Perfect way to ruin the anime. The pacing was too fast. They ruined the essence of the show. Still hope something better is coming

Considering this is classed as shounen its actually going places and I'm fully invested.

Best romance of the season, miles better that bottom tear charter which is a total snoozefest.

The anime is starting to feel like its not taking advantage of its full potential. Based off episode 1 I was really excited and was expecting to rate it a 9 based off all the potential. Introduced a pretty good cast of characters, and has an interesting premise. But instead of having a plot for the entire anime other than the romance, they just make different things happen each episode which is getting repetitive and is killing my enjoyment of the anime.

For the first 3-4 episodes it felt extremely quick and now its feeling a bit longer.

Even Rent-A-Girlfriend has a bigger plot than this, I really hope something changes.

I certainly expected it to be much more than just a romance anime. Guess not. Lets see if the remaining episodes can prove me wrong.
I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol.

damn. this anime should have been 24 episodes instead of 12.... the fast pacing makes ppl give it bad reviews becuz everything happens too fast, and only those who read the manga\webtoon would actuly get why what and who with this fast pacing....
the director of the anime should have thought about the ppl who come to this anime without reading\knowing the origins and mae it at least 20\24 episodes like most shojo animes///
we who waited years for this to get an actual anime feel saad about the bad reviews becuz they are no justified :<

nice episode. Im liking the character progression and im suuper happy with how they animated the scene of hori and miyamura, gotta get my weekly sugar intake.
It was also nice to watch souta got upset and how fast miyamura was able to calm him down.
all in all a good episode. Based on the speed of the anime, Im really excited to see akane next episode... hopefully

I just notice they are using flip phones. What year does this anime take place in?


Probably 2011 (manga releasing year), but in Japan cellphone line and cellphone it self are way expensive, basically there is no cell line and then the phone, a cellphone is sold with a line included (and it's expensive, as I said)


Wow, I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know.

They finally do the sex?


I think so, they are both shirtless and are around 17. Plus in the manga souta gives miyamura his school's pin and asks if he and hori do that often two which miyamura says no

Another good episode, the anime seems to be skipping some bits from the manga but its not that much of a big deal anyway.

We have a 'love triangle' forming between Yoshikawa, Ishikawa and sakura which will be exciting to see how it's handled.

Although they didn't show it in the anime, I'm pretty sure Souta saw Hori and Miyamura doing it, which is a huge yikes but the bit at the end when souta and miyamura talk about hori makes Souta feel a lot better which is good

I never expected Miyamura and Hori to go all the way, but they did in this episode. It came out of nowhere for me because it happened so fast and they quickly downplayed the sex scene. Toru doesn't seem to realize that he is in a love triangle between Sakura and Yuki.

So that skipped all the way to the sex scene, damn that's some fast pacing.

It was a lot more ambiguous than it was in the manga, but at least they showed the after credit scene, I've been waiting for that to be animated hahahah

We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths.
As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are.

Was nice to see more from Yoshikawa's perspective of how she is in love with Ishikawa, while he is getting more and more along with Kouno. That must hurt, especially with how Yoshikawa's personality is. How to see more of that in this second half of the show.

Five days without one another, Hori had it rough and boy... Did I not see that coming so soon XD Was it cause he was away for a few days, that it stirred those emotions in Hori? Well either way, they banged alright! The bite mark made me crack up.

Ohhh Tooru, Sakura, & Yuki love triangle. Two girls like Tooru, probably because he's too kind, but he's dense to notice it. He said he love "sakura" tho, does it mean Sakura has the upper hand? Yuki and Tooru are friends for quite some time tho. It's a bit complicated. lol

OMG! Distance made Izumi and Kyouko bolder, they did it! Kyouko even marked Izumi. lmao. Sota is sad tho, but I guess he'll overcome that feeling once he grow older.

I feel that something is gonna go wrong or someone is going to die.

Please tell me that no one is going to die!

I literally have a problem with overly connecting with characters. It took 3 months for me to get past Clannad, two months for angel beats. When I watched 13 reasons why I could only watch about 15 min a week because it destroyed me


Please please tell me if I need to stop watching

I was thinking that they would end the season with "Can I have Kyouko?"
Well since they have skipped quite a bit of content any ideas where this season will finish?
I hope they don't speed through and go to graduation to finish the anime with the manga, now that we know the manga is ending soon.
I'm assuming the ending will be the same as the original version, for the manga.


I'd imagine they would end

loved the changes in the OP visual!! there's two hands instead of one reaching out for the box, and there's new scenes of miyamura, hori, and the gang. super cute!

and so ch. 37 is animated... the after-credits scene showed the bite mark hori left.

overall the pacing of this episode felt really off but I still enjoyed it way too much, lol. looking forward to next week!

is it just me or did the art style look a bit different this episode? it was also quite fast paced episode compared to the others but i didn't mind too much.

regardless, this was a pretty nice episode. some nice development and focus on the green and blonde hair girl, her making cupcakes and stuff was so wholesome. it was cute seeing hori-san's reactions when miyamura went to hokkaido too.

also, that ending and post credit scene... yabai

I like how they made it uncertain as to whether or not they did the deed initially, but as soon as the outro ended it was basically confirmed with 100% certainty.

It's cool that they shined more on the supporting characters in the first half of the episode. I wonder how Ishikawa and Yoshikawa's interactions will develop from here.

That elevator scene between Hori and Miyamura was melodramatic af though 😭

They also smashed fo sho. No doubt in my mind at all.


It really was like it was five days... It makes sense for Hori as a character tho considering how possessive she is. Overall its sad how bad the pacing is in this show because of the 13 ep count that probably could've been 2 3 or even 4 seasons of content.

Well, another episode of forced romance but thankfully, those first 10 minutes or so with Ishikawa and Sakura's side story made up for it. Honestly hope they receive more focus in these following weeks because at this pace, Miyamura and Hori will end up getting married, having kids and maybe more.

And also of course they had sex. Considering how unrealistically rushed their relationship is portrayed, them doing the banging was already a given. Funnily enough tho, I expected them to go physical by at least episode 10 lol.

Now on a more serious note, the scene between Souta and Miyamura left me a bit confused. Did Souta hear them having sex? The scene felt awkwardly placed so I don't know.

Another fantastic episode, Horimiya doesn't fail to impress me.
Loving this new love triangle, even tho i am still not sure who i am cheering but Yuki is taking the lead for me. On the other hand, we don't know if Tooru has any feelings for any of them

Episode 7 and we already had a sex scene, didn't expect it to even happen but i am glad Horimiya is different. And the whole Souta scene was also great.

And that ending, "the mark of ownership" lmao

Kind of fast-paced and all over the place but still a good episode. I'm curious if they actually did it or was it just shirtless cuddling with no penetration. Either way their relationship is progressing.

Waiting for the drama between Ishikawa, Yuki and megane girl but with how they tackle drama in this series, I'm sure it's not gonna be heavy.

I like how the side characters get screentime and we can have a glimpse into their lives as well. hori and miyamura's interaction was cute and funny. Also the first time (?) hori called miyamura by his first name. And idk what happened between the two of them but they were shirtless at the very least. The scene with Souta was really nice as well. Also, that mark of ownership was something. I like this show a lot, it's a normal relationship and wholesome with none of those cringey tropes from other romance animes. Felt a little fast paced but either way i l loved this episode, my favorite episode so far.
