Review of Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku
If you want to feel butterflies and sigh wishing you were the main character, this ones for you! I've been looking for so long for an anime like this and Ive finally found it. All i can say is that I did enjoy this show despite it being so short. *Stuff i think couldved been improved with the story: First major problem I had though is development. There was, it did exist, but its too small of a development. In my opinion there should've been more progress between the two characters, thats what made the anime lack. Second is the secondary main couple, Hana and Kabakura. Theymay be funny but their relationship makes me concerned. I feel like if you remove the veil of comedy, their relationship would make you worry. There's bursts of sweetness here and there, but if this kind of relationship existed in real life it wouldn't last for long. The first thing that comes to mind to Kabakura when asked what he liked about her is big boobs, seriously?
Third, the background, world-building. It feels like a mess. I feel as if there was no proper build-up. Hirotakas confession(?) wouldve been more romantic if there was proper backstories and foreshadowing. Also that one episode where the two male leads drank with their coworkers, why didnt they just admit they were the boyfriends then? There's a lot of things that weren't properly explained
Fourth. The fact that they would often call others beautiful and look at them differently despite being in a relationship. Its always made me uncomfortable. Kabakura compliments Narumi jokingly and shit like that, Narumi even once stared too much at the barista whom she did not know was Hirotakas brother... like yeah I get it, being attracted isnt bad, but shouldnt you limit yourself with that when youre in a relationship?
Thats all. Aside from those I had lots of fangirling moments
