Synopsis

At 30 years old, Kiyoshi Adachi has never been in a relationship or even kissed anyone, the kind of guy who blends so completely into the background at work that life seems to forget he's there. As a reward for this achievement, the universe gives him the power to read minds through touch. Sounds useful, right? Except the first thing he discovers is that his handsome, popular coworker Kurosawa has a massive crush on him. Now every accidental brush of hands in the office becomes an onslaught of Kurosawa's earnest, sometimes embarrassingly romantic inner monologue, and Adachi has no idea what to do with any of it. This 12-episode TV series from Satelight takes a silly supernatural premise and uses it as a lens for something genuinely sweet: watching a guy with zero self-confidence slowly realize that maybe he's worth caring about, all while trying not to combust every time Kurosawa thinks something tender in his direction. The comedy lands because Adachi's internal panic is so relatable, and Kurosawa's sincerity cuts through what could easily be just a gag show. If you liked the gentle workplace warmth of Atarashii Joushi wa Dotennen or the slow-burn emotional honesty of Given, this hits a similar spot but with a more comedic angle. The mind-reading gimmick keeps things fresh and gives the show a way to explore vulnerability without forcing heavy drama. It's cozy, it's funny, and the leads have real chemistry. Worth your time if you want something light with actual heart underneath.
