Yet another anime which I can't watch without pausing every 15 seconds and criticizing.
Story & Characters - 3
The problem I have is with the plot setup itself.
Yoshida does stuff like *not fricking a child* and this might make him look responsible, but ffs he would have just called the cops and informed them about sayu if he was actually a responsible adult. That's why I don't like the setup, because the setup itself is just too unrealistic.
This is a shonen anime about romance between a highschool girl and an adult man...
Yes, there are other shonen animes that have pulled off some similar plot lines, but
...
this one definitely hasn't! A highschool girl and adult man romance does not often resonate with a teenage boy and any attempts to make it more relatable for a teenage boy just makes the story even more unrealistic.
I feel like having a relatable view point character (I know that's pretty hard to put in to this setup(that's why this setup shouldn't have been used to begin with)) would have made it better or just making the anime literally more ecchi (pls don't kill me for suggesting this, it's just an idea(tbh even that would have been better)) would have made it lot more entertaining for a teenage boy than it is now.
Comparatively speaking, this has failed as a shonen anime.
tl;dr- too unrealistic doesn't really fit the shonen niche in a nice way.
Art & Sound - 5
It was nothing noticably good, just the mediocre sound and art you would expect from a romance anime. Mediocre. Nothing more to say about it.
Enjoyment - 2
It is pretty dreadful to watch, I end up pausing it every few minutes to criticize the unrealistic aspects of the story and I end up complaining for longer than watching the anime (yes I talk to myself for over 20 minutes) I usually don't write reviews, but this was so bad and the rating seemed so unfair(I know it will probably just go down later), I was forced to write this review.
Overall - 3
I would rather watch some mainline isekai shiz rather than watching this. The only reason I am still watching this anime is because I don't want another anime in my dropped list.
This is a review I wrote before I watched the whole anime, but I don't think it will change much, since it's the set up itself that has the problem.
