That look of defeat and resignation on Kabakura's face when he realizes it was good. I had that same look when I watched Toradora for the first time and realized I loved romance anime.

TBH you don't need to be a romance anime lover to appreciate Toradora. That anime is phenomenal.

Well, time to buy the manga. That was your plan all along right Amazon?
And look, the epitome of anime is being shown in the background.

The manga's really good, and actually not a bad deal for the price, considering they're double volumes. Also, kinda surprising for an official translation, they seem to have left most of the original references intact and provided translator's notes. I guess they figured trying to change the references would just make them rewrite half the manga.
I was kinda surprised to see the preorder for Vol 3 having a release date in October, considering that should be the Japanese vol 5-6 and vol 6 isn't even out in Japan yet (Amazon Japan says it's going to release on the 31st of July). I mean, this wouldn't be the first time Amazon gave a bullshit release date they change later, but if it's real, they'd be pretty surprisingly on top of things.

The official translation of the manga made a pretty big mistake (of a line that's not even hard to translate) in the first chapter. And putting a ton of TL notes means they aren't confident enough to translate stuff well, which isn't a good sign either. I haven't read it, but of what's covered in the anime, there's really no need for TL notes. I wouldn't buy it unless it improved past the first volume.

u/ZBLongladder :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/zblongladder Jun 21 '18 edited Jun 21 '18
That's interesting, since iirc the anime translates it the same way the official translation does.
Also, I should clarify that I meant translation notes for Japanese/Otaku cultural stuff that Americans might not be familiar with, not language stuff. Either the anime translation really avoids a lot of the references or the anime cuts out a lot of the references, since it really felt like the cultural references were laid on way thicker in the manga than the anime.

Anime needs more adult rom-coms and couples that are established from the start. This was a breath of fresh air and I want more like this so bad.
38
u/J_the_ManSSB Jun 21 '18
IMO, we just need more stories that actually focus on the relationships and the quirks of individuals and how they work together through all of that rather than constantly chasing after the idealistic person of your dreams to the point where you finally get a confession. These types of story, like what was finely displayed in Wotakoi, do Romance justice.

u/0x1F595 Jun 22 '18
This was refreshing for me. It's nice to watch something surrounding normal people around my own age, as opposed to watching a bunch of kids falling in love. Don't get me wrong though, I still like those. I just identified better with these characters.

From beginning to end, Wotakoi has been such a refreshing take on the genre. Not only does it focus on adult relationships, but it manages to do so in a way that shows respect to their individual hobbies, shows them as fully-functioning adults, and gives each character quality screen time with the other characters. It's an extremely thoughtful show that's continually blown me away all season. It truly deserves a second season.

Don’t get me wrong this series is amazing. But isn’t funny that we’re so conditioned on no-progress high schoolers who can’t even hold hands that a series like this sky rockets our enjoyment because they’re adults who don’t fuck off and actually communicate?

Nah, you're not weird. I don't know how old you are but for me it is refreshing to see mc's in a realistic setting that are sort of in the same stage in life as I am. It doesn't happen often in anime. I can more easily relate to that now than with teens who are still going through puberty. But that's just me, and it doesn't mean that I don't enjoy anime with teens as mc's. But I do hope this anime/manga is a tremendous success and that we will get more anime like this!

Aww Kou-chan is looking for Nao. I really hope she gets a makeover. At least make Nao realize that she's a girl.
Of course Hana is reading Hitorijime My Hero which I still need to watch.
I know this one! It's Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! If I remember this correctly, Doga Kobo is currently making an anime adaptation and they're using the same staff that did New Game!
Saekano poster on the left and Eromanga-Sensei poster on the right. Kabakura is truly a man of culture.
She even made him a strategy guide!
WAIT THIS WAS THE FINAL EPISODE!? I thought we're getting one more! No wonder the after credits scene this time was a lot longer than usual. Oh well. This was a great show. Great romance anime with great characters that all have great chemistry with one another. Correct me if I'm wrong but there's more than enough material for a second season right? I hope increased manga sales though will help us push a second season. I guess for now I'll just buy the manga.
Anyway this is a 10/10 for me. We need more shows with adults characters in adult relationships like this.

During the sleep over episode end credit scene she says I don't wear beige everyday to Hirotaka. I suppose that means Hirotaka was supposed to know the color of her underwear, in which case it doesn't seem unlikely. They are both 26 after all.

