Turns Out My Online Friend is My Real-Life Boss!

Overall, it was an ok story with a strong start and mediocre ending. Hashimoto plays an online game and unknowingly becomes close friends with his boss in the game. Honestly, I enjoyed their online relationship more than their real life one. For one, I don't really think Hashimoto is ready for a relationship. He's an extremely oblivious character, as in, he can't tell when someone likes him. This trait seems to be cute to many people, but I don't share that opinion. That sort of behavior comes off as immature to me. Shirasa is such a mature, good man, and shows tremendous patience with Hashimoto, clearly demonstrating that he loves him. Salted Salmon (their online friend) bluntly tells Hashimoto to step it up because when you date someone you should be more than just “best friends”. To be fair, Hashimoto was honest with Shirasa about his feelings (he isn't sure if he likes him or looks up to him), so I hope for Shirasa's sake that he figures it out soon. So yeah, I can't say I like the couple, or Hashimoto, but the online gaming itself and their gaming time was fun to read.
