What else? I'm sorry, I apologize.

You know... boss Takahashi...

should have given this presentation.

But... he's on sick leave.

10 minutes before the meeting...

the director, who rumors say is unfaithful to his wife, called me.

And asked me to replace Takahashi.

That's it. I'm sorry I'm not prepared.

But why is the number of female golfers rising?

Boom!

It exploded! There was a trigger.

Yeah...

Golf cars!

They started using golf cars.

People didn't want to walk, and they complained...

it's too hot, it's too cold, it's too far...

but all this issues are now solved.

So!

Listen carefully. Golf cars allow...

women to be on the golf course with their boyfriends.

Even if it's too hot or too cold...

they don't mind, and have fun.

It's almost like a party.

Golf cars changed sports for women.

Female golfers really want to dress in a way...

that sets them apart from the other women on the course.

They want to be cute and sexy for their boyfriends.

But all the other companies...

don't care about female golfers.

So what was their strategy? What are they doing?

They focus on the club and on the ball spin rate.

What else? On clothes breathability and warmth.

These things...

Breathability and warmth.

They only focused on this stuff.

You're yawning.

What's the goal of this project?

- Supporting the people! - What?

Establish peace in Japan using golf.

Raise birth rate and help the environment.

Okay, stop, dumb kid.

The goal is not so noble.

Do you think this is that noble?

But nice, it's good you have such noble ambitions.

Thank you.

You worked at a tech company before?

Yeah, mixing duty and fun.

You like the Internet?

Only games and anime... uuh...

We live in the digital age. The press and the TV are so obsolete.

So you mixed your job and your passion. How was it?

It didn't work. I thought it would have been fun, but...

I saw a lot of unpleasant stuff standing behind the scenes.

Suffering, and betrayal.

An hobby should stay that, a place in your heart...

Oh...

Ops.

Hirotaka?!

Narumi?

You work here? Last time we saw each other we were in high school.

Are you a new hire?

Yeah! How am I?

- Is that a question? - Yes.

Not... "how are you?"

Yeah. Don't think too long.

You... look good.

Yes I do. See you.

She's funny.

Not "how are you?"

Seemed kind.

Do you still go to Comiket?

What's a "Comiket"?

Let's go.

Yes or no?

I don't know what that is!

I think he mistook me for another girl.

Are you free tonight?

- Yes. - Let's meet. We need to talk.

Your contact. QR code.

Let's use the shake.

Done.

Ah! Hirotaka!

Rocket bomb.

Whoa, great throw. You're good.

Stunned!

I wanted to kill you.

I didn't know it was a secret.

I never imagined we would end up working together.

Don't tell anyone I'm an otaku.

If you do, I'll tell everyone you're a videogames otaku. Defeated!

I don't hide it. Can I smoke?

- Nope. - Shame.

It's better to keep it a secret, it's hard to find a girl for an otaku.

I'm good.

You have a girlfriend?

No.

As expected. Otaku and a loner.

Do you have a boyfriend?

He left me when he found out I'm an otaku.

He didn't like fujoshi* [fans of homoerotic yaoi media]

He told everyone at the office, it was very embarrassing.

Drink.

I won't tell my next boyfriend I'm an otaku.

I'll keep it a secret until I die.

What if he doesn't care?

If he doesn't care, that means he's an otaku too.

And otaku boys are creepy.

You're one to talk...

No. You're not my type.

I understand.

You were dumped.

You're my dear otaku childhood friend.

Leave the otaku part out.

Otaku friend.

Thanks, Hirotaka-don.

You're welcome, Narumi-don.

Long last I'll be able to get new items.

In this company I won't be set aside.

Thanks to you, my dear partner.

So, why not me?

What?

Are you stupid?

Don't call me stupid.

I can help you collect items and level up.

I won't betray you, or make you cry. After all...

I'm your otaku friend.

Hirotaka...

I can help you at Comiket.

Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Ms. Momose, I heard you're dating Hirotaka, is that true?

