She lives next door, and is small and cute. With an outgoing character, she's the caring Onee-san type, this being one of her greatest strengths. ...But, I already have my first love, the beautiful idol of our school, and the award-winning author, Kachi Shirokusa! Thinking about it rationally, I should have no chances with her, but, while walking home from school, she only talks to me, with a smile even! I might actually have a chance, don't you think?! Or so I thought, but then I heard that Shirokusa already has a boyfriend, and my life took a turn for the worse. I want to die. Why is it not me?! Even though she was my first love... As I was drowning in despair and depression, Kuroha whispered. —If it's that tough for you, then how about we get revenge?

| That's easily one of the finest Cast list that I've had the pleasure of viewing! Synopsis and title is more than enough to convince me to give this a shot and I most certainly will. And Doga Koba as always is a big plus! |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Agreed, that's an impressive cast! Can't wait to watch this. Didn't expect Minase Inori to play an onee-san character. |
 |
| *sees the studio* *sees the cast especially Minase Inori and Oonishi Saori*  |

| Wow, that cast lineup though. And Inorin is voicing the protagonist's childhood friend? I'm sold. Ganbatte, Inorin! <3 |
| What a cast lineup and Studio Doga Kobo to boot, this anime's gonna be legendary. |
 |
| Matsuoka harem in all its glory. |
 |
| WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS CAST? AND DOGA KOBO THO holy shit im in |
 |
| OH FUCK! Right as the manga adaptation is starting to get spicy they go and announce this too. Gotta say, I wasn't expecting this but I am extremely happy to see it. Looking at Doga Kobo's lineup, I think they may be the studio that I've dropped the most shows from. All the shows they've worked on that I've dropped, however, were dropped because I just didn't find the content of the show interesting. Their production hasn't ever been a problem for me, so I'm not worried about this adaptation, because I already know I like the story. |

arne0 said: As impressive as this cast is, nothing can beat Uramichi Oniisan’s voice cast now Fair enough. I suppose it’s likewise with Osomatsu-san. But the combo of this show’s cast plus the Studio does pack a unique punch, though. |

| That cast though! Looking forward to hearing Kirito, Eugeo, Eriri, and Rem's voice all in the same anime. Also, Doga Kobo - immediately watch once it releases. |
| This is very generic by non-isekai standards, the art there makes it even more apparent. It screams "I've seen similar before". |
 |
| LOL we just lost one Love Comedy and already we have another interesting I hope it isn't just another generic story |
| I bet she will lose anyway. The title set the flag. Lmao they went ultra-budget for the cast. |
| bruh |
| OF COURSE it's Yoshitsugu. The Harem King continues to reign supreme lol |
 |
| but childhood friend deserve to lose. Also I didnt think oresuki will have 2nd anime adaptation but differently. |
| The title is a lie. |
 |
| Matsuoka strikes again with his harem and his best friend, only Kayano is missing. |
| Tsugutsugu x Inorin for the win. |
| More garbage harems ... Skip |
 |
| Wow guys look its another shitty "meta" light novel adaptation that definitely won't end up just being like any other generic light novel. |

| Man... Do we really another one of these again? |

jc9622 said: Bruh the title said she won't lose, not she'll win. Status quo ending incoming :DI swear to god, if I watch this anime and any other girl, aside from the childhood friend, wins then this shit automatically gets a 1/10 and I'm suing the author for false advertising since the title clearly says "...where the childhood friend won't lose" lol. I just want a romance anime where the childhood friend wins; is that so hard to ask for?? 😭😭 Also, Doga Kobo is animating this show huh? This is an insta-watch for me. |
 |
| Character design looks good, I heard that Ui Mama made it. I hope it won’t be like generic rom-com series. Looking forward to it. |

YorukaWaifu said: StalkerFairy said: Strange choice. From what little of the manga I read, it didnt really go anywhere. I'd rather they do an adaptation of "My childhood friend's sister is annoying only to me". At least that has something. The manga adaptation is pretty bad but the LN is very popular in Japan. Tomodachi no Imouto ga Ore ni Dake Uzai is going to be adapted for sure in the future (it's always at the top LN sales), and I hope that Otonari no Tenshi-sama and Mamahaha no Tsurego ga Motokano datta gets adapted too. It finally seems like the light novel industry is leaving isekai genre behind, in favor of other genres such as romantic comedy and "pure" fantasy. Anime adaptatios happening and the LN industry are two different things, which even so, anime adaptations of LN aren't the majority for isekai for ages. |
| Can't wait for this one to come out :) The light novel was amazing, and I can't wait to see the scene where Kuro rejects Haru animated XD |
