Review (comments/longer ver):
#Story
Honestly, somewhat unique take to romcoms from usual format. It's essentially romcom but the main twist is that rather the usual school life main guy being the all liked, kind, helping character surrounded by various stereotype girls who fall in love with main guy and surrounded drama and blossoming romance of that. Instead we get the only somewhat "Normal/normie" guy in the cast who is the main character, who still has the usual romcom MC traits, but instead the twist comes with the gathering love interests. All the girls in the story have some sort of perverted twist to them, in this case all of them have some sort of fetish or another. Which honestly, I found to be a really great twist. Because in the end, everyone has some sort of kink in them, as long sexual interest exists in our brain chemistry, so does the deviancy exist. ANYHOW.
The premise is great, presentation is for the most part quite enjoyable. It's still tame, straight-laced easy to digest romcom. You get daily occurrences with rather simple to follow story, with few twists there and then with spice of drama, romance and such. And for me I enjoyed the comedy aspect, loved the main character struggles being the normie in the group, was lots of fun.
Probably main issue with storytelling itself, well the usual with one season romcoms sadly. I weren't particularly fan of how romance element got wrapped up, it's the usual "read the LN, VN or Manga to know if anyone actually progresses into romantic relationship etc...". Thankfully some things got wrapped up, but with romance genre main joy is always seeing couple form and seeing their cute and loving relationship daily occurrences etc...
#Character
Well, partially I mentioned the character element in the "story" paragraph. But as I mentioned I loved the idea in ecchi romcom that all the characters had some sort of fetish, without the show being actual hentai. In romance it can be blossoming, funny and cute, silly which it was. And since with romance genre you know they choose one character they are loyal & loving to.
Won't go into characters too much to avoid spoilers. But in a nutshell we got various stereotypes of spectrum consisting of older sister types, cute small loud ones, tomboys, cute small quiet ones, cute sister, the get along best friend and all of them with their own twist. So a bit of everything.
And main fun of such cast is having the "normal/normie main character" who has to juggle inbetween of all those other characters whose "fetishes" he ends up discovering. And man.... him reacting and dealing with those characters was so much entertainment.
Other than that, there are few moments of character "self-realizations" that mainly affect their cute factor, not sure how much their actual character growth. Only few actual character "plot points" that affect character acting or direction of story/growth. (well... I think in this short romcom probably only one plot point that actually will affect the story)
#Art & Sound
Colorful and simple animation style, yet very pretty and pleasant. There isn't much else to add. I liked it. And as for music/OST, I noticed it for the most part and was pleasant enough which means It was okay. Wasn't particularly amazing nor bad.
#Enjoyment & Overall
Anyhow.... I personally enjoyed this romcom a lot. If there would been more romance to it and a bit better conclusion and progress into relationships I would have rated it even higher. But overall I found it funny, straightforward and it's twist made it a bit more interesting to watch.
But yes, don't expect too much depth or complexity out of this Anime. It's meant to be simple, straightforward romcom with ecchi element to it. If that's not your thing, you will not enjoy it.
#Total Score 8/10
