The biggest issue with this show is its lack of a clear focus, making it hard to pinpoint what genre it aims for: romantic comedy, drama, or slice of life. It feels like a mix of *Bunny Girl Senpai*, *Kaguya-sama*, and harem ecchi elements, but without successfully capturing the appeal of any. While the last episode had a strong finish that slightly boosted my rating, the journey felt sluggish. The continuous, linear storytelling creates a semi-realistic vibe but ultimately dilutes the impact of each theme, leading to underdeveloped scenes and character arcs.

Alya’s character is reduced to a typical "tsundere" with a Russian-speaking quirk, and the secondary characters feel ambiguous in importance. It’s unclear whether they’re meaningful to the plot or just filler, as only the main couple, Masachika and Alya, get any real depth. Additionally, the show has a "semi-pretentious" tendency, making trivial problems seem overly serious. The student council drama lacks depth, and attempts at strategic plotting feel forced, more like excuses to introduce plot armor for the main characters. Although the 12 endings mostly showcase Alya’s beautiful appearance, they don’t necessarily improve the narrative or storyline quality. Ultimately, the show could have been stronger if it had focused on one narrative style or balanced its tonal shifts better.
