I'm really fond of Akane being bittersweet about her past with Saito... I was also fond of her long hair. Unfortunately, she already cut it in high school.

Akane and Saito having fun in their childhood.



.
..
...and, Himari, can't really stop destroying her friends' relationship??? Annoyingly, so.
I really hate to say this but...
fucking whore, just wants to destroy her relationship with other people are not your friends, fr fr.

But, what I hate the most, would be Saito's indecisiveness for not even preventing the advances of other girls when he already has Akane by his side. I was really hoping for his character to really develop when Akane already gave him enough hints to actually say that she has feelings for him, and even stopped him a few times already to stop doing such things that would break her heart, but ultimately, his first kiss got stolen—like someone from a shoujo series.
I actually had a lot of things to say of how bad Saito is as a character, but I leave it at that, for now.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

It really took until the last episode for anything to happen in Kurakon and even then it barely even resolved anything.

What was even the point of this show?

And in the end nothing is resolved. Akane still hates Saito for not remembering her (but also doesn't want to tell him, because feelings are complicated), Himari is still a snake and tries to exploit Saito's naivety for her own satisfaction, we have two more girls who want Saito for themselves and Saito still hasn't realized anything and doesn't know what he wants.

Saito, who had some episodes where he tried to understand Akane and even bought her a ring, seems to suspect that Akane already knew him before high school and was the girl from the party but he also just happily goes along with Himari's flirts. The only thing I can deduce from that is that he simply doesn't care enough. I was under the misconception that this is a romance story, my bad.

people aren’t gonna like it because akane is the love interest and all, but himari was 100% correct in every single thing she said. did she go about it in the best way? no. was she justified in what she said/did? absolutely. akane has been extremely annoying and wishy washy the entire anime. himari wasn’t

Himari was literally the worst character in the show, all she had to do was root for Akane she even knew that Akane loved Saito but she has to go out of her way to steal him how can they call themselves "best friends" after all that? The dynamic of this show was ruined because of her and i still can't believe some people still say Himari was the best girl. This show literally fell off so bad because of her this must be one of the worst endings i've ever seen a romance anime have.

Two best friends fighting over one man they love, each of them has a stance that makes them worthy of fighting.

I didn't expect Akane and Himari to have a fight like that and I think there's nothing wrong with how Himari uses her way to be with Saito, after all it's also proof of how much she loves Saito.

And also for Akane, I just feel it's a shame that she can't fully express her feelings for Saito, so the two of them are still awkward with each other and hinder the progress of their relationship. In the end, these two best friends still love each other, they are really great best friends.

But yeah since the story is over we can only hope that there is still a next story waiting in the future. This ending is very less than ideal for me to be honest, even so, I'm glad the overall show is still pretty good.

Inconclusive and unsatisfying ending, but that’s typical for this kind of show so I didn’t poop my pants like some other commenters. I mean, we all watch these rom-com/harem shows, so why is everyone so upset at this kind of ending?

CR dropped a big hint, saying this was the final episode of Season 1, so maybe they know something we don’t.

I liked the concept, and just about all the characters except for Maho who I thought was unnecessary, and there was enough of a plot to move the show along, and there were enough laughs too. So I’m giving a solid 7/10 and I’ll be lined up to watch S2 if it happens.

Over at last! I liked the concept of this anime SO much when I first saw the first episode and absolutely (and unbelievably) enjoyed the few first episodes, but since then my acceptance of this anime been fading episode after episode, I do not like the harem direction it took, it's not what I signed up for, and it's its weakest point, what made this anime SO good to me is the forced (high schoolers) marriage (which in it's own right was/is unique in an already repetitive bread of romance stories) and how they had to deal with their grandparents selfishness going on with their every day lives just to achieve their dreams, nothing else, and I really wish the anime didn't stray away from that, especially not into the realm of extremely terrible writing.
I swear the fight the 2 girls had this episode bored me to death.
I'm now less eager about picking up the manga to know what happens next.
I loved it at first, don't hate it at the end, still kinda love it but I'm just disappointed.

