Synopsis

Yuu Izumi leads a high school life filled with one mishap after another. No matter how improbable the situation, unfortunate events strike him at every turn. In possession of such terrible luck, Izumi enters his second year with a single wish in mind—to spend more time with his affectionate girlfriend, Micchon Shikimori.

Cute, athletic, and caring, Shikimori is immensely popular at their school. But since they began dating a year ago, Izumi has witnessed a surprising side to his otherwise adorable girlfriend: when the need arises, she turns incredibly cool! His misfortunes are easily avoided when she is there to protect him with an awe-inspiring look on her face. Charming in every way, she never ceases to make his heart skip a beat. Unfortunate as he may be, Izumi is sure to see his days of bad luck end thanks to the cute yet cool Shikimori.

Background

Due to the airing of urgent special news bulletins regarding the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano eruption on January 15, 2022, the previous series that was occupying the same time slot required a scheduling adjustment. Thus, Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san's own TV broadcast premiere was delayed by one week from April 2, 2022 to April 9, 2022.

The series was released on Blu-ray and DVD in six volumes from June 29, 2022 to November 30, 2022.

This anime has made it to the top of my list to recommend to romance/slice of life newcomers!
Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie is such a sweet anime with only currently 12 episodes about a couple and their friends enjoying high school. But what sets this particular romance anime apart is that they are already dating starting from the first episode. From all the romance anime I've watched I do love the story of how a couple gets together and seeing the different ways they woo each other. But it is so refreshing when the story starts out with them already together and you just get ...

Mixed Feelings

As an avid lover of slice-of-life and romance anime, Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san is one of those shows where it's just alright. I don't have anything critical to say about it because it's ignorant to expect too much from these types of shows. But I'll give my honest thoughts on it.

The show revolves around Izumi, our protagonist (???) or the main male lead character. His character is grounded in the super unlucky trope, and it's ruining my life type of thing. He's very passive for most of the show and doesn't really have ...

English.
A super toxic love that never advances, I hate this series like they have no idea, not only because the protagonist is the worst, also because I will never understand the point of this series, they show us a guy with very bad luck and his girlfriend according to super beautiful that she fell in love with him suddenly and wanted him to be her boyfriend. Not only is the idea the most stupid thing I've ever seen, but I also don't find a virtue in the guy at first glance, besides being a very good person, most romance series present us with the problem ... and then gradually teach us how to the secondary characters of the series and becoming fond of them, most of the romance series in the same series show us how they fell in love and it creates a really beautiful dynamic where we see how they grow fond of each other and we of the same time of them. This is not the case here, the relationship is already established and we have to assume that they love each other because they tell us, not because we see it.
The protagonist is the worst, not only because he always says he wants to be better so that his girlfriend needs him and not hers, but at the end of the series that never happens and he's just a stupidly clumsy person without any kind of charisma, but he is also a first-class useless who at no time empathizes with him.
The girl is such for which with the protagonist, she is a kind tough girl who is obsessed with the protagonist in such a way that it is a bit uncomfortable, she protects him from everything and for me it is something very strange, it seems that the only thing that matters about him it can protect you.
The plot of each chapter is simple, the protagonist can't do something and the girl helps him end of the chapter (that's how mediocre the plot is).
I do not recommend it, do not watch it and please do not waste your time here, there are much better romance series that are worth much more than this rubbish.

Español.
Un amor super tóxico que nunca avanza, odie está serie como no tienen idea, no solo porque el protagonista es de lo peor también porque nunca entenderé el punto de que exista está serie, nos muestran un tipo con muy mala suerte y su novia según super guapa que se enamoro de él de repente y quiso que fuera su novio. No solo la idea es de lo mas estupido que he visto sino que también el tipo no le encuentro una virtud a simple vista ademas de ser muy buena persona, la mayoría de series de romance nos plantean el problema para luego enseñarnos de poco a poco a los personajes secundarios de la serie e irnos encariñando de estos, la mayor parte de series de romance en la misma serie nos muestran como se enamoraron y crea una dinámica la verdad bastante bonita en donde vemos como se van encariñando el uno al otro y nosotros al mismo tiempo de ellos. Aquí no es así aquí ya esta hecha la relación y tenemos que suponer que se quieren porque nos lo dicen no porque lo vemos.
El protagonista es de lo peor no solo por el hecho que siempre dice que quiere ser mejor para que su novia lo necesite y no él de ella, que al final de la serie nunca pasa eso y solo es una persona estúpidamente torpe sin ningún tipo de carisma sino que también es un inútil de primera que en ningún momento empatice con él.
La chica es tal para cual con el protagonista, es una chica dura amable que está obsesionada con el protagonista de tal forma que es un poco incomodo, lo protege de todo y para mi es algo muy raro parece que lo único que le importa de el es que lo puede proteger.
La trama de cada capitulo es sencilla, el protagonista no puede hacer algo y la chica le ayuda fin del capitulo (así de mediocre es la trama).
No la recomiendo, no la vean y por favor no malgasten su tiempo aquí, hay muchas mejores series de romance que valen muchísimo mas la pena que está basura.
