I personally had mixed feelings for this show because I didn’t really enjoy most of the couples storyline since it was the same thing over and over again. I felt Tomonari and Aoi were so adorable and I was totally obsessed with them and I was glad they were the main couple, but the others I had mixed feelings with. I will warn you that there might be spoilers so be aware.
I loved Tomonari and Aoi’s relationship because they truly cared about each other. Their storyline was adorable because it went from the rumors of Tomonari being very scary and a mean boss, but Aoi had a moment with him on the elevator where a guy was saying mean comments about her height since she’s taller than a normal girl, but Tomonari said he doesn’t care about if a girls height towers over him. Over time Aoi started to have a crush on Tomonari and couldn’t tell if he likes her since he never showed any signs until it was clear when Aoi passed out on a work trip and he ran to see her in the hospital and it was clear that he fell in love. Then they started dating and they were so adorable and they were a green flag relationship where they could tell each other anything because when Aoi felt uncomfortable because her undergarments were miss matched Tomonari said he doesn’t care about that and would rather have her be comfortable instead of look good. I would say the only bad part of their relationship was when Tomonari recommended Aoi to go to the Osaka Branch without her permission so she was sent away when she didn’t want to go, but I was glad they made up.
I personally disliked Sakamoto and Ichikawa’s relationship because their relationship became so childish due to Sakamoto always crying and always complaining about something being wrong with their relationship for example he was upset when she didn’t hold his hand and felt she didn’t like him anymore or when she distanced herself from him then he was upset. I’m also gonna bring up the fact that she rejected Robin (Ichikawa’s bed friend) who is so handsome for someone like Sakamoto that’s childish. I also didn’t like how they kept going back and forth about how they have a 8 year age difference, but it’s like what people say age is just a number.
Ozu and Oshima had a weird relationship in my opinion because it focused a lot on how Oshima wouldn’t pick anything out for their dates and always assumed that Ozu would not like him if he became fat or he wanted her to be comfortable, when Ozu kept saying that she doesn’t care about anything, but wants them to both be happy in their relationship.
I also assume there was supposed to be a BL couple which was Itami who was Aoi’s employee/intern and Kodai who was in the same department as Oshima and Sakamoto. They weren’t really in the show, but all we know is that Itami is gay and likes Tomonari and Kodai broke up with his girlfriend because she felt him and Itami were too close. Overall, this show wasn’t my favorite, but it depends on if you like the couples because I could deal with them majority of the time, so I would recommend this series if you like multiple couples.
