I’m on the fence about this one…
First, it’s cute and light! Follows an episodic story progression complete with childish excitement and a grumpy guy in denial. Oh, and he’s a bit on the chubby side.
But I don’t know, I’m teetering between just accepting that Minegishi loves to feed Otsu because he likes seeing him geniunely enjoy something and borderline having a fetish of keeping him fat. It feels like it’s MEANT to be the first one, though I can see how people might take offense. That’s why I’m giving it 3 stars - it’s not ‘I don’t like this’ territory, but it’s ‘I’ve got some issues with it’.
I do like when Otsu catches himself blushing and gets frustrated with himself and when Minegishi gets excited that Otsu likes what he brings/makes him. The dynamic between them with the office setting is interesting too. Not sure if I’ll continue the series but I’m glad I checked it out at least!
