You can tell Alina truly loves her receptionist job. That and to avoid overtime LOL

This also seems like the first time she feels strange towards Jade. Could it be..? I mean, they have been close for awhile now since meeting each other. Jade sure is popular with other girls though.

Alina being scared of workaholics while she herself is one...
And she still had some much aggression killing those spiders you would expect her to put all her frustrations in fighting monsters but she still has more of them.
She also seems to be having some feelings for Jade judging by her reactions.

The score on this is criminally low man! Workaholics are scary 😂 what a hilarious episode and a nice chill one to ease into the weekend with after the action packed last couple.

Guild master doing all that talk about how grateful he is for Alina help and he still ain’t hiring new receptionists man gtfo lmao. Don’t nobody care about “thanks” if you don’t show it!

Lmao at all the receptionists fangirling over Jade and Alina’s like “who gaf, this is a daily event for me” you can see she’s getting jealous and a little disappointed he didn’t call out to her in that scene. She can try to fool herself, can’t fool me tho.

I think if Laila finds out Alina is executioner she might have a heart attack 😂 the love she has for executioner is insane. Who would’ve thought there’s a fanclub!

I guess overtime is just part of the culture of receptionists because even at receptionist school the professor is pushing that lmao. Shit broke Alina so much she was actually happy to see Jade for a chance. Hilarious end to the episode

Alina should really get a new title as the guild's troubleshooter lol. In the first place OT should not be neccessary. If there's more work than staff members then hire more staff. For a guildmaster doesn't feel like he does much with regards to organising budgets and staff levels does he. Jade being ultra popular with girls lol. Thats quite the training hall they were allocated too. That lecture sure shattered Alina's image of her idol for sure.

@Shingster
When she thought she can finally found the solution, but only to realize it's another heavy obstacle, 100 hours is like a training for One Punch Man, should call as One Work Girl.

It's seems like that Alina is starting to like Jade now. I think it's hilarious and cute how obsessed Laila is with the Executioner.

I enjoyed the second half of this episode! If only the animation was anywhere close to the voice acting...
At some point I started watching every scene twice: once to read the subtitles and then again without looking at the screen, so that I could appreciate the amazing voice acting!
Note I'm not only talking about Takahashi Rie. My praise goes to Koga Aoi and Serizawa Yū as well!
Also Takahashi Rie is in my favorite people now, 'cause yes.

Just quit already.

Next to all the dungeon crawling, dark god nonsense, and the Lululee murderer arc, Alina's overtime just seems unimportant. At the very least, it was funny when her idol turned out to be just another workaholic, and we also have the hook of Glasses Guy's heist being an inside job to keep things going. Meanwhile, Alina is riding the guildmaster's ass about not getting more receptionists... at the event where new receptionists are being trained. What?

An absolutely hilarious episode where almost every character has a funny scene/moment, probably my favorite so far :)
Also some good slice of life vibes and an interesting hint that Alina might start (maybe?) to feel something for Jade.

Overall, a welcome return to something light-hearted after the last couple couple of weeks.

Spider boss defeated. Classic management move to duck out of hiring more receptionists to fix an overtime problem.
Aina joins the training course for new receptionists, and finds the answer to her quest to eliminate overtime...
Anyone that has been on a corporate training course can empathise with her plight.

It's nice to get a bit more focus on that actual receptionist angle of the story. It kind of fell to the background at the start of the series.

Though damn, that instructor really did just walk up to Alina and say "Work will set you free"

Every show has its joke and every joke grows stale. Alina hating overtime and other people reacting to it has unfortunately, grown stale before the completion of the first season. I'm surprised this show is rated higher that the one with Thunder Pike and Clover.

@LucenProject Agree that overtime joke is not funny anymore. I'll finish this season and that's enough for me.
As for ratings of this and 'A-Rank party' - they are both very flawed shows, for me they are both 6/10. This one at least had some promise at the beginning so rating probably hasn't dropped much yet.

Alina is finally getting a bit jealous... owo
Even Jade himself.
Then, Lululee!!! 🤤
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I've been wondering what happened to that "more receptionists" promise lol

Also, hell nah bro, Lululee just had a 3 episode arc about being haunted by memories of his dead teammates, and now she is talking about ghosts and dead adventurers like if it was fun lmao
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~
Btw, cry about it.

Gee too bad there wasn't a simple solution to solving this problem, and she could make a deal with someone to implement it? Oh she did and he's not. <_< Or too bad there isn't another career she could easily do, oh wait there is? But she's not? <_<
Too bad she has become so unlikable I don't even care any more. Yeah that's what normal people want their birthday to be, all alone. This show might be somewhat enjoyable if the premise were even the tiniest bit amusing to begin with but it's not.

Alina didn't realize that she's on PTO. 3 days, 2 nights of PAID training???!!!??? with ZERO travel??? off site, not in the offices, meals AND room included!!! that is the kind of seminar cube-rats DREAM of! ;>

she has also never heard the saying, "Never meet your heroes... you'll be utterly disappointed." ;> hah! :D

ok. 100 hours of OT a month. if these guys are going off 'banker's hours' of 9-5pm/8h per day... 40h per week... 5 days a week... 2 days off per week... that's 12.5 eight-hour DAYS of OT a month. 12 days is 96h plus a half day at 4h. if you assume these guys have exactly 4 weeks every month of 7 days that's a 28-day month. 28 days x a 24h day... there are only 672h in their month. subtract the standard work schedule 40h week x 4 weeks =160h that leaves 572h to live a life. once again subtracting 8h of sleep everyday x 28d = 224h a month for sleep, leaving 572-224= 348h to live a life each month outside of sleeping and standard working scheduling. then the OT! 348-100=248h per month for a life. convert that back to 24h days? 10.3333 days a month. 10 DAYS & 8 HOURS! not spent sleeping or working a normal schedule, plus that 100h of OT a month.

eff that, the lecturer is fugging bugnuts.
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.

She wrote the best-seller "If you Want to be a Receptionist, Then Eat Beans."

Is that just a funny non-sequitur, or is there some additional nuance to that in Japan?

Receptionist Overtime is still a solid anime. But this episode seemed a bit lacking. It was interaction between Alina and Jade. His focus on her and efforts to win her over. Balanced by the lovely Executioner threatening to turn him into paste.
The last bit where despairing Alina says she feels a bit better for seeing him was sweet. Don't give up Jade!

Alina is this guilds MVP. Both behind the desk and in the field! Too bad the Guild Master seems to have stalled in his promise to add more receptionists to the guild. It even turned out to be a double whammy of disappointment when Rosetta Rhuberry was revealed to be a workaholic and didn't have a solution for Alina's overtime problem.

Overtime has the dark gods beat as this shows big bad. It's presence is insurmountable!

Rip bugs 💀 could think of much worse than spiders, but they aren't tough for her to handle.

Now her branch finally recognizes the work issue XD all for the birthday off. What a struggle. Suppose even receptionists have to have their training arc before they become peak employees.

She can have hugs for being scared of overtime lady 🫂
