| Not a bad looking PV at all... and that manga cover and the one scene in the PV makes me think it'll have cooking. I sure hope there's cooking :D Looks like it'll be CG, but hey I'm willing to check this out. I can't say I know of too many anime with geisha/maiko in it. |

| The manga is great and a hidden gem. The anime looks like cheap CG shit unfortunately. How the fuck does Komi-san not have an anime announcement already? Get your shit together Weekly Shonen Sunday, it's ridiculous how everything else is getting adapted. |

| I have a feeling this might be a little warm and a little melancholy, crossing my fingers that it proves to be true! It's a really interesting animation style as well, definitely going to keep an eye out for new info on this one. |
| I warn in advance those who want to follow this CGDCT because of the any yuri potential: both girls are in love with one boy and the whole romance subplot is limited to this. |

It looks so nice, but I don’t want to watch if there’s any romance involving a dude... Guess, I’ll have to read manga to decide there is a male character and yes the romance sub plot will be there if they adapt far enough that is, but his role is minimal. |

I’m still disappointed it has romance in it... I thought it was a cute SoL story. I’m not ready to handle a love triangle there is like 3 chapter out of 100 chapter has romance tease on it, the rest is cooking cute SOL story. if you really didn't want it, you can skip it, here the summary for it "romance" (if that even count, lOl) the adaptation could skip it completely and nothing change. they are hundreds kilometers apart, lOl. |

| I was interested at first, But after hearing all the talk about romance in this Im out. I've only watch and accept lesbian love in my anime , the rest doesn't suit my personal taste very well |

Ok, you’ve convinced me, my friend! That sounds harmless, I’ll give it a try. Thanks! You said that you only don't like ugly boys. This boy is drawn in exactly the same moe style. But now you say that you do not like the idea of romance with a male in such a show in principle. Even calling the "harmless" opportunity not to see it in the anime. What a hypocrisy. @Kuma So "not count" that the manga from time to time reminds of this and in one chapter the girls even specifically try to cook something for him. Before he appeared, yuri fans called even lesser between two girls an important subtext. |

I’m just tired of watching people toxicly insult characters or tropes because the show doesn’t match their fetish attitude towards the anime. For example, the recent hatred of people for Seton's Jin, as it prevents them from fantasizing about this show as yuri anime. |

ysphyr said: @RobertBobert I wanted to read/watch it because I thought it was a nice SoL like Amaama to Inazuma. Of course I grew suspicious of all the talks about the apparent love triangle - not because of my opinion on anime guys, but because I don't want any love drama. That's it. And don't try to accuse me of "hypocrisy" when there was none. Again, when I mentioned that there is straight romance here, you started complaining about romance itself in general, and only then you said something about the love triangle. As if it was said only for the cover. When people don’t want too much drama, they say “oh, I don’t want too much drama in this show,” and they don’t start talking about romance itself and how they want the show to be a cute girls zoo. Oh, did you like Amaama to Inazuma? But there was an “ugly male lead” and subtle age gap romance. How could you watch this ?! |

As always I regret replying to any nonsence you are posting here. Won't make that mistake ever again. I could say "what was required to prove", but to be honest, I was surprised that you could not even answer such a simple question. That says a lot. |

| Incoming another anime that will probably only be used as one season for promotion and die off years before the manga is completed. |
| I like the manga, but I wasn’t expecting it to be CG. A series like this didn’t need to be CG to be honest. I will check it out to see how it goes... I can see this being a short (12 minutes) series. P.S. I'm still mad at Shounen Sunday for never green-light an adaptation of Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai... That was low and a waste opportunity... That series would have made an excellent slide of life/comedy show if given the chance. |
