The relationship between Watanabe and Jirou does not make any sense at all for me , Watanabe loves Minami so bad she even simps for him , but for some reason episode following episode she keeps falling harder for Jirou and i don't see a reason why , is it because they live together and got used it to ? and if so is it enough for her to abandon the boy of her dreams for a long time for the wimpy virgin-kun ?

i know this is the main plot of the anime but i need a reason to make some sense , i don't need the sudden falling in love because he is the MC , i've see this scenario trillion times ..

so i ask again was there something i missed in the anime that showed a " legit " reason why she is falling for Jirou ?

I mean from what i got it seems what she feels for Minami was less like love and more like this odd infatuation for the popular guy trope. Sure the entire situation is pretty absurd, but i think the core interaction between Watanabe and Jirou kind of works. Jirou is just the shy guy trope and Watanabe is just the “innocent gall” trope who teases him for the most part, but slowly this non romantic situation just stars to snowball into “welp i can’t tease him without feeling tingly anymore” or some tropey thing like that. Idk if it makes much sense to most people, but it crosses the bar for me, even if not by much.

The whole point of that school project is to pretend being in love with someone/being married with someone. When someone pretends to be in love, he/she will eventually think he/she is actually in love.

i get that living together has a an effect on this , but i think they ( especially Watanabe ) have taken things too much forward considering she loves another guy lol , i mean in ep 5
, i don't mind them liking each other but things doesn't make sense and going too much forward for " living together "

First love ? i don't need a reason , but if i'm already in love with someone else and actually love them ( to the point of simpin lol ) and suddenly fall in love with another one , i think i need a reason and assess the situation , i can't just abandon my first love that simply like a toy .. anyway real love is another subject i think , now this anime doesn't make any sense and that what bothers me lol , sorry if i'm being stubborn

Since episode 1, I feel that Watanabe is hero worshipping Minami. Just like how people admire Justin Bieber, Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynold; call them their crush and love; but later in life fall for Josh from High School.

It's just that! I believe the entire plot from Watanabe's side shows the faults of Hero Worship and Celebrity admiration.

I think Akari is more in love with the idea of Tenjin than the actual man. Remember in episode 3 she assumed he was into "grown-up" foods and wouldn't want his eggs sweetened, and then she's poleaxed when she discovers he has a sweet tooth. She doesn't actually know anything about him, she's just projecting her ideas of the perfect man onto him.

I think it's fairly believable that as time goes on, she starts to realise Tenjin isn't who she thinks he is and also realises that Jiro has been there supporting her the whole time.

I understand brother , it’s clearly she shifted her love towards the MC dude , the question is why and how , as a watcher i need a reason to comprehend things and understand their relationship , she’s way out of his league and she loves the “ prince “ of the school , but out of nowhere she fell for the wimpy virgin dude quickly

from what I got from this show is the popular girl falls hard for the unpopular boy and the more time they spend together the more they fall for eachother remember both of them are virgins they are having first experiences shy and awkward moments when they look in eachothers eye their hear race first kiss asking her study wearing his shirt she loves both of them but jirou is more natural than I suppose with the other guy where she has the pair pressure from friends and everyone where she is popular and has to fall for the popular boy but jirou is a more natural occurrence

yes i agree with this post i think the biggest difference are the relationships itself with the popular guy its a rather distant relationship just like maybe when people think they are in love with a hot bandmember cause theyre projecting their ideal image onto them without knowing much about them
with Jiro its a much more intimate relationship because theyre living together aka they spend more time together and get to know each other a lot better
i think the idea of the internal struggle which relationship she would prefer in the end could make it really interesting but i guess well have to wait and see

If there is no reason wait in confession between both mc there is always a reason (I mean about discussion subjects during confession) I think so......
And from my prospective, she starts looking at him from the episode she said he can have his way however he wants and he didn't take the advantage of the situation.
And then things happened and here we are.
It's difficult to hold you know it very well too.

This anime suffers from alot of things that barely make sense.
The future chapters far beyond what this season would reach have even far more things that make absolutely no sense and could resolve with a simple conversation.

That's actually not really true. Complete opposites might often find interest in the other person, but in the long run, unless they have something in common, they are very likely to break up.

but she’s not in love with that guy. How can she be? She can barely even talk to the dude. She is infatuated with him and has a huge crush on him but to actually love someone comes from truly knowing somebody and doing things together and spending time. She’s just an immature high school girl who thinks she knows about love and sex but is just as clueless about those things as the MC. She is slowly realizing she is falling in love with the MC but she’s denying it over her head telling her she’s supposed to like some guy she barely even spends time with. Obviously they’re in high school, so they think love is usually moreso “puppy love”: liking someone because of their looks, popularity, etc. and trying to put it in their heads as much as possible that that is love. But growing up is realizing that’s not love.

I know this show is already extremely ridiculous but this is actually one of the most grounded elements of the show and I think it’s why the relationship dynamics here actually end up working.

It's literally just a proximity bias with low negative interactions. The more time you spend with someone the more attached you'll become. It's a genuine hunan trait that they've recorded so her falling for him more each episode makes sense especially as basically all their interactions together have tended towards a positive outcome.

There's a similar phenomenon with music. Reguardless of how good a song is or even if you despise it to begin with the more you hear it the more you'll grow to like it. This then correlates to other songs which sound similar, the closer they sound to the one you like more/faster you'll like the new song. This is why so much of the music in the charts sound similar to each other and are of the same style. It's why you don't get a full range of music styles represented.

Latest episode has made me slap my forehead when Akari is still setting her sights on Minami as if her giving up on Minami a few episodes ago never happened. I ain't sure if the author has amnesia or that the author LIKES TO PUT AMNESIA in the main characters because it gets MORE STUPID after each passing episode, especially this episode where every main character is still wishy-washy, being unable to decide who they should be with.

This is why I claim Japanese teenage students will experience a dystopian lifestyle if this mandatory course becomes a reality in our world. Japanese education system should be abolished if that were to come true. In this story, we can held them responsible for making Akari, Jirou, and Shiori becoming more stupid and behave ridiculously. I'm surprised they still have intelligence left in passing other non-dystopian subjects.

Akari has some great friends man.

That was a fucking sad and sweet episode. I don't want Akari to end up with Minami, but that was still painful and all because of a misunderstanding.

Jiro and Akari are so sweet, the moment their marriage becomes real for real, is the day we celebrate. Really looking forward to the next episode.

I thought the transition from Minami to Jirou was done quite well tbh. Each episode we have Akari thinking a bit more about Jirou and a bit less about Minami until Minami completely shuts her down. But at that point, she even called him Jirou accidently, so in a sense it was already too late for Minami anyway.

Tbh I think it was never love to begin with.. She just mistook admiration for love. Since she's inexperienced in love that would make the most sense. Or simply for his looks and with jiro she starts to understand she likes his personality.

Like someone else mentioned she started to realize with the sweet tooth scene that she doesn't actually know him...
But yeah I also wish they had more baxkstory to why she liked Minami in the first place. The love for jiro went way too fast tho should've started around let's say ep 4 so it feels more like it developed over time. But well, it's anime and only 12 eps. Jiro and Sakurazaka make more sense since that at least had a story to it. I probably would cheer way more for Akari if there was story to it.

@Armados imho been with the opposite of myself for 6 years already xD it can work.
But we found some compatibilities along the way so could be that's why it works.
But just like in this anime, extravert and introvert can work just fine. But I guess if your beliefs are total opposite that might be an issue? Like faiths. I actually find it interesting, someone who isn't a copy of me. Like interested in how the other person thinks about situations and thoughts gives me new insights too. It's very interesting and fun to me
