the mom is the best girl. welp i'm just glad it's over. i knew from the shaky start that i was expecting a bit much from this show and the animation was ass as well, even the animation during the hand holding this episode made me lol but i guess progress is progress. 3/10 out of generosity, truly the romance anime of all time.

This was a let-down for me, the finale was simply that aika and sajou patched their relationship and now are friends and for this to happen we waited from episode 1 till 12.

school romance comedies are already predictable enough without this show
at least the character design is cute, right?

Ah damn! I’m happy for Sajo but this EP also officially sunk Fuka ship. It’s a bad day for rain.

Anyhow. It’s been a great ride. I liked the interaction between the characters a lot. Felt genuine in most parts.

This show fell off so hard after episode 6 that I don't even know what to say. I feel like they wasted so many episodes on the wrong things, I was expecting for something to happen during those fireworks but nope.

Truly mundane to the end.

Aika didn't need to make much effort to win however, it's good that she took action. She finally closed their relationship as she retrieved his attention and love.

Shitty anime. Glad I finished it so I can move on from it. 2/10
@jaerard_o really bad one here. 1 or 2/10 for me. I would have liked more red-haired tsundere, or harem or ecchi. But I got none. No story either. there was just, nothing at all.

"I stopped simping a toxic girl just to throw away my development and simp her again: The Animation"

I really don't get why a lot of people here liked Natsukawa. Please touch grass and realize that girls like her don't like the guy, they just want the attention back.
The show made her look like she just realized her true feelings and a healthy relationship is coming, but people don't change that fast and eventually she will return being the toxic girl she was.

It had a fresh premise, but it ended up being as generic as all other romcoms

For me the end of the story felt forced/rushed mainly due to the fact that the FMC barely had any screentime and was mostly tsun with no dere which just made her annoying. They geve her character developement in the last few eps while I feel it should have been better paced. Overall a 5/10 for me. It wasn't bad but neither was it great.

What's bothering more is the half-assed animation. I feel like I'm watching hentai.


As for the story, it seems the LN is still ongoing so there is more than this? About what? Their relationship as a couple or anything?

The anime itself could have been better it wasn't bad tho but i think it's on the level where most of us won't remember it in a year, harsh thing to say i know.
The character where pretty interesting but to little background about them i would have liked to know a bit more about the side characters as well.

I guess Anime was created to advertise LN because LN has more character developments and also tells stories about other characters like Wataru's sister so I recommend reading LN if you are still interested.

While the animation is rather bad, I'm really fond of the characters relationship, even if it's something like a copy-pasta for some reason.

However, the only favourite thing I like would be Sajo becoming a realist instead of idiotically swooning always towards Aika. 6~<≠7/10

The VA's are rather stiff but I guess that's how they really should be. If not for the animation, their relationships would really look like a natural occurrence in their daily lives.

I actually thought it was going to be something like a love triangle of the three main characters from the 1st episode. I'm glad they didn't go there.

Overall, it is still interesting to watch this kind of series.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

bruh Ichinose and Fuka left the pair to their devices but then proceeded to come out and look moments later anyways lmao.

The timing of the fireworks sheesh. Though this time it didn't drown out what the characters were saying lol.

Welp, that's the end ig, it was okay. Kinda curious about what Wataru's and Aika's relationship would look like if they dated (also RIP Fuka ship lmao). Maybe it'll happen in the manga as I'm reading it lol.

Never ending plan to watch list...

Well when i started watching this after the first episode i thought it was gonna be fresh start for our protagonist from the simp life but over the course of time ,he was back to square one

the storytelling was below average and everything else was pretty generic
But the some the tsundere element of the main female protagonist was a bit too much in my opinion

The pace of story also was rushed

Well what to expect it generic rom-com.

This was a very weird show.

The premise of simp liberation, characters and their personalities(Kai & Fuuka best girls), the tsun tsun, MC is quite all right too. All of those building blocks are great.

The story however is a clusterfuck. If there is story to begin with. even for SoL, I feel its disjointed and goes nowhere. No consequences of action.
No buildup, no payoff. Stuff ("personal growth" with heavy "") just happens without cause. I dunno, it was cute to look at, but I didn't "get" it.

it could have been handled better. But it's not.
next!

I found the way and how the situations occurred in the plot interesting, however the dialogue left something to be desired in some parts.
For me, the show improved significantly when the MC started working at the bookstore.
In terms of genre, I would add slice of life, because it is clear that it is something very light without that strong climax that we see in many novels.

An animation error in a finale? Sajo was talking to Kei at the door but his mouth wasn't moving. Im not the only one to notice am I?

Airi was cute running Sajo to the ground lol

Not sure why people are saying it's not clear they are together. The after credit speech told you he did get to be with Aika and that him just living his own life is what got him to be with her. But yes they basically told you not showed you their relation, they only looked slightly better than they were. I get the point of what was said but the way things were done where I really can't feel for Aika even though I kind of understand why she was that way it just is too weird and not really something that hits you on an emotional level. I was hoping early on Sajo would get what he wanted to be with Aika but him winding up with Aika and her still treating him in a way that makes him feel bad her being so uptight, the chemistry on screen isn't there. So she before pushed others away because she was focused on other things uhh okay. What other things? Doing well in school right? I dont know how it was in the source but the anime just completely failed at having the audience care about Aika's feelings and situation beyond the most thin surface level and Sajo doesn't even seem all that happy as you should expect him to, it feels like he's still walking on eggshells. Sure I can sympathize with Aika but I don't feel for the situation how it was portrayed. I get it seemed to be implied her mom had financial troubles but we are left just guessing. Why? Was this series just far too short on length and budget to actually properly tell a story instead of giving this weird thing where everything feels like it's not well connected? Even something as simple as getting a job that kind of just came out of nowhere, if he's not doing much why does he even want a job to begin with especially when he's heartbroken and acting like he's on the verge of suicide? Did I miss something?

I also don't get people saying him winding up with Aika is removing character development. You people make no sense whatsoever. The point is that he expanded his social interactions to include more people and not be overly focused only on Aika at all times. He still has character development and so does Aika though hers is more mild id say where she only gained some self awareness and is trying to be a little less harsh but still is kind of not a very good relationship you can feel happy about. .

This is disappointing. Not bad just disappointing because it had a lot of potential id say just it didnt seem to live up to it. It was good early on but it just started going downhill. It did manage to keep me interested at least and had some fun moments.