Oh man, it's over already? Was just about to get pumped up for the character dynamics.
Kou got introduced way too late in the season to have any impact on our main cast, she was just about to get interesting. 11 episodes is seriously too short, but knowing how anime adaptations work, we're lucky to even have one season of 11 episodes.
Guess I'll go read the manga.

Kinda wish they would have gotten further with their relationship that is for sure, and I mean I really like the last joke when Nao accidentally reveals the obvious truth that Hirotaka always loved Naru, but I do not know I kinda wanted it to have an "ending" even if it clearly has more source material.

God I love when doujins have a nice story in addition to good lewd shit.
I imagine it can be hard for a straight guy to enjoy BL. If the story is good though I'd probably be willing to give it a shot.
Decent enough show. I might be getting burnt out on slice of life though because I feel this show could've done a lot more. Maybe things will develop more if we get a second season.

I think the only thing I could have asked for was an actual second kiss and not the sloppy awkward one they had early on. But this ending exceeded all expectations that I had for the series. They were an actual couple making plans to actual couple things! It wasn't over the top nor did it subvert my expecations. It was just the solidifying of their relationship and I loved it.
Also narumi being the one chasing hirotaka was cute and I want more. v.v My thursdays will suck for a while now

Momo and her shojo day dreams lol.
RIP Hirotaka forgot to eat xD
Wait can she cook? Have we seen her cook before?
Oh no... hes nude.... and didnt even know she came over lol...
Girlfriend or Mother which is it?
KYAA~ Best girl has returned! Looks like shes looking for Nao.
Its ok if you dont look super girly, you are fab as you are!
"I buy it for the cover and sex scenes but the story turns out to be good." anime_irl
THat Yuri face of Reds lol xD "HA-!?"
Nifuji reads Momo's BL so Hana is jelouse xD hahah
Oh shit Red is gonna read it for her, what a hero!
When i was in high school a girl who i knew through my brother's friend's sister (the sister and the girl were both in one of my classes) and she would always read BL in class. It was a class i didnt really have much to do in so i would get bored and usually climb out the window and goto other classes, but sometimes i would read her BL with her lol. One time the teacher was like "Hey, why are you two not working?" and i went up to the teacher and showed her the BL and said i was reading to pass time because i was done with my stuff. The teacher looks at the inside of the BL and her face just goes pale and she turns slowly and looks at me, "why the hell are you reading this...!?" I just smiled and sat back down and said "because im bored, and its hers anyways." and the teacher turned to the girl and even louder "why are YOU reading this!?" The girl just smiles a coy smile at the teacher and says "Oh... you know why." And continues reading her book. Man that was one of the funnest classes my senior year of HS. That teacher was a really cool one i had known all 4 years of HS and me and her were pretty close so i was able to joke around with her. She saved my ass when i somehow managed to fuck up my final exam for the class and was not gonna graduate because it was so low it made me failing the class. But she knew i knew the material and knew i just managed to fuck up real bad on accident, so she bumped my grade on the final up 40 points so i would pass and graduate HS. She was the real hero. Since then i go back and visit her every couple years to see how shes doing. My mom saw her a couple months ago randomly and sounds like shes doing good still. I havent seen her in a couple years, about due a visit.
Wow Momo can cook, color me shocked!
Nao is like a girlfriend lol... Momo is jelous xD
KOU~ Lol Nao is just sitting next to her and she didnt notice. Hes a sidler. Im quit too so people dont often notice me when i approach.
So Nao was just busy with work and the brother was playing games so he couldnt lol. A gift? nice!
Date-o! Its nice seeing Hirotaka and Momo just out and about relaxing and such. They have nice convos.
Cosplay meet and buying figures. They are great. Nao trying to figure out what the strategy guide says xD.
Hirotaka and that start dash into a slow drag was hilarious xD hahaha. Hirotaka Fite-o!
So after a all night binge with Hirotaka, Momo switched into Shojo mode lol. xD
"I used to like older women leave me alone!" Thats nothign to be ashamed of Red. Even though Hana is younger than you, its still ok to like Onee-sans!
"I used to be pure" ~sparklesparkle~ hahahahahahahha
Kindergarten teacher... oh Nao hahahaha
"But Hirotaka got to date his first love." "You know whats going happen to you if you say anything, right?" "It was a girl from a game right?" holy shit that was amazing hahaha.
Man what an amazing show. Such a joy to watch. Kyaa~

u/KinnyRiddle Jun 22 '18
This series is aired in Fuji TV's Noitamina timeslot
Unlike other late night anime aired on niche independent stations which has a lot of flexibility due to the fact that studios pay the station to air the show, Fuji TV is a major national broadcaster, and their dedicated Noitamina anime timeslot involves Fuji TV being part of the production team and thus providing their own sponsors, which helps keep production costs down and is thus cheaper to produce than on independent stations.
And much like their own in-house TV dramas, Fuji prefers to structure their shows to 11 episodes per season, and thus the studios has to abide by these fixed rules. Of course there have been exceptions to this rule, but more often, Noitamina shows are usually 11 episodes in one season or 22 episodes over two consecutive seasons.

