Crazy Over His Fingers: Just the Two of Us in a Salon After Closing

Fumi is an assistant at a busy city salon, working toward becoming a full hairdresser while absorbing strict lessons from Sousuke, the shop's charismatic manager. Their dynamic is mostly professional, but every time he gets physically close she reacts with visible agitation. After hours, when the salon is empty, Sousuke asks Fumi to be his practice partner at the shampoo station. His casual touches and the feel of water on her skin set off strong responses that she can't easily explain. As they spend more time alone, the line between instruction and something more intimate starts to blur, and both characters begin to confront what their attraction might mean for their working relationship.

Released in 2020, the animated soap was directed by Mitsutaka Noshitani and created by Neco, featuring voice work by Yuri Yamaoka and Wataru Komada among others, bringing an intimate, character-driven script to a compact animated format.

It did not receive major industry awards, and there are no widely reported nominations from major festivals or award bodies. The series instead attracted attention through niche fan communities and discussion rather than mainstream accolades.

While it never became a broad cultural phenomenon, the show carved out a small niche among viewers who follow adult-oriented animation and serialized relationship dramas. Fans often discuss the salon setting and the show's willingness to focus on tactile, intimate scenes within a mundane workplace.

Critical and viewer response has been mixed, reflected in a modest average rating of 6.333 out of 10 from 18 votes. Supporters point to strong voice performances and a focused atmosphere, while critics raise concerns about how power imbalance and consent are handled. The series leans into themes of desire, boundaries, and professional mentorship, offering a look at how attraction can complicate everyday roles.
