That was a pretty cute OP, This feels like a cute and chill anime and it gave me some Komi-san vibes

Ayo is that Minase Inori couldn't get better than this, So a trauma made her like this poor Aharen I hope Raidou can communicate well with her

First impressions were cute and wholesome I expect more from this series even though there's yet to come.

That was a pretty decent first episode. Nothing crazy entertaining yet but I like the dynamic between the two main characters. Hopefully things don't become too repetitive

I was worried they were gonna be trying to overplay the romance angle in the first bit but the comedy delivery in the latter half won me back over even though theres a few spots i wish Raidou would be a bit more deadpan in reacting cause that felt funnier but that might just be something with the early parts of the manga. There are a ton of really funny chapters to chose from so I hope they adapt alot of the good ones

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Aharen is too cute, and the first episode gave me quite a few laughs. I didn't know what to think from just the cover of the show but I think this is gonna turn out to be a pretty cute show this season.

Aharen-san, we live in a society, right? Wtf happened to the rest of the world? When I sit in a class next time, I will sure be on the lookout for back-benchers showing PDA.

That said, I enjoyed Raidou trying out different ways to communicate with Aharen. At least that was taken somewhat seriously. While I enjoyed some of the comedy, I hope the dynamic between the two evolves otherwise the jokes might get stale like it did with Komi-San.

- take Komi-san can't Communicate
- replace the main girl with a loli
- remove everything that made it interesting, especially in terms of visual presentation
- here's Aharen-san

That was a pretty fun and pure comf premiere! Found my show to replace Slow Loop as my end of the week iyashikei anime. Really liking Aharen and Raido's chemistry already, looking forward to meet the other characters too.

Based on the first episode it's giving me quite a bit of Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge vibes. Going to power through the last months of my studies for the semester with the help of good old iyashikei!

I liked it, both of them are extreme weirdos. I mean what male MC doesn't get flustered as fuck when a top tier loli hugs him????

Aharen is basically Suya from Maoujou de Oyasumi just in a school setting. lol (and it's amazing she is being voiced by Minase Inori, she really fits characters like this extremely well)

The script is pretty much generic but at the same time some scenes (Raidou surrounded by plushies, lip reading practice with imouto, Aharen trying to feed Raidou) really made me smile.

Pretty funny series, love the dead pan MC reaction towards everything that Aharen does.

But Aharen legit has autism, like a severe one.

I remember I used to read the manga when it first started, fun stuff, still feels unreal that it's getting so much attention now lol.
Nice first episode, they nailed the feeling of the manga but I am not too sure about the comedic timing. Will keep up with it for sure.

Very good first episode! Reina is adorable, cute and quirky. Raidou is kind. Rooting for a good development of both the story and the relationship.

@Otaku_do_Bagaco , que bom que você resolveu assistir a série. Quando li a sinopse, tive a intuição que a Aharen-san seria, no mínimo, fofa. As minhas entranhas não erraram.

I'm getting vibes of Komi-San and My Senpai Is Annoying while watching the first episode of this series and that is a very good thing indeed! =)

Aharen is simply adorable. This loli kuudere certainly gave Raidou a tough time to figure out the best way to communicate with her and you have to appreciate his dedication with his many attempts to try and understand what she says to him.

While the comedy in this first episode is good, the skeletal conduction, which had Aharen communicating with Raidou by headbutting him randomly, made me burst out laughing! XD

Overall, this was a really cute and entertaining start. I already love the soft art style and the colour palette used, while the OP & ED songs are great, too.

Hilarious. I was cracking up throughout the whole thing. Especially the "bone conduction" bit.

Was not feeling this one. It had a few chuckle-worthy gags, but it was very unengaging for most of it. Felt like it took forever to finish because it’s essentially a collection of short stories, killing the pacing. It looks nice at least. I’ll give it 3 episodes and go from there.

it does feel like Komi san reskined as a loli and tadano he looks like tadano! nothing weong with that i like lolis. the first episode was really cute though.

hope it changes directions and is not litteraly komi san reskined.
or it does their thing in a new way.
it looked fun and ill stick around to see where it goes

Just as cute, wholesome, and goofy as I was hoping!

One of my most looked-forward-to anime in a while, so I'm glad they captured the same feeling as the manga. The VAs fit super well, too, which always makes me relieved. Excited to see more of Mizu-san's charm animated!
