Imidietly we are greeted with QUALITY ENGRISH!
This seems to be quite wholesome, but 10 years is white an age gap and Ryo was quite creepy. O hole that will change. Anyone checked wether Twitter is on the move?

Ah shit. Another masochist has been born. Jokes aside, that was actually a pretty good debut. I like the humor, though I find the artsyle a bit lacking in depth. Still a pretty solid start.

watched this one with zero expectations and you know what, it was good. Definitely needs improvement but not a bad start. One downfall for me is the art style, it was not very good... Nonetheless, looking forward to what the next episode will bring.

I like the whole parody thing this series is doing... also, is it just me or is Masochism the new thing in the rom-com genre? Last season it was Hori and now this guy.

Love the OP and ED.

bruh why do the chara designs look straight from a hentai short lmao.


But decent start, digging the character dynamics so far and Ichika's VA is doing a pretty good job. tbh the main things I can see that would ruin this would be either if Ryou pushes things too far (which seems like it would be the case lol) or the introduction of a love rival that does nothing but cause silly drama.

Though tbh I'm not really expecting much romance wise. Light-hearted age gap romances barely actually progress in any meaningful way and if they do, they're usually met with the "wait until graduation/adult" line so hardly anything happens regardless. Think this series will just be more of the banter





one things for sure that OP and ED are absolutely bangers though

Ryo and Rio are insane, no doubt about it. Props to Ichika for holding on for so long, doubt she'll be able to for very long tho.

Production isn't anything insane, just the average.

This is clearly gonna be tied with Hige wo Soru for triggering the SJW's this season, can't wait till they get their hands on it

The opening of this episode was really good. The ending was really good, but i hope there will be a little bit more comedy in the next episodes. It might just be me but there are more romance than comedy in the first episode. It might just not be my type of comedy but i will not judge after only one episode. I think it was a little bit funny but i hope they will combine the romance and comedy a little bit more than in the first episode. The opening and the ending was 10/10. Probably one of the best opening/ending i have heard in a while. Conclusion is: OK episode but i hope there will be a little bit more comedy than it was in the first episode

The ED is really my style. Nice visuals and a relaxing song I could listen to any day.

Ryo is most definitely straight forward when it comes to Ichika. Can't hold back his love to save his life xD. They look good together though. Looking forward to seeing how their relationship with develop.

The first episode was on the solid "bad, I might drop it after the next episode" level and not because of the age difference between these two, that can be handled pretty well like in the anime After the rain. Ryou is an irritating idiot and not of the funny kind, someone who seems to be a womenizer but after two sentences sounds more like douchebag. I simply can't and won't be able to root for this relationship, don't see the point in following what happens with them in the long run.

I've heard enough about this episode to know I would rather eat dog poop. No make that FORCED to eat dog poop. That would be more wholesome.

From what I got. Guy immediately stalks under age girl (may be legal in Japan but she's still in school so hell no) . Doesn't take no for an answer and is a grade A stalker.

But you know what. I''ll watch this fist episode to give it a shot. Got to get my vomit bucket and stick to hit myself with just in case though.

i don't know why most voted on the lower score here but this one has everything i hoped for it has good charisma between lead characters , good animation , good starting point for a story build up and most of all it's a romcom Anime with age gap my favorite genre really can't wait for next episode might also go read the manga after Episode 12 if i'm not satisfying enough with the Anime conclusion

Mildly cute, though I can't help but think the premise probably wouldn't fly if this were tried in the West in 2021, but maybe I'm wrong. Mostly I found it amusing that two anime I've watched now within the last week have used The Simpsons D'oh!

EDIT: Holy hell, 91 1/5 votes and counting? Guess I was underselling the controversial premise. XD

Initially I thought that I wouldn't really mind the show because I already love Takane to Hana which has a similar age gap but the persistent behaviour felt a little uncomfortable tbh.
As long as the guy doesn't become too obsessive or creepy I won't really mind watching it.

Am I not allowed to say you're a bunch of creeps ? You're free to watch this, I'm free to say it's garbage. Are you scared we will cancel the show ?
Also you're the one who needs a reality check. This shit totally happens IRL, except the cute/comedy filter only exists in the mind of the apologists.

Not many redeeming qualities but the humor is okay. The mc is sus as all hell, but more so because he is pretty forceful with his feelings when she is not interested rather than the actual age gap. I'm gonna keep watching but I dislike the mc.

I doubt those are real votes. Every show that aired today has a huge amount of 1/5 votes so those are most likely bots.

Given the opening scene with the dude, at first I was like yeah that's super creepy, but I thought the dude was actually the dad of the high schooler so moments later when I found out it was her older brother was a bit of relief. Pretty funny so far, looking forward to more.

Looking past the morally questionable nature of the anime, the production values are really poor.

The color palet is boring as fuck. The animation sometimes have some neat character animation but most of the time it looks unappealing.

Where did these voice actors record their lines? They sound like they recorded inside a glass jar. Definitely a big fuck up if you are going to fuck up such a basic thing.

As for the rest of the anime, it is pretty mediocre. Comedy ranges from kinda funny to precictable. Characters are mostly uninteresting, with the most interesting sadly being the creepy 27 year old.

Yeah not a very good anime. Probably gonna drop it soon

I just watched this on Crunchyroll (not Amazon).

I was really wondering how they would make a romance out of a high school girl and an office worker. Well done. Cute. Loved the banter. Spring is off to a good start


Hahahaha. I didn’t realize this was ACTUALLY controversial.
I know some 27 year old who are children and some 17 year old who are well beyond their years.

That said, until a few decades ago, most places in the world had legal marriage around 16 with parental consent.
I get in this day and age the need for a legal age but seriously she is obviously not 12 but within a few months of 18, legal age in most countries as being considered an adult.

Anyway, I liked the anime episode I watch. It was hilarious and light hearted. RomCom for sure.
