First off! No one is going to question that a crime was committed at the end there!?

Anyways, I wasn’t expecting much going in but the MC and FMCs relationship to eachother and how they established it really early on; blew me away and had set the bar really high for the rest of the movie.

Which is why imo, it was unfortunate that they went for that ending. Instead of grabbing the bull by the horn, they let it slip through their fingers. It would’ve been so easy to charge towards the problem but we didn’t get that. Unfortunate, especially with Stubborn being one ... of their middle name. It’s not but you get the idea.

To work together until the very end as allies would. They practically introduced and built on it. Then they trampled all over that idea.

I had such high expectations right up until the grand act of patronizing. Then it was all “disappointed guy” meme from there. Then comes the big ol’ realization, the backtracking, the tripping, the regret, the eyeroll, etc…smh. They essentially took all of that great story telling, great potential up to that point and threw it out the window.

At the very least, it wasn’t too late. Idk what the law would say about that ending but I’m glad…

Ultimately, I’m just glad there was a nice little bowtie at the end despite the obvious consequences of stupid decision making.

Even with the less than desirable ending, the movie is still a good watch as everything else will guarantee you a fun time. The visuals. The music. The VA, especially FMC. The relationships. It’s actually a super cute story that I can get behind, save for that ending but it is what it is.

Enjoy!

Minor spoilers ahead…

If you’ve watched Toradora or Nisekoi then the idea is pretty similar.

Though wholesome, comedic and fan-service’y at times, the anime isn’t anything special. I went into it blind with not much expectations and I got exactly that. Typical boys meet girl moment, hate each others guts, finds out that they’re partners in crime and they each have their own person of interest = you know where this is going.

Not much to expect otherwise, though I do appreciate how much of a go getter the main girl is, along with the synergy between fMC and MC and how surprisingly assertive the rival is. ... The missed opportunity is the drama that could’ve unfolded and been explored should opportunities not be taken for granted and a certain girl becomes much more aggressive. But no…

It’s practically a cliche love dispute full of stalemates and not a whole lot happening. It’s pretty disappointing tbh. If only she realized too late and gets desperate or figured it out herself right off the bat, then things would’ve really heated up. Instead we get the daily lives of a bunch of young and dumb teens being picky and indecisive about everything. It’s even more dejecting when one of them does a full 180 after things don’t work out and despite all the prior flags; even worse, the ball finally gets rolling…only for the anime to end immediately after. Like, bruh.

In the end, the biggest and best thing about this anime isn’t the female MC nor the rival nor the MC himself nor the plot.
It’s the MC’s CHAD FRIEND.
Think Motoyama-kun from Tsurezure Children. That one “forever single” friend who gives out CHAD love advices and has your back no matter how much they want to kill you for being the dense MC that you are. Yes, them. We all need someone like that in our lives and thank god this anime has a version of them cause the stalemate is as cheesy, cliche and disappointing as it can get.

It’s otherwise a fun watch but don’t expect too much here. If you want more then go read the manga or keep looking. I’ve had my share of cheesy stalemates, love triangles, etc so I don’t think I’ll be keeping up with the manga or future adaptations.

Regardless, hope you enjoy if you decide to give the anime a watch.
