Bokura wa Minna Kawai-sou

Kazunari Usa is a high school freshman who will start living alone due to his parents now working in a different area. Excited for his new independent life, he hopes to go about his teenage days without the worry of dealing with any strange people, but as he soon discovers, his new boarding house Kawai Complex is far from ordinary.

The various tenants at Kawai Complex are all quite eccentric characters. Shirosaki, Kazunari's roommate, is a pervert and masochist; Mayumi Nishikino, a borderline alcoholic office lady, hates couples because of her unfortunate luck with men; and Sayaka Watanabe, a seemingly innocent college student, enjoys leading men on. Shocked with the lack of decent individuals at his new residence, Kazunari is about to leave when he runs into shy senior student Ritsu Kawai and finds himself slowly falling in love with her.

because the Anime is just 1/4 the whole story
one thing that dissapointing in this anime Is just that the anime was not fully completed

Mixed Feelings

This show was moderately enjoyable, but also significantly frustrating. It's supposed to be a light-hearted romantic comedy, but it's really inconsistent when it comes to establishing atmosphere (often ruining it in order to make an unsatisfying joke). It's also way over the top when it comes to stuff like blushing or close-ups.

My biggest problem with this show is the cast of characters. Most of the show takes place in the dorm where the main character lives alongside a few more people. Most of these people are badly designed/executed. The protagonist himself is nothing special, but perfectly alright. Some of his character traits made him occasionally ... painful to watch, but he generally gave off the feeling of being an actual human being, which I liked. Same goes for the main female character. As for the rest, I was left with an intense feeling of frustration. The other residents of the dorm include: a guy with 0 character depth whatsoever and a role of being a walking joke (usually a bad one), two evil bitches that are contenders for worst human beings in history and genuinely enjoy destroying the happiness of others (yet for some reason everyone puts up with them), and a granny that's not bad, just uninteresting. There are also several minor characters, who for the most part are decent.

The story is nothing special, but that's really not a problem. The plot is carried along decently, there's no problems such as incoherence or nonsense. The humor is somewhat disappointing, though, which a big reason this series doesn't hold up to my expections of a light-hearted rom-com.

The voice acting is generally great. The music is fine, nothing special. The art is somewhat weird. Things generally look fine to good, but as mentioned earlier, there's a lot of over the top blushing, (failed) emotional close-ups, etc, during which the art seems a bit out of place.

Although this anime left me personally frustrated, I believe most people would enjoy it. I think a lot of it depends on how much you are willing to put up with the evil bitch characters (if you actually like them, I suggest a visit to a psychologist). Other than that, you should be fine. I suggest watching a few episodes in order to see if you appreciate the character interactions and the humor, then decide if you want to finish it.

Not Recommended

First and foremost, whoever said this anime is like suzuka is dead wrong.

Theres no confession, no kiss, no hug, no plot, no drama, it doesnt take itself seriously so its pretty hard to take it seriously. All the main character gets is her phone number after 12 episodes.

The one saving grace of this show is the art style is pretty nice. Both main characters have very bland personalities, in fact the most entertainment youll get from this show is the side characters.

Not to mention theres a lot of joking about pedos for some strange reason. Seriously this show shouldnt be considered a romance. Its ... literall two teenagers giving each other googly eyes with no development.

I give this anime a Hard 4/10 for being for setting up a strong first few episodes only to be ultimately let down!