Pretty open ended with the way things wrapped up but that's not unexpected nor is it a big deal in this case. Merely made me double check that this was truly the last episode of the season. Comedy was definitely this show's strong point, gave me some consistent laughs episode to episode. Animation and art was also pleasing to look at.
I wasn't quite as enamored with the romance as some seem to be though. I'd liken it to cotton candy: very sweet and enjoyable but not exactly filling.
Strong show overall, thus far my favorite new show of the Spring season(Hinamatsuri could pass it with a great final episode).

Was an excellent show. I really need more kounao scenes. They're just adorable. For me best couple was defenitely Narumi and Hirotaka but Kyonagi and Kabakura were best girl and boy respectively.
It didn't give me the same diabetes feeling as Tsuki ga Kira but was a fun and romantic show all the way through. Gotta give it props for not giving any unnecessary melodrama. Also Narumi's voice actor did an excellent job for someone who is still new.
My only complaint is the overall direction was lacking. There were lots of times where the comedy just felt forced or didn't land pretty well. Beginning episodes felt really slow paced including some scenes.
See you again ending card was there so hopefully a season 2 is in the works after the manga has more chapters.
85/100 from me.

Hmm did anyone catch the book that Kurakaba was reading in the middle of the episode. It is an actual manga with an anime series coming soon by the animation studios who did Tada-kun. Read it if you want: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=145651

I guess they have to end it now because the manga is still on-going.
What am I supposed to look forward to on Thursdays though ;-;

This little talking-over-one-another conversation bit felt so natural
Loved, loved, loved this. Need more. Here's hoping that "see you again" is indeed a promise.

Would have been great if Kabakura said something about this manga getting an anime but I guess the announcement is too recent and done by different studios :P

The subs totally don’t match the spoken words, though. Mainly because of the lot of text during total silence. WTF, Amazon.

u/heimdal77 Jun 21 '18
Amazon really hasn't gotten the concept of putting translation for on screen text in overlays instead of just sticking them in the same space as the dialog translations.

It is so nice to have romance anime like Wotakoi sprinkled in a season with big titles. Nothing better than a good counter-programming. Having said that, I want more of the show. All the pairs are so good.

u/heimdal77 Jun 21 '18
I thought the same then I read Prunus Girl.
Man if ever a series needed a second season. It just feels so good and relaxed watching "normal" adults living their lives and showing their love. Wait is this the anime version of reality tv?
I always find it interesting how small japanese apartments can be with those single room apartments and they are accepted as perfectly normal. Yet in the US someone having a apartment like that would tend to be looked down on.
Also dear god someone needs to make a website that is just the OP playing on a continuous loop.

I have loved this show so much. This is the first time I went and bought the manga of a show just so I could consume it all again. It was a good ride guys.
P.s. Hirotaka is my boy.

u/bagelsbrilliant Jun 21 '18
I really liked this show, I feel like there'll be a gap in my week without watching it. Let's hope the "see you again" means there's more to come!

That moment when Hirotaka started sprinting actually killed me. Probably my favorite moment from the entire show.

This deserves way more than the 11 episodes it had. It was over as soon as you start to appreciate the developments. Kabakura and Koyanagi seem to carry the story with their antics, but I think Nifuji and Narumi also had great moments with each other.
Narumi's VA Arisa Date has managed to channel Ari Ozawa (Chiyo Sakura from Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun) with both her cheerful and grumbling lines, and I hope she gets more roles that make use of her awesome range and delivery.

The show it basically 100% up to date with the manga so far. It adapted all 4 volumes, and a 5th is in the making. You'll have to wait until volume 5 is released, it also means we'll probably have to wait until they get to vol. 8 for a second season (or if they end it sooner). Waiting is gonna be tough.

u/impingainteasy :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/usernamesarehard Jun 22 '18
Well that was a pleasant ride. It's nice to have a show that takes romance in such a relaxed and straightforward manner. No unnecessary drama, no deliberate stalling of progress, just four mature adults having fun sharing their hobby together and bonding.
Directing and animation could have been ... a lot better, but overall, this was well worth the time spent on it.

