Preliminary (6/24 eps)
Written after seeing 6 episodes.

Beautiful animation for a rom-com, great music and VAs. Adorable family moments. Has Nisekoi vibes.

Now what sets it apart from other rom-coms, THE MC ISN'T A COWARD. He is loud and annoying at times but he is very forth coming and wears his heart on his sleeve and actually confesses his feelings at appropriate times. No more of that tired trope that is used to extend series like Love is War and Nisekoi. If either of those story's MCs were half the man Nagi is, they would both be so much better. It not relying on the worn out crutch of the "will they wont they" but allows for enjoyable progression with a lot of comical and original situations.

It deals with parental expectations, both positive and negative, with things like arranging an engagement or being completely accepting and welcoming of a child who you just recently learned about.

One of the most interesting things in the story isn't just how they interact with each but also with their long lost families. Saichi especially makes for an adorable younger sister to both of them, and is easily one of my favorite younger sisters in anime.

It is amusing hearing Touyama Nao voice Segawa Hiro given her infamous track record of short-haired girls in romance anime. No matter how stacked the cards are against her character you can't help but hold out a little hope that she will be the end-game girl.

In short an amusing and beautiful rom-com which has quickly become one of my favorites.
