Damn our resident milf manager is pushing 40, she really is best girl huh. It took a while to get to the age gap talk, though we didn’t actually get her age at first. Instead, we got her going full half-court shot by straight up asking the uncle if he likes Tamaya LMFAOO. Best wing girl and best girl in general. And at least she actually revealed her age at the end herself, so that clears things up. And hey, 24 and 40 isn’t that bad.. right?

Should’ve figured honestly, only a 40-year-old could have that kind of drive at work. That montage was insane man. Fourteen days straight he said, that’s wild. Still, he got a nice reward at the end with Tamaya in short sleeves like the uncle prefers, so that’s a win. And uncle basically got a two-for-one this episode too, he even got to see Yamada in short sleeves, and in casual clothes on top of that.

Uncle was definitely winning this episode after that brutal two-week work grind.

Just dropping another Jugemu. I really need to learn that one, I want to.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Got another anime providing a Jugemu reference there, reminded me of Akane-banashi with that brief moment, even if it was used for a distraction.

Episode was another solid one. The work environment that Sasaki has to deal with in the black company there is quite dreadful to say the least, very painful montage of him getting drained and his co-workers leaving responsibilities to him to further increase the stress and energy drain that he had to experience for a couple weeks there. At least he did manage to interact with Yamada/Tayama there and even just conversing with her a bit was able to put him at ease after all the work and have him rest a bit more comfortably, even with some free drawings on the back of his hand like that. The scene where he and Yamada were drawing on some dolls was another scene with some wholesome interactions there, the Gotou one is really uncanny to say the least. Also got to learn a bit of the age gap present in this romance too. Gotou was skeptical of the relationship between Sasaki and Yamada since he never pushes to ask personal questions and basic details like her age, but did realize his good points too (besides the accidental shoplifting that happened later on in the episode). 24 years old is Yamada, definitely there for sure but Yamada does not seem to mind for the time being. While Sasaki has been paying quite a bit of attention to her and Tayama, she's been paying quite the attention to him as well (even if some of the motives are to get a surprise out of him for satisfaction).

The animation is decent, but man, the music is such a good fit for the series so far. I'm really enjoying how that has complimented the ambience of the source material so far. Been a highlight for sure.

40 wouldn't be too bad. However he is 45 according to wiki, almost double her age.

Don't get me wrong I like dynamics between them but their age gap is always at the back of mind.

Seeing yamada worried how due to sasaki's health checkout yamada will never able to meet with him again while sasaki vice versa with his health checkout even if he might stop smoking he will never see "tayama" is such a great writing.

i think this is 9 and 10? I hope so

So, the manage is 40, couldn't have guessed really, she don't look it at all. Sasaki being around his 40s, no specific number as far as I know, and Tamaya/Yamada being 24, at least that is what she meant. I hope there's like another meaning to that cause an almost 20 or more year age gap is kind of wild. She could have def passed for early/mid thirties, it's anime bruh.
Office work in Japan really is like a sweatshop huh? They got em working like dogs lmao. It's not funny btw, it kind of pisses me off cause I'm sure that's probably how it is irl too. Yamada teasing him in regular clothing was so funny and cute, I like that they get to interact more as Sazaki and "Yamada".

The manager is 40. Sasaki is in his 40s, as I expected. Though a direct confirmation would've been nice. But he didn't deny it. But wait. Yamada IS 24?! Bruh. I thought she could be in her 20s, but that's younger than I expected. Kinda glad this series isn't that popular now cause Xitter would've had a meltdown if they found this out. Edit- I read a synopsis, and apparently he's 45. I thought he might be in his early 40s, but he's in his mid 40s? No wonder he's called an oji-san so often... And it's a 21-year age gap between him and Yamada. She could almost be his daughter lmao.

14 days of non-stop work sounds like hell. How the hell is Sasaki still alive? That chief is a piece of shit. This has to be illegal... But I guess this is Japan, so it doesn't really matter either way.

