Obligation Cake! Absolutely priceless. Looking forward to the next episode. From what I've read of the manga, it's going to be entertaining or at least special. <3


I agree! I laughed so hard when they showed the cake! Poor Haruki, LOL.
So cute! It actually makes me want to bake a cake that says "Obligation" for Valentine's Day :-p
If only someone would get the joke... LOL

This is surprisingly good, especially comedy part, considering i'm dude who never fully understood shoujo genre.

Damn, this show is hysterical. I loved Otani's melt down when Haruka showed up - "Even if I kill you, God will forgive me!" LMAO

The "obligation" cake and Haruka's WTF? reaction was priceless.

I don't know how they keep them separated from for 24 episodes, but so far, this is funny, and that Haruka guy is wierd. I wish that Otani accepted the chocolate though, but whatever... Looks like a new girl comes next episode, this'll be good

Ahhh, jalousy :P

That new guy is such a weirdo.

Risa as confuse as always.

Ootani is also so stubborn xD

Poor him, when his ex made him that declaration.

Next episode, it look like a new girl make it's apparition and she seem cute. But I guess that to compensate, she's a bitch.

Yet again another ridiculously funny episode. XD Otani was a bit too rude this time, though, but at least he apologized in the end.

I like how this Anime doesn't beat around the bush.
I really thought that Haruka is gay and will be revealed in a comical way.
Not cool, Otani, but at least he said sorry real quick.

she's not that type of girl. i thought you would have gotten it by now. this is a good shoujo, but don't go making it like some FMA plot or anything.

i really liked this one! so many funny moments! i am really liking the friendship that MCs have. it's just an enjoyment to see.

Inb4 Haruka does some voodoo stuff with those dolls he pulled out xD

I like how Haruka treats Risa, he's the type of guy who would love a girl no matter what. He took the time to deliver a bento to Risa and he probably made the bento too. Too bad Risa has more click with Otani, I dislike that guy.

That 🎂 scene at the end was hilarious. obligation

I tried to watch this anime because it was apparently funny but it's not funny at all and I don't get the hole he's short and she's tall thing it's a bad story line and it's not very interesting and I think overall it's very bad I would like to see maid Sama get another season then this be anything but sadly it isn't harsh world we live in

"A guy who has to be protected by a girl isn't a man."

Hmmff. That was a little shallow of you, Otani... don't stoop down to Haruka's level by artificially judging other guys.

Well, the episode was being quite decent until this Haruka guy received more screentime. Seriously, what an annoying kid and his superiority complex related to his height doesn't help in the slightest either.

Well, we now have our required and chicle love triangle drama but it seems it will evolve into a love square next episode... yay?

omfg this anime is HILARIOUS

i love haruka's character, he really balances out and contrasts their blossoming friendship/rltnship i feel like he is pushing the plot forward, so well-written! also their shared love for umibouzu is so relatable & cute! and i love the pacing, this is truly a great early 2000s romcom at heart, so easy to watch and nothing is dragged out longer than it needs to be. currently a strong 8/10 for me & i love the VA!







but i’ll probably remember over and over again

Not as strong as the first two episodes, for example i wished to have a longer arcade scene and Haruka seems a little too full of himself. But the main couple just works so well, even as separate characters. It must also be the last name for her. Itsuki, Hanayo, Risa... Every Koizumi i met in anime history until now is so good.

Their constant bickering is funny to watch!
Even though Haruka is tall and handsome, his personality is kinda bad. Ootani has the edge but is still unsure of his feelings toward Koizumi.
Akemi's voice perfectly matches any anime girl who looks like Nami. I can't help but think of Koizumi as Nami who got Isekai'd in this show. Haha