This show was a mess, especially the pacing. I forget if it was someone in an earlier discussion thread or somewhere else, but they said that this show feels like a compilation of tiktoks. Whoever you are, you were absolutely right. It really feels like the writers of this show made it a rule that every 3 minutes there has to be a scene change or the bit has to be over.

7/10 Only for Akane.

I was really hoping Akane would land a good punch on Himari during the argument, but she just kept up her good girl act.


The other girls are boring or annoying.

I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to this sort of anime, but this one has been pretty bad all the way through.
That last episode was especially abysmal though. Deciding to make Himari a borderline-psychopath was a choice. It's a romance anime where everyone would just be better off apart. Not good writing at all.

Damn, while Himari admitted that she knew Akane actually liked Saito for some time Himari refused to back down which surprised me but at least Akane seems ok with that which I think its because she'd rather have Himari as a friend and rival than to break up their friendship completely. Nonetheless I thought that they were going to throw hands for a minute there.

Btw, I think that when Shise said that Himari wasn't Saito's first kiss is that she has kissed him while he's been sleeping which would explain why Saito doesn't remember that at all (unless Shise was just messing around but I can't tell with her haha). Anyways, I thought this was an enjoyable watch but I was a bit disappointed that Akane only admitted her real feelings to Himari after Himari kissed Saito but I also think that Saito knows Akane actually does like him. Hopefully a 2nd season is announced at some point as I'd like see how this evolves.

Akane is trash. I genuinely don't get why anyone would root against the love interest that is honest about her feelings, confessed, and is consistently kind to MC. Like how is this even a competition? Am I supposed to feel sad because Saito didn't recognize Akane at school after watching an entire season of her doing nothing but yelling, complaining, nagging, and otherwise being a horrible communicator? If he asked "who are you?" why didn't she just explain that they met at a party at that moment?

Why be into someone that can't be straightforward with you or her best friend or even herself? Even if she was a nice person (which she hasn't been to MC), she clearly has work to do on herself before dating anyone. Himari shouldn't have waited years for Akane, she should have shot her shot with someone who was always nice to her and it worked out, that's it. If it didn't and Akane figured out how she felt/finally wanted to try honesty, she could take her shot after.

Just to wrap up this rant, "we met as children" should never be significant, and is only mildly better than the "childhood friend" since the childhood friend is not only are around their interest the whole time, they usually wait until their interest is finally into someone else to drop a bomb on their relationship.

As of now it's Himari> Shisei> Akane's sister> ANY Other random Saito can meet> Being alone> Akane.

I feel like we could have gotten more progress within 12 episodes because what are the odds we're getting a season 2? Dropped my rating of this because of Himari honestly and some of the other characters' behaviors. Yes, she is valid for also liking Saito, but she comes off as fake and backstabby at the end. Nothing will change my mind about that... Wish this could have been better but honestly I was very disappointed with how this anime ended.

I honestly don't see what Saito sees in Akane outside of getting the inheritance. Any progress he has building a relationship with Akane feels like it gets reset to zero in every episode. I ended up rooting for Himari.

There's a part of me that is absolutely seething at what this series just pulled at this stage in the story and yet there's another part of me that just accepts it for what it is. I guess experiencing series like Rent-a-Girlfriend, Love is War, and NISEKOI with their longer-than-the-premise's-lifespan-can-sustain plots I'm just too worn out to care even if that move is obviously only for extending the series' lifespan.

Despite seeing it coming the minute the first dispute between Akane and Saito happened in the episode, I'm still a tad frustrated that our main couple are right back to square one after all those episodes where Akane showed significant development in her attitude toward the relationship. It certainly makes for a decent circular bookend ending, but it's not particularly rewarding because it retracts all that emotional traveling. I'm quite disappointed to see Saito get nerfed this episode, after so much establishment of his intelligence, I find it bemusing that this whole conflict between him and his fiance was all because he couldn't recognize her (I kinda get it, but I'm so tired of that trope) - I totally get now where the hostility from Akane came from, even if it is very disproportionate to the crime, but in fairness she was a 16 year old getting that treatment so I get it.

