This anime adds nothing new or innovative to the romantic/comedy genre.
Typical shoujo tropes and archetypical characters had me let's just say a little frustrated. The more dull rather than colorful ensemble of characters ranges from the meek/weak-willed main heroine, the cynical sensei, and the happy-go-lucky blond-haired bishounen. I will say that I did like the secondary characters more than the leads as they were actually really supportive to the main character's struggles.
And as frustrating as the characters were, the story, which started as your typical tale of young love, ended up being even more irritating. The story ended up to be a melodramatic, non
...
sequitur narrative caused by the unreasonable guilt and thinking of the main heroine. Without going into detail, the main character becomes extremely annoying and thinks so poorly of herself it made me lose all pity for her. Additionally the main guy has this strange mental breakdown that makes him question his future and made me question if this anime was under a different genre completely. I would've been happy if they cut out two episodes of the two characters contemplating and walking in circles around each other.
HOWEVER, I still admit that each cliche continuously fed my guilty pleasures and I watched the six episodes not completely offended. It was overall sweet and romantic which is what it promised and although I had a lot of problems with the characters and the story I will say that the emotion had me back on board by the end.
Watch this anime if you're bored (and you're really craving some romance), fully expecting the problems that will arise, and just taking it for what it is--a cliched, romantic comedy for teenage girls.
