Ojisan to Marshmallow

Best rom-com anime

Iori Wakabayashi and Habahiro Hige are co-workers and Wakabayashi is very attracted to Hige just like any other office romance. However, what people fail to accept is how can a 24 year old woman get attracted towards Hige, an overweight middle aged man. Hige is a super sweet and naïve person who never understands her feelings no matter how much she tries to lure him close to her with Marshmallows. Marshmallows! Why? Oh because Hige loves Marshmallows. The factor of interest in this anime is that Hige is nowhere around a traditional good looking anime protagonist but still Wakabayashi is head over heels for him.
