Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru

The infidelity of Eita Kidou's parents not only made his family fall apart, but also made him skeptic of love. Having no intention to delve into romance, Eita devotes his entire high school life to his studies in order to become a doctor.

It did not take long for the beautiful and popular Masuzu Natsukawa to notice Eita's apathy. Tired of being the object of people's affection, she asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend, as she too feels disgusted at the notion of love. Eita, however, refuses—yet Masuzu has one trick left up her sleeve: Eita’s journal and threatening to post the embarrassing content online if he does not comply.

Now entangled in a fake romance with the most desired girl at school, Eita's life is turned upside down. Whether envied by his peers or receiving a confession, he must cope with his newfound relationship and all the troubles that come along with it.

Man I hope there's a season two, I wanna see Kaori Asoi in the show.

Not my usual type of review, I just want a season two because of the above reason, if you want my honest opinion apart from that, it's a run of the mill high school romance harem show. None of the characters are especially interesting or unique, due to all the trickery there's an excess of cringe comedy in this show, which is really bad for someone like me who suffers heavily from vicarious embarrassment, but otherwise it's pretty run of the mill "trying not to deal with a bunch of girls ... who like you and are always around you" kind of ordeal. It's not especially bad, hence the good rating, but it's not like it's unique or had enough of an effect on me for me to spend too long on this review.

If a sequel comes out with a lovely secretive and subdued tomboy girl, I'll absolutely be back for more because that stuff is incredible. However, this season is a pretty decent watch for anyone who likes the genre and has free time.

Mixed Feelings

Oh come on...

---Story---
'Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru' (Oreshura for short) is a romantic comedy harem anime about a small club formed to help female students become popular. This club, however, slowly shifts into a group of female students who want to date Eita, our main character.

---Art---
The art is very bright and cheerful. The animation is pleasant to watch and there was never anything I would classify as poor quality.

---Character---
Easily the best part of the series, and no doubt why you'll keep watching more. No character feels two-dimensional (ironic), and it's a blast watching them interact with Eita and with eachother throughout the ... series; by the end, you won't know which girl to root for.

---Enjoyment---
The show was fun and cute, however the few dramatic plot points felt very forced, almost as if they were trying to sway the audience's opinion on which character Eita should end up with. My opinion never changed, and that's the main problem when it comes to most harem anime: no matter how the series ends, you'll either have one party of individuals satisfied with the main character's final choice and leave every other party pissed off, or you end the series with the main character not making a choice and leave everyone unsatisfied. Given my review score, the "Oh come on..." at the top of this review, and lack of complaining up until this point, it should come as no surprise that I belong in the "pissed off at the final choice" group.

---Overall---
I honestly don't know what to say here; there's something in Oreshura for everybody (cute girls, romance, comedy, drama), but the combination of all of that might not be for everybody. It also helps your enjoyment if you root for the right girl from the get-go, which I certainly didn't do. Sounds like I need to go dig up some alternate ending fanfiction.

I went in expecting a light-hearted rom-com, but what I got was a messy, frustrating watch that left me feeling meh.

First off, the whole premise of Eita and Masuzu's "relationship" felt forced and fake from the start. I mean, come on, Masuzu basically strong-armed Eita into a fake relationship just because she was tired of being approached by guys all the time due to her looks. Like, I get it, that can be annoying, but did she have to drag Eita into it? And Eita, being the nice guy he is, got pulled into it without much say in the matter.

And don't even get me ... started on how Masuzu treated Eita for most of the series. I mean, I get it, she was trying to keep up the act, but still, she was pretty harsh on him at times. It felt like she didn't even consider his feelings until way later.

Meanwhile, Chiwa, Eita's childhood friend, was the only one who truly understood and supported him. But of course, the writers had to shaft her for the more "popular" girls, Fuyuumi and Natsukawa. It's like they thought we wouldn't notice how poorly they treated Chiwa's character.

And Eita? Ugh, that guy was all over the place. He couldn't make up his mind to save his life, and just ended up stringing along every girl in sight. I get it, he's 16 and probably experiencing love for the first time, but come on, make a decision already!

Overall, I'd give this anime a solid 4/10. It was just a disappointment from start to finish, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a good rom-com. Maybe if you're into love triangles and frustrating characters, but otherwise, skip it.
