*(Watching as Kazama glows red from embarrassment from what he says also is both hilarious and adorable!)* But it’s when Kazama protects Sakurai from some horn-dogged men where it’s clear that they’re destined for each other. The advances these two make - dinner, presents, aquarium trips - are giant leaps compared to many other anime couplings! How Sakurai teases Kazama every time he sneaks a peek at her chest is also sweet when looking at the bigger context, as it’s obvious that she’s flattered by his glances. Thankfully, Sakurai and Kazama are also here to rid us of these will they/won’t they frustrations. But despite these romantic gains, Igarashi and Takeda often drag their feet when the subject of love is in the air. There’s also the level of closeness the two have, as they often eat together as a reward for a job well done each day. They make some strides though, especially when one helps the other when they come down with a cold or giving chocolates on Valentine’s Day. This group of friends soldier through the work day, go on retreats, and even offer a helping hand to one another when life gets in the way.Īs they are the main focus on the show, Igarashi and Takeda’s relationship goes at the snail’s pace we expect from anime romantic comedies. While Igarashi figures out how Takeda sees her, the other duo Toko Sakurai and Sota Kazama attempt to push one another to admit their feelings. The main is between the short-yet-tough Futaba Igarashi and the big-yet-gentle Harumi Takeda, who often work together on various projects. On the manga by Shiro Manta, My Senpai is Annoying focuses on two possible couples in the making. But leave it to rom-com kings Doga Kobo (Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun) to truly demonstrate the sweet and funny sides of finding love in the workplace in this season’s My Senpai is Annoying. Series like WOTAKOI and Recovery of an MMO Junkie relish on the struggles of finding romance in the real world. It’s always a breath of fresh air when an anime rom-com focuses on adults rather than students. This gem I am talking about is indeed “My Senpai is Annoying”.
