Romance stories are a dime a dozen, inflicted with the ever-so-overdone tropes of rom-coms alike, that hearken one to just say that "if you've seen one, you've seen them all", and that is a fact wherever one goes. So then, what makes mangaka Nene Yukimori's Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai a.k.a Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible, which the manga has recently seen its "much-needed" closure, stand out among the rest of the rom-com pack?

I'm going to tell a harsh truth here: people come in all kinds of conditions, the obvious, the not-so-obvious, you name it, you probably missed out on some things that just ...

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, since most reviewers on here like the go on and on with word dribble. The main character is the most boring, soulless, spineless, and uninteresting character you'll ever see. Even his damn voice is boring. Someone will of course say "hurrr but thats how he's supposed to be!" That does not make it any less terrible. I cannot stand this guy, there is genuinely nothing close to interesting or entertaining or relatable about this guy, He is watching paint dry personified. I'm not sure if this is some self insert bullshit or not, but I have ...

I’m getting diabetes with each eps. This is such a heartwarming series to watch afters stressful days of work. The story is only about kubo & shiraishi’s day-to-day interactions at school and outside of school but it got many sweet moments (with some really sweet one) and i totally loved it, it’s very cute and wholesome. Kubo’s teasing tone (good job kana hana!) and pouting face are such a bliss. It’s really recommended if you’re looking for takagi-kind of anime (with less teasing and more fuwa” moment) or any light-hearted romance. It’s sad that the production will be delayed after eps 7, but let’s just ...

Sometimes the word for a show like this can be just one word. "Fine". Sometimes it's nice to have something fine. There are lots of wholesome romantic comedies that all feel the same and this one rose a bit above the chaff of the others. For me, it's the art style, the music, and the two leads' chemistry. But still, by the end, it runs its course like every other and maybe overstays its welcome. Oddly enough the delay in production gave me just enough time to want to return to it. Halfway through you think "can you get much else new from these characters? ...

This show should be called "The ultimate delusion" or "The perfect trap for an otaku".

This is a story of a dude with only saving is that he is kinda nice... that's it. He is a shy dude, that isn't good looking, he isn't smart, he isn't athletic, he isn't funny and he has no personality... plus he pushes away the only girl that talks to him besides his family. Pretty NEAT. For some reason the most beautiful and perfect girl he has ever knew is madly in love with him and is agressive AF... despite being constantly being pushed away by the MC saying always ...

The story revolves around the lives of two high school students who seem to fade into the background.

Kubo is a cheerful and enchanting girl who goes against the norm by choosing to recognize the value in those easily overlooked. Thus begins their unique friendship, and we explore the daily lives of these two characters who are often thrown into various amusing and heartwarming situations.

This predictable anime full of sweetness but also frustration. While the anime showcases adorable interactions between its two protagonists, the romance element leaves much to be desired. The lack of significant romantic development throughout the season can be a letdown for those seeking for deeper connections between the characters.

And speaking of the characters, Kubo's portrayal feels one-dimensional, lacking the depth needed to make her truly stand out. Her sole purpose seems to revolve around following Shiraishi, leaving her with little individuality or distinct traits. Similarly, Shiraishi's character seems to be dull and boring, which stays consistent and unchanging from start of finish. Additionally, his ...

I really tried my best to give this show a chance watch through 4 episodes but in turn I got maybe one of the blandest shows this season.

The main problem right off the bat are the 2 main characters which have absolutely 0 chemistry outside the fabricated "romance" sections. Why do I say that? Let's talk about the leads.

Shiraishi is a good guy and "invisible". Oh not to forget for some reason he is also as dense as a brick. Its pretty hard for me to really talk about him since there is just no substance to him at all. Most of the "jokes" ...

What I love about this kind of Romance-Anime is its ability to crossover both fiction and reality. Kubo-san won't let me invisible is a straight forward anime as the title implies. We are introduced to a beautiful heroine named Nagisa Kubo and a main character that chooses to be a side character named Junta Shiraishi, through Kubo-sans persistent attempt of talking to Shiraishi we are introduced with this lovely series. Truth be told, if you've watched plenty of romance anime some elements will be repetitive for you, however I do believe that this series has its own charm. Growth is the essence of this anime, ...

Since the success of Karakai Jouzu Takagi-san there has been a number of shows that have tried to, with varying levels of success, copy its formula - cute girl decides to play around with and eventually fall for shy, awkward guy.

So, how does Kubo-san do in that regard?

