| This still reminds me of School Days but without the crap and how it ended. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |

This does have a few character vibes from School Days. I hadn't thought about it, but now that you mention it I can feel a few. |

AgehaYoru said: I don't really agree with him not putting effort himself, as you can see Hinami just give him the quest, it's entirely up to him to finish it or run away. Also, maybe you need to rewatch it since you got it wrong, if it's not for Tomozaki striking up conversation first at the end of episode, she probably wouldn't ask her to teach Atafami. And I think you're going to retract that statement when you see Tomozaki putting a lot of efforts later and not just spoonfed by Hinami. For me, the physical pain is stronger with Kazuya, on the other hand I think Tomozaki's not as bad and as pathetic as Kazuya. And he already showed incremental progress. That's all true, but I wasn't trashing on tomozaki's character specifically. Kazuya was a way more obnoxious and unbearable character; like you just want to isekai yourself into his world and give him a world champion level slap to the face. Tomozaki is a perfectly fine dude, socially inept and disabled, but at least his character is innocent. My problem is with the premise, the overall scenario is what's painful. Socially, the dude's a baby and needs guidance by someone the same age as him... kind of sad bro. And yeah you're right he is trying and making progress, and that yes perhaps he did MAYBE make izumi speak up at the end there because of his prior attempts to talk to her, he STILL did kind of give up there and walk away. Guess that's not a bad thing, guy's still struggling and needs the support of others. Thing is he's getting overwhelming support from just about everyone to the point that he's playing the game of life on the easiest difficulty. Is there really gonna be any real growth if you stay on easy mode idk it really is just me, but I can barely watch baby in grown ass dude: the anime. BUT it IS interesting enough for me to want to see how it unfolds. Can't wait for the next episode, I guess. |

| First anime to make me physically cringe in a while. |
| I like girls like Kikuchi tbh, she's cute and I like the way she talks, and it turns out that she writes novels. Tomozaki looks even better with his new hairstyle |
 |
| Apparently, Aoi life lesson dealt much faster than i thought. Its impacted a lot with those two nearby girls. He finally got Yuzu attention and more closer to Fuuka side of attraction by inviting him to read her novel, as if those fate meeting not just a mere coincidence. Tomozaki even got his little sister acknowledgement. Silly, as a classic rom-com to be. Lmao. I wonder what kind of deal that Yuzu had in the end? Somehow, Tomozaki's sensitivity paid so good to levelling up his tier. That's good. Also, a little note that this whole life quest actually have so much fun. Even though in the end, Tomozaki doubt was understandable in the end. Its insincere, full of lies. Its back to his own decision to play along with it long enough until you've got a lot experience, or, you just busted it out at them to portray a good gentleman. Whatever it is, its a win-win solution. Ganbatte, Tomozaki! Do it awesomely! |

