Hataraku Otona no Ren’ai Jijou THE ANIMATION – Episode 1 (RAW): Hataraku Otona no Ren'ai Jijou THE ANIMATION

After his boss remarks that change—even a little—would be beneficial, salaryman Oga Itsuki begins to act on the advice. That evening he meets a woman for the first time and the two share a physical relationship previously unimaginable in his repetitive work-eat-sleep cycle. The episode then unfolds as three linked adult vignettes featuring heroines from the original AKABEiSOFT3 visual novel. During late-night overtime, coworker Miyu Enoshima (an office lady with a notably full figure) initiates intimacy in the empty office; the encounter continues against a photocopier and later on an outdoor emergency stairwell visible from neighboring buildings. Next, Itsuki assists his longtime acquaintance Tomoe Naruto after she has drunk too much; while they cool off in a quiet night park she asks him to stay, leading to a kiss and further intimacy on a bench. Finally, at the café-and-bar Tama where Itsuki is a regular, he fills in for the owner and interacts with staff member Yurika Toba; a remote vibrator is involved while customers are present, after which the pair move to the staff room. The roughly 27-minute OVA, directed by Hideki Araki and voiced in part by the game’s original cast, presents these successive meetings as the means by which a working adult’s ordinary days begin to change.
