Could someone please explain the conversation at the end when the two girls are talking at the bus stop?

I didn't get the brunette's point.

Also, can someone explain whey the main female character has blue hair and what it means about there character?
@ejleon Afaik? Rion is trying to see if Yuu is available. She's admired whoever made her bracelet due it's beauty & what her Momma (presumably no longer with us) said.
Himari is deflecting, making jokes, not wanting to face her own feeling for Yuu which are FAR beyond being friends. But she's immature & frightened.

Himari loves Yuu's passion about his crafting, and thinks no other girl will ever see that. However? Rion does see that, in fact she fell in love with someone she'd never even met. That's the basis of her unusual question at the bus stop. But she knew Himari knows who made her bracelet...

Blue hair (or green, purple, pink & etc) is an "anime thing".
iirc there's a saying that "the girl with blue hair always finishes second". I don't think that though.

This is terrific! OP and ED are very good, the comedy is very funny, the romance will be "sizzlin" at a minimum!

The MC boy is quiet, but not a pushover! The MC girl girls is boisterous, but genuine in her feelings. The 3rd wheel is both quiet and boisterous, she's very interesting!

I totally ship Yuu + Mimari, they're adorable together! But a Rion + Himari ending would also make me very happy!

I had this idea right from the start:

Thank you for responding and explaining, I appreciate it.

But I thought Himari asked Rion if she likes him, right outside the school gate, and she responded “No!”?

So the conversation after was confusing to me, I was not understanding her about loving someone she never met, when she previously denied liking him.

Did she suddenly realize it was Yuu at that moment or something ?

Another Blue-Haired girl? 🤤

Reminds me of Makeine.

She's more aggressive than the guy...

Finally, a new entertaining series.

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.

Can’t wait to see how much this relationship will last. I mean, Natsume and Himari seem to get along very well, she even supports him in his flower accessories shop and so far, everything is okay.

That girl, Enocchi, might change everything and be interested in Natsume. Enjoyable episode and I hope this anime won’t disappoint.

Can they stop copy & pasting MC designs bruh I'm tired of seeing MCs with the same black hair and bangs. At least this one has more personality than the others though. He reminds me of Gojo(My dress up darling) with his crafty hobby, which I like. Hopefully it gets more interesting because right now it seems just your typical romcom

I do really like the characters and their dynamic, the art and animation are solid to great, but not really excited to get into the drama they've set up. Also a little too much clumsy exposition for my tastes.

For once a blue haired girl isn't judged based on hair color

This is pretty cute so far. I don't understand why they aren't dating shm they're perfect for each other

Himari is so cute ;-; she's not the typical FL you'd expect and its quite refreshing. She reminds me of Marin <3

The 2nd girl seems intriguing though. She's definitely into Yuu and putting pressure on Himari.

So Suzushiro-san is Himari again in this show. I really love her voice.

From my experience boy and girl relationship can survive! I've been friends with this girl since 19yo, through college and our first job. Over the years, we still meet and catch up. Even now we are both 31yo.
@bassyey As a girl myself, its nearly impossible. Y'all are one of the lucky ones bc someone always catches feelings

the first episode is fun to watch and how the interaction between the characters is interesting. the romantic comedy series offered is very unique, the blue himari is very cute, funny, but aggressive and the chemistry between himari and yuu is very good.

Promising start. So far all characters seem fun, but Himari sure takes the lead.
For "just another romcom", it feels somewhat fresh.

This season, it’s a fun comedy anime to catch each week.

But honestly, I didn’t get what they were talking about at the bus stop at the end of the episode. I really hope it doesn’t end up being some cheesy love triangle.

@cooldogmom I understand that. That's what most people think too especially when the girl is really pretty, like my friend is. But the thing is I feel like I got immune to seeing and having physical contact with beautiful woman because of her lol. We both had partners too.

My only wish is she introduce me to her pretty friends.

I hope the MC and himari does NOT end up together. Hate her guts. The way she talks all about friendship when the moment he stops making the flower accessories she says it'll end, she's wanting way too much for her so "precious" friendship. Hope MC gets to stay with that new girl at the end of the episode.
Himari also wants mc's wife to accept their "friendship"?? She's unreasonable at the very least with that selfishness. I'm watching that looking forward to her downfall.

