    Need more romantic anime like this
    I stumbled upon Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku by pure accident and that maybe the best accident I did this week because the anime not only enjoyable but it also the best romantic anime I've seen in a long time when this time it not surround by high schooler with their cliché scenarios but with adult Otaku the kind of people that I can relate to on a spiritual level (I'm kind of 20 now). The story is cute and fluffy like any romantic anime out there but what make it so different than the other is how the characters balance their work and hobby while also deal with their love life like how a realistic adult do in real life and that maybe the first time I see it in anime form. I'm a hardcore fan of manga, anime and LN and I just like the group of main characters I don't really know how to express my hobby to other "normal people" and not come out weird as hell so this anime in some way like a guide to find friend for me.
