  What's up y'all? Welcome back to Danny's to talk.
• 0:06
  I'm your host Robert. And today I'm going to be
• 0:09
  talking about a couple of series and what I'm calling tacos and
• 0:15
  office romance. So today I'm going to be kind of
• 0:18
  doing like a double combo review of sorts of what Sukhoi love is
• 0:25
  hard for Anna. Taco anime season 1, as well as
• 0:30
  I'm a wolf. But my This is a sheep manga
• 0:34
  volume 1. Now, you might wonder Robert,
• 0:39
  why are you doing a double review?
• 0:41
  What's going on? How did we get here?
• 0:46
  Well, so the other day or I guess like a week or so ago,
• 0:50
  whatever I saw that the I'm a wolf with my bosses of sheep
• 0:56
  Mongo is coming out and I read the synopsis and I was like,
• 0:59
  hmm, that sounds interesting which is Hi, I'm gonna get to
• 1:02
  the synopsis about just in case anybody is new here but you know
• 1:06
  I read the synopsis of the synopsis of it and I was like,
• 1:09
  that sounds interesting. I'm probably going to pick that
• 1:11
  up. Well, one of my friends Mutual
• 1:15
  rules that I follow on Twitter. They had picked up.
• 1:19
  I'm trying to think I don't think was a somebody here review
• 1:22
  to any, who somebody had picked it up, posting a picture of her
• 1:27
  and I was, I was okay cool. I'm looking forward to to
• 1:31
  checking that out and they said that I'm a wolf but my boss is a
• 1:37
  sheep is like a mixture of sweat, a soap, which I enjoyed
• 1:45
  reading volume 1 of that and I'm making my way through Volume 2
• 1:49
  and I have not done a review. For that as well.
• 1:51
  If you want to go check that out.
• 1:52
  But somebody said it's a mixture of sweat and soap, as well as
• 1:57
  love is hard for an otaku. Now, the love is hard for an
• 2:00
  otaku combination or comparison. They sent manly comes in because
• 2:06
  the main character of I'm a wolf whose name is ogami.
• 2:11
  Said that. He looks like the main character
• 2:13
  of of loyalty koi which is a hirotaka, which If you know,
• 2:21
  looking at the video or if you seen images of both of them.
• 2:24
  Yeah. Especially because they both
• 2:26
  were blue suits. They both have glasses, the
• 2:29
  hair. I definitely see the see the
• 2:31
  comparison while. So, what's a coin, is a series
• 2:34
  that I've kind of, like, I've known about for a while and I
• 2:39
  always think about are to my mouth manga shopping.
• 2:41
  I'll see, the ROM is whatever, but I just never fully delve
• 2:44
  into. A.
• 2:46
  So I was like, you know what, screw it.
• 2:49
  Let's go ahead and watch this. It's only 11 episodes.
• 2:54
  So I checked it out and I'm gonna get to that one in a
• 2:57
  second, but let me just kind of back things up a bit.
• 3:00
  So For Those whom I don't know. So I'm gonna start off with, I'm
• 3:04
  a wolf but my boss is a sheep. So the synopsis of this or this
• 3:09
  series, in general, pull up the information.
• 3:13
  It is the story art is done by. She know Shimizu the first
• 3:19
  volume just came out this week in February and it's published
• 3:24
  by Seven Seas and as far as Walter coy The manga for that,
• 3:32
  if not watch the anime, but still, the manga is written by,
• 3:36
  for jata, and that's published by kodansha comics.
• 3:41
  And the anime was let me see. It was produced by A-1 pictures
• 3:49
  and it's straight, and it's streaming on Amazon Prime, and
• 3:52
  it was only eleven episodes came out in 2018.
• 3:54
  So a few years ago, and as far as the manga, I found out that
• 3:59
  the manga for what to call you actually.
• 4:01
  Last year and the final volume in English is going to be coming
• 4:04
  out in a couple of months. So after watching the season,
• 4:10
  I'm going to pick up the manga but starting off with I'm a she
• 4:15
  but I'm a wolf, my bosses of sheep.
• 4:17
  The synopsis for this is ogami, a salaryman working for a
• 4:22
  betting company, has a pretty standard routine.
