There was a lot going on in this episode. It has promise though. The character designs look nice, the characters themselves seem like they have room to devolope and grow. This first episode did feel like I was watching 4 five minute episodes though. Hopefully the quality doesn’t drop and they fix the pacing. I’m looking forward to the rest.

Is this some kind of "I don't give a fu*k about real girl / and suddenly get a pretty Girlfriend" pattern?

If yes.. I think I am gonna pass this one.. lol

I mean, I don't know what to think about it. Characters seems fine, Tsutsui looks good, kinda like me, Igarashi seems okay, but then it's like she's "slut" and again okay? Takanashi is weird, dunno what to think about him, mainly because of voice actor making him this way too. It's fun, it's cringe, it's romance (it went quick like in Koi to Uso first episode kind of) so I'm looking forward to it.

No. If it's like the manga is more about how the guy copes with its anxiety and lack of confidence with the help of the girl. Also, there will be a kinda dramatic part before the ending but I don't want to spoil that part. Go see in the manga how it is. But it's still a shoujo.

It was pretty average episode, but the OP and ED are pretty banging.

I like it..This is so similar with my life, well i still need to find an Iroha xd.The OP and ED are both amazing.. I like the art, Iroha is so beautiful drawn, and i kinda like her personality.. At first she looks like a b*tch, but i have a feelings she is not..She seems to be a good person. When she was accused of theft she didn't hesitate to prove her innocence.. She was like: "Look b*tch!! I don't have your book..I'll undress to show you"
Why Iroha will transfer to another school (T_T) ?...Looking forward to next ep..So far this anime has the best 1st ep from this spring..

I usually like generic school shoujo romcoms and whatnot but this was really cheezy and cringey in a bad way. Almost every event felt forced.

Generic Shoujo Romcoms are turds compared to this one.

This is not forced compared to the others.

At least shoujo finally has a main character and a heroine who have agency and flaws.

Not really interested on this anime at first, but after the first episode, i think it was okay, probably going to watch this series till the end.

The characters seems pretty interesting and i'm curious how the story will go.

Love the ED, the music they put when Tsutsui tailing her is pretty catchy too, wish it was longer.

Holy shit, I had low expectations but didn't expect this to be this bad. The pace is extremely ludicrous and events feels so random, 2 kisses in one episode lol.

The main heroine has to be one of the worst kind of girls I've seen in Anime, holy shit. (This anime also tries so hard to be funny but it isn't)

Even though it's following the manga pretty close, it almost feels like I'm watching something different.

I liked the episode but something just feels off. Mainly the pacing i think though the show feels somewhat low in energy which weird considering the plot summary I'd expect it to be a bit more energetic. Then again its only the first episode so I'll give it a couple more episodes before I think about dropping it.

It was a bit cringe but quite amusing at times.

Seems promising enough for now...as long as it steers clear of cheap drama and terrible cliches.


At the 4 minute mark when they accidentally fell into the pool, I as like: "Here we go for this season's trash" I thought it was going to be another one of those rediculous love stories with tons of "accidents" and romance cliches, however so far I was pleasantly surprised.

Here's hoping it holds up.

I binged the manga today and it was such a great read (baring parents arc and rushed ending). I was ready to drop the show after first episode yesterday because of Iroha's character (or what could be deduced of her character from that episode), but now after reading the manga she's one of my favorite heroines ever.

So i read the manga fully, To anyone wondering, the characters do get better specially the MCs despite being a shitty MC and horrible heroine it gets better, it will be worth watching if you want to continue it.

The MC gets better later on (though it will take 2 or 3 episodes if they're not skipping content). As for the heroine, you'll find out she's not slutty at all. Honestly, once she starts dating MC she's very sweet and pretty much a saint and very loyal. Her previous relationship were all very short and didn't go beyond kissing, since she dumped every guy quickly once she knew he only cared about her looks. The manga gets much, much better after camping trip with downfalls at parents arc and rushed ending.

Yeah I read the manga so I know now, but the Heroine is still slutty or at least was slutty, she was two timing at the start and was a very easy woman going with anyone even if she was with another person. she was slutty under the excuse of "finding Love" that many use even in real life. but yeah she does become better after they get together or at least after the first 6-7 chapters.