Yuki, you're my senior here at the company.

Please just call me Narumi.

Answer my question.

You're doing overtime together.

We're childhood friends. He was helping me.

I've fallen for him.

What?

Are you a couple?

Please answer honestly.

We're not...

a couple.

I'm so glad! So you're just friends!

We are.

What are you doing?

Are you...

dating Narumi?

- Yeah. - Already?

That was fast.

We're childhood friends.

So you already knew her.

Wow.

She's really cute.

I was planning...

to make a move on her.

She like anim...

Animals. Domestic animals. I'm lucky.

You are....

You're dating, then?

Yes. She's a little weird.

- You are just friends, uh? - Yes.

Why are you hiding?

He's looking in this direction.

She's hiding from you. What happened?

I don't know. I don't understand the games girls play.

Always referencing games...

A videogames otaku always sees the world as it was a game.

Shut up, idols otaku.

Don't overgeneralize. I only like...

voice acting idols.

You underestimate them, don't you?

They don't just have angelic voices, they're also cute.

"Kyawa-taso".

Know what that means?

God!

Damn... he's double angry.

Double angry?

Oh... it's nothing.

She's so shy. Adorable.

She reminds me of Mareitaso.

- Mareitaso? - My favourite voice idol.

Preventive attack!

[ angry ]

[ fight / make friends / run away ]

[ Narumi runs away! ]

[ It failed! ]

Nifuji, about that document...

Please spare my life!

Sorry.

I didn't want to scare you.

I'm not sure about us.

I saw you more like a friend.

I shouldn't have said "I love you".

He never did.

I never did!

Don't... say that.

You were hesitant...

but you tried to express your feelings, right?

I'm happy.

I'll try not to be embarrassed or avoid you.

So...

don't say you shouldn't have said it.

Even if I don't think you actually did.

Yeah, I didn't.

But this encounter raised our intimacy level.

A romantic game reference?

Hirotaka?

[ Momose ]

Second lap! Here we go.

Incoming!

Take that! Final attack! Embarrassing!

- Yeah! - Missed me.

The mushroom! Unfair!

There's a banana peel? Damn!

What did you want to talk about?

Let's have a date this weekend.

A date? You and me?

Yeah. Not just going out.

Me and you going out is already extraordinary.

What else?

We'll spend time together, but not as otakus.

What does that mean?

The whole day, together...

But otaku talk is forbidden.

Don't overreact. It's just a date.

But what we'll talk about, if not games and anime?

Normal stuff.

What does that even mean?

Trendy restaurants. Movies.

But not anime movies.

You can ask me to help you choose a new gaming headset.

- Things like that. - Is this what you want?

What happens if I talk about otaku stuff?

If you do that...

Gulp.

For every otaku sentence...

- a 1000 yen penalty. - That much?!

With that kind of money I can buy like two pins on Otome Road.

- That's a penalty! - Why?

Why can't we be otakus?

I was observing you today.

The way our relationship is evolving confused you.

When you're with me, you lower your guard.

And you're afraid you'll be exposed as an otaku at work.

- You're right. - Then hide it.

And train when you're with me.

We'll call it...

Plan No-Otaku.

Plan No-Otaku.

But you're an otaku...

It's not for me. It's to avoid a Second Impact for you.

I get it... and I appreciate you are worried about me, but...

why a date?

- Hey! - Yes?

- I'm in your room. - So?

Usually, it takes a few dates.

When it's the right time...

it happens.

But this is like an Arcade Videogame.

Wrong.

It takes time before the guy is invited to the girl's apartment.

But we're used to play games together.

Let's go back to romantic relationship mode.

Fine.

It's so cute! What do you think?

Cute.

This one?

Cute.

They're so cute!

What should I do?

- About what? - These two are a couple...

but I side with this little guy.

If I buy these two, he'll be lonely!

That's a penalty.

Musou attack.

I agree, but... penalty.

Hey, Hirotaka...

Never mind.

