I will pass after reading the last line of the synopsis. If only the characters gender are reversed - a male fell in love with a 5th grader girl, then I might watch it.

The synopsis sounds similar to another shoujo anime aired last year - Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii, where the princess fall in love with a child. Since this anime is actually decent, I might give the new anime a go.

I think the plot is interesting, but I do agree that it would sound more appealing if it were a loli and not a shota.

Reminds me of Recorder to Randoseru (since I'm currently watching it).
That was my first thought after reading that he's in 5th grade.

I won't get my expectations high for a shoujo anime. But I'll probably check it because of the seiyuu cast.

It would probably garner a lot of criticism for being pedophilia.

I've skimmed through the manga... oh gosh, if there isn't some plot twist in it, this is just too pedo.
Maybe the male MC has gotten stuck in fifth grade for five years, and is in reality 15 yrs old? (nah, prob not).

This series here seems to be a giant cluster of lulz. I mean contrary to Neko to Watashi no Kinyoubi that depicts a sweet narrative in the age-gap argument, this one downright makes it silly by showing a cesspool of giant youngster bishies on ridiculous fifth grader clothing, who are the main "harem" focus of the female lead (they better introduce some of her same-aged peers).

I may watch but it sounds so silly that it kind of makes me question how it is gonna be.

HAHAHAH. What a pleasant surprise . I did nOT expect this to get an anime adaptation. I'm watching this for the comedy, fur sure. It's not the MCs fault that this shota has a bishounen-ified version of progeria, lol.

Yep this is really creepy.. like even if he looks like a grown man doesn't make it any better. I mean I guess I'll give this a watch but I'm not sure if I'll enjoy this since it's like a romance thing with a fifth grader.

Edit: Ok apparently there is also a tenth grader and a college student but it really doesn't make it any better if the main romantic interest is literally a 10 year old.

But seriously, let's be real. When you have sexualized underage girls in your freaking avatar, you have no position to start getting all "creeped out" or morally outraged in the slightest.

Hype for me began at "he's a 5th grader".

OK, I've read the first four chapters...if I can make it through Diabolik Lovers I can make it through this. But it just feels....weird.... The female mc looks more like a fifth grader than the fifth graders who look more like the college students. The mc is 15 which would make the age gap 4 years. Even in Japan this premise is pretty shady...

I'm still sad that Aria gave this an anime and not Okobore Hime to Entaku no Kishi.

Why, Aria? Why?

Omg I just read the manga. The female mc is really annoying. Like all the lines she got are 'omg my boyfriend is soooo handsome. But he's 10 years old... What I gonna do.. Doki doki' kinda of shit.

And the male mc, they better pull some twists and he's better not 10years old kid.

But then.. Takahiro Sakurai tho..

Ahh, I listened to the drama CD just recently! I love all the seiyuus ^o^ So I'll definitely check this out.

I don't know if she's what you'd call a shotacon... but he doesn't look like a shota at all so it takes some of the weirdness out of it. xD it's not her fault that his looks were so deceivingly bishounen HAHA . :D

Sakurai Takahiro and Horie Yui are going to voice the main couple, both are my favorite seiyuus and plot seems interesting so i think i will give it a shot! ;)

I wonder when it will be aired, tho... Any signs?

Can't help but think this is gonna be another typical shoujo romcom where the girl has little to no personality and gets some hot guy where the show panders to him.

Well regardless, I do enjoy my occasional dose of shoujo romcoms.
