| gotta say, the art quality really exceeded my expectations. That being said, my expectations were total dogshit, so that's not really saying much. At the very least, this shows visuals are decent compared to other modern anime. Actually, maybe my standards have just fallen to the gutter at this point after watching some of Gotobun no Hanayome haha. I don't know about these character designs though, especially the blue haired girl. Oh yeah, and before I forget, this is pretty badly written. Not really surprising though really. Romance, harem anime especially, typically suffer from this so I don't really care that much. It's still at the point of being watchable, but I feel like when other members of the harem are introduced I'll immediately lose interest. Not because I particularly like our existing cast, but because it will just water down the show even more. TBH I think the premise as is is strong enough to continue on without adding any more harem members but we all know that isn't going to happen. |

| While i am happy this being adapted.. i think the introduction of characters and main story in manga seems better to me.. mostly because more monologues from nariyuki at certain scenes and his backstory.. Anyway, sensei best girl. |

| The f*cking animators know the deal! The other Best Girl will be appearing in the next episode. #TeamSensei and TeamUruka.

You didn't have to refer to the anime because @Zerity doesn't know that gotoubun oneshot was released before bokuben got serialized. But the two manga are worlds apart. Nariyuki is a sweet guy compared to that jerk Fuutarou. But this one moves at a snail's pace and has considerable amount of ecchi. Crashmatt said: Meh doesn't seem to be as good as quintuplets. The characters designs are certainly not as strong. Hope it improves. It has that tendency of repeating the same thing over and over again and it falls in a loop very fast. But take it as a light heart romcom. Gotoubun is much more better in character development, plot progression and overall presentation if you consider the post anime chapters but this can be fun if you take it lighly. |

TheEnhancedExe said: JiangHaoyi1979 said: Oh great a Gotoubun knockoff.............. It's just that the manga of BokuBen started serializing half a year earlier than Gotoubun. So if anything is a knockoff, it's the other way around. Although I think it was probably just coincidence that they had similar plot ideas at around the same time, since there's only half a year difference between the serializations. Nope. Gotoubun oneshot predates bokuben. OfficialSpimy said: Sigh... People calling this a Gotoubun knockoff, etc. 1st off, note that BokuBen's Manga was published 7 months BEFORE Gotoubun. Right. Since a lot of people already mentioned this above, I'm gonna keep this short. BokuBen's main focus is on Comedy ans Slice of Life while Gotoubun focuses more on the Plot (Story) and Romance side of things. They may share the same premise of male student tutoring other female students, but the plot as a whole is completely different. No ripoff. But what I said above |

| Like I thought few months ago it will be weird to watch Bokuben anime because girls still will have their original personalities. I don't remember at which point but Tsutsui rewrote Rizu and Fumino completely. |
 |
| Both geniuses and stupid at the same time lol Characters seem fun so far. |

Farabeuf said: I feel I've seen this show a thousand times, but I'm gonna give 3 or 4 episodes to see if it offers a new angle that makes it worth my while. Same here, bro. Feels like worse Gotoubun. |

LightBladeNova said: It makes me sad to know that still hardly anyone knows what a visual novel is, even in the anime community. |
| I feel pity for Gotoubun having such bad anime production when its main rival (this anime) has a decent one |

| another tutor type anime hmmm lol |
 |
| the dad is a amazing dad |
| Good Harem anime like Hanayome. |
| It reminded me a bit of Gotoubun no Hanayome, with the dude being a tutor for cute highschool girls who actually suck at studying (some subjects, at least) But this time, I appreciated the fact they are genius in litterature/maths but still decided to attempt totally opposite studies, due to their personal motivations. Interesting for now ! Also I liked their design (shiny blue hairs, very small glasses one & the next girl with non-classical hairs as well) : I guess the more colorful it is, the more I like it. |
 |
| it was an okayish type of decent harem!? 4/5. |
 |
| Loving this already. |
 |
| A friend of mine recommended me to read the manga a year ago, but I only read like 5 chapters. Since the anime is here,I guess I'm just gonna watch it then and read the manga once the anime is finished. |
 |
| The art, comedy and characters are trash! How is this above a 7 on mal? I'll give it the 3 ep treatment in case the other girls are more interesting, hopefully. |
| Loved the opening song and visuals so far. Furuhashi puppy eyes were killer imo. |
 |
| Is this poor-man Gotoubun, eh? But I kinda liked it, both characters are cute and the first episode was enjoyable enough. The exposition was rather scripted but I understand they wanted to fit everything important into first episode. Wonder what third genius girl is like. And Kirisu teacher is also someone I want to learn more about. |
Mich666 said: Is this poor-man Gotoubun, eh? And Kirisu teacher is also someone I want to learn more about. You cannot but compare I guess. In all honesty, the similarity ends with the fact that both are harem romcoms and deals with student-classmate-teacher. Other than that, nothing is similar. Maybe of your interest: Kirisu-sensei actually started off as a side character in the manga and was introduced much later. However, her popularity became so immense in Japan (she smashed the official character poll) that she had to be promoted to a main character by the author. Hell, even Tsutsui-sensei was shocked with the results of the poll. The anime starting with Kirisu-sensei was also due to the animators taking her immense popularity into account. As for some of the comments above despite of making it clear: Gotoubun oneshot was released BEFORE bokuben serialization. So, technically, gotoubun came out first. But that should not change your opinion about either because the two manga are like apples and bananas. |

| hmm it reminds me of Gotoubun no Hanayome |
 |
| Decent enough start! Sort of felt less dynamic than, say...Quintessential Quintuplets. I'm not too sure if I care about the main character yet, but I'm interested so far. I like the one with the red hair more, lol. |
 |
| Animation was different but still enjoyable. Oh boy Harem time? Pick your best girl people! |

| It was...okay, I guess. Typical even. I thought I'd stop watching midway, but it kept my interest and made me chuckle even. We'll see next episode if I will want to continue or not... |

