It starts off with a premise similar to Haganai, but is completely different. To start off, it's not harem. Also it's way more serious. Primary reason why this is awesome is clever character dialogue, and a touch of philosophy. Story-wise it's quite ordinary high school stuff, but it's characters and their personalities being clever that make this stand out, and that make it really enjoyable. Relatable protagonist and plot also help, but that's assuming you weren't the popular kid in class. OP/ED are great. There's definitely hints of romance being thrown around. Though with ''romantic'' being part of the title, one could expect a bit more romance overall, or if not that, then at least that show would be more oriented towards resolving those tensions in more fulfilling way. However, this was based on an ongoing LN so it's understandable.
