Synopsis

At the age of 15, Hana Tabata has already made peace with the idea of never experiencing an unforgettable high school romance. Although she likes shoujo manga, flowers, and anything cute, Tabata considers herself a mere background character; she is a little bit chubby, with a round face, glasses, and freckles—all things that would make her conventionally unattractive. But when Tabata accidentally befriends Yousuke Ueno, a warm and charming classmate, things start to change. While she grapples with conflicting feelings about her unexpected new relationship with Ueno, Tabata has yet to realize that the love story she has been dreaming of has already begun.

Preliminary (6/13 eps)
April Showers Bring May Flowers is a charming slice-of-life anime that anyone can enjoy. The character designs and personalities are simple and relatable, which lets the story take center stage — and that’s really what matters most.

I’m personally loving the show. It feels refreshingly realistic — more like how a normal romance unfolds in real life. That’s rare in anime these days, where characters often come with over-the-top powers, larger-than-life personalities, or wild hairstyles.

We’re already six episodes in, and I genuinely think it’s worth giving a chance — even with a modest rating of 6.69 from 2,212 users. Plus, the opening theme is an absolute ...

Preliminary (7/13 eps)
I've waited a while before reviewing just to get a better idea of the series and FINALLY it's time for me to get my words out there a little!
But so far whilst this is still airing, I just want to say, this is absolutely adorable?!

*Skip this para if needed. Will give a some background of myself in relation to shoujo genres.*
I think I've seen enough shoujo rom-coms whereby the females are always the ones who has some sort of complex/insecurity about themselves cause that's just how shoujo's work. Now, I'm coming here with that in mind, watching this high school girl who claims to ...

Preliminary (7/13 eps)
I understand why it doesn't have more reviews, people are tired of these types of stories that only idealize romantic relationships with characters with flat development that are just stereotypes of this type of supposedly romantic stories, the issues that you want to raise with the characters only remain superficial and it is evident that the protagonists will stay together but the transition to get to that point is boring without surprise and the author will also put secondary problems that you will not care about since you will not relate to the secondary characters, how can it have so many sponsors and that this ...