Tayama making fun of Sasaki as Yamada in casual clothes was just peak ngl. But how does she change that hair anyway? This episode in general was great.

The music is so cool. It gives me some 80s anime vibes.

This series is turning out to be quite promising. The first part of the episode was done well and the manager seems to be a very interesting character who is likely going to play a big part for the rest of this show. I thought that the second part of the episode did a fantastic job showcasing the monotonous lifestyle that Sasaki lives through his work and how intensive it is. As the watcher you could really feel him getting more fed up with each passing day. This series is shaping up to be a very enjoyable one.

First half (EP9 mini) - We finally know their ages! Tayama is young with high sex-drive. Yep, it figures.

Second half (Ep10 mini) - Horrible two weeks for Sasaki, but the break ended up pretty good for him meeting Yamada in casual clothes. And now Tayama knows his superstitious quirk.

Man. I know it's a cultural thing and it's difficult for people to just quit (I know people who have worked for "black" companies in the past; supposedly things are improving), but a boss like old baldy deserves to have all his employees quit at the same time. I guess all the work piling up for the whole team might suggest that the boss actually does something when he's there, at least.

Man... fourtysomething with the mentality of a 13 year old. This guy absolutely doesn't deserve to have anyone if he still so childish at his age. He's literally the type of guy that I don't mind getting NTR'd because he so pathetic. However, this show is kinda funny, even with that super irritating gag, so I guess I can be somewhat forgiving... maybe - LOL

@Myetx true. Is a 10 year age gap also bad? I’m still reminded of my sister age gap with her significant other… but tbh idc as long as she’s happy ig but at first I dint like it.

This time Sasaki and the manager spent some time together because of a little accident. Sasaki is in his 40s while the manager is 40. Tayama head all the conversation. Then she said hers. It's 24. She's younger than I expected. And Sasaki is still trying to figure out what she meant by that number.

The first half was actually about Sasaki and his colleagues overwork. His workplace is a hell. Japan is infamous for this kind of thing.

Sasaki is really good at drawing. Then he was so much tired that he took a nap beside Tayama. It was 14 straight workdays.

Yamada really likes teasing Sasaki. She surprised him in casual dress. He was so distracted that he took a magazine without paying.

Man that workplace is brutal especially when the main boss is off and Sasaki having to deal with other coworkers' responsibilities plus the rain. At least Yamada and her manager were around to mess with Sasaki for some wholesome entertainment. Btw I hope Sasaki isn't still pondering what Yamada meant by 24...

Man, this episodes always leave me with a nice feeling. So wholesome.

Poor Sasaki, the guyy works way too much (if this is for real the life of salary men in japan... I don't know if I would be able to do it xD). I loved this longer interaction with "Yamada" out of the register, and also the drawings they made.

Cute episode

Second to last episode before the minisode coverage has ended and wow this is getting sweeter!

Seeing Sasaki and Goto share their moments are sometimes appreciated, the dynamic between the two is very underrated. And holy UNCness, both of them are hitting 40, like the boy, Drizzy Drake. Plus, Tayama finally reveals her age and---- HOLY AGE GAP!!! She's just like an older sister from her age, and hey I don't mind her style at all at 24.

Sasaki having those 2 weeks of suffering made us realize something in our very own eyes...CHAD-SAKI HAS SOME AURA WHEN HIS HAIR IS DOWN! And he's muscular too which is a bit of surprise. I swear if Tayama sees this version of Chadsaki then all hell is going to break loose. Also, very cute drawing between the two and seeing Tayama smile is always a sweet dose of cuteness.

Plus, in each and every episode, I think that Sasaki is slowly looking for Tayama more than Yamada, that is what is implied during their last scene together when he sees for (blank). Yeah at this point, Yamada the Cashier is nice but I think Sasaki is slowly falling for her real side, and I think our girl will slowly head into that realization.

Too bad, Densesaki still striked in this episode, this time shoplifting a mag, too bad.
