    Pathetic

    How come people are actually watching it. Its pathetic unlikable characters and an mc with no personality. I mean seriously i couldn't watch past 2 This thing has no story . The blond girl is so toxic and manipulative. His little sister is so selfish i hated how everything is about her. And the mc ? He's just plain with no personality of his own. How come people actually watch it. Id say it again PATHETIC.

    Interesting to say the least...

    I really love this anime I binged watched it almost fully and I'm expecting that there's more episodes coming out but I feel like the plot of the anime gets lost and they lose the plot of the different love interests? I still highly recommend it but I'm definitely disappointed in it. Ishihara for the win tho.

    Different

    The plot in hindsight looks like all other romance anime but, they way they go about finding true love is different. The mc is a really innocent and kind boy but is constantly put into situations where his morals are tested and being nice is not always the answer, although he is bland at first you see his character progress later in the story. The love interests are actually different from other anime, personality wise and how they treat the mc. They all love, respect, and shockingly understand the mc which is not usual for a romance anime. I recommend watching it.

    Interesting

    I like the fact that it has a plot that is below what generic romance dramas usually give; it is not so superficial, although it has its moments of comedy, there is something underneath that makes you feel as if something bad is going to happen at any moment Although the protagonist is very simple at times, it is clear that they are trying to give him a protective personality.

    Underwhelming

    Once again, we are presented with an anime in which the "romance" is a mess. Who likes whom, who ends up with whom, etc. The same old trope from anime writers. Unneeded drama, conflict, unlikable characters, with an overall boring story that just doesn't bring anything new to the slice of life and romance genres. These types of anime have been done over and over, and mostly better (see Toradora). Gave up on this halfway through the 26 episodes.
