From the description, I thought the plot was cute and interesting.

But the way the girl acts makes me cringe so much. Is it just me?? It is so weird when she puts on these weird "acts" and the way she interacts with the male MC is just so unnatural and awkward. It doesn't feel cute or funny, it's just really really awkward to watch. I could not get past episode 1 due to the cringe. Like please tell me I am not the only one finding this show super strange and uncomfortable to watch.

No show made me cringe as much as Watamote, but this one is a close second.

It's too cringe, but I watch it anyway because I see it as a 24-minute weekly punishment for myself.

I slightly cringed sometimes, the 1st episode was good, but then it became kind of stale.

It doesn't make me cringe, but I am pretty disappointed that the dude just wants a harem.

My hope was that he'd be lonely with no friends so this girl would pretend to be lots of friends and they'd eventually fall for one another, but nope; dude just wants a harem.

... and now that I'm typing it out, it does seem a bit cringey, doesn't it?

accidentally voted the wrong one, should have been “no cringe at all”

Modern definition of cringe is a feeling of awkwardness, embarrassment, uncomfortableness.

No, not once did I feel this in these episodes.

Knowing the tropes for female characters in other previous anime, this show is banking off of those to create comedy, humorously having one girl, who also wants to be an actress, imitate all those tropes herself, to impress her senpai who is basically an otaku.

It has been so fun, cute, and enjoyable to see this female MC work hard to master all these tropes, so she can provide a one girl “harem” for the man she likes. (He ain’t looking at other girls ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Maybe people just don’t get it and can’t see the brilliance of the show and the female 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.

It's weird, perhaps. But it's a fictional series, maybe it isn't your type of comedy or genre, bcs most audience enjoy it a lot (as survey reflect)

Having a harem it’s like a joke “dream”. Tsundere-chan and others are cute “sides” but firstly he likes real Rin and he already hinted in episodes. Just wait few eps and you’ll see

I'm waiting for it to turn dark when she dons her "Murder-chan" personality and kills the MC. the rest can be about her other personality's sorrow.

Move on, dont care, you have no life, stop watching if you dont like something and dont start a thread that shits all over an image of a girl that is trying to win over her senpai with cute impressions of girl types she isnt but can play out.

The thing about a girl tries to act as different person to make that guy feel it's a harem is really good. I mean she likes him but she just tries to hide it behind her acting skills.

Did you think (and hope) the girl would attract actual other girls to create a harem for him? That's how I initially interpreted the description (too) and exactly the reason why I didn't start this show at first. But after seeing the score and people's first comments I gave it a try and I absolutely love this. I think it's incredibly cute; Rin is one of my favourites this season and her senpai is so sweet to her. I just hope he will fall for Rin soon (or realise he's falling for her).

I kind of agree, but I think the way he goes along with it makes it watchable. I have low tolerance for cringe and the very concept behind the show is cringe, but it seems to work in context. I can't see it working beyond a single season though.

Maybe if you switched back to a relational database like everyone else you'd understand. ๐Ÿ˜

At the beginning I thought the show revolved around Eiji. I was ready to drop the show but before I drop a show I’ll watch 2 to 3 episodes. I’m glad I gave it a second chance because I actually got to see the bond between Eiji and Rin in episode 2.

Well it looks like you just might be in the minority here.. ๐Ÿ˜‚ since 75% of people seem to disagree perhaps stopping and taking a look at why everyone thinks you’re incorrect may be in order. Are you sure you’re grasping the premise of the show? Honestly those of you that think THIS is cringe probably can’t enjoy most anime. I think this one is smart, exceedingly cute, and leaves me with a smile on my face.

I think this is exactly right. Those of you with all this “cringe” simply fail to understand what the show is about and the overall reason for Rin-chan doing what she does lol. I’d even go as far as having those people look up the word “cringe” just to reaffirm you’ve got that definition down..

I won’t lie, I was a bit disappointed when I found out in ep 1 that she doesn’t have a disorder and is just acting because she’s thirsty for mc. VA is top tier tho so I’m still watching
