Suki tte Ii na yo.

Friends will only let you down—that is the sad truth Mei Tachibana lives with, ever since she was wrongfully blamed for the death of a class pet by her so-called friends in grade school. Since then, she has stayed away from people in order to avoid ever being hurt again. However, Mei's life begins to change drastically when a misunderstanding in high school causes her to encounter popular student Yamato Kurosawa.

Yamato finds her intriguing and insists on being her friend, even though Mei wants nothing to do with him. But when a dangerous situation ends with Yamato kissing Mei to save her from the unwanted attention of a stalker, Mei begins to develop feelings for him. On the heels of her discovery that their feelings are mutual, they start dating and she gains not only a boyfriend, but friends as well. Mei, however, finds it very hard to adapt to this new lifestyle, especially in expressing her true feelings towards Yamato.

Throughout misunderstandings of their new relationship, each other, and the attentions of other girls, Mei and Yamato slowly grow closer and learn the true meaning of those three little words: "I love you."

This show reminds me so much of the manga "kare" first love. Basically about a girl with a bad past finding through love, with some challengers along the way.

Story was just has expected from this genre. Cute, adorable, lovely, little drama/action to not make it too dull. I will give anime a big pluss for telling us everyone backstory, that is something i really like. It gives each character a meaning instead of just placing random people in the anime.

I must agree with alot of people people that ep 13, was kinda waste of time. it should have ended at ep 12 to make ... a nice round up. Tho i must admit that i wish the last ep could have been an update or what would happen later in their life.
That's what my mind couldn't wrap around is; what would happen once they ended school ? will they still be together and make a family or will they break up in the future ? If the last update could have been an "5 years later" ep it would be, at least for me, a more satisfying ending.

The drawing style was nice, i really liked it. Pluss the small computer animated elements randomly inside the anime. The into and outtro was super cute, so i recommend watching those too. I love (the cat) marshmallow <3

Mixed Feelings

I don’t know how to feel about this anime one band I really enjoy the whole “struggle love” concept where it’s not all sunshine and rainbows and they explore real life relationship issues like insecurities boundaries and distrust but at the same time the methods in stuck this is portrayed sometimes are excessive; Mei is presented initially as a strong female lead but can’t handle a bit of dialogue with Damn near any character as well as an inability to express simple emotive language without sounding robotic. Yamato has such potential being the “star boy” of the show but also acts very robotically and through ... all his conversations with may even his confessions of love feel plastic and far too orchestrated. The art style is fine soundtrack is subpar and the story itself is okay nothing more nothing less just okay.

Not Recommended

so how can I say, hmm what is this shit???
a rating fraud knowing that masterpieces like nagatoro san or rascal no bunny girl exist.
A gigantic fraud that it is so well noted when the beginning is a force and absolutely nothing happens in the entire anime. I'm not even talking about the ending which is the worst romance ending ever. I would have put + if the average was not so high but 7.4 open your eyes and note it at its true value, that is to say zero out of 10, 5 at most.

The synopsis seemed interesting but the AD, the dynamism, the atmosphere ... and the evolution of the characters is a review because it is very boring.
