I wanna bash Iroha's head in, I just can't stand this character! So far, all the other characters have been good, and I feel they can make this a good anime, but that damm girl. I don't mind the animation and all, but if this insufferable character is not gonna change, I'd rather drop this.

Another series with an arrogant B**** (girl). And this one starts threatnening with rape accusations straigth away. And surely the MC has no means to counterract that. Great. Have fun eating this nonsense. THe Worst 2 minutes of the new anime-season so far.

The only thing going for it is the girls are really cute. However it looks as if Iroha is the red-headed version of Himari Inuzuka and atop the already iffy premise that is a pretty big negative for me. My Sunday is already packed with shows I want to watch so I won't bother with this one.

LMAOOO THIS IS DANJORU ALL OVER AGAIN
Iroha is literally Himari v2, her VA is exactly the same, even the "BWAHA" line is the same LMAO
I fucking love super messy highschool romcom and I hope this show can make me and the whole internet crashout hard just like when Danjoru aired 😆
Also the OP SLAPS It's such a brainrot with lots of references, really encapsulates what this show is all about

didn't expect it to be this interesting tbh, iroha remembers me of nagatoro

from the 1st it was too slow tbh i got bored but when she faked the confession of love yooo i got interested, tbf the story is OK like it's a normal romance & harem anime, i wish it gets unique by comedy at least cuz it has potential

3 / 5 i really enjoyed it

So Akiteru is the dumb mc who doesn't believe in the usual anime trope.. despite him working on a game with his sensei, friend, friend's little sis lol
Iroha's making fine doyagao 😘😘
She already has a key to Akiteru's place around her neck 😏😏
and she really has it in for her Onii-chan/senpai.
I'm loving Mashiro's character more than Iroha. Mashiro's dad is really enjoying his life.. hitting on a waitress lol
The op and ed are so good ❤️❤️
Can't believe this is the work of the same author who made 'Days with my Stepsister.'

At this point, female characters like Iroha literally exist in every anime. I've read a bit of the LN and I'm not sure if she gets better but she's insufferable and i won't be surprised if her behavior and how she treats MC gets rewarded, after it happens 99% of the time. FMC can treat MC however she wants, whether it be bullying him or just getting on his nerves her behavior will always be rewarded. Now if the roles were reversed and Akiteru was the one constantly pestering Iroha, Akiteru would immediately be seen as a creep and a bad guy but it's cute when Iroha does it. Double Standards

The title makes it sound like a trashy romcom. And yep, after the first episode it looks like a trashy romcom alright. Can't complete the season without a trashy romcom.

Let's see, the main heroine is the MC's friend's sister who spends her time in his room. His friend is way too trusting... I'd never leave my sister at a random stranger's room, it doesn't matter how deep our friendship was. But I was expecting at least an explanation of why she had his key in the first episode. But guess not.

The OP was like a random mishmash of a bunch of different games. That was fun.

Iroha was kinda entertaining. Especially her cat form. But then she took advantage of being female and sent some false accusations against Aki in front of a lot of people. That shit's not funny.

At first I thought Mashiro was going to be the friend who was Iroha's sibling. But no it's a guy. I feel like it could've been interesting if Mashiro were the friend since it's an obvious love triangle instead of her being Aki's cousin... Because of course she is.

So, Aki skipped the exam to apply at his uncle's company. It doesn't matter what his condition is, if he accepts him it's nepotism. Bruh.

So far this anime's pretty weird. I hope it'll at least be funny.

Nepotism is normal and expected at family/privately held companies. Do not know if this is a publicly held one or not.
Nepotism is, of course, official policy in Evil Empires

4 years in the oven for something like this?

Iroha is so fucking annoying. I thought there was at least one thing likeable from her, but no, there isn't. Hard to believe this is from the same author as Gimai Seikatsu (which I feel indifferent about) with how chaotic everything is. A group of high schoolers and a teacher (I think) in a game producing doujin circle together, and in order for them to join a big company is for the director of the circle to date the big company's president's daugher who is also his cousin? What the fuck is this plot? I'm aware it's ridiculous by design, but it's not funny in the slightest.

Seems like a lot of people enjoyed it, so am I the weird one here?

I'm gonna give this show another chance at least until episode 3 because Hanakana is in it.

This is from the author of Gimai Seikatsu, I was hoping her other adaptation would be great but tbh this time it feels like a slop. None of the characters are likable (so far), lol the name Mashiro still reminds me of Mashiro from Detectives these days aren't crazy, she is so fun to watch

This seems to be a show directly aimed at an audience of masochists, what with the main girl, who has shown zero redeeming qualities so far, a strict teacher, and this Mashiro who is primed to be stand-offish after he opened the bathroom stall on her.

