Geeks, Gyarus and Gamers

Yuube wa Otanoshimi Deshita ne is a short and sweet little drama of a girl RPG Gamer named Powder and a guy player named Goro who become best friends while playing Dragon Quest X online, though they'e never met.
It is when Goro needs a place to stay and Pow invites Goro to stay at his apartment and they meet face to face for the first time, that  they discover that Goro is a yankee-type girl named Miyako (Tsubasa Honda) and the girl is a shy and introverted guy named Takumi (Amane Okayama).

Though Takumi is stunned at the prospect of Goro being a girl and furthermore LIVING with him, Miyako takes it in stride, and if Takumi can get used to his kind online partner Goro as this loud, outspoken gyaru, this might be the start of a beautiful friendship!
Fairly predictable storyline but at 6 episodes long you can’t go wrong and it’s been a fun ride!
PS: Bonus points to the show for having pretty Sei Ashina as Miyako's supervisor Kuriyama. Nice to see her in every episode if only for a moment!
PS: I don’t know how but somehow I mixed up this drama with “Kono Koi wa Tsumi Na No Ka” and I thought the main girl was going to be played by AKB48 actress Yuka Oshima.So I’m watching the drama and I’m like, “That girl isn’t Yuka…in fact, it looks like Tsubasa Honda!” And indeed it was! LOL!
