Like Dad of Light, Yuube wa Otanoshimi Deshita ne is a pretty blatant ad for an MMORPG which serves as a conduit for two people to learn to express their emotions. This time the MMORPG is Dragon Quest X and the emotion is romance here between the stunning Miyako (Honda Tsubasa) and the relentlessly herbivorous Takumi (Okayama Amane). Like Good Morning Call the plot has the two unexpectedly sharing a house together because, in this case, they were guildies in the game and both playing characters of opposite gender and assuming the other was the same gender as their character. Ha. Ha. But that matters for barely an episode before they find that they enjoy each other IRL, and the main boss fight for the series over all is the tired, tropey, ineffectual man-boy character of Takumi which is eventually defeated by virtually every other character in the series including Miyako's ex telling him that, no, she really does like him.

Tsubasa shines and Amane whines, and Terrace House's Kakei Miwako has a lovely turn as a comedic vixen playing Ayano, Miyako's best friend. The story is short and sweet, and ends on a kiss.
