Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku Vol. 2 Manga | English Romantic Comedy Manga for Otaku Fans | Paperback by Fujita

Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku Vol. 2 continues the delightful, awkward romance between Narumi Momose and Hirotaka Nifuji as they navigate love, work, and their otaku lifestyles. In this second volume of the English paperback edition by Fujita, the stakes get real: Hirotaka decides he wants a “real date,” but with one major catch—they must pretend their otaku sides don’t exist. How far can they go without the hobbies that make them who they are?

Meanwhile, old relationships are revisited: Hanako and Tarou reflect on their high school days, exploring the beginnings of their relationship, giving readers a chance to see how past insecurities and crushes shaped who they are now. And Naoya gets more screen time, making new friends and showing another side outside the office and games.

Vol. 2 is rich with humor, heart, and real emotional depth. The themes of identity, acceptance, and the fear of being judged are front and center. The contrast between their public persona at work and their private passions creates both charming comedy and touching moments. The art remains crisp and expressive, bringing out small reactions and big feelings with equal weight.

This volume is perfect for fans of romantic comedies about adults, especially those who love stories about balancing professional lives with personal passions. It’s a great read if you enjoyed Wotakoi Vol. 1, Horimiya, Kaguya‑sama: Love Is War, or anything with a blend of work, awkward romance, and fandom culture.

Add Wotakoi Vol. 2 to your manga collection for more laughs, more feels, and more proof that love between otaku is just as messy, sweet, and real as any other kind.
