Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Two office otaku stumble into love, proving spreadsheets and anime conventions can coexist.

Narumi Momose bursts into her first day at a bustling marketing firm, frantic and secretly terrified that anyone will discover her otaku lifestyle and fujoshi passion. She vows to keep her hobby life hidden, but fate throws a curveball when she bumps into Hirotaka Nifuji, a middle‑school classmate who’s now a fellow office worker. Their casual after‑hours chat quickly spirals into an otaku confession when Hirotaka asks about her plans for the upcoming Comiket, exposing Narumi’s true self. Fortunately, the only other witnesses—Hanako and Tarō—are also proud geeks, turning what could have been a disaster into a comfortable circle of shared nerdy interests. Later that night, over drinks, Hirotaka learns why Narumi’s past romance fell apart: her ex couldn’t handle her fujoshi enthusiasm. He proposes a bold solution—dating a fellow otaku, starting with himself. He pledges to be her teammate in both love and monster‑hunting raids, promising endless support and rare loot. Swept up by his earnestness, Narumi accepts, and the series follows their delightfully clumsy, office‑set romance as they juggle deadlines, cosplay cravings, and the occasional gaming marathon, proving that love can thrive amid spreadsheets and anime conventions alike.
