Ooh Ichika in that apron. She looks just like a housewife LOL

Looks like some more girls came to visit Ryo and being a womanizer, I gues that shouldn't be too surprising. I hope Ichika can get used to it. On the other hand, I like how much Rio supports Ichika as a friend by her words. Really, I think she's a great friend to have.

Tbh, I think Rio sets the standard of a role model in the show. The school festival looked fun.

That was a pretty fun episode. Ichika and Ryou have this S&M type chemistry which makes it really funny at times.

Furthermore, am I the only one who thinks the voices sound like they where recorded a little too far from their mics?

Second episode in and this shit is still more of a dumb comedy rather than that "uncomfortable"/"im literally shaking right now" anime tv show. Dude people need a hobby.

1. Either the voice lines were recorded outside of studio and we will have it like this for the rest of the season.

2. Either some of the the voice lines were recorded outside of studio and we will have it like this for only a couple of episodes.

Never expect the second episode will come out this week.
Ichika in her apron really looks like a real housewife. No wonder why Ryo will think like that.

What's up with all these recent romcom adaptations being so sub/dom heavy lmao

Anyways, this show exceeds the realms of the sub/dom thingy and is just purely creepy and predatory...it terrifies me how this still has a rating above 7 (even though the episode discussions are mostly 1/5s)

This show is definitely not my cup of tea but I'm gonna keep watching it for the sake of being able to vibe to this banger of an opening lol

Ryo is really funny. LOL As expected Ichika's friends totally fell for his looks.
Got to know that Rio cares a lot about her brother and Ichika as well. That was pretty sweet. Ryo's friend, Matsuda was also a funny guy. He's surprised as well knowing that his womanizer friend finally fell for someone.
I'm really loving this show so far. I love their bitter-sweet relationship so much.

Quite funny episode and better than the first one. Ryou is so handsome that his sister's friends already fall for him.
Ichika was so cute in Japanese dress .i don't know why i don't really care about the romance between Ryou and ichika.

I don't think is because it's romance, many people hate the age gap (27 yrs old and 17 yrs old)

Man the opening and ending songs are nice, only real highlights of this show so far for me. Comedy is still not right up my alley, although Ryou is definitely getting A for effort for trying his ass off in various ways to woo Ichika, and after saving her with the stairs fall and having an embrace, she's slowly recognizing those feelings too in her own way.

JK Ichika: *Shows up in apron*
Smooth criminal adult Ryo: IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

Well, that's fun, having younger sister Rio's friends over at home. The specific latte cup art of Ryo to Ichika...HEH. An armadillo of love.

Masuda is so over-reactive, but I'd guess because of Ryo's hidden "fetishes" that it's like so. And going over to the usual school festivities, it's not surprising at all to see both him and Ryo do some "visitation" with the usual comedic banter.

There's just something that works with this show in the comedic space, and I can't put my foot down on it, but it does have some heart in it which makes the show better IMO.

The humor in this show isn't really cutting it for me. Masuda couldn't have gotten a more obnoxious introduction than that whole bar bit. Ryou is the closest to being funny this far with his whole desperation skit, but not enough to cross that threshold. I'll give one more episode, though I don't see much point in a comedy that doesn't tickle my funny bone.

The OP is a bop though.

It's not the gap, it's that she's below the age of consent. Even the show admits he's creepy.

The whole thing is pretty cringe. The bar conversation was awful. The attempts at humor with his over enthusiastic responses, the shoving food in mouths, hitting a guy on the head with a ball etc. are all just dumb. It's not enjoyable in the least unless you're into creepy relationships.

Pretty shoujo the anime, eh.

But overall, a fun episode although some of the humour was a bit jarring at times. Also, the whole voice recording just doesn't seem to improve. Hopefully, it gets better as it progresses.

welp it only took 2 eps for the ball to start rolling. Curious to see how far their relationship will go

but what I'm more curious about is if hentai protagonist is going to be the ill fated 2nd ML in this story???

yea I think if it ends up getting too manipulative/obsessive/power dynamic, then it'll definitely be in the predatory realm. At the very least Ichika seems mature for her age (though it's only 2 eps so far) so this isn't too bad as far as age gap romances go

though tbh people tend to throw context out the window anyway when it comes to age gap romances so people will find it bad regardless. It's not like this one doesn't have any creepy moments present, but this really doesn't seem that bad so far when it comes to age gap

Why did the school feel so empty despite a festival going on???

The male mc's behavior is bothering me more than the age gap right now plus the reaction of people around him. Why would you be happy if your middle aged friend is having a crush on a high school girl??

I kinda wanna watch a few more episodes before deciding whether I really wanna drop or not. I like Ichika and Rio tbh and the music for this show is really good too. Looking forward to next week!

I heard that some didn't like how MC girl were ignored by all, even by her best friend.

This is partially explained on this episode, about him and his sister (flashback about dad and son fighting about son's some random hookup girl? his sister really hated this moment, and very likely want to do anything for his brother to stop being womanizer and focus on one only, and get him to love someone), and then he was told by his sister that if he hurt MC girl anyhow, she won't support this romance anymore.

OK, all of you who say "this isn't my thing", "age gap/she is a minor - call FBI", "i'm here only for the OP", etc. - just drop it and let the rest of us enjoy this in peace!
If you keep going, then you're just masochistic trolls.

Quite the opposite. I find this pretty realistic (for now) with the age gap, young girls attracted to older boys, the courting, etc. , while most other romantic shows are not.
Sure, there are comedic exaggerations, but what (comedy) show doesn't have them?!

I don't think is because it's romance, many people hate the age gap (27 yrs old and 17 yrs old)


The age gap in this anime isn't that bad because:
- She is almost 18;
- the guy isn't pervying on her, he's just truly in love and don't sexualize her body, just find cute or pretty how she dress or act;
- the anime graphics don't make the age gap looks too different, like when you watch an anime that a 26 years old woman looks like a loli to make an excuse to be able to se..ualize her.

anyway some bad sides from this anime is how some pervs can interpret their behavior
for example: he is saying he loves her and he keep sending gifts, she is denying and asking to stop, but sending gifts and expressing your feelings is not that invasive, and she is denying but she don't try to ignore him or look desesperate to get away from him, like when she didn't denied to take him through school
this line between expressing your feelings and actually try to do something worse in the sake of se..ual intention (you know what I mean) is what some creeps can misunderstand and use the "she says she don't like this but i'll do it anyway" line (like the anime protag uses) to do something actually bad
this is not uncommon in japan btw

the anime staff should create some scenes to keep it clear that he is not going to do anything she doesn't want to, because she is not 18 years old and she didn't gave him consent (yet)!!

It's not the gap, it's that she's below the age of consent.

Ahahhahaha
What a dumb post.
0. Fictional story.
1. She's literally not
2. And even if you want to go this idiotic route limited to only few states in burgerland and maybe FEW other countries (definitely not in the source country from where you're consuming media and you're not the target audience btw) - they aren't having sex and they won't do it because it's a comfy romcom series.
Just drop it already if you have nothing else to say about the actual episode. Or stop watching media which you aren't the target audience of.
And this is not an advice only for you.

I liked this episode considerably more than the first one.

The blond guy was a lot less creepy and stalker-ish. The pacing was much better and there were actually a couple moments that made me chuckle.

That being said, the art & animation are both still bad, it can still feel empty at times, and many things happen that make no sense just to progress the romance between the characters (like the girl tripping on nothing and the blond guy going out of character to leave her in an empty classroom to get food).

In my country, and in most of Western Europe, the legal age is 16. Even if he were 72 instead of 27, that would still be perfectly legal.

Their relationship is nobody's business but their own.
