Dunno....seems to me like we're in for 13 Episodes of weird scenes, her not wearing her glasses, him getting off about how she's close to him xD
Can't see much of a Story to be made here.....but then again, it's just my take based on one Episode.

Not hopeful for this one. Seems pretty cheesy.

Yeah same here. There wasn't much in the way of character building, they just dived right in to the poor vision gimmick, which wasn't as entertaining as I thought it would be. Here's hoping there's more depth to be had in the coming episodes.

the story is sweet, not amazing 😂😭😭😭😭
if you read the manga in one sitting it won't feel that repetitive
but 13 eps won't do it, and it's not worth more than 13 eps
stick with the manga 🫣

This was the worst first episode of anything I’ve seen in a while, I think I’ll stick it out until ep 3, if it’s still bad I’ll have to drop it.

Nevermind the animation style, the main character is the dumbest, cringiest simp I've seen since Rent-a-Girlfriend. Even if Mie is a decent waifu (I like the klutzy ones) I don't think I'll be able to handle 13 episodes watching this insufferable asshat.

I really hope this plays out similarly to Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu, where the MC steadily grows from cringelord to chad in just one cour. Last season was great for romance anime, with so many women taking the initiative in the relationship; now we need to stop with the "I-radiate-lethal-doses-of-virgin-energy" male characters.

what are you on he is barely 15 and the other dude is 20
at 15 he is the horniest he can be, of course it's gonna be cringe, it's his pov
kazuya it's 20, and still worse than a child at 15

that comparison made no sense, 0, none, nothing, negative

they are in middle school, way different mentality than highschool

I never mentioned any horniness, it's fine being horny. The problem is having yet another MC that acts like women are bizarre, incomprehensible creatures - to the point he couldn't even give her a little tap on the shoulder to wake her up during class. I was 15 once, and even though I was awkward as fuck, this anime just takes it to the extreme. There are plenty of 15 year old boys who have romantic experience, both in Japan and other countries. This type of writing is just the typical, cliched pandering to virgin nerds, much like Rent-a-girlfriend.

In the end, it's simply bad writing. I'll give it the traditional 3 episodes trial, but it seems likely I'll drop this one.

Sounds like projection. Willing to bet you’re the real virgin nerf if it makes you this upset.

I'm just exercising my writing skills using this bad anime as an input. You definitely could work on yours.

It's not bad writing just because it isn't realistic though, it's fucking anime, it's rarely ever realistic. lol

If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

I think the mc is relatable for any average 14 to 15 year old introvert boy in middle school.
I mean not everyone is born a chad. Everyone middle school character like Nishikata and Ichikawa were awkward at first but had their developments as the anime went on. This character here is also shown like that. In the previous stories Nishikata and Ichikawa fell in love with their female counterparts over the period of the anime, but here the mc is already in love so it's a little bit different case. It's middle school shounen romance story so it's bound to be cringe. For eg: feeling ashamed to touch a girl or anything like that is cringe and is actually pretty normal for a middle school boy who has a crush on her. If you feel bored watching this type of thing then u should watch something else. For me I find this pretty cute and interesting.
Also, I haven't watched Rent a gf so I can't give my opinion on that.( all this is my personal opinion so u know...)

I really liked the animation and art style of the anime. Something different has been tried out this time so I gonna keep watching it.

sorry for rambling so much.

completely understand if you feel put off by the animation style, sometimes it feels like there's 3 styles mixed idk

give the story a chance, jump to the manga even
it's so sweet and feels less cringe

Nah , I don't have any problems with the animation style. Even the haters too only had problems of the camera angles not the animation, they loved the animation but criticized the camera angles hard. The camera angles are weird to me too but it's not like I suffered from some kind of motion sickness or gonna puke so I am gonna watch it till last . Even I feel like it's going to be my best anime of the season

I don't mind the graphics at all. What's cringe worthy is the MC overreacting to everything. I seen a lot of animes like that. It's very off putting after a while. Zero story and the MC is left zero personality. With all that said I am planning to watch to episode 3. If I still don't like it will drop it then.

You won’t regret sticking with it, as a manga reader I can assure you it’s gonna be amazing if you like an awkward romance between two weirdos. The side characters are also nice, it’s not going to be very past trauma kind of depth but the character all have depth nonetheless.
The first episode I agree was very very slow but it gives me confidence they won’t mess up the pacing. If you like dangers in my heart from last season you will probably like this as well.

If “by the books” is so bad, then why are you practicing your writing skills to be more by the books? Looks to me like you are following English grammar rules by the books. By your logic, you should be writing with your own artistic flair, ignoring any preconceived notions of what makes proper grammar and what does not!
