Aharen-san wa hakarenai

Spring Season 2022 is a social season filled with a host of romcom. Although not as popular as Kaguya and Komi, Aharen is for sure funny in its own unique way.

I still remembered how much I laughed watching the first episode. The situations where Raidou tried to comprehend Aharen was exaggerated in such dorky ways that got me cracked up. There was so much fun with such weird humor.

The subsequent episodes were more of less the same, but I still enjoyed them because I realized that I loved the bizarre humor of this show. It did get a bit old though. I don't think a newbie to romcom would laugh that much watching Aharen. So it depends on how much you can tolerate humor.

The romance aspect was unexpectedly good. It wasn't focused on as much until near the very end. Similar to the humor, the romance is not usual like other anime. It was both subtle and direct. This is mostly because of the odd dynamic between the two main characters. My critic here is that I would like one or 2 more episodes to build the romance further. It's adorable nonetheless tho.

The side characters is another dorky aspect of the show. Each has their own quirks. Although not all of them cracked me up, I was still amused at how weird they are.

Overall, the show is just as incomprehensible as Aharen, but I loved it. 8-8.5/10.

This anime series is centred on two high school students; a boy named Raidou and a girl named Reina Aharen. They are seated next to each other and he tries to start a conversation with her but gets no reply... it turns out she is just very quiet, both figuratively and literally. He determines to become her friend.

I thought this series was a lot of fun. Our two protagonists contrast nicely; he has a face that makes him look perpetually angry and she has no idea about personal boundaries... something that puts others off befriending them. Over the course of the series their friendship develops nicely in an innocent way. There are some good side characters, most noticeably Aharen's childhood friend Oshiro. Overall a really charming series that fans of the genre should enjoy.

Wait ! Hold up ! What was that ending? It skyrocketed into moon ! Lol ! Apart from the shocking ending, it was pretty alright! Same as season 1 ! The romance was mild because the format of this plot is very much slice of life and gag comedy ! Which were dialed up to the max ! Atleast that's what i felt during my watch ! It was pretty chilling and forgettable plot for me ! Not bad and not good ! Just average ! The animation and art is okay for such a show ! Nothing too impressive and not that bad ! Just average like the story and the logic is optional ! I watched it in 2x speed and still i got the story so that's how basic it is.

THE FEMALE PROTAGONISH IS SO ADORABLE I CAN'T GET MY EYES FROM HER AND I ALSO TOTAL RELATE TO THE MALE CHARACTER CAUSE SOMETIMES WE CANNOT KNOW WHATS OTHER ARE THINKING HE BEHAVES LIKE A TYPICAL BUT REAL AT SAME TIME I KINDA ENJOYED THIS ANIME STORY IS SLOW PACED BUT FULL OF COMEDY AND SOME SCENE ARE FULL OF WHOLESOMENESS. IT'S NOT OVER THE TOP BUT A FUN ONE TO WATCH I HOPE YOU ALSO LIKE THIS ANIME.