• 4:25
  He does his work keeps himself and hides his huge crush on his
• 4:29
  supervisor normally this. This does just fine for him.
• 4:33
  But when he suddenly transferred to his secret crushes
• 4:37
  Department, it's a blessing and a curse.
• 4:40
  His biggest problem, he's a wolf while his boss and all his
• 4:44
  co-workers or sheep. This wolf boy is in for more
• 4:49
  than a case of simple puppy love.
• 4:53
  Now, this was such a fun read and just kind of, you know, a
• 4:59
  little bit of like like the These way, so comparison comes
• 5:04
  into, you know, they're both working for a product company of
• 5:07
  source, but you know where it's wet.
• 5:09
  So they work for like a fragrance, fragrance and
• 5:12
  perfume, and soaps company, and I'm a wolf, they work for a
• 5:17
  Betting Company. So they make, you know, pillows
• 5:19
  and bears and different stuff like that.
• 5:22
  And so this volume or this series, it was just such a cute
• 5:28
  breed just because of Bit awkward situations and and, and,
• 5:35
  and that the main character ogami finds himself in, you
• 5:39
  know, with him being a wolf and everybody has the permit being a
• 5:44
  sheep. Because, you know, there's been
• 5:47
  problems in the past where, you know, because of course it's
• 5:49
  like carnivores and herbivores and like even though they're
• 5:53
  kind of classified as people, they had, they descended from
• 5:57
  those animals and stuff and so they still have Those different
• 6:02
  Primal, urges and Sensations, and stuff like that.
• 6:06
  So of course, sometimes, you know, ogami, you know, can be a
• 6:11
  bit intimidating, you know, not necessary because he's trying to
• 6:14
  be, but just the nature of, you know, him being a wolf.
• 6:21
  And so there's just so many just cute moments to where, you know,
• 6:26
  he's wanted to get closer to his boss and kind of like tell her
• 6:31
  Her how he feels, but he also doesn't want to come off as like
• 6:35
  being forceful, and just kind of, basically, just trying to
• 6:39
  figure out the best way to like, approach her and walk the line
• 6:44
  and saying, same thing with, with even the boss herself, like
• 6:46
  she finds herself, you know, interested in him.
• 6:49
  And one thing that I just like, I loved about reading this is
• 6:52
  that, you know, throughout the volume you meet other characters
• 6:57
  who are based off of other animals because like there, Is
• 7:01
  one character, she is a black leopard and she ogami.
• 7:09
  He used to work at her Department before he transferred
• 7:12
  over to where he is now. And so once again that
• 7:16
  department was was based was a lot of like carnivores that
• 7:21
  stuff. So like I said it's like the
• 7:22
  black leopard. Check their boss over there.
• 7:24
  He's a lying, one other co-workers, he's a cat as so.
• 7:31
  You know, they have little bit more competitive nature versus I
• 7:38
  believe she was nothing coming with Shimizu but his his
• 7:43
  supervisor, the Sheep supervisor because there are times where
• 7:47
  she's having to lead a meeting and they just kind of talk about
• 7:51
  how normally sheep or kind of more timid and docile by nature,
• 7:56
  but she stepped up and she's taking charge she's head of this
• 8:00
  whole department. Chili.
• 8:01
  She leaves a lot of very big and important meetings, and projects
• 8:06
  and stuff and so, so, yeah. So overall, it was just such a
• 8:10
  freaking cute and awesome read that.
• 8:15
  I am definitely very excited to see where it goes.
• 8:18
  It just sucks that I looked like volume too isn't coming out to
• 8:21
  like freaking November of this year.
• 8:23
  So that's a super long way. But one that I will be there day
• 8:27
  one to pick up the next volume of this solid.
• 8:31
  So, like I said, differently, if you enjoyed sweats soap, that I
• 8:36
  definitely think this would be right up your alley as well.
• 8:39
  Because like I said, just a little bit of, like, an office
• 8:41
  romance. They have a couple moments where
• 8:43
  they get, like, you know, really close to each other.
