LETS GOOOOO!! When I saw manga like Nagato-san, Tonikawa, Kanojo mo Kanojo and Komi-san getting adapt, I knew it was just a matter of biding my time till Kawamori got its adapt. Too hyped!

This manga is the most wholesome thing on earth, honestly gives me a lot of diabetes and hopefully it's getting more attention! Really recommend to give this manga a read if you're into a slice to life and drama-free, it involves pretty quick chapters imo so I'm curious on how they will adapt the chapters into an episode. Also the VAs are a great choice and I really am looking forward to some more additional cast to voice some of my favorite characters and maybe a PV for this ;). Furthermore, really looking forward to this and hoping that Doga Kobo can do this justice because if they do, then this adaptation could be possibly the best romcom in 2022 or perhaps the best adaptation that Doga Kobo has ever did! whilst Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi and Plastic Memories becoming the 2nd and 3rd runner ups 4 me :3

I literally just started reading this a few days ago and caught up today. Why do I feel like this happens with a lot of the manga I read? Either way, it's a win for me!

I was expecting Hayami-chan too, but IMO Saori Oonishi is a good choice.

I'm sad, had lost my interest in the manga around 40 chapters and my only motivation was Hayami Saori voicing Shikimori, now that she's not here I'm totally not watching this. No offence to Saori Oonishi, but that's just what it is for me now

Pretty sad that Hayami Saori won't be voicing Shikimori, she fits her character so well.

But who will voice notBakugo?

damn, they shoulda went with the drama CD VA's (Hayami Saori and Yamashita Daiki) think they would've fit the roles better for the characters lol

oh well, at least MC seems to be voiced by a newcomer so it's nice to see
