| So in the end, Sayu actually became Yoshida's girl despite him having so many other options. Who would have thought? Surprisedpikachu.gif Guess this show will go to the top of my disapointing list of the season. A show that had so much potential in it's beginning and even after it's mid point, but it plummeted in the last quarter with a climax that didn't live up to it's hype. Sadly Gotoh & Mishima where just pawns in Yoshida's unwanted harem. The fact that the timeskip shows no growth in neither of them just makes it even more absurd just for the sake of making Sayu a bit older so that the age gap isn't as frwoned upon by the bystanders. |
MenchiK1 said: Lol, exactly. I didn't have my hopes too high when I saw the first episode, I expected it to go down like this. Judging by how the sexual assault was handled, it's obvious that the author doesn't actually know how to work with serious topics. It's apparently just a cool gimmick to force drama I guess.I would have liked this show more if it had the balls to be what it really was, an adult male harem fantasy. So all that pretending to be a father figure was to appease the mom (and the audience) so he could get away with banging her when she turned 18. should have just slept with her in ep 1 then and not wasted our time. <_< |

Suzie said: 100% agree, they tried to make it look like Yoshida was a person of reason and for a moment it looked like he had some convictions in his own ideas, apparently not though. Started off as maybe a 6, but definitely ended at a 4.Very predictable and boring ending.. can't believe Yoshida's dumb little speech got the mom to rethink her behavior at all lol. "you're Sayu's only parent!!!" "OMG I AM" like did no one ever tell her that? What a mediocre man, and yet the show insists he's the nicest guy everybody wants. I watched it for the trashy drama but then it just got really boring and never recovered. 4/10 |
| I didn't like the ending. It was very boring like some people said above. This show was never good imo but it got even worse after Sayu went back home, that arc was so fucking bad. |
 |
| 7-ish fo rme. Liked the confrontation with the mother. Other than that it was again Yoshida + Sayu. And this actually did not really feel too special compared to other romance I liked more. It was really close for me between 7 and 8. But I am giving 7 (7.4 rounded down). |
| To literally no one's shock whatsoever, this garbage fire does indeed end with Yoshida and Sayu getting together. But before that, we have to sit through yet more of the absolutely awful mother being absolutely awful (I don't even know where to start on her belief that she did nothing wrong, given she has really done nothing right at all) and the writing here continues to be as shit as ever: how did it never occur to the mother that she is Sayu's only parent, or why did that statement from Yoshida suddenly make her do a complete 180. This show started by pretending it was less iffy than its premise suggested and that it was smarter than it actually was, but from the flashback onwards everything fell apart in almost impressive fashion and we ended up with a repulsive trainwreck. Abusive parents are always a bit of a touchy topic for me, and this show's bending over backwards to avoid condemning the mother for her behaviour by suggesting living with her is best for Sayu was aggravating beyond belief, especially after the trivialisation of suicide in Sayu's backstory. Also, these final three episodes could have been done in two, given that far too long of this episode was spent on Yoshida saying goodbye to Sayu. This show is absolutely abysmal, by far and away the worst and most repulsive I watched this season and probably one of the absolute worst seasonals I've ever watched to completion (certainly the worst since I started to actually drop anime back in 2016 rather than finishing stuff no matter what). 3/10 |
| This was a sweet "conclusion", I guess. Far from being really good, then again, I didn't have high expectations to begin with. I liked this show more in the beginning because it didn't really do much wrong. Couldn't say the same after the halfway point. 5/10 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Since I'm not a LN reader and basically, since I'm an anime fan, I look for the original sources after watching anime adaptation. Taking into account just what the anime presented, the ending was kinda open. For me, it was confusing if Yoshida was imagining Sayu waiting for him again or if they actually met again some years later. I enjoyed this series a lot and the evolution of some characters along the story. |
 |
| Well, nice to see that it had a happy ending. I wish there was more to this but it's fine I guess. Overall, I enjoyed watching Higehiro. Sayu's smile in the end was adorable ^~^ |

| This was a nice one. The animation could've been a lot better tho. I wish the "fanbase" of this anime wasn't so immature too. When I started this I had very low expectations but it did manage to surprise me. I didn’t read the ln but I know the anime skipped some parts so this could've used some more episodes or OVAs. But overall I'm satisfied with the ending because it’s pretty open-ended and didn’t take a darker path. |
| I'm so glad this ended so well. Hands down my anime of the season, no contest. I'm so glad they decided to air this show and sad that it finally has come to an end. What a ride. 8.5/10. Great show. Also, was that Sayu under the tree? Was a bit confused there lol |

