I read many reviews before watching this. At first, I thought the girl would change eventually after few episodes but damn she's slow and annoying till the end. The show shoves down sweetness in such a frustrating manner that at one point I felt like I would get diabetes just by watching it.

I like more mature work like wotaku wherein communication between couples feel natural and not forced. The mc cries her eyes out all the damn time even if she's happy, sad, embarrassed or surprised. There isn't even one episode where she hasn't cried and I can't take It anymore. Female leads should have more attributes to them. They forcefully want to label it as cute and sweet but it actually feels even more dumb than wolf girl and black prince. Both leads could have confessed on 5th episode itself but even communication between characters is slow, this whole thing could have been completed in 15 episodes without leaving a damn thing.

To everyone telling the ending wasn't good: This isn't even an ending, it's just the mid part of the anime. This show needs a season 2 to answer many questions of audience.

Now to enjoy this show thoroughly, you must read manga so you will understand what ending is going to lead to(coz manga was halted halfway due to writer's health issues). Only some chapters feel missing in manga and many things seem to be sorted out. Go watch this anime, read manga and you will have experienced one of the most mature and realistic show.

The truth is I would have given it 3 stars if I hadn't read the end in manga.

This anime is more like a girl drooling over a hot guy who she fell in love with. The issue is more with the girl than with the guy. The guy knows he's a sadist and knows he's mean. This girl just takes up every insult, every demeaning stuff and it made me sick. She's so under-confident, self-centered, and a hopeless girl in the anime that I wondered why he even fell in love with her. The whole start still makes me cringe, she refuses a guy who promise to respect and treat her well and went with a guy who calls her a dog and makes her act like one. They are incompatible, childish, dishonest, and I wonder this is what teenagers think of when they think of "love"? This show is annoying and sickening in the start.

Now why I gave 6 stars? I gave it for the last 5-6 chapters of manga. The ending shows how couple works in a realistic way, what lies ahead for them and how many hardships are actually there to make a relationship work. I skipped many chapters to reach to the end fast. I would suggest you people to watch few episodes to know the flow then start reading from chapter 38 or so to avoid feeling disgusted. Anyhow, if you plan to just watch the anime, DON'T. It isn't sweet high school romance, it's just a hot guy insulting and toying with a girl. Rather watch Ao Haru Ride and then read its manga. I like the main character(girl) much more than this one. She atleast has a good amount of self respect and isn't annoying.
