Skip to Loafer

In order to pursue her dream of bringing positive changes to Japan, Mitsumi Iwakura leaves her countryside town to attend a prestigious high school in the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. As she has already mapped a clear life plan, she has absolute confidence that there will be zero mishaps from then onwards.

Despite her ambitious promise, the country girl ends up running late on the first day when she gets lost on her way to school. Fortunately, she meets a fellow first-year student, Sousuke Shima, who is in the same situation and offers to go with her. They eventually make it to school, but the misfortunes do not end there, as Mitsumi leaves an unfavorable first impression in front of her classmates.

Nevertheless, the class soon takes notice of her friendship with Sousuke despite their opposing personalities. Only time will tell whether Mitsumi will be able to forge fruitful relationships with her classmates, and she will certainly not be alone.

if one is to be really critical I guess it's not all that different, BUT if you're looking for sth to restore your will to live, this is it (no cap)(speaking from experience). there's no forced drama, no forced romance, nor purposefully hateful characters, they explore stereotypical (east asian/ japanese) high school tropes in a refreshing way that warms your dead body from the inside and makes you anticipate the flowers a bit more. surprisingly with this take it's not boring either, whereas there's no crazy drama or dense plot, we uncover our mcs and get a glimpse of our side characters' backstories through lighthearted ... but interesting events.

Basically, no surface-level characters. And the colouring with everything else just screams 'youth' in such a lovely way.

i always thought high school romance and slice of life are just gonna be the same plot and same conflicts same ways of brushing things off just to prop up the romace aspect but this THISSSSS. especially with the the character who we can obviously assume would be the third person pick me girl in any other drama/anime, I really like how they decided to write that character in a realistic way as a human but also as a teenager.

and the opening!!! is so cute!!!

Mixed Feelings

The pace is very slice-of-lifey, so it's hard to get absorbed into it if you don't have the best attention span. That said, the characters make it worth-while since they're unique and realistic. I haven't really seen some of the conflicts before portrayed in anime in the same way, and it feels like a lot of this show can be summed up as "not everyone is as they appear." A lot of the more trope-like characters often have hidden details making them more complex. The plot is pretty standard for a slice-of-life school anime, but the characters push this anime to an 8 for me.

Thought it was supposed to be a romance. I was extremely bored the whole show. Not sure why I even finished it tbh.
I know there have been alot of good reviews about it, I think people enjoyed the slice of life and the character development aspect, but that still was absent for me personally and I was more or less just waiting for something romance-related, which never came.
There was I think one part where it was hinted at the possibility between the two main characters but it was so short lived. So if you like romance stuff, this aint for you.