I loved this episode, the lighting, music choice, and flashback moments with an almost nostalgic tone. Himari is the type of girl I'd want to date. She's just so clingy and teasing. Something about that I just really like. I think the comment above me said it best she is just the perfect little gremlin.

The main lead is very entertaining once again in these romcoms. Reminds me a bit of Makeine in the character dynamics but with a more focus on traditional romcom goodness. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping Himari wins.

One thing I love is inner monolouges from Male Romcom Protagnists, and this shows seems to have quite a bit of that so far, which is perfect for me.

For once, I can have an image to go along with my comments since I was being a pirate today.

Yeah strong Yanami Anna vibes from Himari. I have such a soft spot for the goofball teasing type. Himari's very expressive. I think if the show spends its time focusing on Himari learning the difference between physical attraction and real love that might be a very interesting arc.

This episode was pretty split between Himari and Yuu as far as perspective goes, we got to see quite a bit of both of their internal thoughts. I prefer this to, say, Blue Box, which mostly keeps the girls' perspective hidden except for a few episodes and forces you to just spiral with the MC. I think that's one of the reasons so many people liked Hina over Chii in that show, Chii was just totally inscrutable.

The animation and art look nice and I'm really enjoying the personalities of everyone but Yuu, he's just a little boring. Hopefully he gets more development. Show us why these girls are interested in him, other than that he's a diligent worker. So often the MCs in these shows are bland author-inserts, totally lacking in charisma. We need more nice cute boys who deserve all this attention.

That said, I love the vibe. I would imagine this will be a fairly straightforward love-triangle romcom but as long as the characters stay strong this has a lot of promise. Looking forward to more.

Leave it to Sayumi Suzushiro to voice a genki girl xD.

Man, Himari was perfect with long hair... of course they had to nerf her smh. Gotta say, I'm not sure if I'm on board this ship tbh, I'm usually a fan of characters like Himari but I'm not sure I like the combo of clingy and affectionate while dating other guys and having that promise of getting together with the MC when they're 30 if they're single. Like, if you're going to date... date already!

Soooo... If I'm being honest, I think I like Rion better for now.

First episode didn't leave me that excited but let's see where this goes.

I like Himari's voice and character design, but I don't enjoy the whole "he belongs to me but just as a friend" aspect or the "comedic" parts. The main guy was created with everything set to default except he likes flowers and making jewellery. I feel like this is going to be a very tedious watch.

These kind of anime with a different initial approach are definitely interesting to watch once in a while.
The starting point of he relationship between Yuu and Himari isn't Love in first sight or an act of kindness, it is just a friendly and fun instance of getting interested in the hobbies of the oher person and the same vibes. It was fun to see these continuous friendly acts throughout the first episode and the vibes similar to Hina from Blue box( it still hurts when I remember the 24th ep).
Anyways, interested in how it progresses throughout the first season,
So, Can a boy-girl friendship survive? No, it can't.

Sorry if i didn't write correctly. In my opinion, I think it's a little bit strange the type of anime of romance that they are writing, like the scenary of doing the accesories to open a shop is interesting but it can't be compatible with an amorous triangle, i want to be wrong with my speculations.

First episode done and it started off decent mhm.

FMC Himari is a fun girl to watch and yes, she sure is clingy to the MC Natsume at a lot of times knowing they're bffs. Being an accessory master definitely sounds fun to watch for.

Curious about how "the first girl wins" trope is going to play out here seeing she has short hair added into the mix.

Oh my god! Himari made me enjoy every single second of this episode! She made me fall in love with the anime, and I think she might be the only character I’ve liked so much that I’d consider putting her in my top 10, just from one episode!

In general, I really love cheerful and optimistic characters. I always feel like those kinds of characters make hard things seem easy, soften the tough moments, and make the impossible feel possible!

I like characters who constantly remind you of the positives, and Himari truly has all those traits.

Also, I think the ending might go viral, people really love girls doing TikTok-style dances. Anyway, I’m super excited for this anime and will definitely follow it passionately. I hope episode two comes out soon!

interesting dialog, but flash back & forward with their personalities feel rather jumpy disjointed.
Inuzuka very inu style clingy & fun energetic. talk of marriage yet friendzone quite odd tho.
Natsume became quite cool just in 2 years, but still reserved.
Feel like Bisque with mc focused on the craft, with his friends collaborating.
Enomoto kinda scary. Shinji such a gaslighter troll lol. fun OP dance.
