| Sayu's mother never redeemed herself. But I still dislike Mishima after the series. She was the worst. 7/10 Grown up Sayu *thumbs up* |

| I cant believe Yoshida rejected Sayu one final request of sex. I mean, its not a sex by lust like the first time they met., its a sex by love so that Sayu will never forget Yoshida. It may not sound important to him, but it is very important for Sayu so that all of her hundred sex encounter be overwrite by her sex experience with Yoshida. I mean ffs, even a kiss to the forehead or something will do just fine. I'm surprised that Yoshida and Asami is getting 'good' together. Theyre texting and meeting so casually. And its been two years so Asami is like 20-21 yrs so age wouldnt be a problem for Yoshida right? And that smile Asami did while she is reading Yoshida mail. Its a smile that saids "I'm glad I'm dating him." And yeah, I expected that Yoshida and Sayu reunion. I hope he will give her the D this time lol. That was a fun ride. 7/10 |

| Many ups and downs in quality and writing with this show throughout. The LN readers announced countless times on the forum how the two end up together in the end so it was already known for a while, even as someone who hadn't read it. Despite the flaws, which there were many, there was still some enjoyment to be had for me with this show and I don't see any wrongdoing on Yoshida's part. 7/10 seems fair I think. |
| Guess Sayu is perfect now "There is no way I can forget" scene is still a resounding one,Sayu still thinks that intersexual relationship is the way to connect, But yoshida counter by patting her head,is still a top notch scene.Once again a ultra pro max respect moment for yoshida. Deserves this season top male character  |
 |
| Very good emphasis on all the key emotional moments. Some characters could have been better written such as the mother. 6/10 |
| Loved this episode a whole bunch, it was really cute. This was such an entertaining series, and it was one of the ones I really looked forward to watching each week. This was much less harem-esque than I was expecting, which was nice and dang that ending was reallyyy sweet. |
 |
| here I was having a good laugh at how absolutely pathetic every character is. then the gyaru lost her tan and hair dye. I'm no longer laughing. top10 anime betrayals. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| Quick reminder that Sayu is one of the worst characters to ever exist. OK. Now the mom became good and accepts Sayu, God this made me laugh because how bad it is. Sayu never changes and remains a horny b*tch till the end. Asks Yoshida to have sex with her without any self dignity. Good thing Yoshida stuck to his principles. Now, everything is over and she comes back to Yoshida? Idk if this is an open ending or she comes back but if its the latter, then this gotta be one of the worst ending ever in an anime. And thus ends the disappointment of this season. Started off strong with its initial episodes and kept being repetitive. Then it evolved into a cringe-fest starting from Sayu's backstory. And people defend this trash on Muse Asia Youtube comment section. Hope there never exists an anime like this. 3/10 for the anime. |
| It was a good anime in my opinion. Always seeing people hate on it but I mean too bad, they have their opinions I have mine. Cute ending especially re-enacting the beginning of the anime. _MushiRock11_ said: Well, that was sort of touching honestly. Aside from the bed scene which just created more room for controversy xD, everything else played out fairly as expected. "Yoshida taking care of Asami-chan now? Good riddance." - My first impression when Yoshida-san's friend teased that. Good to see that Gotou-san and Mishima-san aren't bailing out on the race but it seems like the conclusion seemed to suggest otherwise sadly. Definitely interested to check out the another story featuring the two, hopefully that gets an English translation and doesn't beat around the bush. All in all, I was really interested with the start and even ended up binge-ing the released chapters of the time. But the hype surely dropped by the week and I'm left with an almost indifferent impression now. As such, a generous 6/10 I suppose. I agree with what you put in the spoiler. I read what was out in he manga and was like wait they skipped that entire part. |
| Man, Sayu was down bad for Yoshida lmao. Good ending, but I definitely think the show was at it's best in the beginning, the quality kinda went down halfway through, though the ending was definitely sweet. Her mother is still a bitch, but she at least won't mess with Sayu anymore. Asami after getting over her gyaru phase looks really beautiful, honestly wouldn't mind getting an ova of Yoshida and Sayu's life after she came back. 7/10 |
 |
| I'm guessing there will be S2? Sayu was so into Yoshida maybe because she really feels good when she is with him. But she is very horny for a high schooler when she is alone with Yoshida, while Yoshida tries to act like a little bit father figure to her lol. Anyways, good show I am hoping I could read the manga tho |
| Best anime of the season, good story, even if I'm not a fan of cliffhangers. It's so sad to see it rated only 7.55, anyway I'va given it a 9 |
| I really liked how they handled Yoshida's coming home and also their reenactment of that first encounter. Besides that... I don't know about this, lmao. One thing that really made no sense to me was Sayu staying with her mom even though her mom had not changed at all. She just said "don't get in trouble," but we know for a fact that her definition of "trouble" is very misconstrued. That is just not a healthy home environment, and they didn't even really have any healing. And then, of course, there's the whole potential grooming thing there... I'm glad the anime didn't go to full-blown pedophilia, but that is a very low bar to hurdle. The "age doesn't matter" bit by Sayu's brother and then Yoshida saying she had a chance once she was a member of society are both pretty crazy to include. |
| not bad at all , to be honest this is so good to watch !! |
| LN readers please answer my questions lol, so 1) did the anime cover the end of the LN? 2) so Yoshida was in love with Sayu? 3) I assume he rejected Gotou as well? 4) how is the relationship between Sayu and her mother now? 5) what happened after the ending scene? SPOILER TAG your replies please, thanks |
| the ending is pretty disappointing me basically this is recap of previous episode, the story writter only write for 12 episode but the producer planning this runs for 13 episode. I know little bit spoiler from manga/LN and the ending is still lame. I still don't know how this going from generic harem to romance then to soap opera-esque drama, pretty inconsistent. |
k, imma gonna disappear |
| Yeah, it makes sense if I understood correctly what was implied by the ending. They care about each other and superficial things like age and taste in women are nothing compared to the emotional connection they acquired. And Sayu won't be a kid forever so Gotou-san screwed herself over right from the beginning, things like appearance weren't matter in the long run while connecting on a personal level is a very rare and valuable thing. At least, from what I saw Sayu and Yoshida were very convincing as a family already. |

