For once a blue haired girl isn't judged based on hair color

This is pretty cute so far. I don't understand why they aren't dating shm they're perfect for each other

Himari is so cute ;-; she's not the typical FL you'd expect and its quite refreshing. She reminds me of Marin <3

The 2nd girl seems intriguing though. She's definitely into Yuu and putting pressure on Himari.

So Suzushiro-san is Himari again in this show. I really love her voice.

From my experience boy and girl relationship can survive! I've been friends with this girl since 19yo, through college and our first job. Over the years, we still meet and catch up. Even now we are both 31yo.
@bassyey As a girl myself, its nearly impossible. Y'all are one of the lucky ones bc someone always catches feelings

the first episode is fun to watch and how the interaction between the characters is interesting. the romantic comedy series offered is very unique, the blue himari is very cute, funny, but aggressive and the chemistry between himari and yuu is very good.

Promising start. So far all characters seem fun, but Himari sure takes the lead.
For "just another romcom", it feels somewhat fresh.

This season, it’s a fun comedy anime to catch each week.

But honestly, I didn’t get what they were talking about at the bus stop at the end of the episode. I really hope it doesn’t end up being some cheesy love triangle.

@cooldogmom I understand that. That's what most people think too especially when the girl is really pretty, like my friend is. But the thing is I feel like I got immune to seeing and having physical contact with beautiful woman because of her lol. We both had partners too.

My only wish is she introduce me to her pretty friends.

I hope the MC and himari does NOT end up together. Hate her guts. The way she talks all about friendship when the moment he stops making the flower accessories she says it'll end, she's wanting way too much for her so "precious" friendship. Hope MC gets to stay with that new girl at the end of the episode.
Himari also wants mc's wife to accept their "friendship"?? She's unreasonable at the very least with that selfishness. I'm watching that looking forward to her downfall.

I loved this episode, the lighting, music choice, and flashback moments with an almost nostalgic tone. Himari is the type of girl I'd want to date. She's just so clingy and teasing. Something about that I just really like. I think the comment above me said it best she is just the perfect little gremlin.

The main lead is very entertaining once again in these romcoms. Reminds me a bit of Makeine in the character dynamics but with a more focus on traditional romcom goodness. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping Himari wins.

One thing I love is inner monolouges from Male Romcom Protagnists, and this shows seems to have quite a bit of that so far, which is perfect for me.

For once, I can have an image to go along with my comments since I was being a pirate today.

Yeah strong Yanami Anna vibes from Himari. I have such a soft spot for the goofball teasing type. Himari's very expressive. I think if the show spends its time focusing on Himari learning the difference between physical attraction and real love that might be a very interesting arc.

This episode was pretty split between Himari and Yuu as far as perspective goes, we got to see quite a bit of both of their internal thoughts. I prefer this to, say, Blue Box, which mostly keeps the girls' perspective hidden except for a few episodes and forces you to just spiral with the MC. I think that's one of the reasons so many people liked Hina over Chii in that show, Chii was just totally inscrutable.

The animation and art look nice and I'm really enjoying the personalities of everyone but Yuu, he's just a little boring. Hopefully he gets more development. Show us why these girls are interested in him, other than that he's a diligent worker. So often the MCs in these shows are bland author-inserts, totally lacking in charisma. We need more nice cute boys who deserve all this attention.

That said, I love the vibe. I would imagine this will be a fairly straightforward love-triangle romcom but as long as the characters stay strong this has a lot of promise. Looking forward to more.

Leave it to Sayumi Suzushiro to voice a genki girl xD.

Man, Himari was perfect with long hair... of course they had to nerf her smh. Gotta say, I'm not sure if I'm on board this ship tbh, I'm usually a fan of characters like Himari but I'm not sure I like the combo of clingy and affectionate while dating other guys and having that promise of getting together with the MC when they're 30 if they're single. Like, if you're going to date... date already!

Soooo... If I'm being honest, I think I like Rion better for now.

First episode didn't leave me that excited but let's see where this goes.

Yeah, good vibes, all around. If nothing else, I hope they will give me more of that mono no aware feeling I get from shows like these. I attached an image for those unfamiliar with the concept.

I like Himari's voice and character design, but I don't enjoy the whole "he belongs to me but just as a friend" aspect or the "comedic" parts. The main guy was created with everything set to default except he likes flowers and making jewellery. I feel like this is going to be a very tedious watch.

These kind of anime with a different initial approach are definitely interesting to watch once in a while.
The starting point of he relationship between Yuu and Himari isn't Love in first sight or an act of kindness, it is just a friendly and fun instance of getting interested in the hobbies of the oher person and the same vibes. It was fun to see these continuous friendly acts throughout the first episode and the vibes similar to Hina from Blue box( it still hurts when I remember the 24th ep).
Anyways, interested in how it progresses throughout the first season,
So, Can a boy-girl friendship survive? No, it can't.