She wasn't two timing though. The karate guy was dumped by her before and just got mad that she's already with someone else (inferiority complex). That's why there's the "already" remark. She's never two timed or cheated on anyone. She just dumped and picked boyfriends very often. While I don't approve of her dating habits, it's not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. Her intentions were good and she always stopped when she should've. And once she's with MC we can see what sort of girl she really is and she's great.

Assuming it follows the manga closely, give it an episode or two. Then the show will be past all the cringe and start being good. After the camping trip it will become really good.

but I remember her during that scene sayign "I'm not dating any of you" so idk how that could be considered good intentions. I would say the sickness was more like an excuse to go with everyone all the time rather than her having good intentions in doing so.

She was probably a bit fucked up considering she's a 3rd year and the dating thing was going on since middle school. I wouldn't be surprised if at this point she didn't take any of her boyfriend seriously until he proved to be what she looks for. Regardless, the topic is only really present in the first chapter and in the flashback later on and has little impact on the story. The fact she didn't go all the way until she found someone special is enough for me considering how amazing she is later on.

The series is off to a good start with the introduction of the two main characters and their relationship. I was expecting the series to rely on cheap drama cliches to move the relationship forward but ultimately, I enjoyed the romantic moments because of their realism and simplicity. Tsutsun and Iroha have a believable connection and it will be interesting to see how they deal with any future challenges. Definitely a keeper for this season!

She goes out with a lot of guys and dumps them quickly once she knows they only want to have sex with her. She didn't sleep with anyone yet. Make from that what you will. She's pretty awesome and loyal like a dog to the MC. She doesn't care about any other guys at all once she starts dating him.

This episode is gone too fast. I mean, they start with know nothing each other, then start knowing each other, then suddenly come into confession and kissing. I just like "Wow wow guys, take it slowly, my brain isn't that fast to process what you showing to us".

But the design is okay, beyond my expected. i hope they didn't messed up that things.

The voice acting for the male MC was meh.
It had cringey moments.

Well, this was nothing special. The MC is obviously a selfinsert. It's not bad per se but seems to exaggerated. The best friend is too cringy. His lines, and his obsession with cat ears are urghh... please stop. The female MC... I have no idea who she is. She gets described as hated and promiscuous but we don't know a thing about her. First interaction was bad but then she is close to male MC and even a nice person...out of nowhere...

The dialogs of the first part were too sad. So much self-degradation =(

Well, I'm not dropping this yet, I'll see if it catches my attention in the incoming weeks; if not, I'll drop it.

It is a shoujo manga, so the self insert theory is gone.

Is it simply about petty love like in most shoujo?We can't really say for sure.

Iroha is an interesting female. So while she is good looking she obviously has some past with leading boys along but why though? What's behind it? Does it have something to do with the hospital visit?

Also i actually like Tsutsui you can relate to his situation of always being an outcast and never wanting to interact with others.

The overall feel of this anime though was unbalanced. I'm sure I will keep up,

a shoujo about a male otaku, hmm.......
pretty bad and rushed so far, except for maybe the last scene which was pretty heartwarming for 5 seconds (before they threw a cliffhanger at us)
the art is not really the best either. i hate how in some random scenes the sides/corners of the scenery are lighter and "cloudier" than the rest, makes me feel like i'm watching a dream sequence but it's all real...
might turn out to be decent or possibly good but they really gotta up their game, this was so embarrassing and difficult to watch

Better than I expected it to be. Bit off an odd pairing, too – otaku guy and socially dysfunctional girl. Relationship is set from the get-go, so no beating around the bush, and they only have 6 months to really get to know each other and decide how far they want to take it.

Animation isn't really stellar (seems to be an issue with Hoods recently), but I enjoyed this episode nonetheless.

Also, I like how being an otaku seems to be coming a bit more accepted in manga/anime, even more so considering the fact that this is a shoujo series, so maybe this is an attempt by the author to tell young girls that dating an otaku may not always be as bad as they might be tempted to believe.