But that should not change your opinion about either because the two manga are like apples and bananas. They're not ignoring what you're saying, you're misinterpreting what they're saying, stop repeating the same thing over and over. They're saying Bokuben serialization came first before quint which is a fact, a one-shot is not a serialization, if anything quint author or editor or the one publishing it was waiting if a tutor type romcom can work, which it did so they went along and rided bokuben's popularity considering it took them a massive amount of time before doing an actual serialization. Plus, the one shot and bokuben serialization roughly came out around the same time. You gave me another opportunity to repeat it. Your logic and anyone else's for the matter is super flawed if that is the case. It was picked from multiple one shots on WSM based on fan polls who read WSM. It has nothing to do with what WSJ produces. Bokuben was not that popular to begin with. Tsutsui Taishi only got XXXXX (insert a female character here if you know who I am refering to, otherwise I know you don't know much) fans liking the manga in the beginning. The reason why Fumino is popular is partly because of XXXXX fans (I was the same). It's common knowledge even amongst bokuben Joes and Jims. But fans in general wanted something new in Tsutsui Taishi's manga instead of 2 main heroines like his mentor did. Uruka didn't help the cause behind breaking out of 2 main heroines either even though her fanbase grew steadily over time. It only hit popularity after a comment in a Japanese board that what if Kirisu-sensei became a main heroine appeared after a chapter surrounding her and that spread like a wildfire. Kirisu-sensei and Ashumi-senpai were originally side heroines. But sensei's incredible popularity became apparent in WSJ surveys and it became reality after the first character poll. Ashumi-senpai also got promoted to a main heroine. Some say it was a by product of Kirisu-sensei's promotion while others say because she almost out did one of the 3 main heroines in the poll. The number of sensei/senpai chapters increased around the prelim surveys and then more after the poll. Meanwhile, if serialization was not on the cards, they would not hold popularity character poll of the quints based on the one shot where Miku came dead last, prompting Negi to change her character design. WSM announced the serialization is given a green light based on the fans' response. Bokuben was still trying to attract fans outside #TeamXXXXX because most of the others were casual readers until Kirisu-sensei and Uruka started to get the spotlights. Tl;dr: Do some research before making over the top arguments. Also, student tutor romcom/harem is not a new thing. Bokuben/gotoubun fans think it as the pioneer. You do too, subconsciously perhaps. Because you made up something on your own and made it into a statement of the masses because no one said what you did. You see. You became part of the bokuben bandwagon. You don't have to become someone who judge bokuben and gotoubun by whichever came out first. It really shouldn't matter because both are completely different types of manga with different way of dealing with the setup, characters, pacing, plot and whatnot. |

| This reminds me gotoubun a lot. Can't wait to see the tomboy waifu next week owo |
 |
| This was actually kinda enjoyable. Also, I really like Ogata Rizu's character design, not something you get to see in main characters usually. |
 |
| Pretty okay for a first episode. Entertaining enough for me to keep watching. The art reminds me of Nisekoi and Inou-Battle for some reason. Like, a cute mix of both. |
| I think the ultimate detriment to this episode was that they abandoned 'Chadyuki', that being, Nariyuki was super condescending and full of himself, trying to compete with the 2 girls while being ignored. It was that dynamic, really, that got me hooked on the manga, and what made his resolution at the end of the episode matter. Basically the same situation as the 5-toubun adaptation; abandoned a lot of nuance and lost its charm from the source. |

Yes.. this exactly what i have in mind after watch eps 1.. the introduction of characters better in the manga... |
|
| The starters was good and makes me start to feel exciting as the story progress. But feels like the story was kinda in rush and lacks of something. Both of the girls are cute and lovable, especially fumino <3, main characters is too bland but that's standard for harem genre MC. Op song sounds pretty good, I like it. Katekyoushi and harem setting does make me remember of gotoubun no hanayome but the feels when watching both of the show are completely different imo. |
     |
| Opening is catchy at most Story has more to tell about... will observe for at least 3 eps to drop opinion. |
| Pretty average harem it seems but I liked it enough to keep watching for sure |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| The starting was a bit different from the manga but it felt refreshing. Everything else seems okay. I'm disappointed with the low score though. Ohh well it was just the first episode. I guess it will go up eventually. |
 |
| Liked it more than I thought I would because I'm always sceptical about harem shows. I'm not annoyed by the characters and I also have some sympathy for the MC. Looking forward to the dark skinned girl next episode, she's pretty cute. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| I really like the soundtrack. Two songs stood out to me already. Look forward to more. Both the girls are cute too so that's a relief. |
| "More than anything, I wanted to protect her. Not cause it's my duty or what's expected of me, or anything like that. I wanted to protect her because of how amazing she is because I believe she's totally worth it. It's always been her, and it always will be...Forever." |
| Highly similiar to The Quintessential Quintuplets/The Five Wedded Brides. |
