Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Senpai no Hanashi - Episode 3 - Tiny and Cute Shiori Senpai

Confirmation. Shinozaki thought Shiori was tiny and cute from the moment he met her.

Who’s Akina? Oh! It’s Mr. Manager! Ha! Look at these guys trying to stir tea in the office. I’d remember Shiori Katase’s name too, you know! Shinozaki’s buddy Yuusuke is a total bro putting Tuesday and the Weekend in an NTR scenario! Look at Mr. Manager dishing the gossip about Shiori to Shinozaki. She jumped up and down in excitement for her first junior colleague. Hahaha! Shiori was already at the restaurant in the next booth. Expect puns and references for Shinozaki’s given name Takuma. Then he met Shiori. So tiny! So cute! But what is that glaring face all about? Oh. We know it will be an innocent, heartwarming reason, so wait for the explanation. Ah. She was waiting for her chance to act like a dependable senior. Ohoho! Look at how much Shiori enjoyed being called “Senpai.” Mr. Manager picked up “undertones” since the beginning.

The eye-catchers show professional and casual versions of Shiori. I love that smug OL-chan vibe.

There we go! The origin of the cute plushies in the end credits came from a crane game. A cat wears a pink rabbit hoodie, and a black dog wears a bear hoodie. Yay! Shiori said the My Tiny Senpai episode title. And yes. Shiori looks like a cute kitten wearing a cuter pink bunny hoodie. All the time! Takuma is more like a chicken instead of a bear-hoodie-wearing black puppy. He even knew he should call Shiori “cute” right then. Oh well. It’s only the third episode. Hot take alert: the plushie is only “90% Shinozaki.”

Okay, Shinozaki can be a 100% hero by catching those plushies! Foreshadowing: Shinozaki’s sister was a fan of Meowtaro, making him an older sis-con. This is not a shounen show, Shinozaki, so no one needs to “protect smiles.” But I understand the sentiment. Pace yourself, Shinozaki. You only have 300 chances on Shiori’s budget. Adorable! The black puppy didn’t want to be separated from the pink kitten. Hoho. The black puppy needs a name: Takuma! Hey, that’s Shinozaki’s name! But it was supposed to be a pun on “bear” (熊, くま, kuma). No hesitation for Shiori’s name on the pink bunny kitten.

Uh oh. Angry Designer-senpai. An unpaid overtime after-hours meeting. I thought Sunpick was not a “black company” in My Tiny Senpai. Eh?! Meowtaro is inside a dating sim as an ikemen. Why not? Fujoshi need more otomege. Designer-senpai revealed many things about her “weird hobbies.” Shiori is not a fan of ikemen-Meowtaro. Aiko-senpai needs romantic anecdotes for her game routes because she has none herself. Uh. Neither do Chinatsu, Shinozaki, and Shiori! Wait a minute. Chinatsu had a Prince Charming story on the day of her job interview at Sunpick. She had broken the heel of her shoe, and a handsome man glued it back together for her. And he was on the interview panel too! Unfortunately, that dreamboat was Mr. Manager, so all those impressions flew off. So cynical, “Fireworks are pretty because you see them from a distance.”

Ahaha! Shiori put a tie on “Takuma.” Oh, man. I’m dying. Uh oh. Shiori can’t undress in front of “Takuma.” Whoa. Shower fanservice! And plushie love scene! Woohoo! Now we know where Shiori’s pajamas come from in the end credits. A plushie love connection!
