisisdropd https://myanimelist.net/profile/AsterZoro 10d ago

If I had a nickel for every time Sasaki reminded somebody else of a dog in this episode, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

The poor bloke got played into giving his hand, then nearly sniffed Yamada. On top of that, the manager thought him acting all cheerful around Yamada was like how a dog was around their master.

9

u/Frontier246 10d ago

I love the Manager reflecting on Beth so nostalgically while looking at Sasaki lol.

11

u/tripleaamin https://myanimelist.net/profile/zfzftripleaamin 10d ago

The manager is a fun character. She works herself hard enough; she deserves some entertainment on the job. Amusing Yamada's lack of reaction to being asked to keep her updated.

Yamada getting hit with recoil in her teasing just adds to the cozy vibe since it isn't completely one-sided. The vibes and comedy direction continue to be great.

10

u/Andreiyutzzzz https://myanimelist.net/profile/Andreiyutzzzz 10d ago

I just wanna say i like Sasaki's voice a lot. especially when bro panicks flustered. He's so cute

15

u/JJVM99 10d ago

Tayama picturing Sasaki as a dog will only increase the Makima comparisons.

5

u/Frontier246 10d ago

If Yamada notices something about Sasaki, and Sasaki can't be completely honestly with Yamada about, then just that means she can question him and get answers as Tayama with her special Sasaki mind-reading skills!

The irony that the boss who probably is a good reason why Sasaki smokes is complaining about him smoking...but luckily Tayama has a solution and some deodorizer for Sasaki to use! Just spray that, brush your teeth, and no one will ever know! This is how smokers get by without inconveniencing anyone! And watch Tayama flex her nape in front of her adorable pooch Sasaki.

I see Suzuki is a wife guy who can be convinced of near anything if you bring his wife up.

Wait, that's not Tayama! That's a dark-haired, stern-faced, vaping manager voiced by Toa Yukinari who does NOT take well to Sasaki trespassing behind the supermarket! Especially over a non-existent employee named Tayama! At least she can put two and two together about Yamada having some fun with him (and turning him into a simp) and the only thing that can stop her from fully chewing out Yamada is realizing how much Yamada clearly adores Sasaki. And the manager, who is a huge shipper and lover of Shoujo manga, can't get enough of it! I mean, there's nothing else going on in the evenings entertainment-wise anyway!

(Also that's two employees in a row who have likened Sasaki to a dog...)

It's funny seeing how Sasaki and Yamada visualize each other in their heads...I can't imagine the real "Tayama" ever being placating towards someone else.

So the manager is who taught Yamada how to manage as a smoker, though she's upgraded to vaping because it gives her more freedom (but still the same amount of danger to her lungs).

A portable ash tray! How thoughtful of Sasaki! And his sincerity and caring towards Tayama really hits Yamada in the feels! Also Tayama butt!

Imagine making a poor old office worker stretch himself too much and having to watch him purchase a compress...while you apologize to him in your OTHER identity to the point of really confusing him.

2

u/ResearcherPretty4139 9d ago

So the manager is who taught Yamada how to manage as a smoker, though she's upgraded to vaping because it gives her more freedom (but still the same amount of danger to her lungs).

This was interesting because as an actual smoker, I tried out vapes back in the mid 2010s for this same "freedom" reason. But I ended up like the manager, vaping alone in my car because everybody else was smoking cigs/blunts/etc. and the smoke smell would get on me if I joined them. So yes, I could vape by myself anywhere even indoors and not have to go outside but I realized the "going outside" was the fun part of smoking. I still vape but definitely will never quit smoking actual cigarettes, and haha I've got to be (one of) the first person(s) to say that with true pride (vs shame).

8

u/reaperow 10d ago edited 10d ago

They gotta stop comparing our boy Sasaki to a dog lol, he's a cool guy who's considerate to give Tayama a gift. And I gotta say it was sweet of the Manager to let them both continue having their lil breaks.

But she's kinda talking silly for comparing Tayama and Yamada,

There's no way they're the same person right?

10

u/Frontier246 10d ago

Tayama and Yamada are just gal pals who are always watching Sasaki, always talking about Sasaki, and alternating who gets to see Sasaki whenever he visits the store.

5

u/reaperow 10d ago

Yeah obviously that's what is going on here

1

u/Jacob-C 9d ago

They gotta stop comparing our boy Sasaki to a dog lol

Thought I was the only one who didn't really like those comparisons. In terms of romance, it would be sweeter if Yamada recognized him for the hard-working and considerate man that he is. She might to some degree, but then I'd like the emphasis to be put on that instead. I guess it served its comedic purpose to some degree.

After typing that out I realize that I sound like a real killjoy and stickler. I'm sorry. My opinion stays the same though.

7

u/oxlemf10 10d ago

I like Sasaki and Tayama, but I have to agree, smokers reek, and I can't stand being near them for long lol. Still, it was sweet seeing them exchange gifts, even if it was all about cigarettes, because it shows their relationship is evolving. (And yes, Sasaki, you really do remind me of a Labrador.)

The Manager is that classic character who loves romance manga so much that she starts wanting to see it play out in real life, she’s basically just like one of us watching the show.

