I don't get the diabetees part as manga reader said
I didn't exactly get it either from the first episode. But - as a reader of the manga as well - let me tell you that it's there. A plus of the manga (any manga, really) just is that you can speedread to where it gets better. This may have a bit of a slow start.
My apology, you're right. Actually, my standard on Male MC is lower than you think of me. My taste of romance/romcom is really trash. I even believe that some elementary school kids maybe have better love story.

Great episode. The Girl is really hot, love her. And I like the MC a lot too, its nice to see MCs with Murder fetishes.

Hopefully many aren't off-put by the first episode or how Ishikawa is. It's just some weird quirk he has and its dropped pretty quickly. He's actually more likeable in the anime.
I think its just used for the story premise or to set up the romcom. It gets a lot more wholesome as it goes along.
The comedy or classroom jokes are a little more on the seinen type. Which probably surprised a few expecting something else.

not the storyline I was expecting but the one I definitely needed. This is going to be an absolute banger of a series I can just feel it. Episode 1 started out really strong. Great animation, music and a very unique cast.

These two seem like complete polar opposites to each other so it'll be interesting to see how their relationship develops. Both of them are extremely amusing to watch in every good way possible.

looking forward to next week

Uh, no, pls don't. I meant I pretty much get where you're coming from and would probably feel the same (had I not read the manga already ... and then, still, maybe the some of the stuff isn't captured as well in the anime or whatever).

This makes two banger shows in a row for me today and both happen to feature a character named Yamada lol. I can’t lie, Ichikawa thinking of killing people in the beginning was a bit spooky but as the episode got going I started to like him more and the bits got more fun, and I also really like Yamada already, it’s like if Komi could communicate and also eats a lot lol.

And speaking of the bits there were a lot of great ones already, I enjoyed just about all of them in this first episode but I think I liked the bit with the two of them acting like cats behind the bookshelf the most lol, and I also gotta commend the guts of the short haired guy for exposing his preferences in BBWs lol, and looks like he actually won her over a bit too. I also liked that we saw the students doing presentations with poster boards, that’s one of the most relatable school projects for me and it’s not something you usually see, was pretty nostalgic lol.

And the end of this episode solidified it for me, I love this show, I can’t wait for more! And that OP (I’m guessing) at the end slapped as well, really loved that guitar.

When I heard the music at the end I thought that sounded so much like A Silent Voice... surely enough it was Kensuke Ushio, nailing it as always. Pretty good first episode and I'm really liking the animation.

Kind of a weird one. It was funny mainly for the direction in which the jokes went but till how long that will be sustainable, is the question. Other than that, there's not much, has it's cringey moments which both feel intentional as well as unintentional. Oh, there's also Ushio's score, but between this and Tengoku, it's pretty obvious what the clear winner here is.


"USE"



he didn't slept much as he said

I also caught this lol, I honestly appreciate details like this.

hmm so that was cringe, it may have been going for it though, i mean with the whole emo look to ichikawa. it's too obvious.
welp, let's see where this goes. from the 4 seasonals i began today, this has been the only mid one so far but i'll give it a chance still.

This is that good cringe lol, the internal monologue was pretty hilarious to listen to. Who hasn't thought about wanting to kill someone before? I definitely had a small stage in my young life similar to that XD Having murderous thoughts is a lot more common than some may think.

This anime is on Hidive in most countries. In your country, it's probably Bilibili: https://www.bilibili.tv/en/anime

this was kinda nice.

the puns and the rhyming in the lines was great lol.

the premise is okay okay. the mc is fine i guess. it seems like the typical type where he will try to change after falling for the girl. the girl itself is pretty okay, not that cute but not bad either. she doesn't have that charm. maybe we'll start to see it as the series progresses. only 1 episode is not enough i guess.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

was really surprised to see the score that low, but like others have said the initial cringe might put off a lot of people. i feel like it's pretty obvious that his psycho chuuni act is just him trying to cope with being alone. i mean they're only 13 or 14. he doesn't actually want to murder her lmao he just doesn't know how to handle his awkward middle school feelings. i also absolutely love the OP.

This was nowhere near what I thought it would be like from the description. It's not dark at all. 

It's was amusing. I loved when he hugged the chip bag.  LOL  And how exactly did he put that magazine to use, hmmmm? LOL 

I think I can get over my dislike of the animation to continue watching.

Ok so the dude wants to kill the girl and the girl is weird and they make cat sounds together.

Count me in. It definitely did not hit me with a bang but I will give it a try. Maybe 3 to 4 episodes. If it doesn't get good I'm dropping it.

Get you a man that'd yeet his bike for you. 

That was a really really fun start and hilarious too! Ichikawa has that charming cringe energy lmao, man's trying to be a serial killer, but immediately folded in the presence of Yamada.

Also, speaking of Yamada, how many fucking Yamada's we got this season, we already have 3 just today alone.

Yamada's fucking stupid, I love her. 

Kenta got no chill, somebody come get your man, his fetish is leaking. 

Ichikawa and Yamada are both messed up in the head and I can't wait to see how their relationship develops.

Ohhh~ we get 2 Yamada's this season and I like this "Yamada" better lol. She's so cute AND ICHIKAWA IS EVEN MORE ADORABLE! HAHAHAHA XD

"They can't even hide how horrendously envious they get of anyone prettier than them!" I- I... well, he's just speaking facts :'D

This is really adorable. It reminds me a bit of Komi-san, but it's fun. I hope it will continue to be fun until the last episode!

Oh and what Ichikawa did was honestly kinda sweet :)

It is actually way better than expected.
Characters are actually being quirky and have personality, such sadly, is an outlier in today's romcoms.
Yamada is ditzy and an airhead. Totally lovable. Also tall and beautiful. Makes sense she is a model. A-tier waifu material.
Definitely way better l that "The Angel Next Door Sits On My Couch". At least so far.
