I love how ridiculously straight they're playing this regardless of all the obvious inappropriate anime tropes that are immediately evoked at the thought of a sexy young man fist-fighting with the "Senpai" a fantasy tentacled creature (who he kind of owns) for a love that never can be...

What is @Playerking up to that I am left to copy and paste the summary & cast list, that too 2 days late?!

As Hidoide was shopping with its partner Kojiro, it ran into its senior from its swarm, which also happened to be its first love. At the moment, Kojiro is the only one for Hidoide, but its senior still ends up confessing its love for it. Kojiro decides to battle the senior over Hidoide.

I'm glad to see that Sekine is writing this - I thought she did a good job with the Mimikyu episode.
