The hidden otaku references are very cute to see. I believe that their relationship is much more interesting to watch and read about compared to our leading characters. They are constantly arguing, but their banter comes off as more playful rather than something truly degrading. To me, I find the relationship between Hanako and Taro to be more interesting and plausible. While it is cute to see their relationship evolve, I do doubt the feelings Narumi develops are actually towards Hirotaka because she keeps replaying flashbacks of their childhood. Narumi slowly developed feelings for Hirotaka over time. My main concern with the pair is their romance. While Narumi and Hirotaka don’t share the same opinions on everything otaku-related, they respect one another’s thoughts and get along really well due to their personal love for anything otaku related.
Hirotaka is a cold man who has his personal preferences as an otaku as well. We learn about her preferences as an otaku and isn’t fit into one specific archetype. For example, Narumi is a cute woman yet isn’t the hardest worker. The characters in the manga don’t fit into their traditional archetypes, rather they focus on their personal.
He accepts, and from there, the two begin dating and learn how to deal with otaku related issues within their relationship and friendship with co-workers: Hanako Koyanagi and Taro Kabakura. Narumi invites Hirotaka for a drink to rekindle their friendship, and in their conversations, she decides to ask Hirotaka to be her boyfriend. Unlike Narumi, Hirotaka doesn’t care about hiding his hobbies and tends to have an apathetic exterior. One day she meets her childhood friend, Hirotaka Nifuji. She keeps her hobbies a secret from her non-otaku friends and her work life.
Wotakoi: Love is hard for Otaku is about Narumi Momose, an otaku who finds that her hobbies are a burden in her life.
Luckily, the following manga doesn’t have any additional shoujo gunk to clog up anyone’s mind. There is certainly nothing wrong with that as romance manga are my guilty pleasure, but I am worried that I’m seeing life through rose-tinted glasses due to all of the shoujo-style happy endings. At this point, I have written too many reviews on romance manga.
