| OP IS REALLY GOOD! ED is nice as well and visuals are good! This is actually cute. BUT, Ichika is just 17 (A MINOR) and Ryou is a 27-year-old womanizer! Well, at least, I guess, he decided to change and dedicate his life for Ichika. That's good I guess. lol. Ryou's sister, Rio, is obviously not against their relationship and is actually a shipper. lol  |
| Not sure about this one, but I'll give it a try. I hope it'll handle itself like Koi wa Ameagari no You ni, which I found really good in handling this type of situations. I can also see why others will call this creepy because the MC guy is kinda annoying. But I guess characters like him goes with these kind of shows, comedy inclined ones. With only one episode to base on, I think this show doesn't take itself seriously, it's more like comedy and side gags. OP and ED songs are good though, more Japanese artists in my playlist. |
| She's one lucky girl! I wish I can be her! This anime is so great for bisexual ā” |
| Look at that Score 1 Votes... When did MAL was invaded by SJWs... |

twonline said: Look at that Score 1 Votes... When did MAL was invaded by SJWs... Dunno, but i suspect 1 post account bots, MAL should looking into the score system and block accounts created just to altering it. Trying to report to mods, they should investigate it, can be an issue if bots start to be rampant for every anime and not only this. Anyway was a nice adaption, on the other hand josei is not my preferred genre and i dropped the manga very early cause clichè. I continue for now because animations are somehow decent. |

| Nothing special. Voice actors were plain and characters are so boring. |
 |
| So many people (and shitposters with bots) triggered over groomer male MC. |
 |
| w0w! this was a pleasant start for me! Very wholesome funny! 5/5. |
 |
| Here's the thing. I don't give two craps about the ages. But the MC dude is blander than a white background. All he has for him is he's hot |

| Hilarious but mc is very creepy lmao. I now understand why it got a low score. But since I like age gap romance and I find the show funny, it's all good. |

| Peak Josei and peak Shoujo airing this season with this and Furuba. I’m fucking hyped. Loved this first episode. People who are complaining about the age gap clearly haven’t peeped a lot of Josei stuff before. Just stick to MHA and Shaman King. |
 |
| Well I consider myself as a pretty huge creep and a dumbfuck full of different fetishes but this felt totally wrong and horrible. Never ever before I wanted to vomit during watching anything, and you know, I watched “Eromanga sensei” and liked it... From this perspective, I want to notice that something is really totally wrong with this piece of shit. Also the animation is really below average don’t know why people like it. It looks like something mediocre from early 2000’s. |
| This was really wholesome and cute, really enjoyed it. There is a age difference between them but I guess they’ll ignore it and something will work out. I loved their interactions. I’m excited for the next episode. |

LeviathanTheEsp said: Don't put the "romantic way" where it's not. Or the "Obsession". That's not ephebophilia. I mean, not even pedophilia is "obsesion" or romantic feelings. Citation needed. If you're going to bullshit what constitutes as pedophilia and what not, you better bring a medical or psychological work that backs up your BS. LeviathanTheEsp said: Actually, no. Ephebophilia is not a mental disorder because it's natural, while pedophilia is a mental disorder. Teenagers have developed their reproductive system, and they secrete a lot of pheromones. In an evolutionary sense the instincts for reproduction don't differentiate between a teenager or an adult. So, yes, it's okay to lust for a teenager. Citation needed once again LeviathanTheEsp said: Actually the age range for ephebophilia is 15-19 years old, so someone who lusts for 19 years old people is still an ephebophile. In this case IT'S NOT WRONG EVEN TO HAVE SEXUAL RELATION WITH THEM But we're not talking about 19 year olds, we're talking about a 17 year old (wich I must reafirm has been trying to get rid off what actually constitutes as a stalker). True that Japan age of consent varies from region to region and most of the time 16 is the threshold. Ichika being 17 is still iffy by society standards and heavily frown upon. This is why even teachers have a code of ethic (and even a dress code) not to involve themselves romantically or sexually with their students who are still minors and easily impressed by experienced adults in love relationships. Ryou is exactly that, an Ephebophile that can't connect emotionally with any woman of his age and thus tries to find reciprocation for his romantic feelings on a 17 year old. |
| Is the dude a masochist? Almost feels like he is. A quite funny episode. Looking forward to the next. |

