At a certain trading company, saleswoman Futaba Igarashi has managed to hold her respectable job for almost two years thanks to the guidance of her senior coworker—Harumi Takeda. However, due to Igarashi's short stature, Takeda often teases her and treats her like a kid, leaving Igarashi constantly annoyed by his antics. Despite this, Igarashi notices Takeda's reliability as he is always ready to help whenever something at their workplace goes awry. As Igarashi and Takeda spend more time together, their relationship soon develops further than simply being coworkers at the office. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Verified RatingAs the last episode, it was a bit painful to see that Igarashi still can’t completely accept her true feelings, because she deserves to be loved, but she can’t fully process what she feels.
However, this is a very human thing. It’s part of the process of growing up, acceptance, and self-love. To be loved, you need to let that love enter your heart.
There are moments of reflection from Igarashi where we can maybe see a spark of her true feelings.
Verified RatingI understand that Igarashi is too innocent, and she’s not very clear about her own emotions, so sometimes it’s hard to empathize with her, especially because she’s still emotionally immature. I remember that in my early 20s, I was probably a little like this in romantic situations too... but I still feel like I want to push her a bit so she can be more brave. Actually, her whole circle is basically doing that already! Everybody knows!
Come on, Igarashi! Next episode is your last chance!
On the other hand, Sakurai and Kazama are carrying the show! They just need to make it official, and that’s it.
Verified RatingIf last episode was the peak of the side characters, this time it features the peak of Futaba and Takeda’s relationship. It was interesting to see their first meeting together and was funny to find out their dynamic was very natural from the start. I got to admit that Igarashi’s character is one that annoys me. They should’ve renamed the series to “My Kouhai is Annoying”. Takeda is the GOAT!
