| Unique start for a romance series. I did read the 1st volume but put it on hold to wait for the anime. Kinda unfortunate that the animation is pretty lackluster but the pacing is good so far. |
  |
| Big Angel Next Door vibes |
 |
| The best part was when she yelled "Baka-yaro!!" at him. Still haven't warmed up to this yet, will give it a couple more eps. |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| It feels like any typical shoujo anime, but I thought the episode was a good start for the series. |
 |
| Hey another Shoujo to fill the void from "A Sign of Affection" that just ended from Winter 2024. It's Kana Hanazawa, i love her voice so much. |
 |
| Well this is boring but shit when they say dumb cliche stuff that's a big no for me P.S Btw the dude gives me a vibe of a serial killer (when he said something soulmate and whatever, so weird) |
| Loved the first episode, looks like I'm going to enjoy this. |
 |
| This was really nice to see. |
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.  |
| So, uh, Hananoi's a creep, right? Like those are some heavy stalker vibes. I feel like the show was even acknowledging this until we had the weird flip in Hotaru's reaction between the scene in the snow and the next day. There's the has to be on purpose parallel between the that's what love is lines but without any good reason for the change. I could see maaaybe an interesting thing where their eccentricities and flaws crash off each other and develop them, but that's way harder to write than the fetishism of troubling behavior I expect. |
| I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would! Not sure if I'll stick around to the end but I'll give the next two episodes a sot before deciding |
 |
| Sure was a unique first meeting. Still i admit that her life of one without romance and one that is instead focused on friends and family is pretty attractive. Hananoi sure went straight for the heart huh. Soulmate as a reason though sure sounds fickle. Still gotta admit his determination to help her. But a relationship where one side is changing himself soo much for the other doesn't seem healthy. Still curious to see where their bond goes. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ugh, idk, I'm getting bad vibes from this. Hananoi is trying way too much. |
 |
| I love my romance anime and this show will be wholesome. |
 |
| Honestly I'm a little bit disappointed, I really like the heroine, but LI gets on my nerves. He's a little bit too obsessed so early on. Also I'm not a big fan of confessions in first eps. Will still watch and see how it goes. It would be interesting if Hinase were aromantic, wishful thinking. |

| “There’s no such thing as someone who shouldn’t fall in love” heard good things about this one coming into it and decent first episode. It’s definitely a very shoujo ass shoujo with the female wish fulfilment concept of a plain shy girl meeting a hot stud and him pursuing her.. you have to suspend disbelief for a bit to enjoy this one. But it’s cute for sure. It was a little hard to get into at first just because of how aggressive Hananoi was despite just meeting the female lead, and coming off a breakup?? I mean damn, bro didn’t even heal up from his last relationship and already jumping into a new one. Hopefully the story will touch on things like that and how that can lead affect the overall relationship. If you’re not healed from a past trauma, you’re just going to bring that into the next relationship. Kinda wish the MC had kept his long hair too, that would’ve been unique for a shoujo romance 😢 Don’t think it’ll be as good as Yubiren or Yamada999, but I’m just happy we’re getting more and more shoujo adapted. Still nowhere near the shonen and isekai stuff, but it’s getting better. |

| Hotaru's an interesting character. Can't say the same about Hananoi though. Dunno, I just find it extremely corny how he starts looking for a tiny darn hairpin in a snow-covered huge field in the dark while it's snowing; and he's not wearing gloves or cares about getting wet. He didn't even know if the item was important for Hotaru or not. It's kind of creepy even to see him go to such length! Like Hotaru said, I'd worry for the guy getting himself killed over a hairpin! Dude's not right in the head! I'd worry about getting close to such person, especially when you don't know shit about them, and yet they asked to become a couple all of a sudden (on the same day they got dumped!). Insanity! Now for the animation. From the get-go, when the OP started playing, I thought it was odd. Animation looked weird enough for me to go check who's behind the project (felt like cheap animation). Turns out this show's made by a rando studio who hasn't done tv-series before. Hmmm... Anyways, gonna see where this show goes, but for now I have low expectations; especially after that cheesy "falls in love after umbrella-sharing" BS. I don't know which is more cringe trope, umbrella or bumping to someone by accident and then falling in love. |
| Shoujo romance are always welcome to me and while I like this more than I did with A Sign of Affection, I find this dynamic already so shallow and the reason why he fell in love. Hard to find male leads that I like in my shoujo. |
| It warmed the heart. The couple is super cute and very beautiful. Hananoi-kun has a slightly different way of loving ahah but he doesn't do it out of malice. It all happened very quickly, but I liked it and I have high expectations for this novel. |

Sexiest guy in town.. a very oblivious, plain looking, one who doesn’t know the way of the world kind of girl, and then the next thing you see… they are already going out, for reasons even unknown to god. Female self-insertion at its peak lol.
I mean this wasn’t even laughable, the guy just got dumped by a girl who was as unimportant as, it seems, the logic in this series, and then some snowing in the background, some umbrella stuff, and dude literally went and proposed to the main girl the next day… what? WHAT?!?!?!?!?!? No the main question is, why? He handsome right, so if it was some pussy he wanted he would’ve gotten it anyways, why this roundabout way?
The pair seems so out of ordinary, that even the main girl is surprised over the sequence of events. Throwing some cheesy lines like “I did this for you”, won’t make for the stupid stuff we watched for the better part of this episode.
This guy is the perfect guy of the modern world who can make the girls wet… he’s good looking, he’s tall, he’s toxic.. just missing the beard. Again self-insertion at its peak lol.
“I’ll do anything as long as it is for you and makes you smile”. Lmaoooo, dude who passed the k-drama script here? This is hilarious more than it is bad. Very low expectations going forward.

what are you talking about kids? don't pretend to know
| @R1saenami watch more romance anime and youll get why this one is bull |
| :v |
| It felt like it went too fast, but okay, understandable. They wanted to get into the main story right away. Hotaru is as sweet and cute as I've always imagined ♡ |
 |
| It felt like a creepy version of 'Skip to Loafer'. I feel the guy is too mature and experienced to be courting a very naive and innocent girl. At least in Skip to Loafer, Shima wasn't really courting Iwakura but just got interested in her treating him differently than most girls who see him as a popular crush. This show on the other hand gives me the same 'off' feeling I had for "A Girl and Her Guard Dog". |

| these two will be one odd couple, but i like it. He looks better with longer hair imo, so i kinda hope he grows it out again. He does seem a bit too pushy (for my liking), but sometimes people do need a little push so.. we will see how the relationship will develop. :)) i also love the fact how casually she approached him. :D |

| Think I used to like this manga years ago but dropped it because it suddenly got boring for me. The ML, yeah a lot of people ik including myself hates him at first but it's something to get used to. The anime is quite stiff, doesn't have that direction like A Sign of Affection to keep me engage so not going to bother to continue. |