| I like the harem-like situation this is taking, but man I hated seeing Tomozaki lie to Kikuchi like that lol, hopefully he’ll make it right at some point but I can see some drama come from this in the future. |
| Well ... talking to the other girl could actually make Fuka (who is the real goal) get jealous/envious. At least if it happens in class. Cause they both seem to sit near the main. (That is why other girl asked Fuka for handkerchief in episode 1.) Though Aoi could just have told Fuka that Tomozaki is her boyfriend when they suddenly met at the place she worked part-time. Lol. :D Some stuff really is cringe yeah. When Tomozaki tries to talk to others that aren't Aoi or Fuka. Previous episode was a bit better here. But with the other girl he had to talk twice too ... was really weird. I also think they will start with boys as well. But a bit later. If he got friends with the popular boys that would also make it easier for him to interact with girls. Maybe if he gets the shy girl (Fuka) as girlfriend he can appear more "normal" towards others and have it easier to get into conversations with the boys. |
| I like how at around 15:35 white hair girl just slides on over to Tomozaki. Made me laugh, but was obviously unintended lmao |
| The library scene with Kikuchi & Tomozaki was so adorable! I definitely think that Kikuchi has an interest in Tomozaki already, even if it's not exactly a crush. She's my favourite girl so far and I actually think the two would make a nice couple. As a side note; After the way he acted in the clothes store and other factors I've seen in the last 2 eps, it seems like Tomo-kun is more than just 'anti-social'... it seems like he's actually suffering from Social Anxiety. |
 |
| Kayanon as Kikuchi aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa <3 I need more of her. Feel like she's going to be best girl. Looking forward to the next episodes. |
| Seeing a lot of comments, here and elsewhere, that Hinami is 'pushing' Tomozaki into the events of the series, or even more extreme, that she's deliberately moulding him to be her kind of guy. This just isn't happening. At every point, it's Tomozaki that chooses to go through with it, as Hinami highlights at one point. Heck, she even gives him the opportunity to quit during their lunch. He's not being pushed, she's just presenting options that she thinks will work for him. And it's also obvious how much leeway he has in the matter. Hinami doesn't choose his clothes for him - she tells him to base his outfit on a mannequin and leaves it up to him to pick. Hinami doesn't give him a step-by-step guide to conversation with Izumi - she just tells him to start one, and if he tanks, he tanks. Hinami doesn't even tell him to start a relationship with Kikuchi when the opportunity drops into his lap earlier than expected - she just tells him it's his decision to use the 'in' he lucked into or not, and that if he has a good time with her it's not like it'd erase that just because there was a misunderstanding to begin with. Tomozaki has a lot of freedom. And, frankly, if Hinami wanted a boyfriend who was just her type she could get one. |
| forget Izumi.... first thing to do is get home and start reading all the books from that author, xD |
| to be honest, Aoi characters type most thing I hate in my life, the type who acts like know everything and keep give others lessons so I wish if MC will end with Fuuka but I don't think this possible |

 |
| Hmm, so Kikuchi likes Michael Andy's books... Maybe she'll be the first to take a ride on Tomozaki's luck dragon, eh? |

pablosolis said: BetaMaleUltra said: ..... ok so this is an absolutely fine anime, totally decent, nothing as of yet that I can fairly nitpick on it. But the overall premise, of this dude basically learning not to be a baby anymore, is just, painful. We're meant to see him grow out of this as the show progresses, but just going through this, again, is kind of painful to watch. This whole situation is pathetic really, imho. Shut-in guy who is really good at smash bros but can't talk to people must overcome his weakness and, talk to people. sigh. The hot chick helping him through this is wholesome, but what about this entertaining exactly, is it supposed to be funny? I'd hope not, for the poor guy. They are definitely trying to crack some humor as he tries to be social, but it's falling flat. Maybe you're enjoying this and having fun, but for me this isn't fun at all, instead making me cringe straight through. Calling all these goals as tasks that just have to be checked off basically turn our mc into a robot with zero depth. Maybe you can enjoy this because you can relate to our main character, or understand what he's going through. Problem is, his unsociable aspect to his character is just so extreme it's hard to get a grasp on it and thus hard to get behind and sympathize with. Like it's just seriously miserably pathetic it gives me physical pain. Oh he talked to his sister?? WOW! Progress! He is an actual person now! Nice!!!! If you're enjoying this I really don't want to rain on your parade but I'm just trying to find for myself why anyone would like this, sorry. Dude's barely even putting any effort into it himself, sure he tries to say hi a couple times, but mostly he's just getting handheld and spoonfed like a baby on what to do by chick I forget her name. Even at the end of this episode he was walking away from an opportunity, and it's the girl herself who strikes up a conversation, not him. Call me cold hearted but dude should really just go back to being shut in hardcore gamer That said, just like stuff such as rent-a-girlfriend that were also a painful watch, I will continue watching this because I am indeed curious to see how events will unfold, no matter the pain I have to endure. Hey at least his hair looks like not trash anymore! Hi everyone, I am a novel reader and a spoiler searcher of this novel. I see this post and I want to talk about what happens in the novel. Everything that I am going to say is to answer the question in this forum, why Aoi helps Tomozaki? Also, all the information is up to volume 9 of the light novel, I clarify this because there is still information that the author is going to show in future volumes. As well, forgive my English, isn't my native language. With this said let's begin! SPOILER WARNING Thanks for reading, I hope this clears some doubts. The story becomes more complex and develops with a high deepness of the characters, chapter by chapter, episode by episode. Continue watching it, it won't defraud you! Thanks, even though it was spoilery your explanation helped clear up a lot of stuff I was having problems with, and even made it interesting; think I can actually get invested in this now. My thoughts were just based on the first few episodes that are released right now, my initial impressions of the show. I'm going in blind, so this is a whole new story for me. I know you gotta give most shows a chance to run its course so you can see what they really bring to the table, it's just that I wasn't liking the vibes I was getting from these first few episodes. Even if our socially disabled mc-kun does indeed grow as the story progresses, STILL can't get over how much of a baby this guy is. That said, I am going to watch this through and then give it a fair analysis by the end. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised, as I may be as what you said was fairly intriguing. Can't say I'm EXCITED for the next episode, but nonetheless I am looking forward to it in hopes of liking this story more. |