SaintZeph said: Wow had to rewatch, she dyed her hair and looks so much older compared to Sayu after 2 years who's unchanged. Oh well lol. Thanks for the reply! She had her hair dyed before, and her skin tanned too. She was supposed to represent a rebellious teenager. So this is her natural self |
| Despite the cuts from the LN. sloppy animation and the open ending, it was an enjoyable romance anime. 7/10 |
| Really liked the last episode specially the open ending. Also Sayu was sooooo cutee in this episode ahahaha!!! |
 |
| So I just wasted all those hours for.. this ending..? smh |
 plz @ me |
| Emotional episode. Was expecting something different but this still was good. Yoshida crying about Sayu and realising he needed her also was quite upsetting to watch. Was a good journey to this final episode. I’d say a 7/10 |
| AISHITERU...REM! |
| Predictable ending, good show, a solid 7 for me. |
  SEIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| A somehwat fitting ending to this series, I think. Nothing too climatic or bombastic, because that was exactly what Sayu's life was before. But finally Sayu is content, is strong enough, confident enough to stand on her own. And life goes on. That was a pretty sad goodbye. Glad to see that Yoshida kept true to himself to the very end. Rejecting Sayu's half-hearted, still somewhat desperate and insecure advances again, and saying once more he's not interested in kids. But when the time comes when she's an adult, she'll have a chance. That was a cute confession, and a cute resolution to it. But it was saddening to see the empty apartment. Looks like he rejected Gotou in the end from what I can tell from his bowing to her at the restaurant. And glad he kept in touch with Asami. I should've expected an ending where we'd go back to the start: Sayu sitting under the lamppost late at night as Yoshida came home. I could feel Yoshida's surprise and happiness as well. Did Asami already know? Maybe. This time, she's not in her uniform. She's in a dress fitting for girls her age. She's finally an adult. She can stand on her own. She has a home to go back to. And finally, the line the started it all... 「おじさん、泊めてよ！」 Man, this series was good. It was wholesome, like really wholesome how Yoshida was so good to Sayu, and how precious Sayu was. Gonna miss this show, and I think I'll pick up the LN. 8/10! |
 |
| All I cared for ever since episode 1 is that Sayu ends up with Yoshida, and I'm glad to see it actually happened within reasonable time (1-2 years, not like half a decade). I was afraid that he would've had to wait for her to also go through college... I was glad to see she got her ass back to Tokyo for him, once she graduated from high school. Although high school diplomas are practically worthless today, it would've still been a huge problem if she moved in with him without having one. At least now, they can get married or whatever and she can calmly go to college in Tokyo. Or do whatever else she wanted, IDC. I loved this anime! Don't care about the hate. It was very sweet, albeit the flaws. Emmuhzx said: They animated the entire light novel of 6 volumes. So there's no more.Anyone think we'll get a season 2? I believe we're still in volume 5, but the author already said that volume 6 will be the last. So that's how it basically ends. I guess you could always read it, as they probably left little things out in the anime adaptation. To get the whole picture. But honestly, what else could we wish for!? Sayu got together with Yoshida, as an adult, this time around. It's not like we've got one of those s---ty ambiguous endings where it was left to our imagination. |

| Ah, the teasing from Sayu was pretty cute and funny. "I don't think age matters when it comes to love" isn't a line you should be throwing around. Wow, Sayu finally tells Yoshida that she loves her, but, once again, Yoshida denies her by basically stating that he's not into kids. Gotou and Mishima are back on Yoshida's love train. Well, it looks like the cycle begins again for Yoshida! |

| Credit where it's due, Sayu remained ultra horny right to the bitter end. And that ending, let's face it, it's no wonder Yoshida cried a little. His first thought must have been, "No escape, I'm getting my brains fucked out tonight." |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| The anime started great then went downhill. The last3 or 4 eps were meh and the ending was quite disappointing . The author didn't had the balls to go against the industry trend and make the mc NOT fall in love with a high school girl Final score 7/10 (more like a 6.5/10) |
 |
| As expected a pretty inconclusive ending, though I do expect Yoshida and Sayu to become a couple now that Sayu is an adult. 6/10 overall |
 |
| so she somehow kinda-sorta blames herself anyway…not a fan of that i do like how new-look Asami and Yoshida became buddy buddy tho started off good but then like every felt like it was handled way too easily during the second half. woulda been an 8 from me had things were handled better. 7/10 |

|
| Surprised Sayu didn't try to hook up in the airport bathroom stall. I wanted a happy ending with Yoshida motorboating those Size I's How much time passed in the after credit scene? 6/10 |
| 5/10 overall. Pretty average, felt like the writer got lost in the issues he attempted to tackle. Also the ending... 2 years' time skip and gotou and the other chick both still seem interested in Yoshida but nothing happened in 2 years? It's like they all went to sleep for 2 years and nothing at all happened. |
| Well I guess we got a safe and happy ending. Yoshida came back home without Sayu, pretty sad for him but he saved Sayu. That was his goal afterall. A pretty good anime I guess. It was funny and wholesome. Also a bit emotional. Opening and ending were both good. 7/10 |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I was expecting an open ending of some sort and for the anime at least, it seems to be that way. Although I'm a bit indifferent with open endings, I thought this one was done decently well. Sayu's constant horny suggestions was amusing, but I do have to give Yoshida respect for resisting all the way to the end of his stay at Hokkaido. At least he was able to meet Sayu once again at the same place when he first saw her back in episode 1. =) Overall, this show felt like a rollercoaster. It had plenty of touchy subjects that it wasn't afraid to touch upon, but sometimes it didn't always execute its potential all that well. Mishima was interesting at first, but she (and Hashimoto) became nothing more than one-dimensional characters whose only purpose was to berate Yoshida for doing things wrong and it happened too many times mid-way throughout the series. It got pretty annoying at that point, sadly. =( At least Asami never went down that rabbit hole and her involvement with Sayu made me like her as a character far more than Mishima and Gotou. Plus, her natural look in the last episode was nice, too! The visuals were nice and pleasant, but the animation quality did go from good to mediocre a lot, which is a little disappointing. At least the OP/ED songs were good. Overall, I think this series is worth a 7/10. I was tempted into a 6/10, but Yoshida and Sayu really carried the show for me, so a 7/10 it is. XD |

(Adult male disappears into bathroom stall with high school girl...in uniform. Yes, officer, that stall right there!) Plus if Sayu's mom found out.....any nice feelings towards Yoshida would end, and she would call the cops on him. Just to PUNISH sayu. Calm down, bro. It's a joke considering how horny Sayu was to the very end the night before. Yoshida would have course turned her down. |