That was a super cute and very fun episode, with solid writing and voice acting.
The MC dream is pretty nice (he reminds me a bit of Gojo from My Dress-Up Darling) and his friend supporting him is adorable.
Lookis like an interesting love triangle is going to happen.
Great start :)

Sorry if i didn't write correctly. In my opinion, I think it's a little bit strange the type of anime of romance that they are writing, like the scenary of doing the accesories to open a shop is interesting but it can't be compatible with an amorous triangle, i want to be wrong with my speculations.

First episode done and it started off decent mhm.

FMC Himari is a fun girl to watch and yes, she sure is clingy to the MC Natsume at a lot of times knowing they're bffs. Being an accessory master definitely sounds fun to watch for.

Curious about how "the first girl wins" trope is going to play out here seeing she has short hair added into the mix.

This looks great if I do say so, the animation and story seem to be quite good.

Also love Himari, she seems like such a fun character full of life and noise which is a great pair for our quiet and loner like MC Yuu.

Oh my god! Himari made me enjoy every single second of this episode! She made me fall in love with the anime, and I think she might be the only character I’ve liked so much that I’d consider putting her in my top 10, just from one episode!

In general, I really love cheerful and optimistic characters. I always feel like those kinds of characters make hard things seem easy, soften the tough moments, and make the impossible feel possible!

I like characters who constantly remind you of the positives, and Himari truly has all those traits.

Also, I think the ending might go viral, people really love girls doing TikTok-style dances. Anyway, I’m super excited for this anime and will definitely follow it passionately. I hope episode two comes out soon!

interesting dialog, but flash back & forward with their personalities feel rather jumpy disjointed.
Inuzuka very inu style clingy & fun energetic. talk of marriage yet friendzone quite odd tho.
Natsume became quite cool just in 2 years, but still reserved.
Feel like Bisque with mc focused on the craft, with his friends collaborating.
Enomoto kinda scary. Shinji such a gaslighter troll lol. fun OP dance.

Felt bad about the guy cause the pretty girl pretty much immediately best friendzoned him. But she's gonna marry him if he's still single at 30? Wtf was that. This is more than mixed signals I'd say. But Himari is still such a fun character. I like her upbeat personality.

I was wondering how tf this show was gonna progress when the main girl is like that but then the show threw Enomata into it. She's like the total opposite of Himari. Maybe a tsundere type. However, she could be interesting in her own way, especially if she starts dating Yu. I'd like that to happen soon to see Himari's reaction. How did Himari know Yu was talking to her at the vending machine tho. Was she still spying on him? Creepy.

This was a good first episode. I'm hooked. Don't think I've seen many anime with this type of setup where the mc has some type of business in high school. I hope the anime will deliver. The OP at the end was cute.

BWA-HA!

This is actually funny and I like Himari already. She's such a gremlin and so clingy.

A guy making flower accessories and having a girl bestfriend to model for him? Cool! I love when someone has a passion for a unique hobby.

I do wonder what's with the 30 years old marriage thing? Himari is way too energetic, pushing Yuu to experience romance with someone else (even tho she probably likes him). I've seen too many of these kind of stuffs to think that Himari might be sick or something, I HOPE IM OVERTHINKING.

First episode and a Love Triangle drama is already brewing up, im in!

I mean.. she kinda dug up her own grave there lol. But surprisingly, Himari's feelings for Yuu is actually so sincere and wholesome.

Looks like this time it's not a case of the female protagonist being reluctant to make a move, but where she's still unaware and confusing her feelings. And the appearance of Enomoto looks to be the catalyst to her realizing her feelings.

O anime em si é bom. A interação dos protagonistas é muito boa — bem fluida e divertida de se ver — e o tempo voa assistindo. O ritmo é tão bom que você nem percebe a hora passar.

Só que, a partir do momento em que o protagonista é o típico bobão que não percebe as coisas, começa a ficar meio forçado. Ele vive recusando a protagonista o tempo todo, o que, confesso, chega a ser desanimador.

Sem contar que, no início, achei a relação deles meio forçada: ela simplesmente começou a ajudar ele do nada e pronto. Deve haver algum motivo para isso no futuro, mas vamos ver como se desenvolve mais pra frente.

Ah, e a menina de cabelo preto também é uma personagem muito legal, mas achei super forçada a maneira como ela começou a gostar do protagonista. Foi uma desculpa meio esfarrapada só pra criarem uma rival para a de cabelo azul.

really funny, amazing start. I love Himari's personality so much, new comfort anime attained!!!!!

I like Natsume's passion for accessories, and it reminds me of Gojo from Dress-Up Darling. All these rom com mcs have some sort of passion, and the love interests all seem to love the mc for their passion. Interesting kind of formula (if you can call it that) that I've found.

Might this stem from the desire for others to love what you love? Lol sorry for that arm-chair psychologist take XD