Given the series' premise, honestly I'm not holding my breath with Himari.

If I ever actually put a review on MAL it's definitely either a mixed feelings with a high score or positive feelings with a low.

Truly horrible show. If it was not for Shisei and Himari I would have dropped this by the 2nd episode. He should divorce this psycho or have her committed and run very far away, dragging Shisei and Himari with him (and Shisei's maid too). To be honest I am tired of seeing abusive relationships in anime, how I long for the days of a semi-decent story. This drivel will probably get a 2nd season too, and I sincerely hope not. Maybe an Isekai where he can live his life with Shisei and Himari? And while Himari may have her faults she is also very likeable and fun. She really deserves a chance instead of that harridan who spends her life threatening and being in a huff. That marriage aint gonna work!
May the Uguu be with you.

Bruh this show is such a fun trainwreck, that ending is definitely unsatisfying but it's very fitting for a super messy romcom show like this lol 😂
In the end, Akane is still a helpless baka tsundere and Himari is the GOAT!

The ending scene here is a perfect encapsulation of this awful anime: Himari is very clearly expressing her desire to fuck Saito in front of everyone, Saito stays awkwardly silent and passive while Akane just makes some snide remarks that Himari told her, in this very episode, don't mean anything and won't stop her. Saito and Akane love each other, and have expressed this to one another multiple times. But instead of just doing it again and telling Himari to bug off they just don't. Why? Because then all the harem/love triangle hijinx has to be over before it starts.

Akane, as stupid as her behavior is, I could at least excuse on account of her being the most stereotypical tsundere I've seen. But Saito has NO REASON not to just pick a girl then and there.

what an amazing final episode, Akane finally gonna get serious about Saito it seems, can't wait for next season!! this was easily one of my favorites this season 10/10. Can't wait to see the moment when Saito finally finds out it was Akane at that party, I wonder how they revealed it in LN, hope it's before and not the very end.

Aaaahhhh!!! I hate it when a season ends at such a crucial moment!!! I’m so mad, ugh.

Now I’ll have to wait years and years and years for the next season, and by then, I’ll have forgotten everything. Damn it.

The episode was great, though. At first, you can’t really tell Himari’s feelings, but it becomes clear that she truly loves Akane.

I really, really wanted Saito to realize that Akane is the same girl from the party! I even said in the last episode that I hoped it would happen quickly, but it didn’t.

For me, this show is a solid 10/10, I enjoyed it so much!

Holy shit what an episode. I was really enjoying this anime but it was like a 6.5/7 out of 10 but that episode was a 10 out of 10. the argument between akane and himari was soooo well done, did not feel like something this anime could give but it did. felt like a more blue box kind of more serious romance anime thing.

The show was good. The moments between Akane and Saito are the best part. I don't like that it became a Pseudo Harem show midway like many other romcom. It was pretty fun nonetheless.

We get the confirmation we need. It's just that the ending did not feel like a season finale with its forced drama and quick reconciliation. The execution leaves much to be desired.

I'm still giving this a good score despite that.

I don't normally post a lot anymore on episode discussions, but I wanted to say: Akane was SO FUCKING ANNOYING THE ENTIRE ANIME. I actually love Tsunderes, but honestly the amount of YAPPING and gaslighting she has done is just almost unbearable. I wouldn't say I hate her, but having someone like that as the main female lead and the one thats going to win in the end obviously, it's just ugh.....

Himari is just better in every single way. She's playful, she's lovey dovey, she's pervy, she is confident, has a stellar body, long hair, and also shows signs of weakness WHILE also being a strong girl mentally at the same time.

She knows what she wants and she goes for it. She's not a perfect girl, as the way she comes across some things is a bit clumsy and can be at times more selfish, but that's what a person is. Having someone with a ton of pros with some cons thrown in there is literally how most actual relationships work.

I know it would defeat "the premise" of this anime, but Himari REALLY should have been the main heroine in this story.


Edit: Also just noticed, why is there no Harem genre tag on this anime? It cleary is one
