Wow! The first Otomome-Adaption were I don't feel the urge to kill the MC because she is overly passive. I also liked that she didnt get swarmed by the whole male cast in the first episode. Cursed Books is a nice idea storywise.
The ED looks promising wink wink nudge nudge

Otome game anime are usually shit but this seems like I should give it a few more episodes. It's wasn't in your face with half a dozen dudes going for the girl....yet. I hope not.


Agreed, willing to give it a shot. Feels closer to Code Realize's aesthetic and storytelling. As long as it doesn't turn into a Neo Angelique or Hiro no Kakera should be a decent VN to anime adaptation.

Side Note: It's common for Japanese story-telling, and is obviously a cultural nuance and ideology, but I honestly hate the..."I'm starting over/going a new direction/at a point of self-rebirth so I'm cutting my hair off to reflect this" theme. T_T Prior to the ending I was rejoicing at seeing another heroine with long hair. Seems almost impossible to have a heroine with long hair most of the time. Don't believe this to be the intention, but it's almost like a strong woman can't maintain the femininity of long hair; to be strong and move forward they MUST shed that aspect of their femininity. Personally, as a tom-boy with long hair I find it very frustratingly annoying and one of the few cultural concepts I genuinely dislike. I think this is worsened by the fact that it's used so often in the shojou/otome genres.

Agree that OP felt out of place. ED just made me laugh at the obvious fan service.

To 2nd poster: Can't speak for the previous poster, but I just prefer fan service to be less outlandish. When it's written into the plot it's more enjoyable. Think the rare moment here and there makes it more special and enticing. Too much in comparison is desensitizing and silly. An onslaught of it at the end of every episode is just hilarious and to some extent grotesque. It gives me the same awkward feeling as if I'm watching the standard fan service in bishoujo anime targeted at men, the series with the panty shots and needlessly bouncy boobs. It's hilariously over the top fan service. I'll put myself in the weird category because I'm also not one of those women who actively seeks out movies like Magic Mike or finds appeal in shows like Chip n Dales. XD

I guess I'm a weird one as well.... I feel the same way. I'll drop this after ep 2, unless it gets SERIOUSLY better. I might watch something like this if it were dubbed (so I could do other things while watching it)... but I'm not wasting my time, reading something like this (I don't watch an otome game anime for fanservace-I watch it because it has potential (key word there is "potential") for a good story without the bouncy boobs all over the place (like most romance/harem anime these days), innuendos and/or panty shots).
That op just gives off a completely different vibe from the rest of the episode and makes it look totally stupid.

Nothing inherently wrong with this, but my god was this first episode dull!

I've had my fair share of reverse harem animes/otome game adapted(?) animes. So far this was quite promising and on the better end of the spectrum. I look forward to how it unravels!

Will this anime get a 2nd season. It set itself for a continuation, at the last episode, but will one actually come I wonder.

Reverse harem heh. Not bad but not too sure if I like the actual premise.
