“I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time” – Episode 10 Review

A Relatable Fantasy Comedy with a Twist

If you’ve ever worked a job where overtime felt like a never-ending nightmare, I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time (or Girumasu for short) is the anime for you. The show follows Alina Clover, a receptionist at an adventurers’ guild who just wants to leave work on time. But when incompetent adventurers keep failing their quests, she takes matters into her own hands—literally—by soloing bosses to avoid paperwork piling up.

Episode 10 continues this hilarious yet oddly relatable premise, blending fantasy, action, and workplace comedy in a way that’s both fresh and entertaining.

The Plot So Far

By Episode 10, Alina’s secret identity as the mysterious “Executioner” has been exposed to a few key characters, including the guild master, Glen Garia. The previous episodes have seen her reluctantly teaming up with the Silver Sword adventuring party, led by the persistent Jade, who’s clearly smitten with her.

In this episode, the stakes rise as Alina faces a new challenge: balancing her receptionist duties with the growing expectations of her combat prowess. Fans have been eagerly waiting to see how her dual life unfolds, and Episode 10 doesn’t disappoint.

Fan Reactions & Highlights

1. “Finally, Some Payoff!”
   Many fans on MyAnimeList praised Episode 10 for delivering on the buildup from earlier episodes. One user noted:

   “Alina’s character arc is finally getting some depth. She’s not just a receptionist who hates overtime—she’s someone who’s running from her past as a would-be adventurer. The emotional weight in this episode hit hard.”

2. The Jade-Alina Dynamic
   Jade’s attempts to recruit Alina into his party have been a recurring joke, but Episode 10 adds a layer of sincerity to their interactions. A Reddit user commented:

   “Jade’s crush on Alina is adorable, but what’s even better is how she keeps shutting him down while low-key respecting his persistence. Their banter is gold.”

3. Action & Animation
   The fight scenes in Girumasu have been a point of contention—some fans love the over-the-top action, while others find it inconsistent. Episode 10’s boss battle, however, seems to have won over skeptics. One fan wrote:

   “The animation team clearly saved their budget for this fight. Alina’s hammer swings felt weighty, and the choreography was crisp. Finally, a battle that does her OP-ness justice!”

4. The Overtime Struggle
   The show’s central joke—Alina’s desperate attempts to avoid overtime—still resonates with viewers. A Twitter user joked:

   “Alina is all of us when the boss says, ‘Just one more thing before you leave.’ Except she can literally smash her problems away. Goals.”

What Works (And What Doesn’t)

• Pros:
• Unique Premise: A fantasy world where the protagonist’s biggest enemy isn’t a demon lord but overtime? Genius.
• Character Growth: Alina’s backstory adds emotional depth to her otherwise comedic role.

• Visuals: The art style is vibrant, and the animation shines in key moments.

• Cons:

• Pacing Issues: Some fans feel the show occasionally drags out gags or rushes plot points.
• Predictability: The “secret identity” trope isn’t groundbreaking, though the workplace twist keeps it fresh.

Final Verdict

Episode 10 of Girumasu is a strong entry in a series that’s steadily winning over fans. It balances humor, action, and character development while staying true to its quirky premise. If you’re looking for a fantasy anime that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still delivers heartfelt moments—this is a must-watch.

Rating: 8.5/10 – A fun, relatable, and visually appealing ride. Now, if only we could all solo our work problems like Alina.

Title: “Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga, Zangyou wa Iya nano de Boss o Solo Toubatsu Shiyou to Omoimasu – Season 1, Episode 10: A Receptionist’s Rage and a Tank’s Abs”

Introduction
If there’s one thing Guild no Uketsukejou Desu ga has taught us, it’s that Alina Clover, the guild receptionist with a no-nonsense attitude toward overtime, is not someone you want to mess with. Episode 10, titled “A Receptionist’s Rage and a Tank’s Abs” (okay, I made that up, but it fits), delivers another explosive chapter where Alina’s secret identity teeters on the edge of exposure, and Jade, the lovable tank of the Silver Swords, gets a little too close to death for comfort.

Fans have been buzzing about this episode, and for good reason. It’s packed with action, emotional beats, and just the right amount of absurdity that makes this show so addictive. Let’s dive into why this episode stands out—and why some fans are still divided on certain aspects.

The Plot: Saving Jade (and His Abs)
The episode picks up with Jade and his party in dire straits against a Dark God—a bio-weapon from ancient times with the power to steal skills and, apparently, ruin everyone’s day. Jade, ever the self-sacrificing tank, holds the line while urging his teammates to flee. But, of course, things go south fast, and by the time Alina arrives, Jade is barely clinging to life (though, as one fan hilariously pointed out, his abs are still chef’s kiss).

Alina, fueled by rage and a desire to clock out on time, unleashes her full power, turning the tide of battle in a spectacle that fans are calling her “Super Saiyan moment.” The fight is brutal, flashy, and over way too soon for some—but that’s Alina for you. No monologues, no hesitation, just pure, unadulterated violence.

Fan Reactions: The Good, the Bad, and the Thirsty
1. The Good
– Alina’s Power-Up: Fans loved seeing Alina go all out. One commenter described her golden aura as “hyper-mega with violet lightning,” and honestly, same. It’s the kind of over-the-top action that makes anime so fun.
– Jade’s Heroism: Jade’s near-death moment had fans clutching their pearls. His selflessness and the way he looked after getting wrecked (yes, even bloody and torn up) earned him major points. As one fan put it: “Jade is so hot!! Them abs too.”
– The Ship Sails: The Alina x Jade dynamic is heating up. From Jade’s last thoughts (“I wish I could’ve looked at her more”) to Alina’s uncharacteristic concern for him, fans are eating it up.

1. The Bad
2. Pacing Issues: Some fans felt the fight was rushed. The Dark God, hyped up as a major threat, gets taken down in one episode, leaving viewers wondering if the stakes were undercut.

3. Character Decisions: The healer girl’s refusal to escape (despite being powerless) annoyed a lot of fans. One even called her “a waste of food and air.” Ouch.

4. The Thirsty

5. Let’s be real: Jade’s near-death scene had people feeling things. One fan admitted, “Jade in near-death state arouses me,” while another joked about his “bloody abs.” The internet is a wild place.

Themes and Takeaways
This episode isn’t just about flashy fights (though they’re a big part of it). It’s about Alina’s growing attachment to Jade and his party—something she’d never admit. Her usual “I hate overtime” schtick takes a backseat as she risks her cover to save them. It’s a subtle but significant shift in her character.

The lore also expands slightly, teasing more Dark Gods and ancient secrets. While some fans are skeptical about where the story goes next, others are excited for the potential.

Final Verdict
Episode 10 is a rollercoaster of emotions, action, and yes, abs. It’s not perfect—some pacing issues and questionable character choices hold it back—but it’s undeniably entertaining. Whether you’re here for the fights, the romance, or just Jade’s ridiculous durability, this episode delivers.

As one fan perfectly summed it up: “Peak anime, best tsundere of the season! Less goo.”

Rating: 4.5/5 (because no one messes with Alina’s schedule and gets away with it.)
