| This was a nice start. Seems much more wholesome than citrus (which is a big plus for me). It looked very pretty and there were some nice shot choices and transitions. I was kinda surprised about the immediate falling in love thing, but at the same time I wouldn't have expected it to be the senpai who would develop feelings first, so I'm kinda excited for this. |
RobertBobert said: For some reason, shipers think that asexuality is when you develop romantic feelings for other people for a very long time. For example, one guy from Saiki Kusuo was considered an asexual only because he was indifferent to romance and the most beautiful girl in the school. idk what other people think (and i specified aro/ace...not just ace) but I found the whole talk about Koito seeing love in manga/movies/etc. and understanding what it's supposed to be but not feeling it very relatable...though, in her case it's unclear if she just means the very over-exaggerated love portrayed in media...or romantic feelings in general. And when the senpai girl (i don't remember her name yet) was talking about how people always discuss romance and how it's expected and how not only other people think you are weird but even you end up think so because you are not interested (great example wass Koito's friends and their boy talk). That is the reason why I could read it as aro/ace...not because senpai is turning down all those people. |
| Nanami fell in love felt kind of sudden. The rest of episode was nice, I guess. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| What's this? A yuri anime without the girl forcing herself on the other? No groping, forcing a kiss, or anything like that? Must be some kind of miracle. Proud of you, anime. Keep it up. |

That is the reason why I could read it as aro/ace...not because senpai is turning down all those people. Well, I do not pretend to be an expert on this topic, but personally I read the first episode only as an attempt to show the difference between the idealization of romance in the media and the development of feelings in real life. I was also a teenager and I know very well how easy it is to fall in love at this age (for example, once I fell in love with a girl just because she somehow accidentally said that she liked me), but but if we compare the image of romance in culture and real life, it may seem that at least half of the people in the world are asexuals. Therefore (again, I didn't read the manga and judge only by the first episode), I see it first as story about teenage experience, and only then as story about qeer relationships, whatever they might be. |

| I'm really really really really realllyyyyy happy that this got an adaptation. Solid first episode. The colors were hella vibrant and hella nice!! And the scene where Nanami was there for Yuu when she gave her answer to the guy and after that was just...asdhgfio <3 |
| I've been waiting for this for the longest time! We'll see how well it sticks to the manga. Beautiful art and animation especially the first-person scenes! I look forward to the rest of the series! |
| I found myself wishing she would end up with the guy that waited a month for her and just make it a yuri how with literally no real yuri. Would have been a pretty sick joke |
ABDoesThings said: Lithianic said: Yeah you're right, the episode aired a little more than a chapter of the manga. So let's see, I've read the manga as well and it's quite sad. I'm still waiting for the next update though. Damn the author takes a while to make new chapters. But it's a good story. Even though I'm not too into romance. i'm so highly impressed with the animation. this is movie tier budget production. the 1st person view looks hella smooth and natural despite uncommonly used. this is one of my fav shojo ai. its not your typical romance. it'll dive deep into complicated feelings. so i assure you guys it keeps getting better. btw, its more to SHOJO AI, not YURI and almost no fanservice. eventho its shojo ai, the plot is just so good. well, my opinion tho, after reading hella lots of shojo ai manga. if it'll end at the part i think it will, i'll most probably cry. it will slowly buildup the tension for the finale. i dont think i've ever got heartbroken by a shojo ai series. yeah, the characters are solid! dont even think of dropping midway, guys Yeah. Its all about how good the actual story is, with or without romance. More and more romance stories have become stale and saturated. People usually complain if the mc took ages to confess. Now people are EVEN complaining how fast touko confessed. Maybe they never heard the phrase "love at first sight"? So yeah, spice it up just the right amount to make the story really good. Haha |
| Wow. I was really surprised. I was never a big fan of shoujo ai, but I had to appreciate this show. The story doesn't look half-baked. Relationship build-up isn't aggressive or forced compared to other shoujo ai shows. I just hope rest of the episodes turn out as good as this one, and they don't mess with the gentle feel this show has. Loved the theme song. |
 |
| hmm, allright... |
 |
| I was reaaaaaally annoyed by these main two characters, it's hard to explain why but I felt like their whole demeanor was so shitty, can't help but hate them. A girl blinded by manga and love songs that tramples all over a kid's love feelings because they don't match the ideal in her head, making him wait for a fucking Month before telling him she didn't feel the same way from the start. Even though in her words she "liked him"... as a tool apparently. Then there's the scene where the student council girl just up and throws MC into her arms to tell her she's starting to like her --keep in mind they've known each other for... 2 days?!-- if this was a man-woman scenario it would be considered 100% sexual harassment, who the fuck wrote this? It all seems so fake and the character's setting and behaviour super twisted only to create fake drama. I love shoujo and I've watched a lot of yuri before but the start for this really fucking sucks. The art looks very nice though. |

tottobennington said: I haven't watched the episode yet but can some one answer me this: 1: is this yuri one where we have the main ship growing slowly but whitout over melodramatic shit? Lol I can tell you already the first episode is full of fake melodrama shit, the characters behave like aliens because I guess that's what gays look like to straight people? But really it's just to create drama. Mormegil said: What's this? A yuri anime without the girl forcing herself on the other? No groping, forcing a kiss, or anything like that?

