| This author 100% has ADHD, no interaction ever feels finished, characters just disappear and pop back up like nothing happened, weird. |
| I don't like how the blonde girl is too secretive about her intentions and past motivations, but other than that it was an enjoyable watch :) |
 |
| Ok, let me first clear up some things as I see a lot of confused people here. 1st thing: this is not a comedy, far from it. The show is psychological in nature as it handles a LOT of past dramas that have morphed people into what they are now. But it is mostly wholesome (worry not, this will not turn into School Life by the end) so it's a good watch even if we need like 4 or 5 episodes to get there. 2nd thing: MC is far from being a 'average siscon or loser'. His parents died 2 years ago and both of them are still kids, nobody wanted to take them in (it was explained later on why exactly) and on top of all of that Suzu is 10 years old and still needs mom and dad to lead her trough life. So not only is the guy filling roles of both mother and father for his little sister (becasue nobody in family wanted) he needs also to go to school (in which he is constantly barraged by everyone for not wanting to hang out after school or go to clubs) and find part-time job so that he can afford them decent life if nothing else. While his aunt did take them in she is only offering shelter and a bit of money, most of the time she is not even present. And they do not want to be bother to her as well, so they are doing their best for now. How can people conclude that he is siscon and loser is beyond me. The guy is under so much pressure that it is amazing how he is handling everything so far. He is uncertain in himself exactly becasue if he makes a mistake it can cost him and his sister dearly, yet despite that he gives it his best. He should be text example on how to write good teenage MC. Now, how I feel about anime after finishing the manga recently? Animation is decent, but I can see that they are on budget here. Character models are great IMO, Suzu I think looks better here than she is in manga. And after seeing the kissing scene I think they also saved budget for really important scenes, and we will get a few of them along the road for sure. Characters are great so far, exactly as they were at the start of the manga. Only fear I have is rushing. Manga itself is not long (94 chapters in total) but it has a lot of details and smaller scenes. I know that they will cut something to match up the pace (and that seems to be the case as they will go ~8 Chapters on average per episode) I just hope that they do not cut too much. EDIT: I just saw that this is 26 episode anime and will adapt entire manga. It is a nice news, although I now wonder why all the rush in 1st episode alone? Nevertheless since it is 2 cours and 26 episodes long I expect a decent adaptation. They should not cut too much in that case and characters shoudl go trough full development at a steady pace. Overall I will give this adaptation a go. I was pleasantly satisfied with the mange by the end and I expect anime to deliver as well. Something akin to Tsumasho we had few months ago. |

| Yeeeah...Nah. I was annoyed af watching this. I could feel my cortisol levels rise. Out of the 6 named character I dislike 3 already. No thank you Watari-kun. |
| This seems pretty mid. Bro is def a sis on through and through. It’s really annoying how clingy is she. Also what’s with the watercolor borders? It’s really ugly |
As a wise man once said, "No one hates anime more than anime fans"  |
| I read the manga , I know it can be messed up at sometimes. But this show is great like that. Good adaptation so far! Tachibana is a teasing Watari like crazy lol. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| @oooo3333 I am more than happy with 26, as I remember how they had to butcher Tsumasho manga in order to get everything important for anime's 12 episodes. What they cut was not much but it did expand the characters a lot like visit to wife's parent house, daughter's first date, scenes at school etc... Hopefully from this they do not need to cut a lot as here they have double the episode number to make it good. |
| I'm lovin' this and as usual, I got drawn to the bashful, short-haired heroine again lmao |
   |
| Ngl I went into this almost fully blind so when going in I thought Tachibana was actually Naoto's sister but I suppose I was wrong, I assumed his sister would be a bit older but I guess not. Idk a very random first episode not in a bad way though, just a kinda random plot. The animation is horrible but idk this might be a interesting plot. |
| Maybe I watch too much romance anime because this first episode seems like one hundred first episodes of random anime romance; I wait to see what this anime can give us! |

| Some animes should stay as thoughts, and just thoughts. Nothing more than that, and certainly never to be wasted time on making them. |

acidbart said: @Marinate1016 it’s already stale the mc’s entire existence is stale.. as a matter of fact he completely ruins the entire story. A screaming yelling man baby who hates a girl for wrecking a garden when she was what… A TEN YEAR OLD CHILD… π. The only way they could salvage this one is by killing him off. It’s sad too because all the other characters are pretty good. From the scary aunt to the bro loving little sister. He unfortunately is a 16 year old toddler. Pass Not yet, but if it stays the same for a few more eps it will be |

i bet she is, but don't tell anyone |

| I remember that manga dropped subplot of girl being unhinged pretty fast. |
 |
| couldn't finish this episode. the make-out situation in the yard in front of his lil sis was way out of left field. watching this with my boyfriend and it really disturbed me π immediately had to turn it off. |
  |
| What just happened? Naoto's family had a garden which Satsuki ruined in the past and now she wants to apologize for what she did by... Kissing him? The dude is also too much of a pussy, not even Ichijou Raku was this bad in 2014. On the technical aspect of things, coloring, animation and sound are all super lacking. The only redeeming part of this anime is we may see underwear from time to time but that's about it. 3 episode rule starts. |
"Nobody could laugh at someone who's trying their hardest" -Machio- |
| I was not expecting a kiss, especially one with tongue in the first episode! Satsuki is pretty unhinged and she doesn't seem to give a damn about anything as she even groped Ishihara, damn. Speaking of Ishihara, it's clear that she likes Natoto but is too shy to tell him so her seeing Satsuki make out with him made it even funnier. Anyways, I enjoyed watching this premier and it looks like there will be a 3rd girl that will join this trainwreck haha. |

| I had to check it out cause of the weird title. I wasn't planning to watch this but curiosity got the best of me. All I can say is, wtf is going on. This isn't the most confusing anime of the season. Not by a long shot. But it's still kinda hard to understand what this story is supposed to be about. Ig in the end, it just really boils down to some type of harem romcom with lots of fanservice. And the main girl seems to be a stalker type which is always fun. I just don't understand what any of this has anything to do with the title lol. Maybe it'll be explained later or it's just nonsense. Anyway, why are they naked at the start of the OP? I also don't like the colors of this anime. It looks like the show's permanently in flashback mode which just looks very weird. So when there really is a flashback it looks even worse. |
| Naoto's gardening plans with Suzuhiro are going to be a lot more lively with the presence of the mischievous Satsuki Tachibana. She already surprised him with a french kiss, and it's only the first episode. At this rate Yukari's going to have a difficult time gaining his affection, and Naoto's going to have a difficult time not getting kicked out of his Aunt Tamayo's house! |
 |
| Naoto won't be able to relax now, lol. I liked the first episode; it's entertaining. There's something mysterious about Satsuki, hmm. And she's pretty, too. The opening and ending are good.  |
| I was unsure about should I watch this show or not but ig i'm gonna enjoy watching it and the OP and ED both are too good surly going to my list <3 ! |
