Well, this was cute. Junta definitely seemed like the type of person who would go unnoticed although he has a somewhat noticable face to the audience.

On the other hand, Kubo is very noticable in class. I think the show is cute for not just her personality but also some of the cartoony expressions she displays and character chemistry with Junta. Definitely very entertaining to watch between the two.

This is just Takagi-san all over again, with HanaKana being the lovable Kubo.

The OST is just lovely from both HanaKana and DIALOGUE+ (the studio Project No. 9's almost-exclusive girl idol group).

The background character Junta Shiraishi with the alluring heroine Nagisa Kubo, man is this yet another manga I wanted to pick up, but let the anime steamroll it being the better experience. The pouts, the sweet feelings...AHHH it is fun to see both Shiraishi and Kubo interact with one another, like diabetes. Kubo sitting in front of him and Shirahishi losing all senses, it's just a matter of time before he gets infected by her.

As always, Shiraishi has to report his presence, but he doesn't want to because it's annoying, so Kubo instigates during class, and got back on her karma. Kubo wanting to get Shiraishi's phone contact, and the latter was on his way to get the new game, but got a packet of tissues instead. But eventually she got it, and this will be the start of both of their relationship.

Oh well, ain't hurt if there's one more Takagi x Nishikata like rom-com that will be fun to watch.

Getting to hear HanaKana voicing Kubo is pure bliss, this role was made for her. Love Kubo, she's so sweet. Really like the manga and glad to finally see it animated. They adapted it really well, loved the episode. Looking forward to more.

if I'm being honest with myself , I would seriously consider being alone and driving kubo-san away if this was me irl but in anime it seems nice!
As a manga reader lemme tell you that this just gets better from here on out!

That was very cute and sweet.
btw, with Shirashi's lack of presence and his invisible abilities, his ideal job is either spy or hitman. 🤣

Guys we finally found him, Kuroko's long-lost brother.. though the hair colour is not matching.

Typical teasing girlfriend series. We've plenty of it already but oh well that's just how things go these days.

What if you put Kuroko in a Tanaka skin and insert said character in a sol teasing comedy with sprinkles of romance and Hanakana.

Obviously enjoyable. Love the chibi faces.

Kubo gave me mad Mitsuri vibes especially at 17:10 when said "Shiraishi-kun's gazing far into the distance"




@ 00:43 lol

I think I prefer Kubo-san over Takagi, Nagatoro, and even Uzaki...



This episode is so adorable...

I didn't read the manga but I still like it nonetheless.
P.S. Junta is so hilarious with Kubo-san.

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.

Pine jam coming back with another potential slice of life anime.

Liked the first, the comedy is good. Would have liked the first episode to be bonding and stuff with characters meeting each other, kinda like what komi-san did, but I liked it nevertheless.

A nice easygoing and chill first episode for a show that I'm sure can be described in the same way. The interactions between Shiraishi and Kubo are amusing so this will be a nice comfort watch. 
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Must be hard to be not noticeable, and i kinda felt sad for Junta that he wasn't noticed by other people. Kubo on the other hand always get noticed and she's the only person who notices Junta. 

Kubo is super nice towards Junta. Kubo also loves teasing a little bit but its not too much. This anime is cute and wholesome, which is nice. 

Looking forward to the rest of the season.

The lack of consistency in the character designs in this opening episode was distracting: I swear Kubo's face was drawn different in almost every single scene, and not just because of its comedic exaggerations.

That aside, this is a very boneless Takagi clone apart from the weird invisibility gimmick: if Shiraishi was as difficult to find as is said, wouldn't everyone very quickly notice how Kubo can find him so easily and so consistently? Having Hanakana voice Kubo and sing the OP is nice though and that alone is enough for me to give the show a few episodes.

Kubo-san is here. Kubo is character basically made for Hanazawa Kana. Back when I read the manga I was like this has to be voiced by her. Really her voice is so soothing. Cute start. The OP and ED were nice too.

