Plot : At a certain trading company, saleswoman Futaba Igarashi has managed to hold her respectable job for almost two years thanks to the guidance of her senior coworker—Harumi Takeda. However, due to Igarashi's short stature, Takeda often teases her and treats her like a kid, leaving Igarashi constantly annoyed by his antics.

Despite this, Igarashi notices Takeda's reliability as he is always ready to help whenever something at their workplace goes awry. As Igarashi and Takeda spend more time together, their relationship soon develops further than simply being coworkers at the office.

User Review: Ever wondered what's like to see what the office work environment in a slice of life comedy? Now you can see it with your eyes because My Senpai Is Annoying delivers the satisfaction of entertainment between two unlikely co-workers.

At first glance, My Senpai Is Annoying might trigger some red flags due to the appearances of the two main leads. Takeda looks like someone who is old enough to be Futaba's dad. But don't let that fool you. Futaba is a older than she looks despite having the appearance of a teenager. Whenever you see the duo together, it looks like a mismatch because how different they are. And really, Futaba displays the personality of a child when she's with Takeda. The title of the anime speaks for itself because she finds senpai Takeda annoying. Or does she....?

Coming into this show, the expectations should be open minded. Be prepared to watch an anime without a complex plot because the anime has a simple premise. In fact, the anime doesn't even try to hide the fact that Futaba has a crush on Takeda. Everyone seems to know this except for Takeda himself. Nonetheless, Futaba is the one who is often annoyed by Takeda when he teases her. She believes her senpai treats her like a little sister. And indeed, their relationship does feel sibling-like despite the show advertising it as a romantic comedy. The 'will they or won't they?' is a question I'm sure viewers will be asking themselves as each episode progresses. However, I will just say that you should temper expectations if you're expecting an actual love story. This isn't one of those dramatic rom-coms that uses romance as a main selling plot. It relies much more on comedy to highlight our characters' daily lives and how they interact with each other.

You may have also noticed on the promotional poster that Futaba and Takeda are surrounded by a small yet colorful supporting cast. Among one of the more interesting pairings in the show is Sakurai and Kazama. In later episodes, we see their inner connection and how they get along with each other both in and out of the office. Sometimes, it's even more appealing than watching Futaba and Takeda. Another noticable pair is Natsumi and Yuuto, with the the latter having a noticable crush on the tomboy. Watching this show will feel like a shipping war at times but honestly, I think that's what makes a rom-com effective. When you start to care about three or more character pairings in a single 12-episode show, then it's done a lot right that earned your attention.

As mentioned previously, this isn't some complex anime with a deep story. Characterization is what you see on the surface that doesn't go into in-depth development. The episodes are neatly structured similar to sitcoms where every episode offers something different. From Valentine's Day to an outdoors competition on the basketball court, every episode brings characters together to experience life. So in essence, My Senpai Is Annoying is the type of show that sells you exactly what it advertises.

And being a romantic comedy, the show keeps its visual quality simple and adapts them straight ouf of the manga. Now, the most obvious element to point at is the size difference between Futaba and Takeda. It's a running gag that both characters are self-aware of. Other characters such Sakurai makes the male population turn their heads. The anime doesn't make use of fan service much except through the use of ship teases. Overall, it keeps a simple yet effective usage of visual quality with every episode.

Looking for something to relax your mind? My Senpai Is Annoying is the right show for you because it keeps everything so simple. And at the end of a stressful day, this show will give you something to smile about.
