Overview: A Secret Office Romance#
I Have a Crush at Work (also known as Can You Keep a Secret? or Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu) is a charming romance that explores the tension of workplace attraction. The story follows Yui Mitsuya and Masugu Tateishi, two coworkers who are deeply into each other. While Yui is giddy over Masugu’s humble and helpful nature, Masugu is completely smitten by Yui’s cuteness.
The central conflict is simple yet sweet: they are attempting to keep their burgeoning relationship a secret to avoid any professional awkwardness. However, as they struggle to keep their hands off each other, the risk of their secret being exposed grows with every single day at the office.
If you’re looking to dive into this story, you can watch the anime on Prime Video.
Is I Have a Crush at Work Finished?#
Whether you will get a satisfying conclusion depends on how far you are willing to go with the series. The anime adaptation premiered in January 2025, but the source material—the manga—is fully complete. The manga was serialized from March 2019 through January 2023.
Because the source material has already reached its end, readers who move from the anime to the manga are guaranteed a definitive conclusion to Yui and Masugu’s office romance. If you prefer not to wait for potential future anime seasons, you can buy the manga to see how their story wraps up.
Who Is This Anime For?#
This series is best suited for fans of the romance genre, specifically those who enjoy “slow-burn” tensions and workplace settings. The appeal lies in the adorable dynamic between the two leads—specifically the contrast between Masugu’s humble attitude and Yui’s cuteness.
If you enjoy stories about secret dating, the anxiety of getting caught, and heartwarming character interactions, this is a great choice for you. While you’re enjoying the series, you might also want to pick up some merchandise to celebrate your favorite couple.