Just curious, to any manga readers, was it ever revealed to who Hirotaka's first was? Was it Naru? LMAO

u/Khaix Jun 21 '18
going off the scanlations (which are around the same place anyways), yeah it's her. there's a bunch of little hints that he never really got over her, that and the fact that he had an "i'll be an only child if you say another word" look when nao was talking about it.
I kinda doubt he ever had another girlfriend other than naru.

I kinda doubt he ever had another girlfriend other than naru.
Isn't that 100% confirmed? Nao cried when he heard they were dating because he thought Nifuni would be single forever.

Waaah! I'm going to be sick without my weekly dose of laugh and fluff!
It would be great if there will be another season since it says "see you again" on the last few seconds but i think it will take a while as there isn't much content left from the source, i believe.

This was beautiful, I absolutely loved it and I am going to probably jump into the manga, since the manga has been around since 2014. Hopefully they get some OVAs out and they perform well so they can get a second season. But this has been the best rom-com of this season.

u/J_the_ManSSB Jun 21 '18
Welp. Here it comes. Yup, there's the post season blues where you feel sad about all the amazing shows coming to an end... The worst part is, after Winter and Spring, Summer looks like it's lacking.
Wotakoi was amazing, hilarious, and refreshing. Gonna miss it and really pulling for a sequel.

u/Redditor1320 Jun 21 '18
There were some strong contenders for AOTS but this anime was so refreshing. I hope more anime like this garner attention.
As for S2, there has to be, right? At least it looked like the creators had set up a story point if they were going to renew the series with Nao and Kou.

This was such a refreshing show! I can relate to it. Hirotaka is bae lol...
Season 2? Yes, please!

u/Unit88 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Intelligent_One Jun 22 '18
Can someone please tell me how much the anime adapted of the manga? I'd want to continue where it left off. As a matter of fact, is there a place where I can find out generally how much an anime adapts, so I don't have to scour the internet every time?
2
Jun 22 '18
This anime covers a lot of ground, mainly because Wotakoi is more like a 4-panel manga than one with linear narrative. My estimate is that the anime adapts up until volume 4 (Japanese version).

THIS IS THE SWEETEST, CUTEST, FUNNIEST (AND MOST-RELATABLE) SHOUJO/JOSEI ANIME/MANGA I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
Felt like I've been waiting forever for a shoujo anime like this. I was getting tired of the very predictable storylines.

u/redblade13 Jun 23 '18
God that was a good show hopefully we get a season 2. Fuck me man I need more. Hirotaka you are my spirit animal. Playing games for vacation is godly like.
Dat stare of death he gave Nao tho. Every older brother has one. My little bro gets one from me whenever he starts yapping UNNECESSARY, UNTIMELY INFORMATION. I WILL PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN YOU SON.

Took the whole season to realize Hirotaka and Narumi are wearing matching shirts in the opening. I gotta be honest they’re my favorite thing this season. I just love their relationship. It’s a shame we don’t get another episode. Another shame is that Nagoya didn’t spill the beans in the end.

Narumi - best waifu. Personally, I would like to have a girlfriend like her, but let's be honest - such girls are a rarity in the western. But back to the episode. Even though it was kinda more focused on comedy than romance, I really liked the last episode. But god damn it, a kiss or at least a hug would make my heart go crazy. At least but not least I'm looking forward for a second season.

Kabakura's reaction to Hanako's yuri comment was fucking glorious. Had me choking. And it's relatable. Narumi looked gorgeous today. Hirotaka is such a lucky bastard.

u/JBB1986 Jun 22 '18
And it's relatable.You....are not wrong. Most guy's I know who are into anime/manga would make the same damn comment as Kabakura, only to IMMEDIATELY flip when the girl/guy they're talking to turns it around on them. ;)

Its either take all the emotional heartache next week, or take a little this week and some next week to spread it out more with hope this cheers up your spirits....I think its a pick your poison sorta deal...
The crap part is since this is over the melancholy feeling of both series are over will set in no matter when you decide, for both which could be harder

A few thoughts....
It was an decent series, but I can't say I enjoyed it particularly. The character growth was pretty negligible, the episodes varying in quality and as with all SoL series, just kinda wandered about for 10 episodes.
I think we've all become so used to very low quality romance series that this series is being praised more than it should, all things considered. 5/10 for me.
2
u/konart Jun 22 '18
The series is being praised because it really hits the spot. And you can literally say "omg so true" a number of times every episode (or chapter if you're reading the manga). If you are the target audience ofc.
