OtakuKun1 said: This is not quite a romance anime, but more like a sports one. MC is well defined, but I would like to see better interaction with Chinatsu. Bullshit. There's little focus on sports and a lit of focus in the character's feelings. Sports are just a pretext for the romance. God, I hate zoomers. |

| Just because the person did something before, doesn’t mean they will continue to do something in everything. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| So? If he doesn't that would at least make his story different than 90% of Romance-Anime, out there. That's something. |

| What is this even trying to say? Again, they're not even childhood friends. |

@ejleon what ? I said they are doing this to everyone and you are doing philosophy in front of evidence, should you really ?
| @Destined321 I am just expressing an opinion, not a philosophy, calm yourself down and stop acting so uncontrolled at something as irrelevant as my personal opinion |

| Have you ever heard that people subconsciously perceive childhood friends as surrogate siblings and therefore childhood friends in many cases are perceived by us through the same prism as siblings? And yes, too many conclusions based on one story. |

Maybe that’s your opinion. It’s true that this anime is also focusing on feelings of the characters, but the sport is there too.
So far, the relationship between Chinatsu and Taiki did not advance further. They still seem to be confused about this.
| @OtakuKun1 It's what I said, sports are just a pretext for the romance. Taiki realistically only is fired up to get to the nationals because he wants to eat some What I mean is, you could discard the scenes where the MC is playing badminton, but not the aquarium scene. You see, Taiki winning the match was just a pretext for them going to the aquarium. In the end, this show is just kind of pretentious, bullshitty, unrealistic; but it's fun to watch somehow. |

| @MegamiRem Perhaps, but the unfortunate childhood friend is a fairly well-known cliché in romance anime. We even have a separate show about it lmao. |

| @RobertBobert It's a pretty common trope yes but he wasn't talking about that. He mentioned about how the author of this anime/manga doesn't like childhood friend romance and I can see why he'd think that. Can't elaborate cause spoiler. |

This is one of the more realistic high school romance animes recently. How is it pretentious? Dude has a crush and is trying to do all he can to make it a reality even though he’s shy. It’s not like Taiki is a slouch or a super cringey MC where you wonder why anyone would be interested in him. Oh, and neither Chinatsu or Hina are tsunderes.

| @MegamiRem I didn't say he meant it. I mentioned this as an example of why this is not necessarily an intentional sign. And even if that's the case, the author could very well have just used it as a mirror of the MC's relationship with his childhood friend. |

He made a generic storyline by being cliche about every Childhood friend in anime losing, EVERY lol this plot is same as 90% of anime out there BUT problem instead is author isnt fond of every childhood friend.(NOT SAYING All Childhood friend must win all time)
Also robert nope you cant see Childhood friends as siblings, you have to live and sleep in same house, room with any human to identify them as siblings/sister.
Okay funny thing Chinatsu lives with MC and their entire home relations is like siblings too which puts me off as big brother.

| @Destined321 Nah. Most Shows DO actually portray this whole Childhood thing as something sacred and true, romance wise. |

| @Destined321 You are describing an extreme example, although at the same time the Westmark effect is a fairly well-known and studied thing. Also, didn’t you think that the author, on the contrary, wanted to use the desacralization of romance between childhood friends as one of the themes of the story as a whole? |