The No-Otaku date is over.

Good job.

Ah! The boys at the cafe?

The young boy with glasses was trying to seduce his straight mate.

Guitarist and bassist, listening to their music, sharing headphones.

A deeply romantic melody, tuned to their love.

But it's a love triangle!

The older one can't control his jealousy.

People fall in love in the most unexpected ways.

By the way, two cute boys at the cafe...

I'm thankful for the experience.

And at the shop before,

the cute girl near me had Lailah and Vesta keychains!

I wanted to scream "I like them too!"

And that clerk.

His courtesy and attitude towards the patrons...

Impressive! Almost 2.5D, right?

His unobtrusive consideration for the patrons...

He was a butler in his previous life. I'm sure about that.

A legendary 19th century butler, come back to life!

It was phenomenal!

[ text: LOL LOL LOL ]

- Funny, uh? - What?

Nothing.

Uh? Nifuji, is that you?

Ms Koyanagi. Hello.

I thought you spent your weekends at home.

I thought you were always busy on Sundays.

I'm done for today, so I'm having a drink.

What do you do on Sundays?

Golf? That's a big bag.

Mind your business.

Don't intrude in a woman's private life.

I'm sorry.

You come here often?

No. First time.

I don't like places like this.

Why are you here, then?

I'm not sure...

I wasn't in the mood for videogames.

Bourbon on the rocks, please.

You don't look like a Bourbon man.

Isn't Bourbon the name of a Konan character?

That's not the reason.

You look tired. What happened?

I have a girlfriend.

So the rumors are true? Everyone is talking about it.

We're childhood friends.

That's nice.

It's much more healthy than playing videogames.

Is it wrong for a guy...

to interfere with his girlfriend's hobbies?

Absolutely! You don't have the right!

Hanako, lower your voice.

I'm not doing it for myself.

I'm doing it for her.

But I'm starting to think it's not the right move.

Do you want her to give up her hobbies and get into yours?

Unbelievable.

What can't you love her for what she is?

Are you drunk?

Drink. What is bothering you?

I'm fine. You just confirmed what I already knew.

Young man, don't act like you know everything.

She's definitely drunk.

Stop bothering me.

♪ Hanako's specialty is getting drunk ♪ and bothering people.

♪ Clingy, boring, and obnoxious.

♪ Even if he's a patron here...

♪ I could tease him all night.

♪ What? Tease him?

♪ Like a mosquito buzzing ♪ around you.

♪ That's how dedicated she is.

♪ Exactly. My ancestors...

♪ were mosquitoes!

♪ Hanako specialty is getting drunk ♪ and bothering people.

♪ She constricts her prey ♪ like an Anaconda

♪ Doesn't matter how kind he is...

♪ every man gets tired of me eventually.

♪ The anaconda suffocates her prey.

♪ She's taller than a man, ♪ and if she gets you...

♪ It gets ugly.

♪ That's right.

♪ You can't run away from me

♪ You!

Drink!

Hey!

You look like a Resident Evil zombie.

Lisa Trevor...

We need to schedule...

our next No-Otaku date.

I'm busy tonight.

And this weekend too.

I won't be free until the next weekend.

Narumi.

I know you well, so be honest with me.

About what?

Progress?

Still at the storyboard!

Sorry.

Uh?

Must be hard for you.

I'm a terrible girlfriend.

No need to be sorry.

I'm fine. I'm sure it's harder for you.

I'm done with the screentone.

And I changed panel 2 at page 12.

Confirm, please.

Hirotaka...

You're so dedicated.

I know you really care...

about selling your manga at Comiket.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You were groaning.

I hope she's okay...

Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

[ Comiket ] [ 94th Manga Market ]

Here's your change. Thank you.

The new volume.

500 yen.

Thank you.

Runa, I love your work! I'm a huge fan!

Ah, you came the last time too!

- That's great! - You're wonderful!

I love the way Ikuta and Aoshima are written.

Thank you.

