Review of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Wotakoi is probably one of the best rom comedy that I watched. It has a simple plot but is well done. Instead of the typical high school romance setting, this is set in a typical Japan office workplace with otaku adults. It mainly focuses on two couples and what they do after work. The main couple is Narumi, a closet otaku and then Hirotaka, a big gamer who doesn't really try to hide that fact. The other couple is Koyanagi and Kabakura, and they are sport otaku who tend to argue a lot. I love the scenes where they game, go out to drink, andjust share their bond for anime/manga. This makes it more relatable for me at least. The show touches up on the struggles in their relationships but has a lot of cute moments as well as the characters try to change and improve their relationship. There's not much drama and the comedy blends in really nice! It's so cute too and I love the game references. (ex. mario kart!!) There's nothing unique about the show, but the fact that it's so relatable makes it so much fun to watch. Who doesn't play games after work or watch anime?!

OP and ED are very good and I can't stop listening to the ED. This show was probably my favorite this season excluding the long shonen anime.
