    Good Anime

    It was overall a good anime, I liked it. The coincidences, The love and confusions I get it and I overall liked it but.. the ending was really frustrating and I couldn't accept it also there was such a good opportunity to bring a season 2 of it from there but no they decided to mess it up intentionally ahh man it was such a nice anime and they could bring a happy ending to it in the second season . Don't know if it's even possible to bring a 2nd now and cant imagine how will it continue plus it will be bit awkward considering how the 1st season ended . But I still look forward to a 2nd season hoping they can give this a proper appropriate happy ending. But the thing that really pissed me off is how could the protagonist could do this at the end I thought at the end he was really in love with her but anyway... feeling frustrated and kinda sad .

    Edit : Finished reading the manga happy ending my F...

    Love, Drama, and Mixed Emotions

    Domestic Girlfriend is an anime that offers a whirlwind of emotions, a rollercoaster of love triangles, and a blend of drama that will keep you captivated. While it has its fair share of strengths and weaknesses, it manages to offer a unique and compelling story that will leave you pondering its complexities.

    On the positive side, Domestic Girlfriend excels in delivering intense and emotionally charged moments. The narrative explores the intricate relationships between the characters, diving deep into their struggles, desires, and insecurities. The complex love triangles and forbidden relationships add layers of tension, making each episode a gripping experience. The anime isn't afraid to tackle mature themes such as love, sexuality, and self-discovery, which sets it apart from more conventional romance series.

    Another strong aspect of Domestic Girlfriend is its character development. The main protagonists, Natsuo, Rui, and Hina, undergo significant growth throughout the series. Their journeys are filled with obstacles and heartbreak, and witnessing their personal transformations is both captivating and relatable. The supporting cast also adds depth to the story, each bringing their own unique dynamics and perspectives.

    However, Domestic Girlfriend does have its shortcomings. One notable flaw is the pacing of the story. At times, it feels rushed, particularly when important events or character developments occur in quick succession. This can make it difficult to fully digest the emotional impact of certain scenes or grasp the nuances of the relationships. Additionally, the anime occasionally relies on melodramatic moments that may feel forced or overly exaggerated, taking away from the authenticity of the story.

    Furthermore, while the series explores mature themes, it occasionally struggles to handle them with the necessary depth and sensitivity. Certain plotlines and character arcs could have been explored more thoroughly, providing a better understanding of the characters' motivations and inner conflicts. Some viewers may find this lack of depth to be a missed opportunity, preventing them from fully connecting with the characters and their choices.

    In conclusion, Domestic Girlfriend offers a compelling and emotionally charged story that delves into the complexities of love, relationships, and personal growth. It succeeds in delivering intense moments and character development, but falls short in terms of pacing and handling certain themes. If you enjoy dramatic romance series with flawed but relatable characters, Domestic Girlfriend is worth a watch. However, if you prefer a more measured and nuanced exploration of complex relationships, you may find it lacking.

    Domestic na Kanojo - Adult, Romantic and Relative

    A cliché start, a student in love with the beautiful teacher, a friend tries to push a weirdo out of his predicament, but it is at this moment that this anime begins to find its highlight, deep issues experienced in adolescence mixed with fiery actions. Throughout the episodes new situations that makes us wonder what we would do, without much response, in moments we twist to some side to side, between waves and comings the anime presents a beautiful script with real and unusual situations.

    Addicted From the Start

    I admit, I'm not one usually for any sexual content, but this one went somewhere I didn't expect. I orginally saw this as an advertisement for another video streaming provider on Facebook. Watching the trailer peaked my interest. So, I quickly Googled the Anime, and found it on Crunchyroll. And I began watching it. And I have personally enjoyed it with all the love and joy in my heart. I hope a 2nd season will come soon, because while I don't agree with the ending, it definitely had a lot of impact on me. 10/10. You guys / girls have earned it. Thank you for another amazing and heart touching Anime.
