My Senpai is Annoying (2021)
[先輩がうざい後輩の話]
Director: Ryota Itoh
Studio: Doga Kobo
Starring: Tomori Kusunoki, Shunsuke Takeuchi, Saori Hayami
Episodes: 12
Synopsis:
A petite office worker is frequently annoyed by her boisterous colleague, but things get complicated when romantic feelings get added to the mix.
Impressions:
The striking physical contrast between our leads here is enough to catch the eye and right off the bat we establish a good dynamic between Igarashi and Takeda. It's a bit complicated with the romantic element as their relationship seems more like a father and daughter. Possibly because of this, development on the romantic front is rather slow-paced, but we get to contrast that with beta couple Kazama and Sakurai, which actually seems to be preferred by a large segment of the audience. There's no major drama nor much wacky comedy. Overall, there's a fairly chill tone which makes for easy viewing punctuated by some nice tender moments. I enjoyed this quite a bit and would recommend adding it to your collection.
