This anime has a somewhat interesting premise. What if the main guy just stops talking to his crush because he noticed he'll never be in her league? And what if that girl actually had feelings for him, that she could not express?
This could be interesting. This could have been interesting.

1. The characters:
- Our main guy, Sajou, was a stalker. To the point that when he decides to stop stalking main girl, it becomes the talk of the whole school. People are like "wow he isn't stalking that girl what did something happen?". EVEN THE TEACHERS ARE COMMENTING ON IT. But we never really get to ... see it for ourselves, so we can't really compare between before and now, which could have been interesting.
- Our main girl, Aika, the victim of our MC. Well, "victim" would be the term if she was not actually into the fact of being constantly harrassed by our MC. She just pushes him away litteraly everyday, until he stops and she just wants him back because whatever. He litteraly harassed her during YEARS, how come she gains interest for him the second he stops? So classical annoying tsundere.
- Then a bunch of other characters you probably saw in a bunch of romance of this type, like the masculine female friend of our main girl, the shy girl, the social girl from the other class, the student council girl, you know the drill...

2. Story flow:
As I already explained, we start at the time Sajou stops harrassing Aika. Which means we don't get to see what a "normal" stalking day look like. Which is a shame, because it'd be interesting to see their exact relationship before and after he decides to stop.
And the moment he stops, there's like all the girls of the school that just pop out of nowhere to talk to him. Like the girl from the other class, who just awkwardly comes to him while he's eating alone, introduce herself then go away. But they never met each other and she just came to say her name and get his. Who does that? Then he hit the shy girl in a corridor corner *sigh* and almost make her drop the stack of paper she holds. How original. Anyway, every encounter seems either feel forced or cliché.

As for art and music, they're average, nothing to say about it.

To conclude:
If you like romance anime with a self-deprecating MC and a top-tier goddess of the high school, good news! That's at least 75% of the romance out there, so you should probably watch those first. If you don't like those kind of anime, how did you end up here in the first place?
