Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Narumi Momose oversleeps through every alarm and rushes into the first day at a new office determined to keep one thing hidden: she’s an otaku—and a fujoshi. That resolve crumbles almost immediately when she bumps into Hirotaka Nifuji, a middle-school friend, and his offhand mention of Summer Comiket gives her away. The only people who overhear, Hanako Koyanagi and Tarou Kabakura, turn out to be otaku themselves, making the workplace a little more familiar than Narumi expected.

Over drinks that night, Narumi vents about being dumped for her hobbies, and Hirotaka bluntly suggests a simpler solution: date someone who shares them—namely, him. With a promise to support her both in life and in late-night gaming grinds, he asks her out, and Narumi accepts on the spot. Their relationship begins with all the charm and awkwardness of two working adults learning how to balance romance with the passions they’ve always loved.
