Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku - Season 1 (2018)

Hanako and Kabakura get into a fight when they go out for drinks after work one day. Hanako starts to worry because she thought that dating Kabakura would be easy since they were both otaku. Narumi is reminded of her own relationship as she watches Hanako and Kabakura.

Hanako and Kabakura see Narumi having fun talking to a Starbocks barista and start to get suspicious. However, it turns out that the young guy she was talking to is actually Hirotaka's younger brother, Naoya Nifuji. Afterwards, they all end up going over to Hirotaka's house together.

It's the end of the year, and Christmas is coming up while everyone is busy. Hanako, who tells Narumi that last year's Christmas was the worst ever, isn't expecting much this year. Meanwhile, Kabakura is busy at work.

The group decides to get together to play an online game. However, while they wait inside the game for Hirotaka to join them, a rare enemy suddenly appears. Narumi, Hanako, and Kabakura aren't strong enough to beat the enemy themselves and find themselves in a tight spot when suddenly, a savior comes to the rescue.

Hirotaka asks Kabakura what he and Hanako are like when they're alone. Kabakura answers that they're the same as Hirotaka and Narumi, but Hirotaka doesn't fully believe him, and proposes a new idea to Narumi on the way home.

Hirotaka takes Narumi out on a date. However, Narumi has a hard time switching over to non-otaku mode. Hirotaka tells her that he wishes she acted more formally than normal, so they try going out on a date where they've made otaku things off-limits.

At work, Naoya notices a customer concentrating hard on a game. Naoya notices it's the same online game that he played before and tries talking to the customer, but the customer apologizes and gets up to leave.

Narumi goes over to Hirotaka's place on the last day of vacation while fantasizing about how Hirotaka would react when she shows up unannounced. However, when she rings the doorbell, no one answers.

Hanako tells Hirotaka and Narumi the story of how she and Taro met as captains of the high school volleyball teams and became a couple.
