Nice decent little show so far, seems like a less-obnoxious Komi-san. The way they got to the point of talking to each other was pretty contrived though; after getting the "cold shoulder" twice why didn't he try the neighbor to his right instead?

Can't believe that this is way waaay more fun than the overpraised Komi-san.
Those two are such weirdos.

I feel like there is some mystery in this anime. Aharen says she's been talking normally this whole time and yet all of a sudden Raido can hear her fine? I wonder if they explain that eventually.

Still a very good start. Cute, Funny, and very interesting.

I liked this, but it just felt like a few shorts jammed together. I don't have a problem with this, it's just that it doesn't really feel really connected.
Very cute and relaxing first episode!

I think the show really put a great precedence on the chemistry between these 2 characters and i am so far really enjoying it.

I am looking forward to seeing this relationship grow and I am truly enjoying the stories that are being told by the writers so far.

I also noticed that this show is going to be using some 3d animation like we have seen show in most anime in recent years BUT I think they are doing it beautifully. They are only applying that type of animation for background individuals and that is it. All the main characters and background scenery is beautifully drawn. This is how everyone should be doing it.

Why doesn't Raido just ask her out? Aharen seems receptive enough and has no problems getting close from the get go.

Oh wait, that's right ...then the anime would end immediately LOL.

First thing I realized as I watch the episode is this might be the relaxing and wholesome anime of Spring 2022. The minute we got into the episode, Raido introduced himself then missed Aharen's introduction. And that was the start of Raido interacting with Aharen a lot of times. As it progress, the two slowly became close to each other. It has some comfy vibes with the mix of comedy. A perfect show for relaxing. Great episode 1, I was impressed and I keep thinking it was like Komi-san can't communicate.

One of the cutest anime I have ever watched. In the anime info genre is only comedy but there is a hint of romance to it. Super chill anime. Cant wait for the next episode to air.

Lol. Practically Komi-san can't communicate but the cute loli version.

Now seriously, this was such a cute start. The interactions between Reina and Raidou are truly enjoyable to watch and man, I swear I can't help but keep comparing Reina to a puppy with just how clingy she acts towards Raidou. She's so adorable ♥

That 20-minute episode felt like an hour. So far, both of our protag's extremely bland and conventional, made unbearable by the ridiculous amount of monologue and dead air. Comedy is annoying with the desperate slapsticks. Not to mention the already two recycled frames in just the first episode. But I guess it's not the worst I've seen, and that's just rom-com for you. I'll most likely see where it goes and stick with it for the meanwhile.


Just by looking through your favorites it's already reassuring that this is not going to be your cup of tea. Also the story ain't deep, it's just some repetitive humor and such.

Pretty cute looking anime, got a few chuckles out of it as well. Aharen reminds me of Hinamatsuri because of the way her head is drawn lol.

Though I may start to get bored if it becomes too formulaic.

This was kind of...... boring.

To be fair, I think this could get good once other characters are introduced. However, the story with just Aharen and Raidou was painfully uninspiring.

All I will say is this.

No harm shall come to this smol baby. I will do everything in my power to ensure this smol baby is protected. I will go to war to ensure this smol baby is kept safe. I am prepared to die a thousand deaths if it meant this smol baby was allowed to live a rich and prosperous life.

All jokes aside, I think I'm going to like this show. Aharen is sort of like an anti-Komi. Also, the straight laced no nonsense male lead is a breath of fresh air for these types of shows.

Wonder how they are going to spice this up. 1 Episode of "can't communicate" jokes and it has already pushed towards too much for me personally. Well, I hope the next characters can add some flair to it or its moving in a different direction than that alone

This was way better than I thought it would be. It's full of the kind of comedy I'm into, and I love the dynamic between the two main characters. The art and animation is pleasing and well-produced (besides some of the 3D background characters looking awkward), especially the OP. And it has Minase Inori. I can't wait for next week.

A very enjoyable first episode. I can see myself anticipating new episode every week. I'm usually not into small female characters, but Aharen is so cute. I like Raidou's tsukkomi; they are short but spot on.

Oh my that was super cute and hilarious at the same time :'D The whole episode got me going either LOL or awwww. It's fun seeing two deadpanned leads. Love the ending, I forgot Hakoniwa Lily was doing the song, so when I heard the voices, it was a nice surprise~

Okay, but that after credits scene slightly worries me a bit. Hopefully that character won't be over protective of Aharen or something (to an annoying degree).

Very strong start. Loved the subtlety and care around how two introverted people communicate. Also cute as all heck and has a banging OP. Raidou-kun is very much a literally me character too.

not the biggest fan of this new trend of giant boy and small girl for comedy duo's but like senpai is annoying this seems to be on the more cute wholesome side of things and damn i got more laughs than something like komi-san in just this episode that triple take got me good

what the hell is this creature is right in describing Aharen

Man I am such a sucker for this shit. I have to go get my blood sugar tested now...

This is already multiple steps up from the only other thing I remember from this studio, which was Otherside Picnic. Not that they're really comparable at all, but whatever. Had no expectations going in, was not disappointed at all. Love it.

That was a cute start to the series. Raidou really had no idea what he was getting into with Aharen. The paper communication was pure comedy and uncontrollable at one point lol. A lot of moments had cracked a good laugh in me. Well, this series is one that I'll sit through, seems like a perfect watch after a long day of work. Spring season is already looking so much more refreshing than the last bland season.

Also the ending, do we have a yandere there Oo.

Inorin as Aharen Reina, I love it! Is it just me or the first episode feels way longer even it's just like the regular ones?

OP and ED are both good and cheerful, it's a total plus! Then we have our mains, Raidou and Aharen, those two oddballs are so cute together. they already look like a couple in just a few days after their class started lmao.

Anw, I can definitely see that this will be a therapy show of the season.

I'm going to get diabetes from this show, lol.

anyway I'm 100% sold on this show now. Aharen seems pretty autistic, lol. Like, she's unable to properly judge distance, bad at reading social situations and cues, does a lot of downright weird things that she doesn't understand to even be weird unless it's directly communicated to her, and so on.

also I love how Raidou just accepts her weirdness and lets her be herself. he's kinda cool.

Quite a nice school the cast attend at. The contrast of the sakura blossoms in full bloom with the start of the new school year really was perfect. Gotta give Raido credit for effort though despite Aharen's reluctance to speak. Still it was cute seeing them share a book while giving both the first real opportunity to interact. The look that she gave when Raido merged their desks together though was priceless. Still Raido's determination really is impressive as the methods he attempts as well. Looks like Aharen's a regular at the arcade lol. But thats some talent she has with the cranes. While troublesome the effort made into making lunch for Raido really shows the change that their bond is going through. Overall a really enjoyable opening ep that introduced a very curious pair of characters and the struggles that both go through as they start a new chapter in life.