Aoshima cares so much about Ikuta, even if he tries to hide it.

That's it! I'm about to cry!

You'll be so successful!

That's too much.

Thank you so much! I'll be a fan forever!

And Moe will always be my light!

- Thank you! - Thank you!

- See you again! - Yeah!

Thank you.

We can take a break.

What's that? You look like a monkey that is being ran over by a car.

Even if I never saw one.

How could I forget about the stand of an artist this good?

A new genre, surely in huge demand...

Oh... No...

You should go.

Go buy it. And bring me tea.

God.

I'm coming back, Hirotaka.

- Hey, listen! - What?

A tall guy with glasses, he's selling an X-rated Boys' Love manga.

For real? Where?!

A super-hot fudanshi!* [boy who enjoys homoerotic media]

That's great!

Wait! Hirotaka, you're not a fudanshi!

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. Are you embarrassed?

No.

Didn't they stare at you with lewd eyes?

They did, but I'm okay.

That's... a lot of people.

Here. Play your game. And here's your tea.

Thank you.

Seat.

Next, please. 500 yen.

Here.

Thank you! I couldn't find time to buy them.

It's nothing. That area was filled with great stands.

So much people you almost couldn't walk.

It was weirdly efficient.

I was buying stuff without thinking.

You're great at this.

Ah, here. The copies I set aside for you.

- Have fun. - Thank you.

- Here - Thanks! I love the cover!

- With a clear PP film! - Yeah!

I was afraid you weren't going to finish in time.

So erotic!

Don't read it here, it's embarrassing!

I'll take it easy, I'm reading this at home.

- Can't wait. - So promising!

I was thinking about a new idea. Reversion...

- Yes! - No!

I know you like them the other way around.

This is a holy war.

Where did you get the idea?

I was reading material of such a divine level...

that I couldn't stop fantasizing about it.

So I decided to try drawing one! I'm so hyped!

That's your next volume, then!

I prefer more niche stuff, but Reversion is also okay.

I can't wait!

- Be prepared! - Yeah!

So exciting!

Hiroko's stand! Let's go!

Let's go!

- See you, Narumi! - See you.

Here you go! See ya!

- Thank you for waiting! - It's fine.

Let's go eat. It's on me!

Great. Tomorrow night we could...

My next project will be huge. I better start working on it.

Narumi-don, it's Friday. Got any plans?

No plans. Anything goes.

- Tonight... - Okay. - That was fast.

I was hoping to see you tonight.

You choose the place.

My apartment.

My underwear... what color is it?

So you go home by bus, uh?

My underwear is beige.

I don't like the train.

When we were children we always played together.

I came to your home to play videogames.

Yeah.

Want to go to the voice idol Yuki Kaji event next week?

Who?

What? Are you serious?

Eren in Attack on Titan. Shoto in My Hero Academia.

Don't know. I don't like anime.

I guess a videogame otaku wouldn't know about voice idols...

Make yourself comfortable.

My underwear is beige.

When I visit someone, I always notice the smell.

I don't smoke inside. Does it stink?

No! The room smells...

like you. I can tell it's your home.

You know... the good smell of a friend.

Panic. I'm talking nonsense.

I don't have any friends.

Minefield...

Beer?

Yeah, sure. Beer.

Why I'm so nervous?

Well, we are two adults, in the intimacy of his room.

- Take it off. - What? Now?

Your dress.

It looks uncomfortable.

Stay calm. No need to be scared. It's Hirotaka.

The boy who's always the same, whether he's asleep or awake.

He doesn't have the guts to make a move on a girl...

Oh, no! Beige underwear!

Can't you wait for the pink day?

Pink? I don't have a pink controller.

A videogame?

Not in the mood?

Yeah.

Monster Hunter World?

Sure.

Anjanath is more aggressive than expected.

Don't let it hit you.

Yeah, that was close.

That mantle will lose effect in 3 minutes.

Really? I'll keep an eye on the clock.

I'm down.

Where? Where?