As someone who hates playing games in romance, these characters better improve quickly or I won't be able to continue with this show. I'll attempt to give it the three episode rule, but idk if I'll last that long. MC-girl needs to stop being such a manipulative piece of shit ASAP. Some teasing can be fun, but I don't enjoy abuse, and she's toeing the line between teasing and abuse. That comment about whether the police would believe him over her is especially terrifying. I think I'm talking myself into dropping this show right now, if I'm honest. If someone tells me that she gets better quickly, I might continue with this show

I like that Iroha's VA is the same as Himari from "Can a Boy and Girl Friendship Hold Up? (No, It Can't!!)!" The teasing personality really fits lol

I was wondering why Mashiro had a lot of focus in the trailer, didn't think she was Aki's cousin and now fake girlfriend😮! Wonder how this'll play out!

I had no idea (or maybe I forgot) this was written by the Gimai Seikatsu (which I loved, 10/10) author until I saw this thread. It's interesting how much of a polar opposite in tone this anime is to that one. Having said that, I already like it a lot. There was a lot to look at in the first episode. The characters are interesting and there's a lot to work with. And I don't get the feeling that this is going to be a repeat of Danjoru where the annoyance meter was off the chart. Also I hope they keep up this level of fanservice.

I had hopes early on that the main character was actually impervious to his friend's little sister's charms, but of course it's just Himari all over again without the visual appeal. I remember this being announced back in Game of Thrones times, but it does feel like someone looked at Himari and wondered what standard elements they could borrow from other anime to make it more annoying. I'm probably going to stick with it though because I'm an idiot.

It seems surreal to have this finally get an anime because I actually picked up the first LN for this back in 2019 in Japan and I had no idea what it was about, just thought Iroha was cute and it ended up being one of my fave silly romcoms. A lot’s changed since 2019, but this one will always have a special little place in my heart.

Think the first episode was a nice set up for the story and Akiteru’s dynamic with the girls. My guy just wants to go to school and become a game dev in peace and he gets roped into a fake boyfriend scheme AND has to contend with his best friend’s sister making moves on him constantly. Tbf, there’s worst fates lol

Kusunoki Tomori’s a perfect Mashiro, best girl.

I tried reading the manga adaptation before, but I can't remember the reason why I dropped it. It looks enjoyable. Well, I'll watch this now. Girls looked cute especially Iroha.

Suzushiro Sayumi's voice acting as energetic and annoyingly cute characters is so good.

A solid first episode, it felt like it was over before it had even started, which is unusual for me as I normally notice how much time has passed. I had no idea this was the same author as Days with my Step-sister, as that has a completely different tone to this show. This one is basically an ecchi comedy while Days actually seemed to be a fairly serious and thoughtful drama.

I'm looking forward to next week's episode, hopefully their teacher will be properly introduced in that episode.

Interesting start to this series as Aki immediately got 2 girls that will likely be competing over him even if they both deny that they like him in their own ways, with Mashiro saying flat out that she doesn't like him and Iroha adding 'just kidding' after flirting with him. Regarding Mashiro, she's his childhood friend (and cousin) so I wonder why she is acting hostile towards him, maybe that will be explored later on.

Side note, their math teacher is pretty hot despite her calling the students pigs, wtf lol. Anyways, I'm looking forward to watching this play out and in particular I'm curious to see how Iroha reacts when she finds out Aki has a 'fake' girlfriend and it isn't her.

It's 2025 and somehow we're still getting generic fake boyfriend troupe, teasing, confessing to your crush and backtracking instantly clichés, add a love triangle to the mix.

Oh my god, they cast Sayumi Suzushiro to play another Himari, and the show is already giving me the same vibes as “Can a Boy-Girl Friendship Survive?”.

Also, it didn't take me long to like the other female character more, just like in the other show... and of course Mashiro's not going to win.

Let's see if I end up dropping this one too...

It's amazing how Sayumin went from a perfect wife material Ijichi Nijika to two annoying 'Tease'-dere characters, the blue creature Himari and now Iroha. You can only hope it's better than the last time.
This is from the author of Gimai Sekaitsu!? I guess I do get a similar feeling with the MC, like how he's trying to secure his own future and uh yeah, Sister-not-Sister thing.

Mashiro is definitely the TSUNdere one.

The OP has a lot of references to internet otaku stuffs, like LoliKami Requiem, Kyoufuu All-Back, Suika and Vtuber stuffs to name a few.
(Oh, the singer IS a Crazy Racoon Vtuber).

I'm not sure I'm want to rewatch something like Danjo no Yuujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!)