• 8:45
  Black says that awkwardness of, you know, of, you know, him
• 8:51
  being a wolf, her being a sheep now, The other thing with this
• 8:57
  is just, I don't know, like I said, it's just so many just
• 9:00
  like so many cute little panels and stuff.
• 9:03
  Of course, a lot of the other sheep co-workers, they are messy
• 9:07
  because they openly talked about trying to get him fired.
• 9:13
  Because, you know, in the past they've had other Predator type
• 9:17
  of carnivore type of co-workers coming to the apartment.
• 9:23
  But there is always an incident where they They bite somebody or
• 9:27
  they know attack somebody or whatever and they end up getting
• 9:31
  fired. And so they legit was trying to
• 9:33
  set up our boy ogami because like a one of the first things
• 9:38
  that have been involved in chapter one was he was in the
• 9:41
  elevator with all these sheep women and so he is like trying
• 9:46
  his hardest to suppress his Primal urges and come to find
• 9:50
  out later on. They set them up by laughs.
• 9:53
  Hey, that's all crowd on the elevator together.
• 9:56
  With him and maybe get him to bite one of us and then we can
• 10:00
  get him out of here, you know? But he is actually just a he's
• 10:03
  actually really cool and sweet and wholesome dude.
• 10:08
  And you know, there's even a moment where, you know, they're
• 10:10
  kind of out drinking or whatever and come across has other wolf
• 10:14
  guy who is, you know, coming off as a butthole a little bit and
• 10:19
  that ogami kind of steps in and defense is the Sheep ladies.
• 10:26
  Have so. Maya overall, X is sweet.
• 10:29
  Fun read. Go check it out.
• 10:32
  Now, Walter coy. So for this series, so basically
• 10:38
  the the basic premise of this series is that it follows a core
• 10:44
  cast of characters narumi for anybody is going to looking at
• 10:50
  the like the cover image the roommate.
• 10:52
  She's the girl with the pink hair.
• 10:56
  Hirotaka. He is the guy with the blue
• 11:00
  hair. Let me see.
• 11:06
  Hanako she is the one with the green hair and Kamakura he's the
• 11:13
  one with the orange hair. And then later on, we get
• 11:16
  introduced to. Now your who is the guy with the
• 11:19
  yellow hair who is hirotaka younger brother and then Co who
• 11:27
  she is the one with the purple hair who also gets you just
• 11:30
  later on but I won't Sukhoi likes it.
• 11:33
  Follows best best. As the title implies that
• 11:35
  implies love is hard for an otaku.
• 11:38
  All these people are otaku's. They love animated of manga.
• 11:43
  They love video games, all this nerdy stuff.
• 11:47
  And so they are basically paired up in different pairs of
• 11:50
  relationships and stuff. But they're adults working no
• 11:54
  corporate jobs and stuff like this.
• 11:56
  And so the main for I talked about, they all work together
• 12:00
  and so narumi. She mainly, She, you know she
• 12:04
  likes on, Tommy, Tommy games and Anime and still that's her
• 12:10
  primary thing. But here at soccer, he's
• 12:15
  primarily a gamer but, you know, he's into anime and manga and
• 12:18
  stuff too. Hanako I loved her so freaking
• 12:22
  much she is into manga primarily BL boys, love manga, but she
• 12:30
  also loves to cosplay she liked and she likes to do gender.
• 12:34
  In Cosplay and then Kamakura he's into Yuri Manga and stuff.
• 12:44
  So, so yeah. So like I said that, that's the
• 12:48
  general premise of it is jazzed these adults doing adult things
• 12:54
  but also being nerds and stuff and I cannot believe it took me
• 13:00
  so freaking long to try this series out.
• 13:04
  Because this show spoke to my freakin heart just because of
• 13:08
  the fact that, you know, I'm a nerd.
• 13:10
  Y'all know I freaking name, my son after anime character Vash.
• 13:14
  My wife is a big nerd. Me and my wife, all my kids, we
• 13:18
  all play video games. You know, we watch anime, all
• 13:21
  this different stuff. If?
• 13:23
  So, just even the moments of like hanako and Kamakura, then
• 13:32
  waking up, Early mornings on the weekends having coffee and
• 13:38
  reading their manga. It reminds me of a, I have a
• 13:41
  very close friend from college named Bree.