Wow! It's Rathalos!

I'm in trouble. What should I do?

Anjanath!

Wow. Rathalos is strong.

Go, Rathalos!

Show them the power of the king of the skies!

I was playing. You blocked my visual.

Is that so?

You're angry.

Angry? I'm... surprised.

Isn't that against the rules for a videogame otaku?

That's what bothered you?

Even you... want to kiss girls?

Sure I do.

Oh, yeah... you like big boobs.

What?

The sexy Fate/Grand Order characters.

- You like boobs? - I do.

I see.

So what?

Back to the game.

See you.

See you.

Come with me to the bus stop?

Sure.

Wait, it's fine... It's nearby.

You sure?

Bye.

Hirotaka...

I'm sorry about Friday.

No need to be sorry.

- I'll step out. - Wait...

Hawaii?

Why are you screaming?

As you know, the best golf courses are in Hawaii.

So... for our new product...

We need a photo shoot on the lovely Hawaii golf courses.

And what should I do?

Sure... yeah... hmm...

For example... you know...

Take care of the models. Help with the catering.

And... trash bags... put them in the right place.

Also... sorting the trash. Recyclable and not.

Take out the trash...

Know where to put it. To get rid of it.

- Small chores. - Exactly.

So... have you ever been to Hawaii?

- Nope. - Wouldn't you like to go?

- Yes. - Why that pause?

Don't you like the sea?

Yes! I'm crazy about it.

But don't go crazy for me!

Anyway, the head of this project is the guy in charge of the photo shoot.

Why he's not here? His name is Kabakura.

I'll introduce him to you.

Okay!

Hawaii! I'm stoked!

But I won't be able to see anime live, and I'll miss a few events.

A hard choice.

her [ I need to talk to you ]

- her [ tonight? ] - him [ not tonight ]

him [ I'm busy ]

What's happening? Busy? Really?

What?

Sorry.

[ Hawaii ]

- Hey. - Yes?

Are you the chores girl?

Yes!

Know golf?

Yes!

Good.

I'm sorry, I lied.

Why did you lie? Just do your job.

So mean...

Uh... nothing... Are you Mr Kabakura?

I am.

I'm Narumi Momose. Nice to meet you.

The only reason I put you on the team is that the boss asked me to.

I don't have time to waste.

Got it.

I'll do my best.

So scary...

We'll take photos that you can only take in Hawaii.

Yeah... the ocean is a must.

It's a great set, with the blue sea and the green grass...

Narumi.

Remember me? I'm Sakamoto.

I'm not coming to Hawaii, but I'm on the team.

I'm glad... it's nice to see some familiar faces.

Mr Kabakura is so scary.

He is! As scary as Zangief.

From Street Fighter II?

I don't really know, but Hirotaka loves that game so much.

[ Bathroom ]

Hey! Narumi!

Why the costumes?

A cosplay festival nearby.

Really? Girls, you're perfect!

Thank you, I leveled up, Senpai!

So cute!

Clap! Clap for our hate!

Jeanne d'Arc!

The hair color is simply perfect!

Let's go! We have some flies to squash!

I'm Gudako.

Outstanding! I want a picture!

This must be heaven.

The parade was incredible! We walked with Rem and Ritsu.

My heart was about to explode! Superb!

Yeah! And Gilgamesh!

I almost died.

Cute, sexy, and gallant. Unreal!

Divine, I'd say.

The cream of the crop!

Thank you.

Shimakaze! Cacao! Merlin! They're still around!

- Want to go? - Yes! Yes! Yes!

Wait... aren't you here with your coworkers?

You should go back. They're staring at you.

Yes... I need to go.

See you.

Your friends?

Um... well...

Of course not. They're hardcore otaku.

We're talking business here. Enough with this lunacy.

I'm sorry!

So scary!

That girl...

She's Mashu, right?

Wonderful!

Incredible quality.

Hey!

- Do you know them? - No!

So scary...

This is unbearable... I want to leave the team.