I mean except for the scene in the very first episode where the senpai aggressively pulls the other girl into her arms to tell her she's starting to like her.. sure, no force there... |

But really it's just to create drama. Now that i watched the first ep i can say that i liked it (it wasn't mind blowing but it was ok) As long as they don't introduce new girls/guys to slow down the progression in the relationship / to generate problems in the relationship LIKE FCKING CITRUS... I'm ok with this |

| I absolutely loved this! I feel like I’m already obsessed with this anime and it’s just been episode 1 airing.. hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 😍😍😍😍 |
 plz @ me |

Even though in her words she "liked him"... as a tool apparently She "liked him" as a friend, she didn't want to be in a relationship where she doesn't have special feelings for the other person and she doesn't believe she will develop any. Hypothetically, if she had said yes and later the guy says 'I love you' and she's like 'thanks?' it would be worse than rejecting him initially. |

| Great first episode! I actually read the manga page by page after this episode to compare. Suffice to say, This adaptation is PERFECT! Truly 1:1 down to the dialogue. Of course, the Anime is much more expressive and added a few more scenes to make it natural rather than moving from one panel to the next. I'm telling you, it's the EXACT same scenes and dialogue. I really wish more Anime's would follow this kind of format. I really love the art of the manga. It's what drew me in and eventually I also discovered CItrus as well. I really can't wait for the next episode! The chapter of the manga ends the same way as this episode minus the last council celebration at the end. |

Its a yuri (okay shoujo ai) manga, dont look for something deeper in it. |
 |
What is that even supposed to mean? lol, why would the fact that the plot revolves around homosexual romance mean it can't be deep or make sense or have likeable or relatable characters? |
|
| I'm a little disappointed really. I probably shouldn't be but I've bin reading the manga and almost every single thing was exactly like the manga. Same lines and everything. There were a few that aren't but it was for the most part. I firmly don't complain about stuff sticking to the book but it was just to much for me. That's just my opinion though. |
 |
| The first episode was just okay |
 |
nekoapril said: The episode was okay. But how can this senpai fall so fast in love and then immediatly confess? lol I don't like it when characters fall in love after they've only seen each other maybe two times .____. Exactly my problem with this episode. Everything was going on quite nice and then a love confession? Well...That escalated quickly |
| that escalated really quickly... |
| Finally some decent yuri gbless Try as I may, I don't really understand Nanami. It could just be that in the spur of the moment she was overwhelmed with feelings of "here's someone just like me" so she just blurted that out and acted on it. Maybe she's actually quite an impulsive person underneath that calm and cool exterior. I've only read a little of the manga but await the sads and angst. Loved the atmosphere + the ED is cute and fitting |
| Usually turned off by Yuri anime like "Citrus" but this one actually seems good so far. Looks like this will end up being the first yuri anime that I actually finish. Respect to the guy that confessed to Yuu. He handled rejection like a boss. |
 |
| A lot of drama is coming for sure...Touko fell in love with Yuu so quickly... |

Valravnn said: I'm finding it difficult to identify the ending song for the first episode.. Could someone help me pls? (PS. It's not 'Hectopascal' ) It's OP song [Kimi ni Furete] used as ED. |
| ???? Can't say I'm too impressed. It looks pretty, but I guess I'm just not really interested in what's going on or what could possibly happen out of the premise so far.;; |

Nah, I create stories myself, so continuing on with something I really don't like helps me understand what I feel works and doesn't work. I can watch whatever bad anime and think, "So this is what I'd do differently to make it better". Also, interestingly enough, I tend to really like how they wrap up shows that I don't like-- maybe not just out of relief. I do need to know what happens in between to reach the wrap up point though, so I've gotta watch the whole thing. Meanwhile, there are a lot of shows where I like nearly every episode except the last one. A show could have been in the running to be a favorite, but the last episode made me feel it's one of my least favorite anime of all time. And then there are anime in which I really don't like the first episode, but as it goes on I end up liking them so much that they end up being a favorite. In fact, on my MAL favorites, there are two anime of which I really didn't like ("hated", "dreaded", back then "actively crapped on"), but then I slowly began to love them after maybe looking at them in a different way. I would have completely missed out on them if I had dropped them altogether. For some people, it works to just drop things; that's fine. For me though, I think it works best for me to keep watching. If it ends up reeeally bad, then hey, I've got another anime to talk about around the campfire-- in which I will be roasting it over. Thank you though, ha hah! |
| i don't have what to do and animes like these are always on my radar and then i saw people comparing this to citrus for some reason while even saying it's better than citrus, which was amazing from start to finish with a little hiccup in the middle so i decided i'll start watching this as there are only 4 eps left so i won't wait that long for the conclusion that being said, the first episode was goddamn awful...? boring characters, boring setting and their interactions were shit and then this chick breaks character completely and the way it was portrayed was so bad. I'm not gonna judge teh anime by 1 episode but citrus ep 1 was 300 times better than this |

(which ended up made it better than Cirtus). You just need to keep watching. What doesn't make sense right now will get explained in the future and you're supposed to be confused by that one girl action. |

| This show has the most beautiful artstyle I've seen in a long time. The episode itself was a promising start although that confession scene went 0-100 in a flash. I can't help but notice that the beginning was eerily similar to the first episode of Citrus (Touko even bears a striking resemblance to Mei). Hoping there's less drama than Citrus though because that's what made it less enjoyable for me. |
 |
| B-E-A-U-TIFUL Man, why did I start watching this almost 2 months late? I just try this out of curiosity coz its the top #1 weekly anime on Animetrending.com. I was like, what is this anime? #1 topping SAO, Goblin Slayer, Bunny, and To Aru? This must be good. No regret. After the episode 1, I was craving for more yuri episodes. Good thing there's already a lot of episodes available. Animation is so great. I feel like I'm watching a movie. The lighting, details, and even some background noises are very well made. The cliff hanger at the end. I'm not a fan of Yuri but this one definitely gets me. |

| lots of music - |
| Ah, I'm happy I've checked it out. I was afraid it will be boring (bc high school romance, I'm a bit too old for that) but it was very heartwarming. |