Kimurah said: Citation needed. If you're going to bullshit what constitutes as pedophilia and what not, you better bring a medical or psychological work that backs up your BS. Easy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia Pedophilia (alternatively spelt paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children. https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/features/explaining-pedophilia A pedophile is a person who has a sustained sexual orientation toward children, generally aged 13 or younger. https://www.msdmanuals.com/home/mental-health-disorders/sexuality-and-sexual-disorders/pedophilia Pedophilic disorder is characterized by recurring, intense sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behavior involving children (usually 13 years old or younger). Ephebophilia: https://www.msdmanuals.com/home/SearchResults?query=ephebophilia No results in mental disorders, but: https://psychology.wikia.org/wiki/Ephebophilia Ephebophilia has been defined as a sexual preference in which an adult is primarily or exclusively sexually attracted to late pubescent adolescents(15-19). It comes from the Greek: Īφηβος. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephebophilia Ephebophilia is the primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19. Ephebophilia strictly denotes the preference for mid-to-late adolescent sexual partners, not the mere presence of some level of sexual attraction. It is not a psychiatric diagnosis. Are you really that lazy, to not google the definitions of whatever you're talking about? But dood, I should be the one saying that. You're the one who is using their own definition of pedo/ephebophilia without supporting it with evidence of any kind. Besides what I just wrote above if you're talking about teenagers without knowing what a teenager is (more specifically a post-pubescent teenager which is what ephebophilia is about), well... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puberty "Puberty is the process of physical changes through which a child's body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction. "On average, girls begin puberty at ages 10–11 and complete puberty at ages 15–17; boys generally begin puberty at ages 11–12 and complete puberty at ages 16–17." So a post-pubescent teenager has an "adult body capable of sexual reproduction". Kimurah said: But we're not talking about 19 year olds, we're talking about a 17 year old (wich I must reafirm has been trying to get rid off what actually constitutes as a stalker). We're also not talking about sexual relations in the show, but you forgot that, didn't you? Kimurah said: True that Japan age of consent varies from region to region and most of the time 16 is the threshold. Ichika being 17 is still iffy by society standards and heavily frown upon. Since we're not talking about sexual relations age of consent has nothing to do. Kimurah said: This is why even teachers have a code of ethic (and even a dress code) not to involve themselves romantically or sexually with their students who are still minors and easily impressed by experienced adults in love relationships. That's not limited to high school teachers. That includes college teachers. Do you wonder why? Because the age gap is not really a big reason. There are more important reasons, like the difficulty of dealing with a professional relation and a romantic relation and the difficulty of evaluating the student without any bias if you have romantinc feelings for them. The teacher's job is to help the students develop academically. That's why it's not okay to get romantically involved with a underage student being their teacher. But it's okay if you're not their teacher. No. As I said, your definition of ephebophilia is wrong. Did you watch the first episode? If that's called "trying to find reciprocation" then you and I are both easter rabbits. |

| Possessive creep stalking a girl. I wonder if she'll call cops on him eventually. Is this a gold-digger wet dream, the anime? (for female viewers) Or Stalking a high-school girl with benefits, the anime? (for male viewers) Since "it's a fiction bruh" she will eventually fall for him despite all the disgusting shit; instead of ignoring him, or asking male friends/family members to beat the shit out of him. Predictable "plot" Funny how Japanese find these things funny. |
| Yoo, what is this opening?! This is catchy! Probably not on AniUta yet and just checked mora, nothing yet. Can't wait to own/stream this song on my way to work. ED is also nice with some good artwork and the soft colors, love it! Oh look, someone that's pretty good at English and probably the last time we will hear it. This guy just offering a kiss or his body to a JK as if it is the most normal thing to do in the world and got told off that he's a creep, hah great! He sure has dedication though by going on in the hope something will bloom (or well, he's a total masochist) Love the serious reply when she asked him to draw her and goes; 'Oh no, I cannot. That would be blasphemy and an insult to you!'. Aaaaaaaand that's what you get when you disrupt two people at a table. Make-up, begone! |