So cute...

We live near the same station... why?

I have to start a conversation.

Um...

Do you have a girlfriend?

Why did I ask that? I don't even care!

I do.

Ah, yes! Of course!

Phew... a safe topic.

But we argue a lot.

Minefield!

Well, goodnight.

Hey.

Come with me.

What?

What is this place?

The owner of the building lets me come up here to chill.

It's a great place to drink and forget my troubles.

Do you have worries?

Of course I do.

Hard to believe.

A quick drink to forget our troubles, then we go home.

It was nothing!

Just an innocent comment.

But she got super angry with me.

He's complaining about his girlfriend? Please...

I am...

very patient with her!

Because I love her!

I'm okay with everything she likes!

She can do whatever she wants!

I love her because she does everything she wants!

You're a great boyfriend.

I am, right?

It was just a little comment!

But she got mad!

I want to leave!

Momose!

Let's dance.

What?

Impressive!

Come dance with me.

I don't dance.

It's an order, from your boss.

- Momose. The report? - Here!

Uh?

Page 5 is not up to date.

Momose... this is the old quotation.

Let's split up the work. Yamamoto, you update page 5.

Kano, fix the quotation.

Eguchi, redo pages 8 and 9.

- I'm sorry. - Hurry up and rebind it.

Guys, help us.

Mr. Kabakura! The shooting schedule for the cast and the staff.

- Thank you. - Sorry for the delay.

What's this? Garlic shrimps for lunch, snacks, and dinner?

They're a local specialty.

In Kahuku, Haleiwa and Ala Moana?

A franchising.

Hawaii has other foods other than garlic shrimps.

Why just shrimps?

Narumi, fix the neck and the chest.

Here?

And here?

- Looks fine. - Done.

- Now what? - I'm sorry.

I don't think we have the time to fix this.

These looks better.

The delivery?

We still have time. Let's book it for tomorrow.

- Do it. - I'll call now.

Yes. Thank you.

[ Still busy? ]

[ Let's meet ]

On vacation for a week?

Yes. I'm glad he's using up his vacation days.

What is he doing?

I'm getting worried.

[ Answer me ]

Yes!

[ Come to the Kawasaki City Club ]

What a show!

Divine! Did you see it?

She was looking at me.

Mareitaso is the best.

I'm happy for you!

You need to show your passion or the others will get angry.

Nobody like those quiet, smug fans that sit in the back.

We should go to the next one too!

You can't miss an event unless you're busy.

Relax and you'll enjoy yourself.

You'll get recognized. Come to a launch event.

Needless to say I already get recognized. But you're new.

You need to get serious if you want to stand out.

That's wonderful!

That reference in the second song...

She said she ate a cream sandwich today.

Guess what?!

It's the cream sandwich I sent her!

A message for me!

Today I sent her with my lips a big "I Love You".

Look.

I... Love...

You!

I need cigarettes.

Not even my lessons can melt his stiffness.

Lessons?

He asked me to come to a voice idol event.

But he doesn't like them.

Hirotaka... Why?

Please.

Coming in.

Make yourself at home.

What?

What happened? Why?

Do you like this?

A paradise, right?

When did I say that? Give me a break!

You know I think otakus are creepy!

Look who's talking.

Shut! I know! That's why I try to hide it!

Calm down.

What a drink?

You never used characters mugs...

What's the matter with you?

Madoka, help me.

Okay...

Get well soon... ok?

Want to go to the voice idol Yuki Kaji event next week?

- Who? - What? Are you serious?

Eren in Attack on Titan. Shoto in My Hero Academia.

Don't know. I don't like anime.

I guess a videogame otaku wouldn't know about voice idols...

Nifuji.

I need you to deliver something to the team in Hawaii.

Because... you know...

We don't need a courier for a package this size.

But it's too big for a scooter delivery.

It's in the middle ground. So you do it.

Um...

That's an order. Got it?

You were on leave for a week. Make yourself useful if you want to keep your job.

