The popular romantic comedy "Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku" was also selected for "This Manga is Amazing! 2016 Women's Edition"! This time, we've compiled some moments that make you think, "It looks like otakus have so much fun together!" and make you feel envious. After reading this article, even non-otaku might become otaku themselves!
Even when you're together, you can do what you love!

Both Hirotaka and Narumi, and Kabakura and Koyanagi, spend most of their time together in their rooms reading manga or playing games. Isn't it great when couples spend time together doing the things they both enjoy without fighting? It's hard to make it work if only one partner is an otaku!
And even though they do the things they love, they're not bad friends at all, and both couples are very much in love. It's so enviable!
She's even comfortable reading BL books in front of her boyfriend!

What's more, Koyanagi is comfortable reading BL books in front of Kabakura. In fact, he sometimes deliberately reads 18+ BL books in a way that looks like Kabakura's. It doesn't bother him to see that, and I feel a bond of trust that goes beyond that.
Playing social games with colleagues!

Narumi, Hirotaka, and Kabakura all play the same social game, so when Koyanagi finds out, he joins in and the four of them play together. Kabakura says Koyanagi might have become jealous of Narumi and Hirotaka? It's fun to play games together, and it's great to work hard towards the same goal! It sounds like fun to have fun playing social games with your partner or a close colleague, so I'm jealous.
Collecting materials together as a couple!

For those who don't play games, many may wonder, "What is material gathering?" Essentially, it refers to collecting items within the game. It can be frustrating when you can't get the materials you want.
This is so important that when Hirotaka started dating Narumi, he said, "I can accompany you as much as you want, whether it's collecting materials or leveling up..." as an appealing point unique to otaku! Lol. It's so enviable that you can share the same interests with your partner!
Fujoshi and Comiket are welcome!

Once again, many of you may be wondering, "What is Comiket?" Comiket is an abbreviation for "Comic Market," and it's primarily a place where doujinshi are sold. While many people like Koyanagi dress up in cosplay, cosplay isn't required.
By the way, Narumi was selling doujinshi and Koyanagi was buying them (she is also a famous cosplayer), but Hirotaka and Kabakura also accompanied them to Comiket.
Fujoshi are also welcome!

While fujoshi aren't necessarily bad, Narumi has been dumped by her ex-boyfriends for revealing their otaku-ness or for being physically repulsive to fujoshi. However, Hirotaka helps her create BL books and accompanies her to sell doujinshi at Comiket. I envy Narumi, who is accepted for all her hobbies!
Not just lovers! Narumi and Koyanagi's relationship!

I envy otaku couples, but I'm especially envious of the Narumi & Koyanagi duo, who are otaku friends! They talk about BL, recommend manga, and generally have the same interests! They even ask each other for love advice, and their boyfriends are good friends too. Don't you think they're the most fun friends ever?
They quickly discovered they were otaku, and then they became close...

When Hirotaka mentioned the word "Comiket" in front of Koyanagi, Koyanagi's reaction made Narumi realize he was an otaku. From there, they explored the extent of Koyanagi's otaku status, but the two eventually quickly became close. Of course, having similar interests is a big factor, but it feels like they've been friends for about 10 years now. lol