I didn't read the manga but this was a top anticipated anime of this season.

And right of the bat I'm saying Kubo is my favorite of this kind of stories. She's not a gremlin like Uzaki, not a sadist like Nagatoro, not simped by the entire class for her looks like Komi, and not a prankster like Takagi. She's just a nice girl who wants to support an awkward boy she likes. Was that difficult to do?

Pine Jam has been up to some good things lately, with DIY last season, and now this show this season. With how much I enjoyed Takagi-san, and fun fact, that was the first anime I ever watched, this show also was quite enjoyable for me. Kubo teases Shiraishi in a different way, more directed at his "invisibility" than anything else, and I did get a few chuckles out of some of the gags. Kubo isn't mean in any way either, not like Nagatoro or Uzaki, who seemed to have more malicious intent from the start.

Cute shows like this will almost always have me hooked, and a job well done here to start. Kubo's faces and pouts were quite adorable, and who was that other guy again? Oh right, Shiraishi, I forgot he existed for a second there! He could be quite entertaining as well.

It gives me some Takagi san vibes, but being less annoying xdd

the protagonist doesn't seem like he's going to be like the typical one who imagines things in exaggeration, it seems that he simply doesn't know that kind of (romantic) things.

I think it's going to be an anime to "purify the soul" and it would have no other objective than to be simple entertainment, personally I like it and I think I'm going to follow it for the rest of the season.

Decent start, Kubo is a bit manipulative but I think she means well. She's also cute and seemingly popular so why would she go for the quiet invisible guy?

No matter, I am getting Takagi-san vibes (I've only watched the first season and an OVA so far) and I was fond of that series with the teasing so hopefully this goes in a similar path and I'm thinking Shiraishi will open up and not be as invisible anymore.

This is released alongside Ijiranaide, Nagatoro-san, which is also very similar to this one. As a manga reader this is probably one of my favorite "teasing MC" type of anime. I hope this will be a good adaptation!

This ended up being way better than I thought it would be, the art style is simple but very nice, I really love Kubo and Shiraishi’s moments together so far too and I’m sure they’ll get even better as it goes. I’ll say this reminds me of two things, the first being an obvious one which is Takagi-san, it definitely feels like it’s in the same vein but of course the chemistry is way different and it’s not about Shiraishi trying to one-up Kubo lol, and Kubo’s teasing methods are different as well. The other show this reminds me of is Shikimori-san, mainly because of Shiraishi having a near supernatural trait, this time it’s being really unnoticeable lol, which is already making for some hilarious bits.

But I’m a big fan of Takagi and Shikimori so you know I’m already a big fan of this show, definitely a potential favorite right off the bat. And what makes it even better is not just the really nice OP, the ED is being done by DIALOGUE+ and it’s already one of my favorite EDs of the season, I promise I’m not biased because DIALOGUE+ is one of my favorites lol, not only that the visuals were really nice too. Pine Jam is knocking it out of the park with anime recently!

I'm so far in the manga I absolutely forgot how at first I saw Kubo as another teaser (like Nagatoro and Takagi), and DUDE, she REALLY WAS! Shiraishi's reactions are absolutely great, Kubo being dubbed by the legend Kana Hanazawa is a pleasure to my ears, visuals look solid and OST very nice, I'm expecting a lot from this one, since it is my favorite even among Dangers of the Heart, The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses and this season's Tomo-chan wa Onanoko!

The chemistry between Shiraishi and Kubo is adorable. It's cute how she teases him, and their chibi faces are also cute and funny. It's pretty unbelievable for someone to be invisible when they're literally there, and it seems it doesn't bother him that? Since he's used to it? It's nice that Kubo's the only one who notices him right away, and he should appreciate that.

I was thinking about what kind of distinct quality the guy might have had that made this girl try to flirt with him all the time. That's when I cracked the code; Not having a distinct quality is a distinction in itself, just like this anime with no good quality going on. yeaaaah I'm gonna skip
