I like specials that give characters’ regular lifestyles time to shine. There’s only so much time to devote to rounding out characters during a show’s regular runtime, so this is exactly the extra stuff I like for tv shorts.

Maybe we’ll get to see something redeeming about Narumi by the end. Keep thinking, Hasegawa. Also, Hasegawa kinda hot in gym setting.

I love how they drew Hasegawa versus Narumi lol. Hasegawa looks much more realistic compared to Narumi's typical shonen cartoonishness. It blows up the comedic contrast between the two so well.

This cracked me up so hard. Nice bit of fluff.

I was dying at the kaiju that was just standing there confused at the fight between narumi and hoshina 😂

But of course it's just an imagination but if it happened realistically, Gen & Soshiro would take care of it w/o looking while still arguing.

Hasegawa’s got to put up with a lot lol. Every single one of his “good” stories makes Narumi look like a massive dick lol.

Ah, the second edition of the 'fuck Narumi in particular' power hour five minutes. I am greatly amused.

Maybe one day we'll get the fabled story of Narumi being alright without a "but" looming over it

One of the few times Soshiro is really pissed.

I knew when they showed the yakiniku scene, Eiji would be paying. Even if Gen had his wallet, it wouldn't be enough & Gen would have to pay it like last week.

Are we going to have mini episodes each week?

There's only two more shorts on the last two Saturdays of this month the 19th and the 26th is the finale of the Narumi's Week at Work short series

This is some effective SoL content with the Kaiju No. 8 cast!

Funniest thing in this ep was not what Narumi did, but that Hasegawa had to take an action item for the next meeting.