| Very good episode, I enjoyed it. Tomozaki asking the shop clerk for the clothes on the mannequin and failing miserably is relatable as fuck. I honestly don't think Hinami is forcing or manipulating Tomozaki or something like that. She's just guiding him and giving him a push forward, at the end of the day it's still Tomozaki's choice and his choice is improving himself. Though Tomozaki trying to talk to Izumi was painful to watch lmao but it really do be like that, I didn't like how he lied to Kikuchi though, I hope he becomes honest with her eventually cause I like Kikuchi. |
 |
| This episode was okay. Nothing more really. I hope it doesn't go in the direction of "everyone likes loner boy". That being said, I think it was pretty interesting seeing him start to wonder if it was right to be so insincere. I hope the anime follows that sub-plot more. |
 my life was made with mematic. |
| uh...ok....I dunno about anyone else but that bit at the end with Izumi she was suddenly giving me Tsundere vibes I think. Or at least, if we look at it in terms of a game/dating sim....that was totally an increase relationship event....perhaps from "regular passerby" to "friendly acquaintance" or something like that..... Totally reminds me of my dating sim games....lol? Gotta love random events... |
:3 |
| In this episode, we got to see Tomo-zaki advance to the next task-Talk to Izumi twice a day and seems to have failed yet barely passed xD The main heroine is now decided to be Fuuka! And she is kawaiii!!! Something seems to be off with Izumi, let's see what it is in the next episode! |
 |
| Tomozaki-kun now on a journey to leveling up to be the best character in the so-called Game of Life and this time Fuuka Kikuchi will be the first heroine of this journey! xD And also he's given a task to talk to Izumi twice a day, all of them failed! But you can still gain exp and keep going even if you have died one or more times! And woaaaaaaaaaah, Izumi-chan wants to learn how to play Tackfam, that's interesting! I'm looking forward for this one! |

| Tomozaki makes me cringe hard, honestly its painful to watch. I've seen children with better social skills. I'm still not sure what message this anime is trying to convey and I'm not sure I can be bothered to find out. |
| Read the fucking books dude! It's cringe when you played like you have read the fucking books but then go on and on about how your not being sincere. Now that you've said it, you need to power read that shit like your loser ass life depends on it. Why am I still watching this train wreck of a show, it's like starting a porno and finding out it's all dry humping while wearing hazmat suits! |
 |
| I feel like Hinami will get emotionally attached to Tomozaki. Kikuchi is quite cute tho ngl when she was talking about her favorite author. |
 |
| Ohh damn our MC has gone through a drastic change!! He really looks good now!! Also Fuka x Tomozaki??? I don't ship this.... atleast not now!! |

Its more like change for the sake of other people. |
| nah, tomozaki did it for himself. Don't you see how happy he is when his changes are noticed by his sister in this eps |
