Nice.

It's a fun shoujo with decent comedy so I'm looking forward to it. There's like over 20 chapters or something out for it so far and the romance is charming in a few ways.

You don't have to worry about that. They each have romantic interests and their progress isn't slow.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to this!!! I'm excited to see Naoe on TV! >____<

Btw, those who are here thinking it is yaoi (because of rainbow and 4 boys as main leads), no. It is not.

Omg yeees! I didn't expect this manga to get an anime, but yeeees! Looking forward to it so much! Time to catch up on the manga! Matsuoka as Nacchan is fitting I think, as long as he uses a higher tone. Uchiyama Kouki and Eguchi Takuya seem pretty good too. Though Zakki as Kei-chan is lol. Kayano Ai in the cast makes me really happy as well. Can't wait~ This series is so cute and charming.

I've heard good things about this manga, let's hope the anime does it justice. At the very least, I hope the budget is higher than Ookami Shoujo's budget was.

Exactly, it just resembles Kimi to Boku in many ways. I had wished for Kimi to Boku s3 too. I guess this shall suffice :)

A lot of oldschool people are working on this. Surprised to see Reed as the main studio since they are usually only subcontractors for animation.

Anyway, seems to be a harmless shoujo. Hurrah!

Yay, another forgettable shoujo anime. It's like producers realize that the demographic has some things that are worth adapting, but then choose all the wrong works. Not necessarily a surprise, since it's probably the safest investment.

Well, it's not THAT bad of a situation. I'll be honest though, I'm not too excited for this anime either. Give me Taiyou no Ie, Joou no Hana, Watashi ga Motete Dousunda or Last Game and I'll be a million times more excited. At first I thought it was me getting older but I still like reading manga from Ribon (aimed at 9-14 year olds lol). It's just recent titles in Betsufure, Betsuma and Margaret have not been that good imo.

Are we browsing the same website here? Both cute boys and cute girls get equal flak here on MAL. Just wait till the Boueibu season 2 thread shows up.

There you go, check it out yourself.

Sounds interesting enough for me to watch. Kind of reminds me of Kimi to Boku too so that's another plus.

Umm. There is only one cute guy here. So it's not your cute guys doing cute things. Actually, the other boys are pretty twisted one way or the other compared to one guy. And they are major teases.

Also, the supporting girls are cuter than the boys. It took me a while before I liked a certain supporting and annoying girl though (readers will know).

This however, is not your breakthrough shoujo manga. Other than AkaYona and Shirayuki, there hasn't been any great manga for this demography that has been adapted to anime in recent years. It's good (more inclined to say okay, but it has its fun moments) but not great. There were quite a number of excellent shoujo manga that never got adapted as their serialization ended.

This is also not Kimi to Boku. Kimi to Boku is a true gem in its genre which has very powerful way of executing the story as it is told. This doesn't have that. I would replace an adaptation of this with a Kimi to Boku S3 in a heartbeat.

Sorry if it sounds I am ranting. I never recovered from the fact that Orange would never get an anime adaptation.

About Orange, I know that feel sis.

And yeah, I read a little bit of the manga and it was no where near as good as Yona, Shirayuki or KamiHaji.

Btw, still waiting for Last Game.
