Half of me is saying "JUST DO IT YOU PUSSY!!!!"

but the other half is saying: "Respect."

It may take some time to get there, but the dude just opened the door to her heart. Thought this would be an annoying watch, and it might be, but might not. This story and their relationship might just mean something.

This anime is truly an anti-thesis of Angel Next Door whose female MC is very hard to get and it needs a whole season to finally become male MC's gf
Meanwhile in this anime, just in first episode both are already couple and they almost had sex...


Good thing the visual is great, unlike that Natsukawa anime.

I like both male and female MC in this show, they look fun to watch together ^.^

The way she has been showing is not bad....She is only ready to do it because of others behavior or relationship.....But it's nice that she actually want fair and good relationship and mc will really do it and how he will do it will be the curiousity of each episode.

I knew that tourist gonna hate it.
I'm not saying that I'm a fan of main girl. Precisely her mindset, but the comedy part was executed perfectly.
Of course, I'm aware that she's probably a completely deferent person, so this part makes me even more curious what will happen next.

Wow, another character with a generic design and a generic personality. How original. Someone with a bland personality CAN become a good character (Someone like Gojo Wakana from MDUD) but I'm honestly so tired of these characters. They feel so formulated (probably because they're supposed to be self inserts).

I'll give it a few more episodes, but yeah, I may not complete this.

I hope our MALE MC help her to find what a true dating or relationship. Then she will understand. Lets hope anime will be good in the end as I think main MC will help her a lot. As he did not judge her for her past.

first, two things out of the way. I know the story a bit, read the manga. Runa is absolutely delightful, and her story is tragic, but not unusual for a broken home child. There is hope for a redeeming arc of sorts that could work very well.
Second, the voice acting for MC is atrocious. High pitched stuttering of socialy debilitated person. AGAIN! I somehow didn't feel like that about him as I read him, but here it goes.
It certainly seems true once again that voice acting can make story seem cringier than it actually is.

So if I understand right form her past relationships she has developed a f*cked up understanding of what a relationship is because people only were after her body and MC he's gonna teach her what a real relationship is where you're after the person not their body. But here come my thought and the actual me trying to understand her. Does she have trauma or is she just genuinely stupid. Well I definitely calling her a bimbo. But like how she constantly being in relationships. So why didn't she learn form them? Sounds like a fear of abandonment and loneliness to me ah and the need for constant validation.

First episode quite surprised me - in a positive way. It had a lot of cute and funny moments, the animations look good imo and the artstyle is pure eyecandy.

Runa's character design and personality are very kawaii. Stereotype gal waifu, nothing new here but still cute. Ryuuto looks like 08/15 romcom male MC and behaves like that most of the time. Lots of clichés with the characters and plot here.

Although it again is a cliché, I quite liked the tiny little twist that Runa indeed slept with her previous boyfriends but only to please them and maybe get a little bit of love. Poor girl! I'd like to see more of that kinda psychological take of this show.

I also really liked Ryuuto's communication towards Runa in the end of the episode. It's refreshing to see anime characters actually speak their mind in a relationship / school romcom setting, especially the shy male lead. It's nice he doesn't intend to use her and take advantage of her like the other boys before (even if, deep inside him, he really wanted to just gibe in to her "offers").

This probably isn't going to be my favorite anime of all time but if the characters maybe get more depth and the animation quality doesn't decrease dramatically, I'll say it's a solid, sweet romcom for me.

@Tsinelas I totally agree with you. Most people in this forum just talk about her bodycount but that's not the point of the show at all.

Runa may be well versed in fullfilling other people's needs but then she seems quite naïve and inexperienced concerning mutual feelings. This naïvety could be a coping mechanism for rejection she had to suffer (in her childhood or just the "boyfriends" who dumped her), maybe even trauma.

Maybe we'll get more infos in future episodes, I really hope so.

Here we're again with the looser wimp introverted industrial waste protagonist having a crush on the super duper popular girl of the whole class if not the whole school. With being that seems like the author gave many loose screws in the fmc's head.
I mean how dumb would you've to be to not know the meaning of "like" and whatever tf was that.
This fmc is like a girl that can be played by any guy at any moment.
Her dress-up is full gyaru but her behaviour is genky wtf
And she's more dumb even than a genky type.
Without her looks she's nothing but a piece of crap good for nothing

I think whether this show is good or not will fall first in the dynamics of the couple and also how the mc grows. Cuz right now he is kinda generic, his personality and his design pretty much are the typical mc in this kind of stories, even more in ln adaptations. Lets see, maybe it can be a pleasant surprise for this season.

episode 1 was enough to create expectations about the anime, and just from this first episode we were able to more or less base ourselves on what the story might be and compare them with some similar animes. But expectations will always be high and I hope they don't disappoint. But I liked the first episode so I'll like how the story unfolds. We'll see, expectations are always high, don't disappoint

Sadly couldn’t watch this one day of so I moved it to Saturday, but holy shit I wasn’t expecting the episode 1 thread to pop off this much lol, I guess it has been a while since we got a gyaru romance show but still kinda surprising to me. This first episode was good one too, it’s ENGI so it doesn’t look particularly amazing with animation but I do really like the art, it’s also very reminiscent of “My First Girlfriend is a Gal” which is definitely a dose of nostalgia lol, as well as “Married Couple but not Lovers” from last year’s Fall season and I quite enjoyed that one.