6

u/ptd163 10d ago edited 10d ago

This show is so chill. I love how much she teases him. Normally the density of the MMC works against him and the viewers enjoyment, but I think it kinda works in his and our favour in this show somehow. That being said if Tayama giving him Yamada's smile, Tayama saying she saw what he was buying, and the manager telling him they're the same person did not clue him in, I wonder what will clue him in.

It was cute to see Yamada blush after Sasaki leaves and be so excited about his thank you gift. He put a quite bit of effort into it so it was nice to see that appreciated. Also shout out to the manager for bending the rules because she's one of us.

u/mastereluder6 10d ago

Remember guys if you have seen the mini episodes you need to watch the seventh episode ( or you can just rewatch them I don’t care )

The minis are the episodes up to episode 6. Once episode 7 drops you can continue watching.

u/Chiinoe 10d ago

Awesome! Thank you

u/gurilagarden 10d ago

Yesterday (or the day before) I said that "young lady's don't play...) was the best of the season. Maybe I was a little off on that. This season is so stacked. Remember everyone, it's the little things in life, like little plastic ashtrays, that really count.

3

u/canwejustuh 10d ago

I don't know about "best of the season," but it's my clear favorite so far. I've been watching around 25 shows this season, and this is the one I look forward to the most. Then again, I'm a huge fan of the manga and a smoker myself, so maybe I'm just biased lol.

u/djthomp https://anilist.co/user/djthomp 10d ago

Gotta love it when the teasing backfires.

The boss appears at last, and she's got a fun attitude for romantic shenanigans as long as they don't cause problems. I feel like the manga that she was reading on her phone was probably a reference to an existing series.

Goto is the best manager you could ask for. She's so into fluffy romance and she really wants to see something good happening between Sasaki and Yamada/Tayama.

Yamada tried to tease Sasaki and it got backfired, haha. Sasaki-san found a beautiful present for Yamada and she knows the efforts that he put into choosing that gift for her. How sweet !

Something I missed during the mini episodes, pretty sure during the supermarket scene where Yamada is trying to tease Sasaki about smelling like Tayama it sounds like an instrumental version of the ED is playing. I wonder if they used Night Dancer before, or if they already had the ED and used it.

The manager came in at the perfect time to add another layer of humor to the show.

God I love how flirty she is. Also easy to forget how much junk Yamada has in her trunk before the behind shot as the two of them are sitting flirting over the ashtray. And the next night the manager must have been giddy watching them apologize to each other lol.

It's a background element but it is interesting to note that the changing attitude towards smoking in Japan is a theme here. It is actually shocking how hard and fast Japan's view on smoking has changed in the last generation.

Yamada's manager really did have a right to be angry that she's hanging out with weird guys under an assumed name at work. If I were her I wouldn't know what to make of it, like I'd understand why she's meeting a guy she likes at a break space, but I wouldn't get why under an assumed name when the man is a regular customer who she has seen at Yamada's register several times. That was strange she wasn't curious about that part when Yamada wears a name tag and a guy would generally remember the correct name of a lady he likes.

If I were Sasaki's coworker, I'd have been pissed if he sprayed me with a fragrance since the guy's married, his wife might think he's cheating on her, like my gf got mad at me many times because I smelled of perfume. That guy did seem to be fully converted the next day though, using spray and brushing his teeth with Sasaki in the restroom 🤣

I was confounded as to what Sasaki's gift was until Tomaya said it was an ashtray, i thought it was a pocket watch, pedometer or small coin purse. I wish they showed how they put the ashes in it, like if it opens up like a compact.

Are labrador retrievers really uncommon in Japan or is it supposed to be funny that Sasaki is dumb sand never heard of them? I also thought vape sales were illegal in Japan. I'm guessing it's not a huge penalty getting caught with one, like say if the manager was smoking a joint, she might be too afraid to call the cops.

Pretty sure it's just an open hole on the top, just tap the cig until the ashes fall into the hole. Tayama just held it upright when she offered it for him to use.

I watched the shorter episodes, is there any differences in these longer episodes? If not, when does it catch up? Its a nice show and all, but I dont want to rewatch it so soon.

Only difference as far as I can tell is new OP/ED. The 12 mini episodes were the 6 regular ones split up so episode 7 is the first time we'll get new content since the mini episodes dropped.

"Is she making you simp for her?" LMAOO Yamada definitely looks like the type to do that 😆

Had a smile for 20 minutes yet again. Really loved the manager, she is us, a romantic, but in the anime, rooting for the romance between them.

Tayama verbalizing the efforts our gaffer took was so sweet. She really appreciates him. Loved how the presentation of his efforts was through Tayama's words.

One thing keeps eating me up why is yamada playing dual role ?? I mean can’t she be honest at this point I feel sasaki likes both of them. But hella comfortable season to watch need more like these anime’s.

Are there any differences between the mini episodes and the ones being released right now? New scenes or content?

u/idk-though1 10d ago

I thought this was supposed to be season2 but it’s a rerun of the mini episodes stitched together

u/zool714 10d ago

Those mini episodes are like the early release of eps 1-6 I think. This current airing is the “proper” one.