Kubo-san is a show about a beautiful, athletic, intelligent, popular girl who likes a guy who is so unremarkable that most people think he isn't present even when they're in the same room; furthermore, she seems to be the one of the only people who's even ~capable~ of noticing his presence at all. Why does this seemingly ...

Teasing Master, Kubo-san.

Between all the slice-of-life high school romcom’s about cute popular girls poking and prodding lonely, insecure and gloomy protagonists out of their shells that you’ve probably watched in the past couple of years, I wouldn’t blame you if you looked at Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible and thought “Yep, that sure is another one of those”, which it is, just to clarify.
However, just because it is “another one of those” doesn’t mean it’s not good, and the central gimmick of the protagonist, Shiraishi is such a nothing nobody of a background character that he might as well be invisible to the ...

Just a disclaimer that I've read the manga until the end, so there might be some bias.

Junta is a guy who was blessed with Stealth level 100. No one notices him even if he's nearby. He might make a good spy or a thief. Nagisa is a normal girl, but with the extraordinary talent to notice Junta without much effort. The story is about their interaction on their little world where only the two of them are part of. Well, even if they wanted to get other people into their world, rarely will anyone notice Junta. And due to this, it becomes a playground for ...

I liked this anime from episode 1 its a very good good anime from my perspective it's somewhat like takagi san but a little more softer its interesting to watch this one its one of the best of this season
Not a unique story perhaps but the character design feels great like how he is a unknown ghost type personality
Character design is good its gives a warm feeling watching them both
Storyline might be too slow for some people but its definitely worth watching
Situation and reactions goes perfectly
Its great to watch if you want to feel warm and want to smile a bit

Seriously though, this anime - Kubo Won't Let Me Be Invisible is a gem! Kubo's adorable face and smile have me swooning every time.

The show's premise is so relatable - who hasn't felt invisible at some point? But Kubo sees Shiraishi, and she's determined to make him visible to the world. I love how the show balances humor and heart, tackling deeper themes like loneliness and self-discovery. The characters are well-developed and complex, with amazing growth throughout the season.

The animation is stunning, with insane attention to detail. And the soundtrack? Perfect!

If you haven't watched this anime yet, give it a try. Trust me, you won't ...

I really enjoyed this anime but its hiatus didn't do it any favors. The story is very cute and the characters are easy to root for. When it premiered it was one of my favorites. However, when it returned, it had to compete with The Dangers in My Heart, and frankly I liked The Dangers in My Heart more, which affected how I perceived the remaining Kubo episodes when this anime returned.

That said, this isn't a bad anime. It's still very cute and light. It's very easygoing and calming. I still like it even though it had competition upon its return. I also enjoyed ...

There is often a risk-reward spectrum in life. The higher the risk, the greater the potential reward. The same goes with Kubo-san, an anime which takes little risk, but fails to deliver anything substantial. It does have some redeeming features, though.

The concept of an "invisible person" is an interesting one, which if utilised correctly, can deliver deep, insightful messages to viewers. Kubo-san could have delved into a powerful backstory where the protagonist commits a grave sin in his formative years and is ostracised, or where his "invisibility" stems from a social inability to interact. Instead, the rationale behind Junta's invisibility is "just because": very safe ...

Very very enjoyable for me even i'm not the RomCom lovers. I'm start watching this cause i'm very bored and i don't know what to do. Since i have friends that an weebs so i asked him such a good anime, and then i found this... The story is fine for me even it's teasing me cause i'm single. I confused when see shiraisi's character design was drawn/animated very common and unique at the same time, but since i read the manga i can understand why. I wan't to say thank you for the staff who worked on this such a good series. Greatly waiting ...

Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai is a slice-of-life show pouring charm out of its seams. It's an anime about a guy named Shiraishi who's so invisible that he's rumored to bring good luck to anyone who sees him. But there's one person, and somehow her entire family too, who doesn't miss him: his classmate Kubo, who's determined to make him come out of his shell.
The show is charming, funny, and heartwarming. The characters are all well-developed, and the animation is top-notch. But what sets it apart is that it explores the themes of invisibility and self-acceptance.
The animation and art style are top-notch, creating a vibrant ...

The Romcom genre is one of the most exploited genres to make a quick buck: Introduce the worthless MC, pair him with the best girl of the school and stuff 24 minutes with overused tropes. You give it a cute artstyle to hide the subtle imperfection to trick people into thinking this is quality. Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai is an example of money that can be used elsewhere.

I'm a person who speaks from the heart, words are not my thing so please, bear with me on this one. All romcoms have their MC stand out on one thing and our little guy doesn't ...
