When mundane office worker Kiyoshi Adachi turns 30 years old, he discovers that he has gained the ability to read minds due simply to remaining a virgin for his entire life. The caveat, however, is that he must make physical contact with a person to know what they are thinking about. Adachi believes there is no real use for this power until he accidentally hears the thoughts of his coworker, Yuuichi Kurosawa. Charismatic and dependable, Kurosawa is the star of Adachi's team at work, earning praise and admiration from everyone at the office. But deep within, Kurosawa harbors an intense one-sided crush for the gloomy Adachi—a fact that Adachi only learns because of his ability, and knowledge he tries to respectfully disregard. As Kurosawa treats Adachi with kindness and affection he has never experienced before, Adachi finds it increasingly difficult to ignore his coworker's genuine advances. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This Anime has made me realise, how great it is to be in love. I like how the beginning shows the viewer, the difficulties when you like the same gender. But that didn't stop Adachi. As far as he tried to deny Kurosawa's genuine feelings, in the end he couldn't. The anime conveys their feelings in such a lovely way, you get butterflies from just watching!!! Even the little substory is as realistic as it can be. The way the characters act makes my heart melt. If you need to watch a heart-warming romance anime, that potrays same gender love in their own, joyful way, this anime isfor you! <3

If this premise was slapped on to a straight romance, it would do INSANE numbers here, since mature office romances have been taking off. But na, it's gay and people's interest wanes. It's basically My New Boss is Goofy if they actually leaned on the gay subtext and developed it into a full fledged romance. This anime really belongs in the BL elites, having NO red flags, dubious situations with consent, or weird power dynamics between the characters, which in BL are rooted in gender roles they slap onto the femenine and dominant guy. Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses and constantly leaninto each other to solve the conflicting situations they're put in. We don't have long drawn out arguments or misunderstandings, and they're very assertive in how they deal with them. There's only one main con, but I'm willing to overlook it, and it's that sometimes the animation/drawings are a bit inconsistent, but it's BL so it probably didn't have much budget. But thanks to the stellar voice acting and overall sound design and ambiance, it's still a very immersive experience and I don't think it takes away from my personal enjoyment. Overall, this is one of my favorite romance anime in general, and one of the few ones that gets a satisfactory ending. Very rarely do we get to see anime couples beyond their confession and first kiss, and we get a bunch of their interactions and conflicts past those events. It's just very cute with a healthy dynamic. A feels-good watch and I'll never forget how gushy I felt every week while this aired, just squealing in excitement from all the developments and heartwarming moments. I'd say definitely give this anime a shot if you want a goofy but cute take on the office romance trope.