brenobluhm said: Sweet ending and while is pretty obvious Yoshida and Sayu will end up together (2 years have passed and he was still single) I would love to ser some more closure. Maybe an OVA. When did they say 2 years had passed? I must have missed it. |
| So Asami is part of Yoshida's harem and she was still waiting by the time Yoshida meet Sayu under the same spot. Logically speaking, Yoshida had crush for Gotou for 5 years and he clearly said that she's his type but that's all fading away just because he lived with a minor for only 6 months, not even touching her no nothing. I don't think the relationship between Yoshida and Sayu is a romantic one, but more like brother-sister relationship and i kinda understand why Sayu likes older men because she doesn't has fatherly figure in her life, so at this point Sayu is just holding Yoshida back from getting a real relationship, i mean come on he's surroinded by many women even Gotou his crush said she likes him as well, those two should be end up together instead ! Also i am pretty sure the production budget was limited because the studio decided to cover half of the story with picture slides in the end. It was a happy ending and all but it just ain't it for me, and i am totally agree that the finale was anticlimactic and underwhelming. But the show is enjoyable nonetheless Overall score 7/10, i doubt there'll be a 2nd season though |

| After mercilessly destroying the characters except CHAD-YOSHIDA in the previous episode's forum, it's ironic that I pretty much enjoyed the ending after the first 5 minutes ofc. Why after first 5 minutes ? Because the first five minutes were crap. Yoshida made Sayu's mom realize that " Yeah, you are the only parent" and Sayu's mom is "Hmm Hmm, that settles it. Sayu is staying here". So basically it was just an irrational excuse to progress the plot towards its ending. After that, it was all fluid and the last episode resembled much of the first episode's scenes due to which I got a liking to this anime so it was pretty good.  This was disheartening AF. Like seriously chad-yoshida has suffered a lot too. It could have had some good positive response from the audience if we neglect how poorly sayu's past and the last few episodes had been presented. 6/10 for me at most. Ah and I see some people are fussing about a second season because Sayu came back. It can't happen. Not even a OVA. Sayu came back just because she promised to meet Yoshida later. She has just came to meet her! I do not want a sequel now titled "I SHAVED AND MADE THAT TEENAGE GIRL A WOMAN" DON'T FORGET, YOSHIDA IS THE REAL CHAD!!!!! |

It's so sad to see it rated only 7.55, anyway I'va given it a 9 No, I've watched other 7. I think the only one with the same rating is Vivy with a 9 too. Anyway of course I'm speaking for myself, so that's just my opinion |
| W show! This season was packed with good stuff. |
 |
| An ending that was to be expected. Sayu was able to live with her mom until graduation, until she can see Yoshida again. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like this show. I think the fact that it focuses on an older character is the first thing that jumps out to me, followed by its more mature premise. I found myself looking forward to this every week. I think this had potential to go much further, but there were a couple of things that really kept it from going the distance. The first is the underdeveloped backstory of Sayu and her Mother. Because this wasn't as nearly fleshed out as it should have been, there wasn't much of an emotional impact in these last few episodes. Sayu's Mom really needed her backstory explained, because she came off as so unbelievable in her anger. I also think the whole suicide story was half baked. It just didn't compel me like it should have, considering it's one of the main reasons this story even exists. The situation with the mother was solved a little too easily, and I wish that Saku was able to reconcile with her. Show her that she was worth being born, and to help the mother get over the fact that the father left. But this was just left hanging with no real conclusion. I think it's a shame this more or less abandoned Yoshida's own story of finding his own love. Obviously, in the end it turned out to be Sayu. But the thing is, I was kind of hoping it would still be the boss lady. Because I think the Yoshida/Sayu route would be too obvious. Instead, it should have been that their meeting changed both of their lives for the better, Yoshida was able to grow up and realize the importance of caring for someone else, while Sayu was able to come to her senses, care about her own well being, and get back to school. And they both stay good friends. It's not that I'm against them being together like some of the people on here who are going on psychotic tirades, but I think it was too predictable. Yoshida for me is a bit of a mixed bag. He was more or less perfect, but he still had the decency not to get into certain situations with Sayu. Not that I mind that kind of stuff, but this presented itself as a serious story with heavy themes, so that kind of stuff would've felt out of place. But I think the mature and serious premise that this had was not fully utilized, but it was still compelling in some ways. I think it's endearing nature is what drew me in. Is it deserving of its some of the seething reviews that it's received? Definitely not, but this is by no means a great show. Slightly above average with some interesting elements that helps set it apart. 6/10 |
| Feels like a really safe ending, just popping her back there and have the MC go on a rant. You'd think there'd at least be 1 episode of tension with the family after or something. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| Main characters like Yoshida are not very common and he really made this show enjoyable to a great extent. 7/10 |
The author's real intentions with this anime summed up. JK fetish. Everybody in this anime is an idiot. |
