First of all, when consuming a romance based piece of media one of the most important things for me are the characters. Especially when the content is based in our real life world/society. The characters are the elements that make your story intresting and worth the watch/read. I found this anime lacked a lot in this aspect. The characters felt flat and simply followed the archetype of gentle giant and pure sweet girl. Perhaps if I had watched more of the anime I would have come to enjoy the characters if their personality and motivations were more explored, but if I don't like something I simply stop consumong said piece of media.
Second of all, I disliked the voice acting in both dub and sub, I can't really explain it but I just couldn't really stand it.
Lastly, even in romance anime/manga there should be a plot and things shouldn't just happen for no reason at all or just so the plot can move on. For example, the fire in the building only happened for the sole purpose of proving the female lead her friends wrong and showing how gentle and good hearted the male lead is. You see instead of using the conflict to provide a meaningful arc about how assumptions about people are mostly wrong and can be harmful, they just resolved the conflict so easily. Yes her friends were proven wrong, but the male lead is seen as an exeption and the friends are just called out. Nothing meaningful happened!
I get why so many people enjoy the anime, but it's just not for me!
