This is not an episodic romcom. Watch till episode 6 you gonna get sucked in. Don't Give Up is a quality anime that is on par with The Apothecary diaries at the time of airing. It is shounen style but for female audience, yes man can enjoy as well. Of course the whole story revolves around romance, Yasen the male lead is an alien superhero, but has to earn the love. Menke the female protagonist, I've never seen a female power on the same level as top male in any Japanese shounen. This anime shows u when DEI done right, promotes feminist, black character, and
...
remember episode 6 yasen says the world is INCLUSIVE. China out-do America in this stuff!

Character design are enjoyable. 😉 Menke carries the show just like maomao, except she has bigger boobs. The show presents romantic scenes extremely well 10/10, menke wears special school uniform or elegant dress in those scenes, sometimes even erotic. I wish they could have put more budget in the fight scenes, but this is shoujo.

Omg, the insert song. Wheel of fortune
Plot - 10
I like how they won't deliberately drag on relationship development. It has emotional ups and downs that flows naturally , when it reaches that point things will happen. The anime has an overarching theme, superpower vs technology, it is silly most of the time but can also get quite deep.
I can't believe Crunchyroll is not buying this anime, translation gets unbearable when it's text heavy.
