I’ve enjoyed Hisone to Maso-tan, way more than i thought I would. I only decided to pick it up because it was an anime original and it was being animated and produce by Studio Bone, the studio behind the ever so popular Boku no Hero and many other greats. Man was I introduced to an unexpected cast of great and lovable characters, comedy that has me laughing to myself, a story with interests, and an underlying message about how women are treated in a male dominated workplace. Now with the last one I’m not sure if this is one of the themes of the show or me just reaching for straws but as the show progressed that was the feeling I got from some scenes.





One scene that didn’t make me think this a first but as more of the show went on, I saw it less as the typical anime pervert seen and more as a message was when the Vice Director showed up. He first introduce himself to Hisone, our MC, my rubbing up on her and grabbing on to her ass.The reason he was introduce, was to develop a new suit of Hisone and to do this, he had to feet up on her and invaded her personal space. This was seen as weird but even so, no one felt the need to say anything about it. Once finishing up the measurement, we have a scene where he has her dress up in weird and sexy, skin tight costume. The two people at the table judging the costume, one man and one woman had different reactions. While the woman looked serious and tried to keep a professional feel about her, the man only stared ogling at Hisone. Hisone uncomfortableness of the whole situation could be seen from her expression and her words.
