Kind of weird setting, sometimes it makes sense and sometimes it doesn't, but it's still very fun to watch.

It was cute I guess but kind of a disappointing after the 1st episode. Honestly would prefer this just being manga drawing anime with romance, no galaxy magic and princess stuff. Might be just me tho

Man Ichirou needs to learn when to take a break whenever he is feeling sick, its not good for his health. I'm glad that Shiori is helping out Ichirou as much as she can, she even is going to rent an apartment there. 

Its nice that Shiori went out shopping with Ichirou as well, she tries to blend into the people that live there. I did not expect Ichirou getting a punishment if they're far apart or if he touches Shiori without her knowing it, even though he just wanted her away from those guys. Ichirou did get happy that he can do an color page again after a year, so that's nice. 

Wholesome episode.

I'm a bit confused about the rules regarding their engagement and how it affects him, but I'm still really enjoying this.

Yeah, this is a definite drop for me. I can't enjoy or even tolerate a romance where the relationship is so fundamentally imbalanced like this, where MC-kun can't make alien girl sad or angry without getting hurt and can't leave her side without getting ill or worse. It's just a fundamentally flawed foundation on which to build a relationship, as it essentially means MC-kun is being coerced into it and that he'll probably end up acting more romantic/otherwise fall in line with alien girl's desires not out of affection but out of fear of the consequences.

A major disappointment considering this came from the Sweetness and Lightning author.

Cute and wholesome show. Main guy is dense, but that's the norm. I like the OP and ED a lot.

Sure are a lot of random harmful rules for the dude she's accidentally engaged to.

Still not convinced about the supernatural stuff. The pact ended up being more troublesome than expected so I hope they actually break it at some point.

Now, i'm sure there is, will be a good explanation for all that galaxy stuff ... but i feel its kind of redundant, for now, why not just make it a regular rom-com thing. Cause for now it's really just kinda weird, lol.
Yeah right? I thought I was the only one who didn't like that, because it's just weird. Does this story really need it? I think I would enjoy this more if it was just a normal rom-com, about drawing manga, and just everyday slice of life stuff. Why add in Goshiki's stinger and this star people story? Honestly not sure how I feel about this show because of those elements

And yes, the brother and sister are absolutely adorable

I really wish this was just a normal romcom. The beginning idea seemed to me that he would fall for his assistant manga artist, but when this whole thing about outer space and a tail came in, it was a bit dumb IMO. I'll keep watching and maybe I might like it more
Fr lol I think I would enjoy this more if it was just a normal rom-com. I really don't know how to feel about it because of those parts

Depending how the next episode goes I may end up dropping this? I really don't know. When I first read about it, I thought it was going to be just a normal rom-com about a princess meeting a manga artist, but then the weird plot with her stinger and the star people came in, and idk it just caught me off guard. It feels unnecessary at least to me :/

the dialogue between 20:00 - 21:10 doesn't make sense at all as if they begin jumping from one in the middle to another one suddenly.

Am I the only one that thinks its a bit off-putting and jarring that Goshiki stated she was absolutely determined not to have a romantic relationship based off a mishap. Yet their whole relationship is currently based off a mishap and she doesnt really seem to care....... or did I just misunderstand something? I really have high hopes for this series and hope my worries are unfounded

It was a little boring, but okay, it will be tolerated. Send references to the Hancock movie.
May be some anime?

If anything they're making stuffs more complicated with these rules and regulations. I mean we know these two would get closer to each other anyways going forward, so why this much philosophy lol.

Kuga-san and Goshiki-san have an interesting dynamic: it is clear that Kuga-san believes that Goshiki should have the freedom to choose who she wants to love, notwithstanding that Goshiki-san—who also wants to annul the bond—seems to like Kuga-san very much.

I mean it would be really weird and confusing to see something like that (a shining tale from a person you just met) and then kind of proposing to you to be her husband out of nowhere. I don't know what to feel about that first scene but anyways, I'll just keep on watching this to see his adorable siblings messing around with them in a cute way.

Great now a "curse" to force them to be close... urgh. They're basically forced together by plot conveniences.
I feel so disappointed. Reminds me of those weird romance anime I watched when I was a young teenager.... but this time with adults characters.

If you want an alien romance wtf way over the top just go watch To love-ru.
"Soft sci-fi romance" in a slice of life setting life this is just out of place and kinda cringe. They should have gone Tonikaku Kawaii way, soft, cute slice of life, and the supernatural isn't introduce until a long time into the romance. Here they just throw it at our face in the first episode, and then this... it would have been so much better if they built the romance before revealing all this crap.

Or you just make the classic arranged marriage setup thing idk

I was so annoyed it took me two days to watch the episode
Their relationship is so abusive in her favor I can't stand it, and of course MC is a doormat

This is not a normal adult romace 😑
If only the girl is "normal" N they make a normal situation for romace, not a stupid reason for romance 👎
F**** garbage..

Can't be more than 7/10
