Very cute first episode. Let's see if this one finally breaks the trend of Blue haired waifu losing.

A healthy production? From JC Staff? In 2025? Just a few 2nd key animators and a small staff list yet it looked consistent, this is blasphemy!

Very good beginning episode of a series which began cute and entertaining!

Yuu seems Casanova reincarnated paying the heaviest karma :)

Himari and Rion are lovely, playful and pretty girls. Team Himari!

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Peak cliche setting but whatever I would kill to have a girl cling on me like that even if she friend zoned me for life LMAO
Answering the question it asks friendship between compatible men and women can last as long as they introduce benefits in their relationship. Lovers are just friends with benefits.

I really like the main girl she's such a gremlin. And her VA is also doing great.

What I don't like is, based on her original artwork, JC Staff nerfed her. Why do that?

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.

Also, can someone explain whey the main female character has blue hair and what it means about there character?

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

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.

Solid start the premise for the direction that the show will go isn't all that clear yet. Not sure if it'll lean into the business entrepreneur side or the romance side more. Personally I prefer the former because it sounds more interesting. I like the characters interactions I think...not sure how long it will stay appealing I could definitely see myself losing interest in Inuzaka's character because it's so fantastical. The potential is there though which is good. I'm not familiar with the source material so for now I'll remain hopeful :)

I gotta say the episode started strong and slighty derailed into madness but I think this show will be incredible if it don't go overboard with the comedy. Like I can bare it with Himari just fine because its kinda her character but with the long black hair and the other dude if they also join in on the over the top comedy it will kinda make the show annoying. But only time will tell.

Generally I love the plot, In the first place the concept of having a male character making accessories I absolutely adore and then having a great pairing between Yuu and Himari is amazing. They really give off the no boundaries type. Im curious to see how Himari acts with others and see the difference to how she acts with Yuu plus im interested to see the gradual development into both of them falling for eachother.

Generally I think this show has something amazing going on but could be ruined by the over the top comedy.

Well, that was... awkward. Yu must be some kind of esoteric master if he can stand a girl gluing herself to him like that, he should take Medaka Kuroiwa as a disciple. And as for Himari, sheesh, girl, at least keep your legs together when you drape yourself all over him.

I think it's a fairly strong start. There are a few recurring themes but overall I think the setup is offering something new that I can genuinely consider watching. Animation isn't bad: not anything out of the ordinary but still decent enough. I do worry that I can already see how it'll end up but that'll have to wait

God, Himari is so cute, what a gremlin.

Another Himari for 2 consecutive seasons and they're both genki and have the same voice actor lmao.

A blue haired girl and childhood friend, it's so over or so we think, I hope Himari actually wins, not to say Rion is bad, she seems great, but we need this win, for history.

How light is Himari though, Yu is carrying her like nothing and Rion is vice gripping her head and ragdolling her with one hand lmao.

I hope this stays good, cause I really enjoyed this premiere, please be like Oregairu or Blue Box with well executed love triangles.

@ejleon Afaik? Rion is trying to see if Yuu is available. She's admired whoever made her bracelet due it's beauty & what her Momma (presumably no longer with us) said.
Himari is deflecting, making jokes, not wanting to face her own feeling for Yuu which are FAR beyond being friends. But she's immature & frightened.

Himari loves Yuu's passion about his crafting, and thinks no other girl will ever see that. However? Rion does see that, in fact she fell in love with someone she'd never even met. That's the basis of her unusual question at the bus stop. But she knew Himari knows who made her bracelet...

Blue hair (or green, purple, pink & etc) is an "anime thing".
iirc there's a saying that "the girl with blue hair always finishes second". I don't think that though.

This is terrific! OP and ED are very good, the comedy is very funny, the romance will be "sizzlin" at a minimum!

The MC boy is quiet, but not a pushover! The MC girl girls is boisterous, but genuine in her feelings. The 3rd wheel is both quiet and boisterous, she's very interesting!

I totally ship Yuu + Mimari, they're adorable together! But a Rion + Himari ending would also make me very happy!

I had this idea right from the start:

Thank you for responding and explaining, I appreciate it.

But I thought Himari asked Rion if she likes him, right outside the school gate, and she responded “No!”?

So the conversation after was confusing to me, I was not understanding her about loving someone she never met, when she previously denied liking him.

Did she suddenly realize it was Yuu at that moment or something ?

Reminds me of Makeine.

She's more aggressive than the guy...

Finally, a new entertaining 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.

Can’t wait to see how much this relationship will last. I mean, Natsume and Himari seem to get along very well, she even supports him in his flower accessories shop and so far, everything is okay.

That girl, Enocchi, might change everything and be interested in Natsume. Enjoyable episode and I hope this anime won’t disappoint.

Can they stop copy & pasting MC designs bruh I'm tired of seeing MCs with the same black hair and bangs. At least this one has more personality than the others though. He reminds me of Gojo(My dress up darling) with his crafty hobby, which I like. Hopefully it gets more interesting because right now it seems just your typical romcom
