There's nothing better than watching a quality romantic comedy on a warm summer evening.
A couple working at the same company puts on a show for their colleagues, pretending that they can't stand each other.
This is the plot of the office rom-com I Have a Crush at Work, released by Blade Studios at the beginning of the year. We recommend taking a closer look at this new title because the screenwriter of Toradora! worked on it.
What Is I Have a Crush at Work About?
Office workers gossip that someone recently returned from vacation with the same souvenirs, which clearly means something. Masugu tries not to listen to the gossip, despite his boss' tricky questions about his thoughts on such novels.
Masugu works in the financial department and tries not to be distracted by trifles. From the outside, it may seem that, like most Japanese people, Masugu simply does not have enough time for a personal life.
However, he has a lover. He is secretly dating his colleague, Yui – viewers learn this in the first episode. Their relationship will undergo various tests, both in the office and outdoors.
I Have a Crush at Work Is a Charming Title about Office Love
I Have a Crush at Work is a screen adaptation of the manga of the same name by Enomoto Akamaru.
The artist clearly understands corporate routines and knows how to incorporate everyday life and romance into them. The characters in the series appear so genuine that they could be sitting at the next desk.
This could not have been achieved without the contribution of experienced screenwriter Masahiro Yokotani, whose résumé includes Toradora!, My New Boss Is Goofyl, and K-On!
Yui And Masugu's Relationship Develops Throughout The Entire Series
Yui and Masugu's life is full of awkward situations and rules. They agree not to call each other by name, not to drink too much at corporate parties, and to argue more often at work.
As they grow closer, the couple begins to appreciate and share each other's hobbies, learn more about each other, and fall even more in love. Each episode is dedicated to an important date, such as a vacation together, an anniversary, Christmas, or Valentine's Day.
Through these rituals, the anime demonstrates that you can always find time and energy to please your significant other or learn something new about them.
I Have a Crush at Work is far from boring. This office is filled with not only deadlines, but also inspiring love, a combination unlikely to be found in reality.