Yes.

You look great together.

- A cute couple. - Smile.

Put your hand on her shoulder.

Excuse me...

Guys, you're beautiful.

Okay, that's enough. I'm done.

But the camera guy wants you.

Excuse me.

- Nifuji? - Hirotaka?

Ah, the package from sales. Thanks, leave it there.

- Nifuji... - Sakamoto, your turn.

Don't worry, I'll tell him it was just a photo shoot.

Leave it to me.

You're late!

You're late!

This is not a solo event!

Let's cheer as hard as we can!

Mareitaso walks the stage...

as number 2.

We know!

- Let's do it! - Let's do it!

♪ Why are you uncomfortable? ♪ Don't worry if it's just a crush.

I'm going.

Nifuji!

Nifuji! What's the matter?

From me.

♪ I wasn't expecting that.

♪ Did you know?

♪ You emptied the glass ♪ acting all cool.

♪ But it was iced tea.

♪ Iced tea, tea, tea.

Enough!

Stop singing.

Hey.

Come with me.

Why not?

♪ A beautiful woman like me, ♪ all alone.

♪ Too much time on her hands.

♪ What's wrong with this?

♪ Hey, look.

♪ A cute face and a great body.

♪ What else do you want?

♪ But what I really want

♪ I can't have.

♪ In this word, filled with joy,

♪ Let's have fun all night long.

♪ Dreams coming true.

♪ In this world that makes me dizzy,

That reminds me... we leave in 3 days.

Am I... doing well on the team?

So and so.

I'll keep trying.

Hey...

Come to mine?

I'm wearing pink underwear tonight, actually.

I can't... You have a girlfriend.

Idiot. It's not like that.

- Let's stay here, then. - It could rain.

True.

I won't complain about my girl.

It looks like...

something is bothering you.

I knew it.

I need you to focus on our Hawaii trip.

So let's talk about your troubles tonight.

Thank you.

Please.

Why are the lights on?

Maybe your girl is here.

I doubt it.

What the hell?

Hirotaka?! What?!

Narumi?

- Who are you? - Hanako, what's this?

I wanted to see him dressed as Heshikiri Hasebe. Wonderful, isn't he?

Why here?!

I wanted you to do it, but you'd have refused.

What?!

Stay back. It's pictures time.

Oooh... not the best timing, uh?

- What's happening? - My girlfriend.

- And he's... - My...

My boyfriend.

- No! - Yes!

What?

What do you think?

Shokudaikiri Mitsutada. You didn't like it.

What about now?

I was drunk and I couldn't see it well.

Just tell me.

You look great.

You should have said that...

But you're too old for this.

What? You #$%&@!

- Shut up, moron! - Leave!

This is my house!

You brought a girl here!

I would never cheat on you! She wanted to talk!

Bullshit!

You brought here another man!

What is yours is mine, and what is mine is mine.

I'll kill you!

You couldn't!

You're a $%&@ and a @&%$!

Yeah! A big #$%&@!

- Should we leave? - Yeah.

You like to spend time with anime otaku friends.

So I thought me becoming one could have helped.

Bringing us closer to each other.

But switching genres is hard.

That's why you took that leave?

I wanted to get to know you better.

Hirotaka...

I...

was dumped by my ex because I'm an otaku.

But with you...

it's much easier.

I don't have to hide it.

Still...

you're not really my type.

And I'm sure that I'm not yours, either. You're missing out.

Missing out?

Yeah, maybe.

- Hey... - Forget it.

- What are you looking at? - Forget it.

- How dare you! - What's your point?

I think...

you'll be happier...

- with a normal girl. - That's you.

- I don't like otaku boys. - But it'll be easier.

I don't like you because it's easy or because you're an otaku.

I like you because you do what you want.

We had some troubles...

but we can be ourselves and enjoy what we like.

Hirotaka, are you...

in love with me?

Think before you answer.

You know, I don't think you ever said it.

Not yet.

So...

Game room?

Your turn.
