    Surprisingly great!

    Highly recommend watching. It was fun and engaging and honestly couldn't ask for more! The main character is really entertaining and it flows well with the rest of the show. Also the animation style is perfect and adds to a comedy in an unexpected way. Although a lot of the characters are clique due to the characters premise they all were endearing in their own way in the end. The show also managed to always keep me on my toes switching up and adding in new comedic moments I didn't see coming. I honestly really hope that there is a season two because in anime we rarely see this type of show so I hope this sets a new trend.

    Hilarious at it's best, emotionally messy at it's worst

    This was sort of a mixed experience for me. I did find many scenes funny but the show is a bit unsure about the emotions it's aiming for and the conclusion doesn't feel earned given how serious they made certain matters.

    First of all I really liked the main character. Her character designs during comedic sequences were hilarious and Takahashi Rie did a great job voicing her. I think friendships between all characters are nice too. The plot of the show is that a wizard comes to this introverted girl and says that she's selected as a test subject to help her in her romance developments. Naturally, this girl retaliates and that too in a hilarious manner. So this show is at its best when it's a romance parody.

    Obviously, with a plot about affecting romance in your life using magic, you don't expect it to get emotionally serious since it won't fit at all. But, from time to time it gets serious and that doesn't work since obviously the romance feels forced. And I'm not a fan of love-triangle drama either. And then the final 4 episodes completely changed the tone into some very serious matters, which felt sudden. And though it's good that they explored a few backstories, if you've seen enough animes you have probably seen the same backstories done before. And after they establish these very serious problems, the way they end them doesn't feel very convincing.

    Must watch romantic comedy

    It's been so long since I've watched a rom-com this amazing. I binge watched the whole season in half a day. It has a great opening song and all the characters are just awesome. The heroine is not your typical shoujo girl, and the male leads are all unique with different personalities. I've usually seen such stories mostly in comics, so I was really looking forward to this since I watched the trailer and it didn't disappoint me at all. It has a lot of funny scenes, especially between the heroine and the game Wizard. It's ultimately a fun watch, and I really hope there's a 2nd season, there's so much more to the story. DON'T THINK TWICE, JUST WATCH IT, IT'S WORTH IT.

    Amazing anime !

    I'm in love !, the best shoujo anime. Animation is awesome too! I can't wait for season 2. I might start reading the manga I'm hooked on this story! The characters and friendships are very cute. This is a typical romance in shoujo anime but it's nice seeing them building their own personality/characteristics, Highschool kids can pretty much relate to this. I kinda I miss being in high school. I don't know what to say anymore but it's a must watch you guys if you're into anime. I have to finish typing because it has to be 600 characters what the heck !!!! Hahahahaha. Must watch now y'all it's super good the dub and sub is pretty good and accurate and so funny. Lmao aight this is it. Bye.
