Danjo no Yuujou wa Seiritsu suru? (Iya, Shinai!!)

A boy and a girl pledge lifelong friendship in a small town junior high school. The relationship between the two, who are destined to share a common dream, has passed two years without any particular development.

Himari Inuzuka, a bubbly girl who has yet to find her first love, and Yuu Natsume, a plant-loving boy who enjoys flowers, still spend their days peacefully as best friends in the gardening club in the second year of high school.

"If Yuu can't get married, I have to take responsibility."
"I'm having trouble now because after Himari said that, your brother began calling me 'My brother-in-law!'"

However, when Yuu reunites with his first crush, the gears of their relationship suddenly go out of sync! Will Himari be able to escape her "ideal friend" now that she has found love?

Himari (blue hair girl) hard carry this show, and there's nothing else to it.

I will keep this review short and informative. Himari is the only hard carrying in this show to kept it out of a mid rom-com anime. She's one of the better female MC in a rom-com character in a long while (since Megumi from Saekano how to raise a boring girlfriend). The dept to her character is very interesting, and the studio directing, writing, animations, and voice acting portray her perfectly. Everyone else in this show so far is very generic rom-com character that you would found in any other rom-com anime.

Her ... character have ups and downs. Imperfections we can see and really "show not tell" well by the directing and its moments. Her dere-dere personality, while also being a bit tsundere, and show her weakness, confusion, and anger, is a breath of fresh air in this genre for a while.

The gimmick, while is not new, is pretty much the first time to be the main point of the show, and that can be interesting. The show also keep the relationship developments very hard to guess, and always twist and turns unlike normal rom-com (in term of predictability), so that's an up for many people.

In term of other aspect, it's ok for a rom-com.
Directing is pretty ok in general.
Pacing is on the faster side but not that fast, which works well with the comedy style.
Animation is pretty ok and on the better side and works well with the directing.
Writing is ok albeit sometime questionable with it jokes, requiring some niche knowledge for the 5th wall breaking the MCs is making, but overall fine.
Sound directing and OST is fine and work wells.

Overall, just like I said, you either gonna love this show or hate it depending on how much you like or dislike Himari, and how tolerable you are to some of the other character actions and writing.

No, that’s the answer for the title.

Anyway, MyAnimeList lists this anime as a romcom, so I’m going to treat it as such. Most romcoms tend to follow a consistent tone—some lean toward heartfelt comedic romance with a sprinkle of seriousness, while others focus on heavier, more emotional romance with bits of humor to lighten the mood. This anime… feels like it tries to do both. The tone shifts can be jarring, almost like a jumpscare, but even then, the transitions feel half-baked. Just when you think it's about to get serious, it doesn't go all the way. And when it tries to be funny, it ... doesn’t fully commit either.

The romance here isn’t the type that makes your toes curl, fills your stomach with butterflies, or makes you bury your face in a pillow screaming, “I wish I were them.”while punching the wall. It’s there, sure, but it lacks the emotional punch,so it’s not exactly the feel-good type of romance. Just…romance.

As for the comedy, it doesn’t always land. Humor is subjective, of course, and it’s probably partially my fault since I’m not really the target demographic for this kind of anime. That said, I’m sure there are viewers who find it genuinely funny.

Now, let’s talk about the characters.

First, the MC. He’s your typical romcom protagonist—too timid to take initiative, constantly doubting himself, and every time he manages to build a sliver of confidence, the heroine crushes it instantly. Like many romcom leads, Yuu has a hobby. This time it’s making flower accessories. Not the most captivating trait, but at least it serves a purpose in the story. Other than that, there’s not much worth noting, except that I genuinely felt bad watching him get toyed with by the heroine.

Next is Rion, the safer choice—the second heroine. She’s more reserved, softer in demeanor, the type who blushes more than she speaks. You can kind of tell she was a later addition to the story. She’s sweet and cute, but not particularly memorable.

Then there’s Himari. Now... I’ve always felt that when a character doesn’t speak "normally," it can leave a weird impression on viewers—and Himari sadly falls into that trap. Around 98% of her dialogue revolves around teasing or goofing around. Every time she appears on screen, she tries to be the comedic relief. “Oh ho ho, MC-kun, you like her, don’t you?” “Oh my, look at her clothes, so scandalous—definitely sparking some pervy thoughts, huh?” It’s constant. Sometimes it feels like she’s trying way too hard, but maybe that’s intentional.

She also frequently tosses around sexual innuendos, and whenever the MC takes the bait or responds even slightly, she immediately shuts it down—then gets upset when he doesn’t push forward. You get the idea. She can be entertaining, sure, but also exhausting. Cute, but annoying. And yeah, she's rich... just because.

Nothing else really stands out.

The music is average—standard fare for a romance anime. The animation is serviceable, nothing exceptional. The story is your typical love triangle, though I will give it some credit: it keeps you guessing about which heroine will "win" in the end.

There’s not much in terms of fanservice, unless you count the occasional cleavage or the classic “guy pinning a girl down” scene. The anime does toss around adult terms like “sex” and “big tits” a few times, but there’s nothing overtly sexual.

Overall, this isn't the best romcom out there, but it’s not the worst either. If you’ve got time to spare, you could watch it—but honestly, you could probably find something more compelling.