And our boy Ryuto is already winning big time with his confession working out. I was excited to see his friends’ reactions to it working for him and that didn’t disappoint, goofs probably feel stupid now lol. The biggest thing tho was the reveal of how Runa has been with her past boyfriends, at first it seemed kinda funny but really it’s pretty sad, this poor girl has the completely wrong idea about about relationships and hopefully Ryuto can show her what a good one is like, and I think that will be a delight to watch over the course of this show. It looks like there could be a potential harem from the OP, but as with other shows with this inclusion, it will be fun to have other girls but we know who has won already lol.

And the OP at the end was very nice, Maaya Uchida has done some of my favorite anime songs and this one sounds like it’s gonna be part of that list, and speaking of music I noticed the ost in this show is very nice as well, like not the kind of music I was expecting but it’s great lol. Looking forward to more of this one!

I really hope this anime is a cautionary tale. Imagine thinking you could fix a girl (underage I might add) that's broken enough to sleep with just about anyone, pretty much immediately after meeting them. There's some serious damage there that will require long years of therapy to somewhat mitigate the fallout. Then again, this is fiction, and probably wish fulfillment on the part of the writer so they will live happily ever after I guess.

Trash. The horrible voice acting really clinched it for me to not force myself to watch an otherwise bad show.
Can we get past the cliche anti-sex boy protagonist already? The protagonist, looks, acts and sounds exactly like about 50 other awful MCs from the past few years.



Mod Edit: Removed baiting.
@Sokah

Yeah same old boring, cowardly main character that I’ve seen dozens of times before.

As always though, I’ll give it a fair shot.

At what point did Ryuto declare he was going to "fix" Runa?

This show can go two ways. First is the likely boring shallow neet fantasy of "omg the pretty popular girl likes nerdy me! Wow time for an awkward goofy and cute adventure where we tease ecchi but nothing really happens to the end! Oh boy!" She is just outoing and nice, no more depth there. Wow you called me cute, sure ill date you! The second is more of an interesting explanation of modern sex and romance. She is popular and pretty but feels like she needs validation from a relationship. So she always goes out with men and then thinks they just want sex so to keep them she puts out easily. But this means they see here as a sex object and dont value her so they lose interest and she never forges a connection. This creates a loop where she is more and more willing to date and put out to try to get any validation. She is at the end of her ropes, putting on her happy popular mask when the nerd she doesnt know asks her out and she thinks why not? Then he doesnt require sex and tries to value her and grow close. And they both learn about each other and how to be in a healthy relationship and forge a connection where sex is part of growing close, not the end. That would be great, but unlikely.

Generic setting and character designs but the fmc is interesting .

Mostly gyaru fmc are shown as innocent and get extra flustered about intimacy but here she is experienced but with a twist that she felt it was an obligation while dating . Her understanding about dating sure is twisted idk if she is dumb or acts this way due to an incident in her past . But there is room for improvement mc is involved in a relationship first time and fmc is involved in a genuine relationship first time . I just hope author gives them as much redeeming qualities as possible going forward . Obviously some are gonna hung up on her bodycount that's inevitable

@hannibal_l this anime is just the author desperately attempting to disprove the whole "you can't turn a hoe into a housewife" phrase. They can try adding as many redeeming qualities as they want, still won't erase her body count though.

I mean yeah it's messed up but women getting manipulated easily isn't new i think this is one of those cases? Of course you can't use her past to justify her sleeping with multiple men but atleast it'll give us a better understanding of her character. I'll give it a chance and hope to see them address why she acts this way .

@borderliner My apologies if I wasn't clear in my previous post. When I see a nice guy trying his best to have a proper relationship with the village bicycle, I assume he wants a long term relationship. Maybe I am mistaken.

Runa is underage as per western standards, set at 18 years of age.

I've seen my fair share of promiscuous women in my youth and they were to a fault, broken. All had some major issue that caused them to behave in self destructing ways. One became a heroin addict that completely destroyed her life. Another had to sabotage every relationship because she felt unworthy.

It took me a very long time to realise that women are very fragile emotionally. I blame the feminist media, portraying women as stronger than men in every way. In reality, women take a lot of damage from casual sex and it ruins their chances at a successful relationship.

@borderliner no aspects of that study suggest that the data or models used are biased, but sure

https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/ke5fj/

"The relationship between premarital sex and divorce is highly significant and robust. Compared to people with no premarital partners other than eventual spouses, those with six or more partners exhibit the highest divorce risk, followed by those with one to two partners.

@borderliner You're strangely defensive for someone talking about an anime on the internet. The age of consent in South Africa is 16. The same in some states of the US. Given this logic, and that the main characters are in high school in Japan, best case scenario is that Runa is already 18 years of age. Since she's had multiple boyfriends (conservative assumption of 10), each with a relationship period of 2.5 months, this would have made her a minor during her first relationship. If this was real life, her life would be significantly impacted by her choices to date, regardless of being a minor or not.

Look, if you want to believe that women can sleep around and not be affected by it, all the power to you. I'm not here to preach to a wayward generation. Most people, myself included, learns the hard lessons in life through own mistakes. Make your own mistakes and learn to live with the consequences.