• 13:44
  Every time I go down to visit and stay with her husband.
• 13:48
  That is our Sunday mornings. Is like we do when we get up
• 13:51
  Sunday morning, we have breakfast and we all and we just
• 13:54
  sit around the table reading manga and stuff together.
• 13:57
  And so, yeah, it was like, it was just such a sweet and
• 14:02
  wholesome show. So I really enjoyed just seeing
• 14:08
  them just juggling balance, you know, having corporate lives and
• 14:13
  and also like trying to because because when you know, cut when
• 14:16
  it kind of first began narumi and hirotaka, they both start
• 14:23
  off as new employees at the same company.
• 14:25
  And we found out that they are childhood friends who grew up
• 14:29
  together so they were little little, they grew up together
• 14:32
  camera, each others house play video. just have all the time
• 14:35
  and now they kind of reconnected through this job and both of
• 14:40
  their bosses are actually dating and so is this thing to where
• 14:47
  they're roomy kind of, you know, she's trying to hide being in
• 14:53
  being an otaku and so basically I'm something I think I think
• 14:59
  she is saw hanako Watching anime or something, or whatever on a
• 15:05
  lunch break or something at basically, that's how they kind
• 15:07
  of first connected and things just went from there, but I just
• 15:11
  enjoyed just seeing adults adults, but also enjoying their
• 15:15
  hobbies and stuff them going to Anime conventions.
• 15:19
  Then cosplaying them teaming up and playing video games online
• 15:23
  together. And then I just loved how, you
• 15:26
  know, it just expanded from there to where, you know, we got
• 15:32
  Now, are you here at tacos younger brother introduced
• 15:35
  later? I will, and I loved how the way
• 15:37
  he was introduced by narumi running into him at the coffee
• 15:42
  shop and them talking, but then Kamakura is like yo, who is this
• 15:48
  dude? She's talking to he's trying to
• 15:51
  stand up for his boy here at Aqaba.
• 15:55
  Not knowing all along that know. She knows him because that's her
• 16:00
  friend's little brother. Other type of situation and then
• 16:04
  like towards the end of the season where we can't reduce the
• 16:06
  CO2 where now you're finally finds somebody that he can
• 16:11
  connect with the stuff but not knowing at the time that code is
• 16:15
  a girl. But you know she she just
• 16:17
  dresses like a boy no just kind of like know just kind of
• 16:20
  staying low key. Don't want to be bothered likes
• 16:23
  for most of our students are herself, but even just like in
• 16:27
  the few episodes of got to see her in just saying her start to
• 16:31
  slowly come out of her. Now being around now Arya and
• 16:35
  stuff. But yes, it like I said, this
• 16:38
  was such a delightful watch definitely one.
• 16:42
  I highly recommend to. Honestly, if you were here or
• 16:46
  even watching this video and you've never watched Walter Coy,
• 16:51
  go watch it right now, watch it or read it whichever but go
• 16:57
  check out that series. Because like I said, I'm upset
• 17:01
  that. I slept this long on this series
• 17:04
  and just a thing of like, it's in the freaking title otaku love
• 17:08
  is hard for an otaku. And I remember hearing over the
• 17:12
  years that it has something to do with, you know, the
• 17:15
  characters been in two games and nerdy stuff, whatever.
• 17:18
  But I think it wasn't until I actually watched it myself and
• 17:24
  actually start to see it and like, the intro and everything
• 17:28
  is speaking. And the answer on actor at
• 17:31
  throughout the whole show in general, the music is just so
• 17:34
  nice and chill. This is definitely kind of like
• 17:37
  a peaceful and comforting anime. And I figured it was like, it
• 17:44
  was like, what better way to kind of wrap up the month of
• 17:47
  February? And the month of love that kind
• 17:51
  of, with both of these series, both Walter coy, as well as I'm
• 17:54
  a wolf and my bosses but my bosses sheep because I said he's
• 17:58
  were both just very Sweet. And wholesome reads and I love.
