There is so much wrong with this anime that I'm not even sure where to start. Looking at the quality of the anime itself, there isn't much to like: the art is average, the animation is often choppy, and the sound quality is poor.

The technical issues are far from the worst aspect of this anime, though. Plenty of people have already pointed out the flaws in the plot/characters, so I'll get straight to the point: a 27-year-old man pursuing a girl ten years his junior is creepy no matter how you slice it. It's frustrating how self-aware this anime is of its own disgusting premise whilst still trying to masquerade as a cute, lighthearted romcom.

Ryo is selfish, possessive, incredibly manipulative, and downright gross. Masuda, Rio, and Ichika's mother are hardly any better; each of them manipulate her into believing that its acceptable for her MANY protests against Ryo's pusuit of her to be ignored in favor of allowing Ryo's self-serving, disgusting behavior to continue unchecked. Meanwhile, the age-appropriate love interests of the two main characters are completely ignored despite being FAR better choices.

If age-gap romance is your thing, there's plenty of content out there that features two mature, consenting adults in a healthy relationship. Koikomo does not.

When Ichicka finally confesses in the last episode, she says that Ryo is "on the verge of comitting a crime" by pursuing a relationship with her. That alone should put off anyone considering watching this anime.
