An adult romance surprises this season

Among the many premieres of the season Winter-2025 (January-March)definitely “I Have a Crush at Work (Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu)” was not one that had much expectation about it. So much so that no streaming platform deigned to license this series, so there is absolutely no legal way to watch it on the Internet.

And at the end of the day, far from all the isekai rehashes, second seasons and irrelevant proposals, it turned out that “I Have a Crush at Work” is already one of the most talked about series to date. All this thanks to the development of the first episode, which reached a quite shocking development considering today's standards.

But before we explain what happened, let's review the synopsis of the series:

• «Yui Mitsuya and Masugu Tateishi are not just any coworkers: they are crazy about each other. His helpful and humble attitude drives her crazy, and his friendliness makes her smile like a fool. The problem is that they try to keep their new relationship a secret to prevent things from getting ugly at work. But since they can't keep their hands off each other, they run the risk of revealing their little secret every day they spend in the office.».

As you can see, it is a romance starring two adults, which definitely opens the door to more traditional situations than the typical “I feel sorry for holding your hand.” Anyway, a user on Twitter didn't take long to give this series a chance and shared a fragment of the first episode where the protagonists Yui Mitsuya and Masugu Tateishi have a small fight and then have make-up sex.

And yes, the above was enough to attract the attention of millions of people. The clip in question already has almost 4 million views, showing that Today's audiences want to see romantic relationships that take things beyond simple youthful flirting.and the desire for a seinen romance was definitely reflected in this new proposal.

It is possible that Crunchyroll, or unfortunately HIDIVE, will end up announcing the distribution license for this anime series in the coming days (if they have plans to do so), but they have already lost a lot of potential views simply by trusting in this project.