• 18:03
  Like I said, just getting a chance to once again, just
• 18:06
  getting more stories with adult characters doing adult things
• 18:11
  been having their day jobs and then going home and you know,
• 18:17
  playing video games and you know, hey they got all I got a
• 18:20
  week off of work. I'm just going to finally catch
• 18:23
  up on some games. But one thing I will say about
• 18:26
  wants a coin is that it's that it just does really good about
• 18:29
  kind of like Showing these characters and how they kind of
• 18:34
  bond and grow because you know, narumi and hirotaka, you know,
• 18:41
  they've known each other since childhood.
• 18:43
  So you know, sometimes I know it might be kind of difficult
• 18:48
  sometimes for people to kind of see somebody that you've grown
• 18:52
  up with, you know, in different light or whatever that you might
• 18:56
  get so comfortable in certain ways.
• 18:59
  So if you're like, huh, okay man.
• 19:00
  Maybe you know, maybe we do need to make sure we're going out and
• 19:03
  not just always you know going home and playing games and
• 19:09
  support around. It got to make sure.
• 19:10
  Hey we're still going out and doing day since I've been
• 19:14
  honestly it honestly kind of struck me in the heart because
• 19:16
  it made me kind of thing. My like, you know what, me and
• 19:19
  my wife had it going. Well, we did the other day, but
• 19:22
  before then is like, man, we hadn't really gone out and done
• 19:25
  nothing in a while. And I feel like that just says,
• 19:28
  something like I said to, where I can relate so much with the
• 19:30
  show. Show to it actually makes me
• 19:32
  reflect on what I'm doing and my life and stuff and it's like,
• 19:36
  okay, you know what? Yeah, I do need to go and do you
• 19:40
  know, do more things with my wife and stuff away from the
• 19:45
  kids because we do family stuff all the time but it's like, no
• 19:48
  got to make sure. Hey, make sure my baby is taken
• 19:50
  care of and we're having a lone adult time of to ourselves and
• 19:57
  stuff going out and exploring and doing fun stuff again.
• 20:01
  Cox's at that was just something like, said that hirotaka really
• 20:05
  kind of started to kind of think about towards like the end of
• 20:11
  the season and stuff of like, okay, you know, we do need to do
• 20:16
  more but yeah, like I said it was just so many things in the
• 20:21
  show that I can relate to because even though the freaking
• 20:29
  expressions and the The is just so amazing in the show because
• 20:33
  even when a narumi was going to go and just surprised hirotaka
• 20:40
  with the, with the surprise visit, you know, at the end of
• 20:43
  their vacation week. And so she comes over and, you
• 20:50
  know, she finds him just like passed out on the floor and she
• 20:53
  looks up. And she sees that the game is
• 20:57
  on, he passed out in the kitchen, which she was like, She
• 21:01
  put two and two together like oh you haven't been eating and
• 21:05
  basically sleeping, right or whatever.
• 21:08
  And I'm pretty sure all of us that have left live that life
• 21:11
  and maybe even still do sometimes, whatever are guilty
• 21:14
  of getting deep into a gaming session or anime bench or a
• 21:18
  manga read through and time is just passing.
• 21:22
  And it's like, man, what it's like when did I eat?
• 21:25
  Wait, it's, you know, it's the Sun is up already, so we've all
• 21:28
  done that. So make sure hey, make sure I'll
• 21:30
  take it. Are y'all selves while having
• 21:32
  all this fun? But but yeah, likes it.
• 21:36
  Go check out these series. They're both very awesome.
• 21:39
  Very fun. I'm probably going to end up
• 21:42
  going and buying up, won't sukhoi/hal for sure.
• 21:48
  Try to make sure I buy all of them or try to start collecting
• 21:50
  them in the lead-up, to the final volume coming out in May
• 21:54
  because I would definitely love to read all of it and then do
• 21:58
  like a series review or discussion or something.
• 22:01
  Either by myself or maybe even with somebody I'm in the
• 22:03
  community. So but yeah, but let me know
• 22:07
  what y'all thought. If you've been already have
• 22:12
  washed or you've already been reading, want to cry.
• 22:14
  Let me know. Your thoughts on that series and
• 22:16
