| Oof... So they actually go for love triangle route... |
| I think I'm going to watch this the whole way through, though man... I ain't sure about the whole middle school crush thing. Next episode preview seems to indicate that it won't be as heavy as people here are making it out to be. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.    |
That was pretty much expected to be honest. The drama is needed to make it interesting. It would get repetitive if it was only about thier innocent dates and showing how cute Runa is. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I'm disappointed the author felt they had to throw something so contrived as the "middle school crush" into the mix so quickly. Is unpopular nerd boy at the apex of a love triangle really where they're going with this, how fucking unique!? Hope I'm wrong... |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| It’s fine. Very typical mono-romance episode with the overly wet protagonist whose name this time is Ryuto. I do kind of like this episode though for including a scene where Runa is clearly delighted at hearing Ryuto gush on about sports cars, which does show that she’s as interested in him as he is in her. Next week will be interesting seeing as Ryuto’s former crush has transferred in AND he has Runa’s gal pal watching him like a hawk. |
| This episode was definitely better than the first one. It had a rough start, but it picked up a bit as it progressed. I'm no high school relationship guru, but I'm pretty sure it is a bad idea to tell your girlfriend that you shouldn't converse with her at school. For someone playing, "The Nice Guy," this dude is pretty unlikable so far. I guess, for some reason, this girl is cool with it. To me, that would be even more of a worrisome sign. At least the date and gifted cellphone cover moments were cute and enjoyable enough to be watchable. Of course, it ends with more red flags when the previous love interest is brought up. I guess we have some rivalry, jealousy, and misunderstandings in our near future. Don't be fooled, the look of max boredom on my face is simply because the excitement that an anime likes this provides cannot possibly be expressed on a human face. |
 |
| Ohhhh boy...Kurose reeks of another Sumi situation from Rent A Girlfriend. Wonder if it's gonna be a 'oh you're dating the popular girl? i liked you all along so date me instead.' type deal. I need drama! |
 |
| I think it is natural for the majority of people to feel disgusted by MC's nature. You need to see the world in broader sense, and think that the world is not filled only by people with same trait. I'm just glad that the MC is not the usual guy who can interact conventionally with other girl, because that's what the majority of romcom MC's doing commonly lol. Looking forward for the chara development. |
| 2 episodes in now. And outside of being bait for some toxic discourse, don’t really think it has anything to show for it. And if I’m keeping track correctly we have 6 named characters with at least 3 being blatantly unappealing. The MC’s “friends” are just kinda dicks. Maria explicitly lead MC on then rejected him, which works fine for a flashback for MC, not as back story for a newly introduced character. And I especially don’t like this if as the OP seems to suggest, this will end up being a love triangle? MC is a wet blanket, far beyond just awkward. Nicole (FMC’s friend) distrusts MC for 0 reason but maybe that can get redeemed. Runa is fine but far from enough to carry the show unfortunately. |

I'm seriously thinking about dropping this shit.
| @Trezeguett See you next week xD |
| YO! Is that a Supra? |
| Eh, this episode was maybe a bit better than the first one but the MC is somewhat insufferable and he kind of reminds me of Kazuya. I don't really get Nicole though, if she's protective of Runa against someone harmless like Ryuto, where was she when all the other guys used her? Anyways, I'm thinking Maria will find out that Ryuta is dating Runa which will suddenly make her interested in Ryuto again. Runa herself sounded like she may still dump Ryuto when she was talking to her friend on the phone. Hopefully this trainwreck will least be entertaining to watch unfold... |

@ThePhilosoph4 Yes, sir! A 2020 Toyota GR Supra RZ Horizon Blue Edition. |

| Ah shit Maria is here? This is gonna make things a lot more interesting. I do love runa gradually learning to love herself, but I am a sucker for a good old fashioned love triangle. I really wish Ryuto would stop being so down on himself and putting her on a pedestal. Just be normal. I think runa getting hype about ryuuto gawking over cars was pretty realistic. A lot of girls just love hearing guys talk about what they’re passionate about. If Ryuuto would stop being so pessimistic and self deprecating he would have a much better time. He’s a smart dude with a lot to offer. Don’t sell yourself short |
|
| Man, this show is tropey. It's like it's straight out of early 2000s. |
| insert *is that a supraaaaa* meme. the dialogue in this show was written by AI though, why would you even wanna hear about your bf's past love life so cheerfully lol and the mid animation ain't helping either. can't believe we got a love triangle thing about to kick off already, but like seriously, this guy? the only part of the episode i didn't have a straight face was when the mc's friends were laying it down on him lmao. |
 |
| That sports car flirt was awesome dude...and another third wheel...I know we will end up feeling bad for someone by the time this ends. |
Undefeated  Bahamut |
| Eh this was ok. I still can't stand the MC how how worrisome he can be, like the moment where he flipped out cause his text wasnt instantly read came off as pretty cringe. I can only hope that he becomes a more confident person as the show goes on. |
 |
| Despite how this started, it looks like this series may be more wholesome than I thought. Looks like things are gonna get interesting |
 |
| I really want to unpack my thoughts on this episode. Idk how to feel about Ryuuto, I respect the fact he wants to be a real man and respect her, self-inseting is cringe af but I can't lie I would've picked the same for the 1st date because I'm a boring guy too, so that's all good. But I kinda hate him, he is just waaay too much of a pussy, holy shit, dude can't even talk straight, he is always crying, and it makes me uncomfortable everytime he gets "shocked" because he gasp like a girl, in fact, it feels like he is the girl in this relationship comparing it to almost every other romantic anime, that's so lame it makes me kinda mad. I get that he doesn't have faith in himself but holy shit this is way too much. Also, what in the holy name of fuck was that dumbass talk about race cars??? Runa thinks she is like a race car??? Ryuuto also thinks she is like a race car??? That had to be one of the absolute dumbest and cringiest "romantic" interaction/talk I've ever seen in my fucking life. We had 0 need to know that this dude gets turn on with cars, fuck. I like Runa a bit more, but I still think she's a massive idiot, her idea was to get a boyfriend so she can marry him soon like her parents did, so she decided to have sex with anyone who talked nice to her? Nah man, there is no excuse to such stupidity. One last thing, holy fucking shit I HATE Ryuuto's friends, like, broooooo, did both ugly bastards say even a nerd SHOULD always have a condom with him??? B R U H But why I really hate them is because they ain't even Ryuuto's friends, they clearly just talk to him because they think he is a lowtier weirdo just like them, that kind of fake ass friendship in anime always makes me so fkng mad, at that point they could be completely removed from this plot and everything would be the same, just change the reason as to why Ryuuto asked Runa to be her girlfriend and that's it. |

Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Kurose, it is unfortunate that MC no longer has feeling for her... or maybe there's still a lingering feeling left behind for her. But, MC is dedicated for Runa now. He wants to bring her happiness. May Kurose find her happiness too. |
| This anime is actually showing a lot of promise but why was he so surprised that a boyfriend and girlfriend actually do go on dates? |
| First episode was cringe as heck, even if we take into account its introductory character, but this one has beaten it by a huge margin. More wacky situations, with the culmination of them being Ryuuta comparing women to cars (what the hell). Second episode of this show has surprised me, indeed. I will give its third episode a try as well. I'm curious about the conversation between Ryuuta and Kurose. They haven't seen each other for a while. |
| They really have to transfer MC's crush from middle school he just mentioned in this episode to drive the plot. Eh......... Dropped. another bullshit self-insert romcom |

| @Nekko_Khayal88 Yeah, I had a feeling that it could be just one of those "self-insert femcel fantasy" type of stories just after finishing watching the first episode. Conversations I read or participated in afterwards have only assured me that my hunch was correct. A low quality one, if I may add. The second episode was even more cringey than the first one. |

| @Adnash Bro, they are not concerned about birth control or sexual diseases, they just wanna be ready for having sex at any moment, that is fkng pathetic. And being "top model" doesn't have anything to do with it, OOF. Also, their "friendship" can be realistic, but that doesn't change the fact that it still a fake friendship at it's core and I don't see why I'm wrong for being mad at those 2 annoying fuckers. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it. |
| I am still stuck on the idea that Runa has 'experience.' I don't mean it as a negative for Runa but because they are both inexperienced at the end of the day. Ruuto has never had a girlfriend, and Runa has never properly dated someone who cared enough. I liked this episode and am a sucker for a love triangle, so Maria's appearance should make this one somewhat better. Ryuuto is an MC who gets on my nerves because he's the stuttery-shy type that would put any woman on a pedestal as long they gave him a hello, but that is why I'm here for the development of these two. I will be here next week. |

StallionXD said: Well, but is it a bad thing to do? If they were to have sex, then contraception is a must, to not end up with unwanted pregnancy or with STD. Plus their advice, although kinda wacky (but not uncommon among guys their age), had some wisdom in it. Instead of falling for the moment and having regrets of not using condoms during the sexual intercourse, it's good for a young man in a relationship to have at least one condom by his side when he goes on a date. Or is invited out of blue to his girlfriend's room (apparently, from what I read, it has way stronger meaning in Japan than in the West).Bro, they are not concerned about birth control or sexual diseases, they just wanna be ready for having sex at any moment, that is fkng pathetic. StallionXD said: You pointed out that they were ugly, though. Top models ain't ugly by general standards, on the contrary.And being "top model" doesn't have anything to do with it, OOF. StallionXD said: Ye, I'm not saying that disliking those two lads is bad or something. I wouldn't hang around with them as well. No need to waste time and nerves on such people. Perhaps Ryuuta will be able to meet new people through Runa and her friends, so he will be able to meet real, supportive friends.Also, their "friendship" can be realistic, but that doesn't change the fact that it still a fake friendship and I don't see why I'm wrong for being mad at those 2 fuckers. |
| The drama has arrived with a bit of trauma..Lets see how this will play out |
 |
Ugh the boy MC is so lame and spineless.... Man up a little bit, it's cringey to see he acts embarrassed on everything related to Runa, his own GF. What kind of boyfriend only want to talk to his gf on weekends and embarrassed to talk to his own gf at school Runa is so patient having a lame bf like that. |

| Kurose-san is bad news. His first love vs the cute gyaru - the f'kn dude will be lynched by his friends. |
| Aye, we can agree that this show is becoming more and more cringey with each episode. I wonder if the third one will be any different. Or even worse than ep. 2, which was more cringey than ep. 1, lol. |
| Nicole being hyper alert against MC when she was told he is her bestie new boyfriend. After learning about how many times her bestie had been dumped, it makes sense she finds it hard to acknowledge and approve her bestie's new boyfriend. Nicole became protective for Runa because of how sweet and naive she is. It is great to have a friend like Nicole for Runa. |
 |
| Ryuuto gotta get a new set of friends, they’re so negative and want to pull him down with them. Crabs in a bucket mentality fr. The shopping moment was nice. Seeing as how ryuuto’s last crush is now here I just hope we don’t get unnecessary drama/issues. Alas knowing how tropey shows like to be I can expect it to do so. |
 |
| I'm feeling like the title is quite misleading. They need to say properly what she's experienced in. Because it doesn't look like she ever had any proper dating experience to begin with, other than getting f'ed. |
 |
| This episode was better than the first. Also that whole sports-car conversation was fuckin' adorable. |
