Koi to Yobu ni wa Kimochi Warui

People fall in love in the most mysterious of ways. This statement seems to be especially true for the affluent genius playboy Ryou Amakusa. When he nearly falls off the stairs one rainy morning, a girl named Ichika Arima saves him. As if by fate, Ryou encounters Ichika again later that night; she happens to be the best friend of his little sister, Rio.

Wanting to "thank" her, Ryou attempts to woo Ichika by employing his usual flirtatious tactics only to be immediately shot down, his target creeped out by his behavior. Rather than being discouraged, Ryou instead becomes more enthralled by her, and he begins to do everything he can to steal Ichika's heart despite receiving disgusted reactions each time. However, as time passes by, will Ichika remain repulsed by Ryou's creepy yet dedicated advances?

💕Who said this anime wasn't good it's sweet and awesome i really love it 💕the hearts were pretty too ❣️

I especially love the inbetween tune but i can't get it's ost online.

I know many people don't watch this anime because of age gap , but nowadays many people have an age gap of 10-15 years if the character love eachother, their parents agree, their friends so who are we to judge them i love them ☺️🫶🏻

I like both the opening and ending songs they are so perfect for them .

Both the love interest of both characters were awesome , it was very difficult to ... not choose them , and choose eachother.

The character were enjoyable

You will definitely enjoy the story if you love romance anime.

Mixed Feelings

This series is my feel-good go to if only for the opening and closing music. Linaria is a song I haven't removed from my music playlist since I first heard it~

I first read the manga before watching the anime where I finished the series, and the art style is mostly faithful. The animation doesn't flow as smoothly as I hoped for a shoujo series, and the voices don't exactly match the characters except maybe the FL and her best friend. Combined with the age gap story, this anime isn't for everyone. However, the wholesome ending and -- I must reiterate -- the music earns this ... series a place on my favourites.

I still wonder why I watched it. I usually drop stuff I don’t like and this was quite bad. I suppose I had two unconscious reasons. The first one was that I hoped it would get better (though that was naive of me) and the second one was pure curiosity. I wanted to see how bad it could get. There were some things I enjoyed about it, and I liked some characters occasionally. However, I have a problem with the entire scope of the show. Some viewers might see grooming here and they won’t be wrong. Though love happens at all ages, it was creepy ... to watch an almost 30 year old falling in love with a 17 year old high school girl only because she told him he’s creepy. The entire plot was flawed and creepy, even for an anime. But it wasn’t just that. After all, it’s fiction, you take it or leave it, but it was also quite poorly executed. The characters were insufficiently portrayed and their motives were often under-explained (or shabbily done so, their credibility was close to zero). I didn’t enjoy watching it, I don’t think it gives a good example in many ways and it’s also rather unskillfully produced.
