Kawaikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka?

As far as it goes, many boys, especially in their teenage years, want to have a girlfriend. Keiki Kiryuu is no exception. One eventful afternoon, his days of yearning for a lover seem to come to an end when he receives a love letter from an anonymous sender—along with a pair of white panties.

To determine the identity of his secret admirer, referred to as Cinderella, he proceeds to investigate several possible candidates including his senior Sayuki Tokihara, his underclassman Yuika Koga, and his classmate Mao Nanjou. However, as Keiki seeks to uncover who this mystery girl might be, he comes to know about the perverted fetishes hidden behind each candidate's innocent exteriors...

... #Review (short ver):

In a nutshell: Normie kind dense harem protag surrounded by degen loving girls, hunt for Cinderella that lost her panties.

+PROS

+Fun comedy aspect, MC has tough role of being the normie straight laced guy.
+Harem females have all some sort of kink yet are loyal girls
+Fanservice had great balance of service and being rather tame with that artstyle
+Pleasant OST & animation style
+Nevertheless lovable characters
+ Easy to digest, straightforward romcom with simple story & fun character stereotypes with fun twists

-CONS

-Weren't too happy how things were concluded, but that is usual with 1 season romcoms
-Wish for more romance progression

Review (comments/longer ver):

#Story

Honestly, somewhat unique take to romcoms from usual format. It's essentially romcom but the main twist is that rather the usual school life main guy being the all liked, kind, helping character surrounded by various stereotype girls who fall in love with main guy and surrounded drama and blossoming romance of that. Instead we get the only somewhat "Normal/normie" guy in the cast who is the main character, who still has the usual romcom MC traits, but instead the twist comes with the gathering love interests. All the girls in the story have some sort of perverted twist to them, in this case all of them have some sort of fetish or another. Which honestly, I found to be a really great twist. Because in the end, everyone has some sort of kink in them, as long sexual interest exists in our brain chemistry, so does the deviancy exist. ANYHOW.

The premise is great, presentation is for the most part quite enjoyable. It's still tame, straight-laced easy to digest romcom. You get daily occurrences with rather simple to follow story, with few twists there and then with spice of drama, romance and such. And for me I enjoyed the comedy aspect, loved the main character struggles being the normie in the group, was lots of fun.

Probably main issue with storytelling itself, well the usual with one season romcoms sadly. I weren't particularly fan of how romance element got wrapped up, it's the usual "read the LN, VN or Manga to know if anyone actually progresses into romantic relationship etc...". Thankfully some things got wrapped up, but with romance genre main joy is always seeing couple form and seeing their cute and loving relationship daily occurrences etc...

#Character

Well, partially I mentioned the character element in the "story" paragraph. But as I mentioned I loved the idea in ecchi romcom that all the characters had some sort of fetish, without the show being actual hentai. In romance it can be blossoming, funny and cute, silly which it was. And since with romance genre you know they choose one character they are loyal & loving to.

Won't go into characters too much to avoid spoilers. But in a nutshell we got various stereotypes of spectrum consisting of older sister types, cute small loud ones, tomboys, cute small quiet ones, cute sister, the get along best friend and all of them with their own twist. So a bit of everything.

And main fun of such cast is having the "normal/normie main character" who has to juggle inbetween of all those other characters whose "fetishes" he ends up discovering. And man.... him reacting and dealing with those characters was so much entertainment.

Other than that, there are few moments of character "self-realizations" that mainly affect their cute factor, not sure how much their actual character growth. Only few actual character "plot points" that affect character acting or direction of story/growth. (well... I think in this short romcom probably only one plot point that actually will affect the story)

#Art & Sound

Colorful and simple animation style, yet very pretty and pleasant. There isn't much else to add. I liked it. And as for music/OST, I noticed it for the most part and was pleasant enough which means It was okay. Wasn't particularly amazing nor bad.

#Enjoyment & Overall

Anyhow.... I personally enjoyed this romcom a lot. If there would been more romance to it and a bit better conclusion and progress into relationships I would have rated it even higher. But overall I found it funny, straightforward and it's twist made it a bit more interesting to watch.

But yes, don't expect too much depth or complexity out of this Anime. It's meant to be simple, straightforward romcom with ecchi element to it. If that's not your thing, you will not enjoy it.

Mixed Feelings

Keiki (Cakey) Kiryuu wants a girlfriend. He moans and whines to himself about how badly he wants a girlfriend.

One day he finds a love letter addressed to him with a pair of panties attached.
The culprits are narrowed down to 4 girls (including his younger sister). He crosses his sister off the list because there is no way it could possibly be her...yep the twist is obvious.

The three girls initially come off as being very normal highschool girls. But turns out they have very kinky fetishes.

Keiki is a strange character. He finally gets what he wants, he has these girls who are into him, but ... goes running scared just because they are a little bit kinky. And the fetishes aren't even that weird at all.
Its like "oh no this girl wants to spank me, oh no this girl wants me to spank her, oh no this girl wears a sexy maid costume and wants to role play with me, woe is me these sexy girls want to fck me". Sorry if i sound misogynistic but grow some balls and be a man. If a woman wants you to bend her over and smack her ass you do it.

Its just dumb to see this character contradict himself like that. Going from complaining about not having a girlfriend to running away from girls who want to be his girlfriend.
And its not like these are just random strangers. They are his female friends. He already knows them.

The anime is trying to present this as some kind of moral dilemma, but its not. These are not girls who are under some sort of spell who are forced to do anything against their will. But it is presented as if Keiki going through with it is like taking advantage of them. As if the anime doesn't understand the concept of consent.

The anime just isn't worth watching. It has nothing going for it. Its not ecchi enough for that to be a selling point either. And its not funny enough for a comedy.

This anime is just a boring cocktease.

Have you ever dreamed of getting a very cute girlfriend? but you can't do it because everyone seems like too perverse for you? then alas this anime is kinda just like you!  

Jokes aside. This anime almost sucks for me, but the mystery plot is what I like the most, solving it by getting with other girls but it's just thru pervert acts, it's like watching hentai stuff but no sex involves, it's okay, ecchi animes is known for buzzkill scenes. If you want to watch this anime because it's just ecchi go ahead but if you want with interesting "thicc" plot action, nope your ... gonna be disappointed so go now and just watch erotica anime if you want to watch 18+ action.

Lot of things is very undesirable especially the characters, all of them for me is forgettable and no redeeming quality.
The art is cool, the way the studio draws the characters is quite good, but the problem is animation itself, it's like watching low budget hentai, my brain is hurting while watching this slideshow, after the last episode I decided that this anime is not for me, I don't know how this anime get a greenlight kinda like a waste space of anime that some random studio pick-up and decide to give a go signal to create this awful slideshow. I'll rate this very low, sorry if you like this anime but if you currently reading this and haven't watch it, I'm just giving you a fair warning that's all.