| Not bad for a start. The characters are likeable, I also love the animation. |
| damn, my man's perverted all right! Very kinky might I add oh shit I'm getting turned on too |
 |
| I gave it a shot. Never again. Male lead is a massive creep. His little sister is an enabler. The female lead needs to learn to say no and call the cops and also needs to not talk down to trhe one person that was giving her good advice. I nearly got through the whole episode but when the older woman tried to tell the girl lead about the malelead she snapped at her. The ONE person who talked sense. "He's not that bad" Compared to what? Death by burning or death by drowning? I think what makes it worse is the cutesy romantic comedy music every time the male lead did something that made me want to punch the screen. Bad anime. BAD! Instantly dropped and edit I have it a 2 now. 1 extra point for the art. 1 point for existing. It shares it's place with the likes of Gibiate in my score ranking. |

| Pretty mediocre animation but I like the premise. Love the chemistry between the main characters. That OP though. It's so groovy! I love it! |
 |
| Is pretty good start and wholesome episode. Ryo and Ichika they so kidda hilarious couple i can't imagine if they married lmao |

Ahrum said: Is pretty good start and wholesome episode. Ryo and Ichika they so kidda hilarious couple i can't imagine if they married lmao Wholesome is not what I would describe it as. I'm curious though on why others think it's wholesome or romantic though. |
|
| This might be a season fav of mine. Very cliché but I am a simple man. The characters are quite fun especially Rio and his love for Ichika lol. OP and ED are catchy too, wtf. I like how Rio's sister is so chill about the situation too. And Rio gets heated up p quickly ruining that girls makeup. Good stuff in this episode. |
| Love this manga. Anime looks good too. I'm looking forward to watching episode 2! |

| The opening bangs, great opening, cant deny that, but the concept.... WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM, HES 27 AND SHES 17, not to mention hes rich and is quite well off from what the sister say, so if this goes public, hes in a lot of trouble, why doesnt he just wait another year?!?!? In saying that, im probably still gonna watch it, hopefully nothing bad happens before she turns 18, cause that would be weird. Not to mention that the sister is allowing this to happen..... And i thought "I Shaved. Then I Brought a High School Girl Home." was gonna be bad, in saying that, simply because of the op, this is staying on my watching list |
| Massive stinker. Mattinator95 said: He is 27 and she is 17. Don't sugar coat it. The worst part isn't the pedophilia, it's him constantly persuing her after she said no multiple times. AND how his sister is pushing them together. It's disturbing. So what is the legal age a female can date a male over 20 in Japan, People going mad at that she's 17 years old and he's mid 20s ? So if she was 18 is that somehow meant to be any different |
 |
LeviLeads said: Is it just me or are the VA's sounding like they recording in a microwave I thought there was something wrong with my TV. So odd sounding. The age difference doesn’t bother me as much as the fact that she clearly doesn’t like him and he can’t take no for an answer. That would be creepy even if they were the same age. |
| I found the first episode really funny. But I'm probably gonna have to avoid forums for this (and maybe HigeHiro) if people are going to make comments on the age difference a lot. |
 |
| Yeah, no thanks. I couldn't even finish the episode (I was close though). I don't mind the age gap (I watched Higehiro previous to this and really enjoyed it) but the fact that he's a creepy stalker and it's played for laughs I just can't... Both Ryo and his sister are terrible people. Also yeah, wtf was wrong with the voices??? |
 |
| It's pretty funny I guess. I'd much prefer if their sexes were reversed, but oh well. It's nice to see a womanizer protagonist once in a while. |
