KimiKiss: Pure Rouge stood out primarily due to the pacing and romance narrative. Unlike typical harem-romance tropes, it avoided clichés like summer beach retreats, opting instead for a more realistic setting. This departure from the norm minimized predictable misunderstandings, allowing the show to focus on authentic slice-of-life moments, resulting in well-rounded characters and a compelling storyline.

However, it isn't flawless, particularly in its lead-up to the ending. While it tied up loose ends neatly, I found the character developments leading to the conclusion somewhat jarring.

In essence, this is a quite classic romantic anime. What makes it a bit better than other animes of the genre is the larger than usual cast of characters, and the fact that it actual features two lead pairs.

The characters themselves are also quite classic, but a few twists here and there prevents them from being too predictable.

The anime also has the usual flaws of the genre: too many "Oh, it's nothing" lines at times, characters conveniently catching deadly colds from rain, etc.

Still, the double pair of leads saves the show, perhaps because it gives it enough density to be entertaining.

Kimikiss in One Sentence (one of the most shitest romance show ever) which supposed to be an anime filled with romance and drama, but it ends up being a confusing and disappointing jumble. Right from the start, the series can’t decide what it really wants to be, juggling too many love triangles and character stories, which eventually causes it to fall apart.

A show with 24 episodes which you think is about romance, within a few episodes you realize why 24 episodes, for a garbage with makes no sense

story - The plot in this tale is a mess. There are too ...
